You have to love it when there is an anime series within an anime series, similar to Martian Successor Nadesico and Gekigangar 3, but with Bamboo Blade, it’s Blade Braver. Both share the awesome burning passion that is good versus evil, but there is a slight difference between the two. Bamboo Blade has Tamaki as the fan. Really, if there was Tamaki, I probably wouldn’t see Blade Braver being as awesome as it is. This episode shows HOW much of a fan Tamaki is and it sure brought us some funny, yet adorable and cute moments.

In many other series that I have seen, the addition of a gaijin character, whether they are a permanent cast member, or a one-off character, they bring about much awesomeness to the series. But in Bamboo Blade, well it certainly did bring some fun into the series, but in a sense I’m not really satisfied with it all. Don’t get me wrong, having Kelly fight Miyako over Dan-kun was funn, but I think it was because Kelly appeared for only half of the episode. But with the ending of the episode, I think we could see Kelly make another appearance, but only if Bamboo Blade was going for more than 24 episodes.

As I expected, Toraji decided to have Tamaki forfeit her match since she won’t be able to continue on. But the bigger surprise was how angry Tamaki really was seeing how she wanted to continue so badly but moreso that she didn’t realise she used her tsuki on Konishi. Still Toraji made the right decision and Kirino was the one that helped Tamaki calm down. As expected of the team’s captain. But even with Kirino, so much love for her. I just loved how she started to mellow out once she heard news of her mother, resulting in the team losing the match, but the most rewarding thing was that they all had fun.

You know in the past episodes, we’ve only seen a portion of what Tamaki is like when she is serious. In this episode, we see her even moreso, but we also see an angrier side to her which is more than enough to strike fear into the heart’s of her opponents. And boy is that just bloody awesome. She has every right to be angry after what Konishi did to her, but I am just surprised at how skilled Tamaki is even with sustaining such an injury, she truly is the ally of justice!

The first half of this episode covers much Kirino love but as well as how close Saya is with Kirino, goes to show that close friends really know each other well. I was kind of hoping for something a bit more serious or slice of life with Kirino finding out her mother collapsed last episode, but it appears not to be anything too serious which is good in a way so it doesn’t detour from the current pacing. It was also pretty funny seeing Kirino’s mother being all energetic despite being sick, and we can see where Kirino gets her vigour from.

Ah the training camp episode, a must in any sport related animes. We see a great deal of bonding going on here between the two kendo clubs and it goes to show that you don’t need to go to the mountains to train. But for some reason I didn’t find this episode containing that many funny moments which is kind of disappointing, though that doesn’t mean the episode wasn’t enjoyable. Besides, this episode is more about bonding than anything else, from the cleaning to the pool, the kendo training, and even going to the bathhouse together. Though I was rather surprised they didn’t show us any fanservice shots of the girls in the bathhouse.

So the fun continues on with this episode focusing on Satori joining the kendo club, of course with a little persuasion from Miyako. The best part was the approach that Miyako used on Satori as it was forceful, yet truthful in a way, but really, it was still manipulative. But despite all of this, Miyako is generally a nice person and she even helped out the kendo club by getting Satori to join. With the premise of joining to help her studies, I can see later down the track when it comes to exam time, we’ll be seeing some kind of study group which of course should bring us some more laughs.
