The second episode of Railgun was pretty bad. There's a certain point in which all the lesbo jokes get old.
I agree, it was kinda disgusting actually, but I think they're not related by blood. At least I hope so. None of shocker's photos seemed to have her in them and they were celebrating their becoming room mates which would be silly if they grew up as sisters.
Railgun is going to piss me off if something doesn't start happening. Perhaps I'm not being fair but I think the concept is way too good to use it as a backdrop for lesbian incest hijinks and making new friends. Much as I'd be disappointed if there's no life on other planets, we never develop FTL and they're only there to look at I'd be disappointed if there's no overall grand evil scheme in a show with people who have magic and ESP.
In fact one of the things that really pisses me off about anime in general is the damned nudity. They're almost always children, so how come even a show that isn't about sex has to throw that shit in there, even if it's just the OP? Like Natsu no Arashi, it's not highbrow but it's not some lesbo porn jaunt either, so why the fuck does she have to be bathing in the OP? Not that I'm completely opposed to nudity even if it involved children but fuck, don't make it delve into perverted shit. Handle it like Kurenai where they just bathe, like normal people do when they bathe. I don't go around grabbing cocks or ass if I'm in a group bath and I really don't believe teenage girls go around grabbing each others breasts in the shower. It's like it's all drawn by males and they're trying to insert this behavior into the next generation of women.
And episode 2 of Sacred Blacksmith in my opinion was worse than the first. I guess even good studios have to make a turd every once in a while to pay the bills.
Episode 2 of Kampfer was worse than the first, although for having a male as a female character they've done a good job not devolving into him molesting himself.
Episode 2 of Nyan Koi was again not funny.
I watched the first episode of Darker than Black and was pretty unimpressed. Not funny, the action pretty much happens off screen and not intriguing. I hope I'm wrong about it's tone but I'll be pretty pissed if all combat ends with them cutting to blood on the floor and a slumped body.
Letter Bee looks like it's just starting, seems the first 2 episodes were just to set the scene as it looks like it's jumping forward a few years. Could have probably done without these first 2 episodes then as if they just introduced him as a friend we'd take the show's word for it, not like they show brothers and sisters popping out of their mothers so we buy a characters relationship so we didn't really need this either.
This really is turning into a crappy season.
So far for me, Natsu No Arashi is the only thing I know is good, and the student council show is the only new show that I know won't be considered a timeless classic but is at least entertaining to watch. Railgun can be good if they actually do something besides using their powers to see each other naked and exact revenge for being seen naked or getting free vending machine food.
