Seiren ‒ Episode 6 Review l ANN

ANN – I was happy to see that Seiren kept things weird this week, continuing to invent new ways of making hobbies and conversations sound as bizarre as possible. This episode's weirdness highlight was definitely the conversation between Toru and Shoichi about deer mating, which was full of lines so direct they wouldn't even qualify as double entendres. Seeing Shoichi blush at the prospect of, in his own words, “producing offspring with Miyamae” is entertaining in its own way, and other embellishments like the “take your picture in a milk bath” craze that's apparently sweeping the nation were endearingly quirky as well. If nothing else, Seiren continues to be the strongest source of subtitle non sequiturs over any show this season.
