Idolm@ster 17 - Sushio did not disappoint this week. There was some excellent and expressive character animation, and the direction and stuff were good to, plus any episode that revolves around makoto is impossible to be boring.
If you like that episode you'll probably like most of the good im@s episodes.:/

Trigger rules, GAINAX drools! I wish the rest of idlem@sters were like this.

With the exceptions of episodes 2 and 3, most of the series has been quite good.
Why is this fucking Rie song so catchy? Why?

Maken-Ki! 4 - This show exists to remind people that yes, it IS possible to make a harem show worse than your average harem show. This is that show, and it is truly terrible. The story is moronic, it is deeply sexist, the MC is one of the biggest idiots since Fate/Stay Night's (yes, expect more like ep. 3 this time; the details are different, but the sentiment is the same.), as I said last episode, the characters are all stupid, the humor is almost never funny (
) mad, the writing is bad, the episodes are incredibly generic, and more. Basically, it does pretty much everything wrong, and just about nothing right.
In addition, of course, the thing is flooded with fanservice. It's overdone, really... I mean, you can have an extremely fanservicey show that is also entertaining and fun to watch (and have a decent plot too) -- for instance, the various Aika animes, all of which were solid... or you can have something like this, where there's constant, stupid fanservice that just comes off as the desperate attempt to get attention and viewers that it is. It's pretty stupid.
So, the first part of this episode is basically a pointless series of fanservice scenes with "plot" bits in between servicing to come up with excuses for the next bit of fanservice. The girls are all so good at sports, but the guys are bad. We get it. Why is he still better than them anyway, then (I mean, in his super mode, not the normal him)? Oh right, because of sexism.
In the second part, he goes out on a not-a-date date with the tsun girl. She makes him hold her packages, he gets pushed into her changing room in a lingerie store, they get attacked by several people,
So yeah, the message of this show is that being a sexist jerk pays off and gets you girls, I guess? 
But anyway, as always this show is atrociously bad. I would not actively recommend it to anyone. Watch it now if you like suffering!
a one-second bit where the girl working at the maid cafe who gets angry at the MC because she doesn't want people to know he works there, and flips him off has he walks away, was probably the funniest thing in the episode

she seems for a few seconds to actually be a good fighter (as we know she is) until she makes a mistake and the MC unconciously goes into super mode and rescues her, and she is impressed by his macho glory and kisses him (on the mouth) in front of both of the girls at the end. Yeah. Ugh.
But anyway, as always this show is atrociously bad. I would not actively recommend it to anyone. Watch it now if you like suffering!

What should I watch from Fall season?
The main problem with loli depictions in anime is that they often have the proportions of an older girl. Look how arched her back is. Younger girls don't look like that yet. Its kind of ridiculous exaggeration and over-sexualizing.jump_button said:
What show is that anyway? I don't even recognize it or anything in it.

I'm okay with that outcOme, but c'mon! Kuroneko was the best chance the anti-Meguca faction had and she lost against the weakest Meguca.darkside31337 said:

No problem. There is no series called All My Friends Are Dead, it's real title is I Don't Have Many Friends. Not sure who came up with the fake title but it's a lot funnier.
Well conducted episode and with personality, if this is like a presentation of what TRIGGER is capable of, I certainly like what I see... of course, it will be the sum of its amazing key staff members, that has demonstrated what they can do by far in the past.
I'm skeptical of their future position, though. As example, there has been multimedia companies associations (akin to conglomerates) that were born with the premise of common but also restrictively channeled objectives. I don't know what to expect from them at this moment, or their dependency status or creative progress, so I'll remain cautious in assigning them a role at the moment.

Now, whenever I see that gambler, D'Arby, always comes to mind its parody on this episode of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure TAS:Jexhius said:

Too bad it won't get to that. Madoka is going to slaughter her division, and then come for Kyouko.Regulus Tera said:

Sure. It hasn't been particularly great, it's certainly not Code Geass, or even Eden of the East or sadly enough not even Ghost in the Shell but I've enjoyed the first 3 episodes thus far.
It hasn't lived up to expectations but at least it's not Un-Go.

no reason to watch Un-Go or Guilty Crown if you can watch a good classic anime.

Asking stupid questions again?
The second and third EDs are also very good. The second OP (I Say Yes by Ichiko) has also become one of my favorite anime OPs even though it has nothing to do with Rie.

MPD 16 spoiler question:

Masako's father looks like Kanba's father? We only saw the back of the guy's head during the train scene, but it seems to be the same general hairstyle and skin tone.
