Final Approach 10

Final Approach takes a total 180 and becomes a serious series out of the blue. Shizuka’s father is back in town and he is none to happy about his daughter’s “games.” He wants her back home within a week, even going so far to bait her mentioning that her favorite grandfather has fallen ill. Now that’s evil!
Not much happens in this episode, and feels like yet another setup episode that will hopefully be concluded next time. Only two highlights were the fact this was a Shizuka-centered episode and the game her and Ryou play was pretty cute. I was disappointed that Ojo and Ryou basically went back to being “just friends,” thereby clearing the path for Shizuka’s automatic win. I reallly wanted an love-triangle to continue, and see the fun outcome of that… but I guess not. Hopefully things will pick up next episode. =/
