Kuragehime - Episode 1-2

"This show sucks"

...is what I've wanted to say at the first, considering the art and style of the series. But that proved me wrong, I like the plot very much it negated the negatives into positives.

Kuragehime, or Jellyfish Princess is set on a dorm which consists of only female otakus. You got that right, FEMALE OTAKUS! And they strictly keep it that way.

"The Nuns" is what they call themselves, for being cursed with unpleasant faces and weird hobbies. They seclude themselves iin the real world and call attractive ones "Hipster" or "Sylish". Therefore, they hate them for being cute.

The dorm consists of six female nerds. Banba - the train otaku, the dorm manager - a japanese doll otaku, Mayaya - the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" otaku, Jiji - an anglophile?, Mejiro - a famous BL mangaka, and Tsugumi - the jellyfish otaku. They were once internet friends who decided to live together for convenience.

Their tranquil life would've had continued if it wasn't for him...
Yes, that's a "him". Unfortunately, his name wasn't revealed yet, only his surname Koibuchi. He's a serious cross-dresser who helped Tsugumi in saving a dying jellyfish in a store.

He's become a troublemaker since he showed himself again at the dorm. Its kinda sad that this situation actually happens in real life, such when underprivileged people detest someone because of his/her wealth.







Feeling sorry for what he has done, he gave a lot of Matsusaka beef as an apology to the dorm.
Matsusaka Beef is a special kind of beef that is used in sukiyaki because its very tender yet very expensive to the commoner's eye.

Mayaya spouting some Romance of the Three Kingdoms reference. Sorry I can't relate to anything she says. All I know is that this is a game from the PS2 Console.

And Tsugumi, she reminds me of a girl in a noon time spanish soap opera in the past, I think it was Betty la fea - translated as Ugly Betty. Notice the freckles, the perm hair, the disheveled eyebrows, and the red, distinctive framed eyeglasses. LOL
