Sailor Moon 02
Poor Umino. His crush on her is so pure, so innocent and so hopeless. He is what 99% of boys must have felt like at his age, the girl you love has already had her heart taken by a guy, or in her case TWO GUYS, that harlot. I'm rooting for you little man but you're already dead.
The other love interest is the "good guy" to that loser bad guy from last episode. This guy is so kind to her, such a sweet heart and the romantic scene at the arcade is sweet. This guy is so nice though, must be a red herring. He will either end up dead or more than likely he's really just a bad guy messing with the poor girl.
Speaking of the really obnoxious guy I wish that shoe knocked him out. Usagi should have thrown at him like he was Dubya. Usagi's reaction faces during this scene were fantastic, this is true moe.
The battle against the Youma was the weakest part of the episode yet again. Tuxedo Mask is such a useless tool, I really hope that is literally not the ONLY thing he does in fights. It's utterly ridiculous.
Bastard 2
What's the only thing stronger than an 400 years old, all powerful fire wizard? A naked 400 years old, all-powerful fire wizard, of course. Schlong comes out, power level goes up by 200%, as does the lust in a room. Have you ever gotten off while thrown over someone's shoulder?

Reknoc said:Hmm, while I wouldn't say no to more Streets of Rage I dunno if it'd lend itself well to Ben-to since fights usually take place in a single area.
For me it's moreso the idea that instead of a 1 on 1 fighting game I'd want a 1 vs. many style game.
Anyhoo, yes, anime. Back to talking about anime. Um... damn it now I can't think of anything.

Sailor Moon 03
Oh man sick an episode involving the MidnightChannel Zero. Good stuff.
Well thats a new spiffy power Usagi has there. Too bad its kind of useless since she's too dumb to properly use it.
Jadeite's theme got even more funky. That track at the end of the episode is so good. There are no words to describe how awesome that was. Poor Usagi got utterly wrecked by the great Jadeite-sama. A guy with a track that awesome playing in the background deserved to do at least that much.
Her pouty face when Jadeite just no-selled all her attacks was great. So hnnnnnng.
But then that bum Tuxedo Mask had to ruin it all and doing it in his usual completely lame fashion. Jadeite backing off there is so stupid. All Tuxedo Mask did was THROW A ROSE and Jadeite runs away like a coward. Why? Literally makes no sense. Sailor Moon defeated 3 of his Youma in 3 episodes straight yet he had no problems deciding to go toe to toe with her. Guy flings a rose at him and its time to bail. What?
I'm not sure who I hate more at this point, Tuxedo Mask or the actual real life person. The actual guy was even more insufferable in this episode than the previous 2, being such a jerk to poor Usagi. No she was not talking to the telephone pole and no you are not funny.
Naru trying to read her love letter she wrote in front of the entire class? Usagi needs to get some better friends
A good episode but not as good as the first two.

Sailor Moon 04:
Yeah, Usagi is not chubby at all. This episode's premise is completely dumb and ridiculous at the same time. Her actual friend who is chubby complaining about her woes was pretty hilarious though. The other girls are vicious but chubby girl got her payback.
Umino is a total pervert. Truly living the life of a real teenage boy, having the hots for his teacher is one thing but to stalk her and take pictures of her? That's some level of devotion / criminal behavior.
The line by Naru about how nothing is cheaper than free followed by the he's so evil turn all the lights off in the room Jadeite's line about how nothing is more costly than something that is free was great.
Jadeite in his gym outfit is utterly fabulous. This is a guy the girls should truly go head over heels for, I can hardly contain myself. Yes girls just step into these chamber pods for 5 minutes or so. This is not suspicious at all, don't think twice about it! It will help you lose weight, jump in! Maybe it's just me but Jadeite might just happen to be a sexist.
Usagi is totally delusional when she's hungry. No wonder why she eats all the time! Motoki onii-san is a true player, he knows how to get down with the women and knows what he's looking for, even Luna is in awe of his game. A total contrast to Tuxedo Mask who manages to step up his douchebaggery jerk holier than though smugness even more this episode.
Usagi running into the trap even after Luna revealed the big secret. She really did study hard for that 30 on her test in the first episode. Again Jadeite inexplicably bails out on a fight where he could have just finished off Sailor Moon. Maybe he was just getting sick of Tuxedo Mask too. She really is that stupid too, Luna has to point everything out to her.
Still really like this show but am hoping they get around to introducing some of the other cast sooner rather than later.

Chihayafuru 01: The only way this would be more XTREEM is if they played karuta while on motorcycles.
The animation is gorgeous and the music is a joy to listen. The premise is heartwarming as fuck too. Why wasn't I watching this before?
Chihayafuru 02: So much shounen no haato. I hated when kids stole my glasses in school, so this hit me bad. :'(

Those are my top picks overall (In descending order), but I didn't watch everything.... and I never finished Usagi. I might consider adding Ben To to the list but still too early to know for sure.

Chihayafuru 03: Tears have been shed. Oh God this is too much for my heart.
Chihayafuru 04: Chihaya eating chocolate is so fucking adorable. The time-skip only made her more moé.

List time:
My list is divided into 4 sections
Shit I look forward to:
Ben-to
Shit that's watchable and I occasionally enjoy a moment or episode of and generally try and catch:
Shinryaku!? Ika Musume
Working'!!
Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai
Shit that I was able to finish a whole episode or two of but nevertheless dropped because it sucked:
C³
Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere
Persona 4 the Animation
Un-Go
Guilty Crown
Now the final tier is reserved for shows that were so bad I could not even make it through the entire first episode:
Fate/Zero
Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing
Normally I would have a fifth tier in the middle of stuff I watched and felt was neither good or bad but of everything I watched so far this season nothing landed there so I omitted it.

Sket Dance 31
That was alright; a good number of moments through the whole episode, though the first part was way funnier than the second. Also this is apparently part of that vague Sket Dance x Bakuman crossover? I guess I need to watch the latest Bakuman episode too?
Next week is just some of those silly alternate setting stories; hopefully we'll get another of the bigger arcs soon.

The Bakuman epiosde only had like a near two minute portion mentioning Sket Dance on the recent episode, simply,
Miho just voicing a character in the Sket Dance anime, and the Saiko Shujin Azuki and the other characters watching it
Ah yeah, I just watched it. So I guess the full joke of the crossover is thatDedication Through Light said:
Saori Hayami, who voices Miho in Bakuman, also voiced a bit part in this week's Sket Dance (which was in fact a role added just for the anime version), which was framed in-story in Bakuman as Miho voicing a bit part in the Sket Dance anime.
By the way, did anyone ever explain why they can't use the proper name of Jump in the anime version of Bakuman and have to call it Jack instead?
