| 7:57pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #06 — Bishoujo Sentai Love Ranger! | | | | Transform and roll out! Impressions: Mostly a very fun episode full of Minatsu’s generlized rambling about super sentai and such, but the drama was painfully bad. The Shiinas reveal that they’re transferring schools, then all of 8 minutes later, Minatsu decides that she’d much rather... |
| 6:32pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #06 — Thought Police | | | | Yawn. Impressions: Another fillertastic garbage episode about Mikoto’s first day as a member of Judgment where she learns how hard it really is to be a janitor and the morality police. And she saves a little girl’s bag from getting wet. I mean, hell, can you imagine if she had failed?... |
| 7:42pm | KIDDY GiRL-AND #04 — The Illicit Love of Little Girls | | | | Why are artificial humans always seven years old? Impressions: As has been the case with most of these episodes, this one went in a couple strange directions, which makes me wonder just exactly how much tequila the director has before he sits down to get the storyboards in order. The girls getting... |
| 6:49pm | Kämpfer #06 — Kissing Cousins | | | | Maybe just naked ones. Impressions: This school festival is never going to end, is it? Anyway, mostly a pretty fun episode, although the reveal of Mikoto as the new kampfer was a little needlessly drawn out. I was hoping there’d be a second one as well so that they weren’t just spending... |
| 3:07am | Asura Cryin’ #19 — Whiplash | | | | I got it bad, but it hurts so good. Impressions: Let me recap the pre-OP sequence of this episode: "My brother has a grave? What does this mean?" "Oh, phone call from MY BROTHER!?" "Tomo, GET THE HELL OUT!" –NINJA ON A MOTORBIKE THROUGH THE WINDOW– ""... |
| 8:10pm | When the Sea Gulls Cry #19 — Uryuu~ | | | | These opening episodes always suck. Impressions: Well, this fourth opening episode wasn’t really any better than the other three. Most of it was consumed by what is more of an epilogue to the previous arc following Ange growing up under Eva and learning about magic. They also introduced the... |
| 7:41pm | 11eyes #05 — “…” | | | | "Hi, I’m your mute dead sister." Impressions: As always, the red world segments really remain just about the only parts of these episodes that are interesting to watch, and since that chunk was only a couple minutes this week, there wasn’t a whole lot interesting going on here.... |
| 3:01am | All Hallows’ Eve | | | | Welcome to the festival of the dead. The dead arise to walk the earth but once a year Their souls fly forth to return from whence they came With them come hoary spirits long passed from this sphere And the denizens of the night to which terror is but a game. Curses and hexes come alive to bring... |
| 7:55pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #05 — Canon in DDs | | | | Poor Ken never gets a break. Impressions: Another great episode all around. I was especially happy with how good of a job did anthropomorphizing the Ken-Locker through the second half. Even without his poses and the gleam in his eye, they still managed to convey the same brand of his reckless energy... |
| 6:55pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #05 — Killer Lolis | | | | Well, lolier. Impressions: Oh goodie, another buddy argument episode. This is the second one I’ve seen in the last 24 hours and the second time that Railgun’s abused one half of a pair forgetting something to make the other half spazz out. At least we differentiated ourselves from the... |
| 7:51pm | KIDDY GiRL-AND #03 — Sakura’s Stick | | | | You’re not being subtle, gimik. Impressions: Not a particularly good episode, and nowhere near as funny as last week’s. The Card Captor Sakura spoof was worth a chuckle or two, but the rest of it was painfully cliche. We did get a short introduction to one of the new pairs of characters,... |
| 6:22pm | Kämpfer #05 — Service Service Service | | | | Like you expected anything different from this episode. Impressions: A pure fanservice episode through and through with a dumb play that dragged on for entirely too long. The most important thing is that Motoko’s finally back in the city and picked up her animal at the end of the episode. Maybe... |
| 6:37am | Asura Cryin’ #18 — Profound Questions | | | | "Why isn’t Takatsuki wearing panties?" Impressions: Ugh. I don’t even want to talk about this episode. It was terrible in just about every possible way. I don’t even know the physics involved in Takatsuki and Tomo even conceivably engaging in any kind of funny business... |
| 7:09pm | When the Seagulls Cry #18 — The Heart of a Witch | | | | Aren’t I clever? Impressions: Mostly a pretty fun episode from start to finish, but it did trail off a little bit with the jump into the future for the Ange lead-in towards the end and the debate was a tad how shall we say dense. Battler really should have at least come up with some kind of... |
| 7:05pm | 11eyes #04 — Ciao Belli Carbonara! | | | | I knew those years of Italian weren’t for nothing. Impressions: Actually, despite this being probably the episode with the least plot movement to date, I think it’s probably my favorite so far. There wasn’t too much random nonsense tossed out, there was minimal Tadashi (and his... |
