| 6:41pm | Kämpfer #08 — “…Not Following You Here…” | | | | Thickest man alive. Impressions: This was the worst kind of episode. Nothing good enough to comment on and nothing bad enough to mock. The whole thing was just boring from start to finish. Shizuku tells Natsuru to go out on a date with her, and then spends the entire time forcing him to do ‘datey’... |
| 6:07am | Asura Cryin’ #21 — Otherworlds | | | | Yeah, even less interesting than expected. Impressions: A very boring episode, but I can forgive it. Most of the point it seemed to be making was "The world would be better if Aki was alive" outside of the black hole that is slowly eradicating the world. There was a nice little moment between... |
| 10:13pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OAD — Bwa!? | | | | I’m not even sure what the hell this is. Impressions: Wow! A 21 minute episode! It’s like a normal episode! That’s amazing, Shaft! You’ve overcome all odds and made an episode just as long as every other studio does every week. Congratu-bloody-lations. Whew. I better go lie... |
| 7:42pm | When the Seaguls Cry #21 — Broken Toys | | | | Good work, Rosa. Now burn it in front of her. Impressions: Another pretty boring Ange episode adding very little aside from Ange’s wildly fluctuating cup size, and those of the tit monsters bullying her as well. Oh yeah, and a very unwelcome sexual encounter for Sakutarou. Gee, I wonder if... |
| 6:17pm | 11eyes #07 — Groping Is Not the Answer | | | | But nice try, Yukiko. Impressions: Well, the entire time was spent in the red world, so that much was good, but Yuka’s angst was painful. It was even worse that they tried to contrast it against Yukiko’s past. "Your boyfriend doesn’t love you" is not an apt comparison... |
| 8:47pm | BouNce ♥ BaCk, TeCh=NoloGy | | | | Well, I’m not really a fan of either the new OP nor ED that started up about halfway through the terrestrial broadcast run (yes, yes, two weeks ago, I forgot about it), but more importantly, the OP’s all but a confirmation that it’ll be getting a continuation. Either that,... |
| 4:08am | Big Bang Beat 2 Announced | | | | OH HEY, GUYS. COMIKET 77 SEASON ALREADY!? In hindsight, I really should have made the rounds for the doujin news back when I saw the first announcement. Too late for that now, I guess! Anyway, Frontier Aja’s announced the sequel to Big Bang Beat, based on AliceSoft’s rather excellent SRPG... |
| 3:32am | Magical Battle Arena Complete Form | | | | Leaving aside the question of "What exactly does ‘Complete Form’ mean?" Looks like MBA’s getting another expansion for winter Comiket, adding StrikerS era Fate as well as a number of gameplay tweaks and modifications for netplay. Busy day for doujin game news. Although strangely,... |
| 1:52am | A Certain Railgun’s Panties | | | | http://www.werk-zwei.jp/railgu n/ Thanks, Werk. After Battle Moon Wars, I knew you had ‘great’ things in you. At least it’s an action game so won’t require a translation. I’m off the hook. Whew. Mikoto doesn’t even wear panties though what does she care? |
| 7:48pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #07 — The Breaking of Chizuru | | | | Mokyuu~~! Impressions: Let’s face it, Chizuru was tempting fate. Offering to let Ken check out her breasts, sleeping in the nude, kidnapping Sakurano during the night and now she’s turned into a sheep. Such is the way of the world. We can now definitively say that Chizuru has slept with... |
| 7:07pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #07 — Subtlety | | | | HEY GUYS, LOOK AT THIS!! Impressions: Seriously. I’m not sure they could have been more obvious about the whole iPod/headphones thing unless they had a giant blinking sign pointing to it in every shot. HEY GUYS! THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT! LET’S SHOW A CLOSE-UP OF IT EVERY TWENTY SECONDS.... |
| 7:45pm | KIDDY GiRL-AND #05 — Strange Directions | | | | Be glad I didn’t go with "Making Seven Year Olds Scream." Impressions: Okay, so this episode didn’t really go in a strange direction, just the direction was strange. Ha HA! Wordplay Anyway, the horror homage segment in the abandoned GOTT building was pretty much exactly as you’d... |
| 7:06pm | Kämpfer #07 — Psycho Killer | | | | Qu’est-ce que c’est? Ugh. Wordpress ate my post. Now I’m annoyed. Impressions: Another mostly plotless fanservice episode especially full of crazy Sakura and as much pornographic music as Nomad could scare up. One has to wonder what exactly Sakura’s grip on reality is. There... |
| 3:54am | Asura Cryin’ #20 — Burial Dolls | | | | Good lord, these last couple episodes have been intense. Impressions: Let’s start with the bad. The art and animation was again rather dodgy, and certainly nowhere near as impressive as last week. They also fell back into their bad habit of spewing exposition and technobabble out for three... |
| 7:29pm | When the Seagulls Cry #19 — White Witches | | | | The tint knob is not a toy. Impressions: A very very dull episode about how Ange got her groove back became a witch along with Maria. Mostly though, the whole thing was shrouded in so much white and tint that I think someone at Deen fell asleep at the wheel. You can show bright sunlight without covering... |
