Zero no Waitress
As you may have noticed, I don’t like to do episode blog entries. Usually I can’t think of anything clever to say and most anime episodes don’t give much to talk about. Sometimes I do a review of the first episode of a new series but other than that I try to stay away from what are essentially episode recaps with funny side remarks.
But episode 7 of Zero no Tsukaima has a lot of this:
I mean Siesta walks around in a maid costume all the time, but you don’t get to see Louise wearing a maid-waitress hybrid every episode…
:: Potentially spoilerish pictures after the jump ::
And neither do you see this happen everyday (mostly because Saito would be dead by now if it does):
Basically, Louise and Saito are tasked by the princess to go into town and investigate rumours of nobles oppressing the commoners (wow, how can that, like, ever happen?) and somehow Louise ends up working at a tavern that would look quite at home in the middle of Akihabara…
…Wait a minute, haven’t I played this game before?
And Jessica, the daughter of the tavern owner, is now my favourite Zero character! Even though this will probably be the last we see of her. Gao. She looks like Tsuruya…
And just like Tsuruya, she’s really friendly…
In fact, she’s exactly like Tsuruya…
…except for her, uhmm, those…
…I meant her teeth. She doesn’t have Tsuruya’s trademark fangs. What were you thinking? :P
Please make Jessica a recurring character! Kthxbye.

Pity it’ll never happen – but at least we got a good eyecatch of her. :D And Henrietta.

Jessica is a recurring character considering she’s actually Siesta’s cousin (I only know this thanks to Sushi-Y godly summaries :D)

Jessica is a recurring character in the novels… because of her links with Siesta. ;) Not sure whether the anime will feature her again. Do you read Sushi-Y’s summary translations of the Zero no Tsukaima novels?
JC Staff seems to be focusing on the love comedy parts, but the novels gets pretty dark with character deaths, wars, etc… later on.
Cheers.

… so she really IS Siesta’s bigger, bustier sister? I made a joke about that on Random Curiousity, but… holy crap.

If I wasn’t so broke this month that I have to resort to eating two meals a day, I would so get the novels…
orz

… well, that explains Jessica’s figure and forwardness. And her taste in men.
…
You know, I’d say something about ‘double-team’, but that’d probably get me dead faster than Saito after getting caught ‘in flagrante delecto’ with the rest of the cast… all at the same time.

Quick, any doujinshi artists here? Take notes!

Whoa there! I thought Kyon’s personal space was violated enough in SHnY (courtesy of Itsuki), but Saito’s?
Seriously, that’s too friendly… ;)
P.S.: First SHnY, now this. :)
