| 6:01pm | No Longer Human #01 — Catcher in the Rice | | | | It’s closer to Ellison’s Invisble Man, but then I wouldn’t be able to make the pun. I have no idea what was up with the raws yesterday. Normally they’re out on the Japanese streams within an hour or two. This (and Inuyasha if you want to be thorough) didn’t show up for... |
| 4:30am | The Sacred Blacksmith #02 — Pacemaker | | | | This show needs one, Impressions: Just a quick note to pop in and say that this episode was awful and I’m out. If you thought the monster standing around while Luke cast his spell was bad, it took another 90 seconds of Luke and the monster staring at each other before they attacked each other,... |
| 8:34pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #02 — Study A Go! Go! | | | | Ha HA! Golden girls Impressions: Not as good as last week, but still a pretty funny episode all around. The comedy just trailed off a little bit in the second half to make room for Ken to trip some Sakurano flags by getting her to admit that she doesn’t hate him. The art was a little bit more... |
| 7:38pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #02 — Service, Service, Service | | | | Gee, I wonder what their plan for this episode was. Impressions: I’m glad I decided to watch this first instead of Hekiyoh. Most of the episode was little but fanservice, even the somewhat incomprehensible retcon of showing Mikoto attacking Touma in an alley. At least it was more entertaining... |
| 3:15am | Autumn Premier Week 1 (and Then Some) Wrapup | | | | A much more peaceful time than usual. Well, everything that’s going to air has aired except for Fairy Tail (early Mondays), Thriller Restaurant (Tuesday), Kiddy Girl and Trapeze (Thursday), and Winter Sonata (Friday). Since Thriller’s a kid’s show, Trapeze is one of Toei’s crazy... |
| 7:19pm | Kämpfer #02 — Vägina Enforcement | | | | I bet that’s some kind of strange fetish. Impressions: Hopefully I’ll be able to stop saying this soon, but another episode that was much weaker than the premier. It certainly wasn’t helped by showing the cliffhanger from last week, and then immediately retconning the gunshot into... |
| 6:19pm | Darker Than Black2 #01 — Jimmy Olsen, Eat Your Heart Out | | | | Oh boy! A plucky little photographer! Season Premier Disclaimer: I like to check almost every new show out. The value of a show is in its execution, not its premise. That said, my tastes are mine and mine alone. Some things bother me, some things don’t. I will attempt to be as cogent as possible... |
| 5:58am | Asura Cryin’ #15 — Love and Koalas | | | | Poorly handled romance between tertiary characters. Impressions: This was a much weaker episode than last week, mainly because it was centered around two characters that we’ve been given little to no reason to actually care about, and was devoid of any decent action whatsoever. The art was... |
| 8:52pm | Whispered Words #01 — Lesbian Ladder Theory | | | | When Sally met Sally. Season Premier Disclaimer: I like to check almost every new show out. The value of a show is in its execution, not its premise. That said, my tastes are mine and mine alone. Some things bother me, some things don’t. I will attempt to be as cogent as possible as to my complaints... |
| 7:48pm | When the Seagulls Cry #15 — Last Arc Finish | | | | Len is so much cuter than Evatrice. Impressions: A fairly dull and needlessly confusing first half with the split Evas, but at least the second half was fun. Eva solved Beatrice’s riddle, got the gold, and her imaginary self became the new Beatrice, which meant about 6 straight minutes of Beatrice... |
| 8:31pm | 11eyes #01 — Persona 3 | | | | I think we’ve passed the homage territory and are into almost out and out theft. Season Premier Disclaimer: I like to check almost every new show out. The value of a show is in its execution, not its premise. That said, my tastes are mine and mine alone. Some things bother me, some things don’t.... |
| 7:18pm | Reaching You #01 — Artistic Demerits | | | | Ow, my eyes. Season Premier Disclaimer: I like to check almost every new show out. The value of a show is in its execution, not its premise. That said, my tastes are mine and mine alone. Some things bother me, some things don’t. I will attempt to be as cogent as possible as to my complaints... |
| 3:46pm | Kobato. #01 — Idiot Savant | | | | Oi, one of these. Season Premier Disclaimer: I like to check almost every new show out. The value of a show is in its execution, not its premise. That said, my tastes are mine and mine alone. Some things bother me, some things don’t. I will attempt to be as cogent as possible as to my complaints... |
| 8:40pm | Notes From The West — Public Enemies | | | | I’m just going to slip this in on a quiet day. Impressions: It’s easy to forget that the west is still making animated shows since the majority of the ones it makes today are sitcoms by Seth MacFarlane or Cartoon Network’s "We are SO random." Regardless, it’s hardly... |
