Our first two contestants to enter Saimoe ’09’s Sweet Sixteen. But wait, Nagi has been eliminated?! Well there goes my primary pick to go all the way. At least she fought a good fight throughout these last matches. Now where is my Kannagi season 2 Next up, it’s...

But I'm not sure the quality -- or at least the appeal to my taste -- will be that high. I don't see any shows I expect to be as good as the great shows of this past summer season, such as Aoi Hana and Bakemonogatari. But...

I know this was a relatively serious episode but I couldn’t resist the sexual innuendos. Oh god, maybe I’m starting to turn in to Shin. God help us all. Anyways, this is possibly the most serious arc of the show so far, since a poor helpless girl almost got cursed to death...

Saki and HnG continue to be as dominant as it were in the beginning of the tournament. Congrats to Yuuki for making it this far. Sad we have to let go of Kana after such a shocking upset in Round 1. Still, HnG fans must be very pleased with the performance of their nominees...
