Oh hey, they already got out of the monster of the week formula. Things are starting to get mildly interesting. But damn, Nao was really trying to kill them. That's gotta have consequences, especially since the white-haired kid was there.

Kaiji Season 2 Episode 01:
Started off a bit differently from the manga, but same result since Endoh is pissed!
Oh Kaiji, breaking down so easily with such a small nudge. You're better than that!

Has Kaiji's OP song been revealed? We didn't get to see it this episode due to the short recap.

I haven't watched any new shows in fuggin ages... unfortunately this has meant that my anime consumption has been seriously in decline and that makes me sad 
I just found out about Solty Rei so I'm about to start that tonight - EXCITE!
But... everything else from most seasons just sucks the big fat balltard.

Slam Dunk 03: Everything and anything happens in Japanese schools except actual studying.
Slam Dunk 04-05: How is this wanker still not in jail? Ayako > Haruko
Pokémon Best Wishes! 20: A non-tournament episode of Pokeymen that didn't suck? Very little in the way of reused animation and the Sandile's interactions with Ash were entertaining.
Duckletts are jerks. Oshawott is still stealing every scene he's in. They should make a show about him.

Steins Gate:
Eh... I'm going to assume that all the disjointed flow and weird cuts and shit is meant to mirror Okabe's confusion regarding the time-travel bizness. Will watch more, though. The soft fuzzy static-noise that's layered throughout the whole episode is annoying.
Miyano sure sounds like Lulu in this role. All the hot sex they had while doing Star Driver must have rubbed off on him. Okabe kinda carries the show.

Ohana is ridiculously moe.

Worst of the season? That's unlikely, that'd mean it'd actually have to be worse than Sengoku Otome... haven't watched that show (yet) though. Not sure if I'm interested.Lafiel said:Steins;gate 1 - Eh, probably the worst show of the season. (so far) the setting and story seem interesting enough, but i found the direction throughout to be awkward, and it failed to engage me in any meaningful way, i will be keeping a eye out on how the rest of the series goes, but I'm not exactly sure if i will watch a another episode.
Sorry infi-kun.;_;
On that note, Sengoku Otome 01 is horrible. It's apparently based off of a pachinko franchise, like Rio Rainbow Gate, so expectations should be very low, and that's what it is. It was so bad, I just couldn't force myself to watch the whole episode. It's basically another "person from the modern world gets pulled into the past/an alternate world of fantasy", with gender-swapped versions of the characters. You know, like other things in the genre, except awful. The main character's a not too smart girl who acts (in ep. 1) like one of the stupider characters in a group-of-girls comedy series. She's somewhat annoying at times. She gets pulled into the Sengoku era through a portal in a shrine she was visiting, except in this Sengoku era all the leaders are gender-swapped, like Koihime Musou (except not as good as even the worst season of that show, and with a person from modern times, which there wasn't in the Koihime Musou anime.), etc.
On that note, Oda Nobunaga? But Nobunaga is usually evil in anime, Japanese videogames, etc... it's funny, the winner (of the wars of the Sengoku) is considered a villain, but he is. I wonder if this one will end up that way too, opposite gender or not. Wouldn't surprise me. But overall, based on the part of the episode I watched, annoying main character, not too good plot, etc, etc... it was pretty bad. But considering what it's based on that shouldn't be surprising. Not sure if I'll go back and try to finish the episode.
Oh, the English title apparently is "Battle Girls: Time Paradox" but changing "Sengoku" to "Battle", while maybe linguistically accurate, loses the specific reference that it's referring to, the decades of warfare in the 16th century called Sengoku, or "the era of the country at war" I believe. The reference should be left in, I think.
Dog Days - Basically the same thing as the above (earth person taken into a fantasy world), but with a guy main character, which means I imagine he'll have a harem soon enough. All of the people in this fantasy world are animal-people, so the main goodguys are dog people, the villains (in this episode) lion/cat people. That's just wrong, cats are good and dogs are evil...
The show is generically bad as expected... that is, until we see the nature of the "combat" in this world. That was amusing, I admit. They don't kill anyone, they fight without actually hurting people and turn into a chibi animal form when "hurt". There's an announcer too, and points depending on how far the attackers can get into the defender's territory... but apparently this game does have real consequences, for you lose your castle if you lose. Um, maybe. Maybe not, and it's just the psychological damage of losing a lot that they're worried about. I'm not entirely sure really.
Anyway, it's definitely bad, but at least it's a little bit amusing.

"...and I wouldn't have gotten away with it too if it weren't for you meddling kids and your stupid festival!"
Really? They spent five episodes on this arc only to end it like that? Really? And why would they even try to do something like this in a city in a first place? It's been years since I took a science class, but I was kinda under the impression that you can't see the stars well in the first place. I... just... agh! Well, the scene with the plane was kinda amusing at least. I never thought I'd be saying something like this, but I actually prefer the harem elements in this show--at least you're not supposed to take that seriously.
And looks like we have more magic shenanigans with Mr. Punch and Hungry Loli in Italy! Oh boy, I can't wait to see what well thought out ending this one will have!
