| 12:52am | Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S - 06 | | | | Well I’ve been hoping for an episode that focuses on the Yugiri sisters and this episodes delivers exactly that. Given that I have never played the visual novels before I didn’t really know all that much about the Yugiri sisters so it was certainly a pleasure to see their past, and more... | | |
| 11:55pm | Polyphonica crimson S #12 — Naked Time | | | | That was totally unneeded. Impressions: I like how they replaced the OP with the last minute of the previous episode. Only had 30 seconds of extra material to show, Diomedea? I also liked the GIANT EVIL EYE, which I’m pretty sure they have on loan from the Kirby series. Everything went pretty... | | |
| 1:41am | Polyphonica crimson S #11 — The Nanoha Special | | | | When you just can’t take the time to clear away debris before shooting a giant beam through it. Impressions: An excellent episode, and I’d say easily the best one for this series yet. Entertaining the whole way through, which I’ll go ahead and note now is not the same as being good,... | | |
| 3:28am | Polyphonica crimson S #10 — Prelude | | | | A bit too adagio for my tastes. Impressions: Yawn. Second setup episode of the day and it didn’t even have random yaoi or beasty pairings to make fun of outside of the loli passed out on top of the giant wolf for the majority of the episode. Everybody gets prepped to go fight the Legion of... | | |
| 3:21pm | Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S - 05 | | | | Firstly, wow, Phoron can really pull through if he tries. I think this is the first time that I’ve ever seen him angry and determined. Usually we see him very passive and always doubtful, but I guess he’s the type to be more of a “man-up in the moment”. Although he still took... | | |
| 3:00am | Polyphonica crimson S #09 — Infinite Pianists | | | | How exactly can a piano be infinite anyway? Impressions: It’s really hard to take this show seriously when the bad guys are flying around in a giant glowing lightbulb wielding an Infinite Piano. God help us if they manage to also steal the Endless Drum Machine. As expected, not a terribly interesting... | | |
| 1:12pm | Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S - 04 | | | | Well we’re finally getting somewhere with the underlying story of this series as we have Leica who was posing as someone important, but is actually one to be weary of. Still it was rather obvious from the start which is rather disappointing as I wished they sort of did it in a non-obvious way.... | | |
| 8:19pm | Polyphonica crimson S #08 — Counterpoint | | | | Phoron, just stop talking, please. Impressions: A pretty good episode marred by only two things. First, the show’s lack of a budget continues to really make itself painfully evident. The episode was almost entirely action, and it rarely got any more complex than characters standing around shooting... | | |
| 11:33am | Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S - 03 | | | | So the first half of this episode covers Phoron being depressed about what Corti said to him in the last episode of how his commandias are boring. Still its quite a heavy thing to take given that Corti and Phoron are pretty close and if it weren’t for the Yugiri sisters and Rembart by his side,... | | |
| 10:35pm | Polyphonica crimson S #07 — Da Capo | | | | The musical term, you plebians, not the horrible show. Impressions: Well, not a particularly interesting episode until the last few minutes. We get an introduction to the generic evil caucus of villainy, about 10 minutes of Corti being preoccupied with the news of terrorism, and then the evil caucus... | | |
| 6:00pm | My Workspace | | | | So for Danny Choo’s Desk giveaway contest, I took some photos of my desk. I was thinking at the time I was processing these images that I had really been away from the blogging stuff for a while (yet again). Coursework, Labs and exams may be a part of that but that shouldn’t stop me from... | | |
| 8:52pm | Polyphonica crimson S #06 — Sister Act | | | | Where’d that chest come from? Impressions: Well, since I already knew about Prine’s whole half-spirit deal, which is what about 95% of this episode covered, but too much seemed pretty painfully shoved in. The fight pretty much came out of nowhere, Corti completely abandoned all her jealousy... | | |
| 1:00pm | Shinkyoku Soukai Polyphonica Crimson S - 02 | | | | One of the greatest things I love about Polyphonica is the relationship between Phoron and Corti. Phoron is the type of person who is too reserved about everything as well as someone who lacks confidence. Corti on the other hand is the complete opposite to Phoron where she speaks her mind regardless... | | |
| 11:04pm | Polyphonica crimson S #05 — Phoron’s Testicles Drop | | | | A month in, and it’s about time. Impressions: Phoron continues sucking this week for the first three quarters of the episode, even backing down from letting Corti fight a stuffed animal. Seriously, dude. It’s a fuzzy little rodent, the worst thing it’ll do is maybe turn into a statue.... | | |
| 7:16am | April Summary | | | | I think that this is the first time that this ever happened ever since I started including ratings in these summaries: none of the shows I’m watching has a rating of 9/10 or above. But that’s logical since the only awesome show that continued from the past month was Hajime no Ippo, and that... | | |
