| 9:47pm | Tears to Tiara #22 — The Sword in the Stone | | | | Oh boy! More flashbacks! Impressions: Ugh. Of the last 3 episodes/70 minutes of the show, about 10 minutes have taken place in the present era, which leaves around an hour of flashbacks. There’s a severe issue with your pacing if you need to take an hour of timeouts just to explain why what’s... | | |
| 8:28pm | Princess Lover! #09 — Masterful | | | | There’s really no other word for it. Impressions: I’m not sure what they did a better job with, the repetitive music, haphazardly mixing presentation styles, the lack of production errors, or the surprise twist at the end. We’ll start with the best and most surprising part. GMW... | | |
| 2:48am | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #09 — Emergency Golf | | | | See if you can count the number of Negima! posters in the background of this episode. Impressions: Part 1 was centered on everyday emergencies, like someone declaring it’s their birthday and not having a present for them. Then they accidentally killed Itoshiki and Chiri’s murderous rampage... | | |
| 8:03pm | Comiket 76 Wrapup and Parking Lot | | | | As far as the games from this one went, I’m pretty disappointed. The two new Touhou editions were really just about the only things that I found noteworthy enough to even mention. I still haven’t been able to try Alternative Sphere yet, but nothing else has so much as held my attention... | | |
| 7:36pm | Manageable Modern Magic #08 — Recycled Code | | | | No, Misa, I don’t think the airplane toilet holds the answers this time. Impressions: Well, I guess I should be happy that they do seem to be putting together an antagonist and a final arc for the show, but this episode was handled rather unenthusiastically to say the least. It was pretty much... |
| 4:50am | Magical Girl Sweetie Milly #10 — Merry Evil Christmas! | | | | It seems like just last week that we were celebrating a Happy Evil Halloween. Okay, so I’ve been distracted from MK2 by finding brownie mix which I was then compelled to make, and then I had to go buy ice cream because well let’s say it was my own personal "If you give a mouse a... |
| 11:33pm | When the Seagulls Cry #09 — Hands! Glorious Hands! | | | | Someone at Deen likes hands. Impressions: Aside from the delicious delicious handservice (that sounds even worse written than it does in my mind), a very talky episode that doesn’t actually cover a whole ton of ground but starts to cover a rather lot of the mysteries that are going to plague... | | |
| 12:55am | GA Art Design Class #08 — Magical Witch Nodamiki | | | | Don’t mess with her tone. Impressions: As much as I like this show, this episode had some production issues. The first two minutes after the OP were all but unanimated and in the case of the "what’s the defining feature of each other" joke, ripped wholesale from the source with... |
| 12:53am | Tears to Tiara #21 — White Out | | | | Way to take one for the team. Impressions: And again, a character dies who has had about 15 total minutes of screen time. I didn’t even really care about him when he died in the game either for that matter, although that could just be because he’s about as worthless as Llyr and Octavia... |
| 9:18pm | Princess Lover! #08 — Maid Gear Solid | | | | What’s the matter, Snake? Can’t fit into your jumpsuit? Impressions: They’re really continuing to struggle to find what tone they want to present this with, and that made this episode nowhere near as entertaining as it really should have been. Teppei and Sylvia didn’t even... | | |
| 5:55pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei #08 — “I AM YOUR FATHER” | | | | Now there’s a lasting image. I’m not late. I’m 2 hours early for the rerun. Impressions: Gee, have I noted Shaft’s massive reuse of footage and cheap techniques this season? Not exactly the strongest episode of the season. We pick up right where we left off last episode,... | | |
| 10:30pm | Manageable Modern Magic #07 — Kamehameyawn | | | | Turtle power, go! Impressions: Meh. Meh. A filler episode through and through. The Scooby Squad looks for cats. Then plays dress-up. Then looks for more cats. Then everything that happened is reduced to Katamari’s scratching post and thus we’re right back where we started. At least Koyomi... |
| 8:30pm | Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Rei #05 — Daybreak | | | | HAUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu~! Impressions: It was worth suffering through the last three episodes of godawful art, nonexistent animation, and pure wankery just for this. Hell, why didn’t they just make this the entire bloody Rei OVA? Between the magic pants and Daybreak, Deen’s shown themselves... | | |
| 5:33am | Fight Ippatsu! Juuden-chan!! #09 — MIRACLE SILICONE | | | | Selica powers up! Impressions: Well, after the buildup of the Power Outage girls (or whatever you want to call them) being menacing for the last couple episodes, the ending to this episode was pretty irritating. Neither of them were particularly interesting either. I guess Reika had a couple moments... | | |
| 11:51pm | When the Seagulls Cry #08 — Happy Halloween! | | | | Now we’re cooking with gas. Impressions: Ah, we’re finally to the bread and butter of the show; debates over the closed door mysteries, magical demonic girls, and people stuffed full of candy killed by a censorship blur through the stomach. There’s so much to talk about this week... | | |
