| 11:48pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #06 — Manami Who? | | | | "Oh right, we’re paying Kikuko Inoue, better use her." Impressions: A pretty good episode, but part 3 was really cheap and barely had time to introduce the joke before it ended and that leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. If it was short just because the other parts ran long,... | | |
| 7:39pm | Manageable Modern Magic #05 — Parse Error | | | | Sense not found. Please reboot and recompile. Impressions: And so we come to episode 5, the 6th episode, and the chronologically 2nd episode. At least they do get that out of the way at the very start with Koyomi explaining to Misa that she’s from 6 years in the future. Except she’s not.... |
| 5:47pm | Touhou Kitougeki 3 Promo | | | | It figures that fewer than 24 hours would pass since I did my little preview before Aquastyle posts a long promo for their upcoming animated short or whatever you want to call them. The Sanae x Master Spark combination attack was hilarious. Nice to see the newbies getting some pre-emptive love too. And... |
| 8:30pm | Thumbing Through The Comiket 76 Catalog… | | | | Oh, the places you’ll go Whilst I tend to avoid the copious amount of dubious content (and dubiouser content) that most of the western world seems to enjoy with Comiket, it’s always fun to thumb through the games section and see if anything neat catches my eye. Okay, it’s pretty... |
| 2:50am | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! #07 — My Megabusters… | | | | Yes, yes, I apologize for the reference, but I couldn’t resist. Oops. I thought I had hit ‘post’ about 5 hours ago, not save. Apologies. Impressions: Another episode that wasn’t particularly interesting and failed to really go anywhere. I think we’re just killing time... | | |
| 10:37pm | When the Seagulls Cry #06 — Ride The Furniture | | | | Jess, why are you even asking its permission? Impressions: Ugh. I had hoped they’d speed through this part a lot more than they did. I guess at least they did a relatively thorough job covering one of the most painfully obvious relationship parallels that this story has to offer between Kanon... | | |
| 1:21am | GA Art Design Class #05 — A Day of Ritalin | | | | Zzz Impressions: Meh. A pretty dull episode with the highlight being that they finally got to the Horie Yui version of the ED, in addition to switching up the little chibis into doing somewhat different activities. My biggest issue was that it spent about half the episode on the other art club and... |
| 9:24pm | Princess Lover! #05 — Wasted Time | | | | You’re decimating that good first impression here, GoHands. Impressions: Ugh. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Nothing happens. Teppei gets an idea for his party and Charlotte makes him promise not to forget her. FORESHADOWING! Ha ha! Fore. There, I just saved you 22 tedious... | | |
| 8:12pm | Tears to Tiara #18 — Operatic Deaths | | | | Lo, I am slain, but first let me dump five minutes of exposition on you. I’ve got places to go and people to destroy meet today, so we’re rolling low-def here. Impressions: I like the darkened eyeshadow on Gaius, it makes him look like a clown that broke into Limwris’ makeup drawer... |
| 7:42am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #05 — Blue Slew | | | | Ow, my brain. Yes yes, I’m late. I’m also still minorly buzzed from alcohol. That may or may not impact my understanding of anything here. Impressions: Have I complained about the half-assed openings and endings they’re using this season to fill time yet? Ah, yes I have. It just... | | |
| 12:33am | Manageable Modern Magic #04 — I Dream of Jini | | | | Bad obscure computer puns R us. Eh? Yes, I’m alive. Just out this morning. Impressions: A tedious episode under even the best of circumstances. Perhaps most annoying about it was that the episode had a very distinct lack of music through the vast majority of it. Background tunes are something... |
| 10:02pm | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan #06 — Backlash | | | | Zzzzzap. Impressions: Well, an episode without bats, urine (outside of the eyecatch at least), or even almost any fanservice whatsoever, but it was so monumentally cliche that I’m not sure I liked it much. Apparently there are rare Zeta class people that generate electric backlash when they... | | |
| 10:19pm | When The Seagulls Cry #05 — OBJECTION! | | | | Witches were not formally admitted into evidence! Impressions: And finally finally after four long weeks, we get to Beatrice and the meat of this series. The first half of the episode was not any more interesting than usual, unless you’re counting all the different ways that Deen is messing... |
| 10:34pm | Kara no Kyoukai #06 — Fairy Tale | | | | Could have used more exploding. Impressions: Well I’m conflicted. I’ll start by saying that it was still a very solid watch all around, but it differs in structure and tone dramatically from the previous five, and they reduced practically half the mystery and story to just a pair of little... |
| 11:45pm | GA Art Design Class #04 — Kodachrome | | | | Titling these entries would be much easier if episodes had any sort of cohesion. Impressions: A marvelous episode all around. Like just about all of them, it did slow down a little bit at the very end and felt the need to tack on some dumb little moral to the whole thing, but the other 21 minutes... |
