| 7:22pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #08 — Children’s Games | | | | How did Elis end up being the most likeable girl this week? Impressions: Really not a particularly good episode, and easily the worst so far in my opinion. Amazingly, the problem wasn’t with Elis, Lilicia’s younger sister sent to spy on Ken by Lilicia, but with every other girl. Elis... |
| 6:37pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #08 — Power Levels | | | | What a twist! Impressions: Another extremely dull episode where they spent about 75% of it wondering about power levels and Level Upper, followed by the TOTALLY UNFORESEEN reveal that it’s a song at the end. I never would have guessed that it had anything to do with the headphones that they... |
| 7:32pm | KIDDY GiRL-AND #06 — There’s No Sex in the Champagne Room | | | | But apparently there’s sex everywhere else. Impressions: So this episode This episode Hrm Yeah Where to begin Let’s see it was divided into two distinct halves. Part A was about Ascouer, Q, and Dia spying on their boss having sex in her office until they were caught, whereupon the lovebirds... |
| 6:41pm | Kämpfer #08 — “…Not Following You Here…” | | | | Thickest man alive. Impressions: This was the worst kind of episode. Nothing good enough to comment on and nothing bad enough to mock. The whole thing was just boring from start to finish. Shizuku tells Natsuru to go out on a date with her, and then spends the entire time forcing him to do ‘datey’... |
| 6:07am | Asura Cryin’ #21 — Otherworlds | | | | Yeah, even less interesting than expected. Impressions: A very boring episode, but I can forgive it. Most of the point it seemed to be making was "The world would be better if Aki was alive" outside of the black hole that is slowly eradicating the world. There was a nice little moment between... |
| 10:13pm | Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei OAD — Bwa!? | | | | I’m not even sure what the hell this is. Impressions: Wow! A 21 minute episode! It’s like a normal episode! That’s amazing, Shaft! You’ve overcome all odds and made an episode just as long as every other studio does every week. Congratu-bloody-lations. Whew. I better go lie... |
| 7:42pm | When the Seaguls Cry #21 — Broken Toys | | | | Good work, Rosa. Now burn it in front of her. Impressions: Another pretty boring Ange episode adding very little aside from Ange’s wildly fluctuating cup size, and those of the tit monsters bullying her as well. Oh yeah, and a very unwelcome sexual encounter for Sakutarou. Gee, I wonder if... |
| 6:17pm | 11eyes #07 — Groping Is Not the Answer | | | | But nice try, Yukiko. Impressions: Well, the entire time was spent in the red world, so that much was good, but Yuka’s angst was painful. It was even worse that they tried to contrast it against Yukiko’s past. "Your boyfriend doesn’t love you" is not an apt comparison... |
| 8:47pm | BouNce ♥ BaCk, TeCh=NoloGy | | | | Well, I’m not really a fan of either the new OP nor ED that started up about halfway through the terrestrial broadcast run (yes, yes, two weeks ago, I forgot about it), but more importantly, the OP’s all but a confirmation that it’ll be getting a continuation. Either that,... |
| 4:08am | Big Bang Beat 2 Announced | | | | OH HEY, GUYS. COMIKET 77 SEASON ALREADY!? In hindsight, I really should have made the rounds for the doujin news back when I saw the first announcement. Too late for that now, I guess! Anyway, Frontier Aja’s announced the sequel to Big Bang Beat, based on AliceSoft’s rather excellent SRPG... |
| 3:32am | Magical Battle Arena Complete Form | | | | Leaving aside the question of "What exactly does ‘Complete Form’ mean?" Looks like MBA’s getting another expansion for winter Comiket, adding StrikerS era Fate as well as a number of gameplay tweaks and modifications for netplay. Busy day for doujin game news. Although strangely,... |
| 1:52am | A Certain Railgun’s Panties | | | | http://www.werk-zwei.jp/railgu n/ Thanks, Werk. After Battle Moon Wars, I knew you had ‘great’ things in you. At least it’s an action game so won’t require a translation. I’m off the hook. Whew. Mikoto doesn’t even wear panties though what does she care? |
| 7:48pm | Hekiyoh’s Student Council #07 — The Breaking of Chizuru | | | | Mokyuu~~! Impressions: Let’s face it, Chizuru was tempting fate. Offering to let Ken check out her breasts, sleeping in the nude, kidnapping Sakurano during the night and now she’s turned into a sheep. Such is the way of the world. We can now definitively say that Chizuru has slept with... |
| 7:07pm | A Certain Scientific Railgun #07 — Subtlety | | | | HEY GUYS, LOOK AT THIS!! Impressions: Seriously. I’m not sure they could have been more obvious about the whole iPod/headphones thing unless they had a giant blinking sign pointing to it in every shot. HEY GUYS! THIS MIGHT BE IMPORTANT! LET’S SHOW A CLOSE-UP OF IT EVERY TWENTY SECONDS.... |
| 7:45pm | KIDDY GiRL-AND #05 — Strange Directions | | | | Be glad I didn’t go with "Making Seven Year Olds Scream." Impressions: Okay, so this episode didn’t really go in a strange direction, just the direction was strange. Ha HA! Wordplay Anyway, the horror homage segment in the abandoned GOTT building was pretty much exactly as you’d... |
