leene_chan | Bllllaaaaaaack Tornaaaaado!

This is only our Chinese tree peony "Black Tornado"'s second spring in the ground, and it's giving us a whopping five flowers! Chinese tree peonies are so slow-growing that you typically have to wait about 4 years to see such a display. Black Tornado was fairly young when we planted it, too. I guess those rockii hybrids really are the best!

I've watched 35 episodes so far, and so help me I like ZZ Gundam better than Zeta. The new characters have finally grown on me, and there's lots of Bright Noa acting cute. I don't even hate Elpeo Ple, even though I was fully prepared to want her dead. As far as Cyber-Newtypes go, she's actually more intelligent and less ridiculous than Four Murasame and Rosamia. Even if she is a skanky Lolita. Her voice isn't very squeaky.

I agree that the Moon Moon story arc sucked, though. And even though Chara Soon is hilarious, her voice acting is probably the worst I've ever heard short of fake Priss in Bubblegum Crash.
