Marimite > Yamato. At least I knew what I was getting into with Marimite.
The DVD release depends on how popular it got. More popular = later DVD release. This is why we're not getting Kokuriko until at least mid next year since its still charting at the box office.
I'm hoping for a Spring release for Usagi Drop. I need my cuteness in BluRay.

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Episode 2 Plot Summary Draft
We learn more about Tori's confession in the previous episode.
And speaking of Horizon, while the shop owner speaks to Masazumi, she tells her to go to The Path of Remorse if she's looking to understand others better. This is also the place where Horizon's gravestone is as Kimi tells us in Episode 1 when their father, Tori and Kimi's, builds a gravestone for. This suggestion was spurred by the conversation about Tori, and it seems Masazumi and Tori are familiar with one another and have some kind of relationship.
But before I talk about Masazumi, did they clarify or tell us anything new related to the plot? Yes, as we can see inside the classroom.
We learn more about Tori's confession in the previous episode.
It appears Tori isn't make a confession to the departed girl, Horizon, at her gravestone but to a person who resembles her apparently, who is also the girl seen singing at Horizon's grave in the last episode. This girl is actually a doll (or robot [?]) working at some cafe since roughly a year ago, and the shop owner of this place is very familiar of Tori because he previously visited there often until 10 years ago. 10 years ago was also when Horizon died. It appears ever since the shop owner found this doll and had it working at the shop that Tori has returned to visiting again to see this Horizon-lookalike as we can all assume from what she tells us.

They remind us the Earth consisted of two places: the Divine States and the Harmonic Divine States - which is located in another dimension separated from the Earth. However, the Far East people as speculated lived in the Divine States while the other people from the other countries resided in the Harmonic Divine States. During that time, the Divine States was fighting amongst themselves and divided on the battle for the throne, and the Harmonic Divine States fell onto Earth. This is hard to understand, but apparently, in 1412, half of the Harmonic Divine States was destroyed and the other half of it survives and remains as fragments of the Harmonic Divine States still around. The inhabitants of the Harmonic Divine States all arrived in the Divine States simultaneously, blamed them for this happening, and a war started.
Now here's what's really interesting: the people from the fallen Harmonic Divine States were the ones from the heavens who wish to return to their former prosperity, so they wish to restore the Harmonic Divine States by reproducing the history from people of the past. They were also the ones who wrote or created the book Testament.
So what does this exactly mean? There's so much damn contradiction that I'll have to watch this again.

Had to look up the director after that first episode, and of course, it's a SHAFT guy. This is an absolute pleasure to watch and the second episode is definitely interesting enough, just a question now of how coherent it'll be (second episode was a bit worrying in that regard). Should tide me over until the new Bakemonogatari at least.

Kimi to Boku 2
I gave this another chance after that incredibly boring first episode but I don't think I can keep watching this. Boring show, with boring characters and now they introduce a tsundere and she's not even the good kind. FFS what kind of a man is embarrassed of letting a childhood friend see that they have some idol magazines. My hopes for a brotastic show have been dashed and I am utterly disappointed, dropped.

after Mirai Nikki, Penguindrum is like a shooting star of hope in the darkness of space-time.

Its not like they ever got a sequel so finishing it up like that was a kick in the nuts to people who got invested in the show.

Wait, Bunny Drop or Yamato? Yamato, I say maybe. Bunny Drop I'm not so sure. Its run is actually over now so its not like it was a big hit.

If you watch Mirai Nikki then, please, for Minene and not for Yuno.

Just because she is one of the reasons to watch it doesn't make her the only one! I take them both for entertainment purposes.

It must make the original author happy to see that at least a few people feel compelled to waste their time trying to sort out his mess.EmmanuelMunoz said:

This is Ikkitousen in a supermarket. Interesting? Guess I'll watch a few more episodes.

I'm just amazed that people found Horizon interesting enough to devote time to working it out. The first episode couldn't even hold my interest to pay enough attention to realise there WAS anything to work out - I suppose it was an effective way to introduce an enormous cast of characters but it doesn't exactly lend itself to endearing a viewer to care about any of them beyond their surface quirks (maybe that's the point?). And the lead character doesn't seem interesting, just irritating - oh look, a hyper-competent pervert, how droll.
So far I've only found Chihayafuru interesting this season. My three most anticipated shows - Un-Go, Last Exile 2 and Guilty Crown - have yet to premiere, so I'm not worried. Pingdrum is more than enough goodness for any year.
