I dunno, fetishes are fetishes. They just move from the obviously sexual ones to the more psychological ones because of TV censorship, but I think it makes it more clever than going for the obvious sex jokes.Steroyd said:

They're all part of the same psyche, so it's all masturbation!Jexhius said:
Yeah, but historical slice of life is probably a harder sell than contemporary slice of life. I'm sure Taishou Baseball Girls was only made because of the pseudo-yuri moe.

I still only found about 10% of this episode to be entertaining, by which I mean funny, but never mind. The scenes that worked for me, such as the drawing scene, worked pretty damn well.
The production values are still through the roof, which may be the reason I'm still paying attention to this show. I'd like to single out the music as being one of the shows better features, but nearly every part of the show is made at a high standard.

I really appreciate that this show knows what it is and so it plays directly to these strengths at all times. In a weird way this makes it 'pure'.
Even if there's nothing from this season that will be making it's way in to my top anime list (so far) I really don't think that's a problem considering the depth and breadth of shows on offer. Marathon these works in quick succession certainly helps me appreciate how different they are from one another.
I'd prefer a season like this, with seven or eight enjoyable shows that are different from each other, to a season with one good show and twenty terrible ones.

Genre shifts aren't exactly super uncommon in anime/manga.
cosmicblizzard said:
The ones that exist are almost always shifts from X to battle manga/anime.
My favourite genre shift was I am a Hero's shift from a very realistic story about a guy trying to make it into the world of manga to a zombie apocalypse story. That was more of a Madoka style bait and switch as opposed to a midway genre shift though.

Throw people down well, then sit back and watch shit stir
yotsuya is awesome notice his voice by the guy who does captain buggy
Thanks to the French with them messing anime names it took me a while to recognize i watched a bit of this show before under the name Juliette je t'aime
the French love to fuck with anime names
jeanne et serge = Attacker You!
Olive et Tom = Captain Tsubasa
Nicky larson= City Hunter

True. Hell, the pic for the tvtropes page for Genre Shift is even Negima.
Still, there are a bunch that aren't battle ones.

Nanoha has one of the more jarring Genre Shifts I've seen (does it even count as a genre shift? Eh, regardless, it's some sort of shift). Fortunately it ended up for the better.

Vampire Princess Miyu TV 1
Well that was a lot better than the OVA. Miyu doesn't fuck around. Figured that dude would survive a bit longer since he seemed to be important, but I guess this is a series where anyone can die.

Things are definitely starting to look up. It's excellent to see
The pacing seems to be off the charts as well, it really looks like (although I can't know for certain) they're smiling down the experience from the manga quite a bit. There just seems to be less fluff.
Hanasaku Iroha
Well, I can accept a "misunderstanding" themed episode every now and again.

Dave, of Colony Drop fame, writers about Madoka, on Colony Drop! This is perhaps the most level-headed article that I've seen written following the shows finale, which isn't really surprising considering that CD are rumoured to actually read their articles for spelling mistakes before they post them! Obviously, some spoilers within, I guess - http://www.colonydrop.com/index.php/2011/04/30/2011-dark-magical-girl-cartoons-that-actually-came-out-really-good-puella-magi-madoka-magica?blog=1
