Nonsensical speculation:
It's going to be a team effort to troll her. Jintan will eventually confirm the existence of Menma to the others, and Yukiatsu with the necessary goods for Tsuruko to become Honma Meiko is all in place. They are the Super Peace Busters, yet this won't be in the name of peace if they choose to do this.

Not really got the time any more to delve into a lot of anime, but Tiger & Bunny genuinely surprised me as someone interested in making the switch to marketing. It's a fun anime, but I'm amazed at how much leeway the brands featured have given to Sunrise to write the parts.
Also, Steins Gate is very interesting. It's torture for me not to read the video game story and spoil it for me, but I really like it.
Also, got my hands on the existing Bakemonogatari blu-rays. Amazing re-animation and it just looks so crisp ~

Seikai Ichi Hatsukoi 8 - So this has turned into a BL anthology and I'm still surprised at how shoujo this has been. They literally could have replaced all the protagonists with female characters and had the same result... and I know that's part of the illusion, but it's still funny to me. Certainly with that in mind, I have no idea if this is a good representation of queerness in Japan or not. Probably not, since it's all for the sake of women, sort of like Queer Eye for the Straight Guy way back when. :lol

Some bloodless carnage this episode. Wonder if it was like that in the manga. Probably not since there's been some noticeable censorship so far.
Seems like next week will be the first real human(oid) battle. Looks awesome.

has this series always been so emotionally wrought? Or is it the general direction of the anime? Cause if so... I dunno. It's kind of awesome. I just wasn't expecting it.
those two eps are of the better that I've seen this season. And I'm watching just about everything.

I love the character interaction in this show. And I don't know what people hate about Anaru and Menma both are fun characters.

Tennis thugs? I like how anime can turn any kind of group into delinquents. I'd like to see an IV league gang fight.

Bad guy pops up right before the girls can eat their cake and turn the cake into a monster.
The girls defeat the monster cake so the bad guy steals the cake.
Stealing sweets from a group of girls is really an evil act.
The premise of this movie seems really silly.

This show just keeps getting better and better. So much nonsense in this episode.
Futari wa Nervous! is one of the best anime parodies I've seen. Does there exist a show about 20-something married, pregnant magical "girls"? I want to see one now.

Back story for Mikuni+Mysu POV was a nice change of pace. Solid episode although it ended abruptly which was weird.
Denpa 7
I really like episodes of shows where you get the POV of another character as mentioned above in C and in this weeks Denpa with Maekawa. Lack of Meme was bad though.
Toriko 8
Awesome episode other than the lack of food, everything is completley over the top all of the time. Whatever is going on in the show it seems to involve hulking up for one reason or another.

GaoGaiGar 21: Must not make hammer time joke.
Shit.
Anyway, we're continuing the trend of 'introduce a new robot and make them the saviour of the episode' which has been the plot structure for quite some time. This doesn't get as repetitive as you might imagine because they try and vary up the encounters, even though structurally it's basically identical. This week: gravity control, which is massively overpowered!
Also, last week we saw that blue-haired kid at school again. They've been teasing him for about twenty episodes now and he's still only been in scenes lasting about five seconds. He's got "mysteriously powerful background character who will one day be revealed" written all over his face.

lol at Minato getting all bent out of shape over adding a man to his harem.
Interesting though that Kagari really is a bent gender man and not a woman that was pretending to be a man. All this time I was thinking "why not just let the dude wing you" when his reluctance was totally justified. Definitely not something you see in a harem show too often.
Looks like next ep will be a wham episode, what with every single relevant character meeting up in the same place and all.

[C] 7 - Wasn't really feeling this, having some backstory on the best character in the show was pretty sweet, but his story felt pretty typical of the genre, although it was by far the best part of the episode, as the stuff that followed up after it wasn't as good, and was somewhat creepy to boot! the very end was actually pretty interesting, but it ended so abruptly!
Speaking of which going from Mononoke to this was pretty jarring, what happened to you nakamura, you used to be awesome!

You know, the more I think about it, there's a big problem with this show. Yoga basically get everything handed to him without having to work for it. He gets into the financial district randomly. He has a really strong asset for some reason.
Not a crippling problem necessarily but it seems like it should be addressed.

And of course the magical girlfriend, since in real life he's just a friend-zoned loser.

Also, what makes sisters so fragile in anime? They're always getting kidnapped, abused, sold, imprisoned or struck down with some kind of incurable (or curable but expensive) ailment. Even it totally awesome shows like Cowboy Bebop.
[C] sure plays it pretty straight.Jexhius said:
Just look at the dead little sister page on TVTropes:
"Sometimes he'll get his own Morality Pet which reminds him of his Dead Little Sister, which may touch upon the theme of a Replacement Goldfish. If the little sister was also a Living Emotional Crutch, this "new crutch" may provide the needed emotional stability to become The Atoner. "
Although apparently his little sister is just comatose.

The same disease seems to afflict mothers a lot as well. Even Miyazaki did this one!

Probably my favorite episode of C so far. It gave us some, albeit cliched, background on Mikuni and dropped hints as to how these asset things work. Add to that seeing the world from Msyu's eyes and it was a very compelling episode.
What ARE the assets anyway? These things are almost never explained in other shows and C does a good job of turning the focus onto itself and asking these basic questions that most shows don't bother addressing.
Overall, I'm kinda excited for the next episode. I hope this series has a good payoff.

I'd totally watch a whole anime about Genesis.
Also, Magical Extortion is pretty much Dai Mahou Touge. I should rewatch that.

Oh, so you can have an episode where
no one is horrifically killed/trapped in statues. Well, apart from the Shinma, but that Shinma was being a total dick.
Miyu's friends were rather laughingly nonplussed by the whole doppelgänger situation. "There's probably a rational explanation for it." Whatever you say girl!
