| 11:37pm | Manageable Modern Magic #10 — Sad Mages In Rain | | | | I like how they just dropped everything concerning the crazy mage trying to revive an ancient evil and wandered off. Impressions: Totally unabashed time filler adding next to nothing while everybody goes running around looking for Misa. It got particularly bad when Koyomi badly explained to Kaho... |
| 8:35pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #11 — Colorful Boredom | | | | At least it had Rin. Impressions: Well, given the Bakemonogatari fiasco this week, I was expecting the worst here, but thankfully, it was more or less about the same as always which, granted, is still about three tiers lower than previous seasons, but at least it’s not in flames yet. It was... | | |
| 5:50am | Fight Ippatsu! Night On Bald Mountain!! | | | | Not only is it apparently getting a hot springs special set to Night on Bald Mountain, but it’s getting a new OP and ED for its regular broadcast run starting in October, and the singles finally got a release date in November. Now we just need that second season announced and we’ll have hit... |
| 4:58am | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan #12 — Miracles Appear Beside Reality | | | | Yeah yeah, corny. So sue me. Impressions: First off, they completely ruined the OP for this episode, and that makes me very very sad. It was the same OP as usual, but they added sound effects, like cheering when protagonists appeared, or bounces for the breast wobbles. They’re all obtrusively... | | |
| 8:08pm | When the Seagull Cry #11 — All You Can Eat | | | | Delicious, delicious buffet. Impressions: A rather fun episode all around, and for practically the first time, Maria’s crazy expressions were finally appropriate. There’s nothing like the severed head of your child rolling around and ranting at you that screams crazy expressions. Of course,... | | |
| 1:00pm | Another September, Another Birthday | | | | Don’t you even start with me, internet. Just don’t even start. Although I am a tad weirded out by what the comment count is as I go to sleep this evening (this is a scheduled post for likely before I’ll get up). It’s probably best not to ponder the deeper implications here.... |
| 10:37pm | GA Art Design Class #10 — Magnetic Personality | | | | Keep her away from hard drives. Impressions: Ah, GA. You are one of the few glorious little sparkling lights for this season that brightens up my week. Another pretty unfocused episode with the second half having practically nothing to do with the first. I had hoped they’d spend a lot more... | | |
| 6:35am | Tears to Tiara #23 — Recycled Bosses | | | | Sweet. Penultimate battle and it’s against an unnamed guy and a priest killed in episode 2! Impressions: When last we left our intrepid heroes, they were 1,000 years in the past in a field somewhere fighting orcs. So it makes perfect sense for most of this episode to take place inside the Tower... |
| 9:11pm | Princess Lover! #10 — Old Maid | | | | I wonder if Teppei tried to motorboat her thighs. Impressions: I’m afraid that I can’t even muster up the biting sarcasm this week. I suppose that means that it was better than last week’s episode, but it’s harder to do much with tepid mediocrity than stinking garbage. I just... | | |
| 8:40am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #10 — Budget! Budget! Budget! | | | | Man, remember when Shaft put effort into their shows? Impressions: If you remove the OP, the ED, the minute of story time at the start, the minute of letting the VAs draw Itoshiki, and the mailbag segment at the end of this episode consisting of about 6 frames, this episode comes to a grand total... | | |
| 6:50pm | Manageable Modern Magic #09 — Now We Must Kung-Fu Fight! | | | | Well, that was flimsy and half-assed. Impressions: Ugh. I can think of worse directed episodes, but not too many that constantly shoved a shrieking girl combating the terrible evil of a cell phone. Koyomi was a pox upon this episode. Every time they cut to her, it was her whining and moaning over... |
| 3:28am | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! #11 — Plug’s Panty Ploy | | | | There’s a sexual harassment suit to be made somewhere here. Impressions: Well, the first half of the episode was pretty silly, but I really did like the second half and Aya Hirano finally got some use of that irritating harpy shriek that she calls a voice by matching it up with what’s... | | |
| 8:50pm | When the Seagulls Cry #10 — Empty Eyes | | | | Empty brains. Impressions: A very slow episode that really didn’t introduce any new or interesting elements to well anything. No interesting metaworld arguments, only one new murder in the last 5 seconds, and all that really happened was George joining the servants in their segregation from... |
| 9:52pm | C76 Rosenkreuz Stilette -Freudenstachel- Demo | | | | I finally managed to get my greasy palms on the updated demo, but I really have little to say except to express a bit of relief that they actually are updating the spritework and boss stuff. There are only three stages plus the prologue in the trial, and unlike the C75 demo, they’re all completely... |
| 12:24am | GA Art Design Class #09 — Bad Hair Day | | | | Frizzy. Impressions: A pretty decent episode, but I wasn’t really feeling it this time. I think it’s because the characters weren’t really doing anything in particular for the entire episode. There wasn’t even the normally extremely loose connection between the various little... |
