blodeueddEpisode 4 of the second season of Chinese PoT and I understood more than I thought I would! Not just the plot (which was simple enough -- the beginning of their match with Jousei Shounan! XD), but actual sentences.
Hmm, so the new set has 3 bunk beds in the dorm room instead of 2. First season had Ju Wan on top and Da Shi on the bottom (hurhurhur 8D and it makes perfect sense because in this potverse, Eiji TOTALLY tops) of one, and Hai Tang/Guo Guang on the other (how's that for a crack pairing: Kaidou topping Tezuka! XD). Now Mr. & Mr. Ju-Shi are still sharing (except Hai Tang hides his dirty socks under Da Shi's blanket?!), Hai Tang is still on top and I guess Guo Guang would be underneath if he weren't in the U.S. (the hottest destination for physical therapy!). And the third bed, it seems, has Zhen Zhi on top and Zhou Zhu on the bottom (more crack: Inui/Fuji!).
Yes, these things are important to me.
Also important is that Ju Wan is trying to out-pink Zhou Zhu, because now even his non-tennis clothes are very pink. But he manages to make it look manly, and did I say he was sort of hot? He IS hot. Yum. And Da Shi has the most adorable smile. And he saves a pregnant woman!
Oh god, the hotpot restaurant scene nearly killed me. Hai Tang is just too easy to provoke. *pets him* And his stinky feet are still a running gag. XD
I was wondering how the hell they'd resolve the accusation of cheating on the test, because the only thing I could figure is that... Okay, I really had no clue how they could possibly resolve it, except for the coach to beg for Ju Wan to be allowed one last chance. Which she did, but it didn't do any good. Thank god for Xiao Peng and her video camera obsession!
They've really toned down Xiao Peng (Tomoka) this season! She's only gotten a few lines so far. And the ichinen solo got a haircut that makes him look like a girl. A really pretty girl. *_*
Halfway through the third episode, I started to wonder whether they'd recast Long Ma's dad, since we hadn't seen him, but he's still around. I think it's a shame they recast the coach as much younger, because there goes the whole backstory between her and the father! Now she has an old rivalry with Coach Boobs, who is not Coach Boobs in this version, though her boobs are bigger than Coach Lin's.
Hmph, I've pretty much decided that I don't much care for the new actress playing Xiao Ying. While I appreciate that they may be going for more potential romance between her and Long Ma, it doesn't suit the character (and it's not like Long Ma would notice, he's way too dense!), and the actress is too flirty, too pretty for the shy, rather awkward girl she's supposed to be (and she wears too much make-up for us to believe her even if she was a good enough actress!). The way she carries herself, it's clear she's used to having people be charmed by her looks; the original Xiao Ying was not ugly by any means, but seemed the type who didn't have enough self-confidence to even think to put herself forward in that way.
