EPISODE REVIEWS

Hinaichigo is now my current fave doll! She is just too cute with her rice cakes. Also, that new doll that just showed up looks kind of cool but I can also sense the evil personality. But Shinku and Hinaichigo together really gives big sibling energy. Love that Jun also made an effort to find Hinaichigo's fave food despite his bratty attitude with her.

We begin this episode in a domestic setting, with the dolls interacting in the house, behaving like somewhat spoiled children. Hinaichigo wants to eat something she doesn't know the name of, and both Jun and Nori try to figure out what it is. I like how Jun's trauma was handled, and how, despite him being quite unlikeable as a character, we're later given scenes that help us better understand that he's deeply damaged inside but is making efforts to improve. Later in the episode, we meet a new, hostile doll, a more serious threat than Hinaichigo ever was, whose relationship with Shinku seems profound. Another thing I liked about the episode is how it addresses Tomoe and Hinaichigo's separation. It initially seemed insignificant, but later we see that the separation affected them both; after all, they shared a bond of friendship. I appreciate that this story explored that aspect.

Un muy divertido capítulo. En este vemos a Hinaichigo adaptarse a su nueva vida en la casa de Jun y Nori; además nos presentan a otra nueva muñeca que en mi opinión da mucho miedo y se ve que es muy buena peleando en los Alice Game, no importa qué mi apoyo siempre será para Shinku. Habrán más muñecas? Todas serán bien bonitas? Quién será el ganador de los Alice Game?
