Having had another "turn" as the Himegami, Izumiko is understandably rather torn up about the whole thing as this tenth episode of Red Data Girl begins, particularly given the hassles said Himegami gave to Sagar during her possession of Izumiko's body. There's little real time to dwell on this however with the Warring States-themed culture festival still in full swing; not that this stops

Izumiko patrols the Warring States Festival. Middle schoolers try to snatch her up for their parade, but she’s ‘rescued’ by Miyuki. She tells him she doesn’t like him talking about the Himegami, and he suspects that they might be one and the same. While investigating a haunted house making girls sick, Izumiko has another hallucination […]

After the encounter with the Himegami taking over Izumiko’s body, things gets stranger as the festival commences. After the emotional encounter where Himegami somewhat refused to give Izumiko back, there is something that intrigues me about her. Apparently, Izumiko still believes that Miyuki still prefers Himegami to her and said that their chemistry match. However, [...]

Get a Hold of Yourself So lots of stuff keeps happening in this series, but I continue to find it difficult to piece anything together at all, or even really grasp what direction this story is trying to go. Whatever the case may be, Izumiko has developed as a character in some ways, and some [...]

Now that the characters are in place, it is time for the story to really take off. As Izumiko, Miyuki, Mayura, and Manatsu head off for summer vacation the plot thickens and the tension builds. A good story thus far becomes even better, with amazing atmosphere and art. As the season goes on, this show ...>>Read more

It's school festival time in this week's Red Data Girl, with the theme of choice being the Warring States period - a period which too much thinking about seems to do Izumiko very little good... This isn't really the best time for our protagonist to be feeling the exertions of her summer however, as the school festival also means that the academy will be open to the public, in turn meaning that

「はじめての迷子 / はじめてのお願い」 (Hajimete no Maigo / Hajimete no Onegai) "The First Time Getting Lost" / "The First Request" It didn't come as a surprise to me that Manatsu would disappear with Masumi. Heartache makes you do some pretty crazy things sometimes.

Houjou Academy commences preparations for the school festival, the main theme for which will be the Sengoku (Warring States) period, including a combat game commemorating the bloody 1590 siege of the nearby Hachiouji Castle. Takayanagi asks Izumiko to side with him rather than Mayura. Izumiko has a strange hallucination and wakes up in the nurse’s […]

For some reason, because of the last episode, I had anticipated this episode to have some sort of epic showdown, or maybe even reach their climax; instead, true to Red...

As the festival inches closer, Miyuki is worried about Izumiko. From the looks of it, it seems that the festival will be reenacting fights that actually took place in Ancient Japan. It seems that Takayanagi already wants her. Because of this, it makes me wonder if he tricked her to become a model to bring [...]

Once again, I must apologize for the lack of “timeliness” in my blogging. I hope to get caught up over the coming weekend… On with the RDG review! While the first three episodes concentrated on character introductions, world building, and setting up the relationship dynamics between Izumiko and Miyuki, the next two are about school ...>>Read more
