was curious about the contents of the book, and was the one who broke the seal and unleashed the spider into the world.

besides the tits. A lot of the episode was just set up for the next episode, but I think it did its job pretty well. Can't wait for the next episode!
They like to reintroduce the main girls a lot on this show, but I just love hearing about the history of the guns. It's probably my favorite part of the show
I don't think that anyone would have actually expected a youkai to emerge from a sealed book, so I don't hold that against her.
And if the guy would have actually taken her advice to dispose of the spider, nothing else would have occurred! I can forgive her one moment of actual poor decision-making because she'd been way more reluctant than the guy to take care of the spider up to that point.

This week, the gang solved a mystery. Probably.
It was pretty okay.

Darker Than Black OVA Part 1
Homer: They will if you set up that the dog is evil. All you do is have to show him doing this. :shifts eyes left to right: The people will suspect the dog.
Bonus: PTSD Luffy.
Gibson: You want me to replace the villain with a dog? I mean nobody will know what's going on.

Man, I didn't realize how much I missed this show. Hei being Hei, Yin approaching moe waifu overload, and kickass music. I think it's to the creators' credit that after taking a year or so long break from the series, I was instantly brought back into the world of Darker Than Black by the above shot. Dat green/purple/black color scheme.
Bonus: PTSD Luffy.
It's a play on biology, the XX chromosome is female, the XY chromosome is male that's why they purposefully made the title for the episode MI-XY.

The OVAs are pretty much what everyone wanted S2 to be.
Instead we got . . . well.

Yin would make a pretty poor waifu. She pretty much is just a blow up doll that can walk and can recon.
I'd buy that.

It was pretty dull. Actually, all the mysteries have been very boring. The thing that sells this show is the interaction between the characters and the off-club ramifications of such interactions, something which this episode lacked.
I don't think that someone from the present day could be blamed for not believing in the existence of youkai!
It was fine. Those were more personal reactions than actual criticism; as a short self-contained story it worked and I'll probably go back and watch the other Young Animator Training Projects now.
I saw some shit on the Grand Line.

You got...you got something even better, right? ...right?

That's why Hei spends the whole episode giving her waifu lessons!

If there's anything ancient legends have taught me, it's that ignorance of the supernatural is no excuse.

This episode had it all, and I loved every minute of it. The gun fights are all done really well. And holy shit is Sako crazy. I knew she was a little off, but damn... And that ending cliffhanger where
. Goddamn. This is turning out to be one of my favorite anime yet.
Wow.

Hei was just too limited and boring as a main character, you see. We needed a character who could develop over the course of the show.

I didn't feel the need to mention that it was dull because it is always dull.

Hyouka 4
You know, with a few words changed here and there I could essentially post virtually the same review of Hyouka every week.
Mayaka gets sick of getting her ideas on the mystery slapped around by Satoshi and it was boring.
The end.
Look forward to future impressions!
Positive note: I liked the change of location, it wasn't the most dull episode and the mystery visuals are still quite welcome.
Roar.

He is indeed a sexy beast, but Ronaldo has the added advantage of being a flashy player, maybe Erika just doesn't appreciate what it takes to be the best goalkeeper in the world.

I don't really like that the duel puzzles are the same for each person. I mean I guess coming up with 5 different puzzles per episode (or however long a "match" would stretch) would be difficult, but still, it beats seeing the same one 5 times in a row.

Which is offset by the fact that he's an utter twat! Erika shouldn't set his sights on such a bad boy. Iker is a family man and someone you can depend on; Cristiano Ronaldo is a gigolo.He is indeed a sexy beast, but Ronaldo has the added advantage of being a flashy player, maybe Erika just doesn't appreciate what it takes to be the best goalkeeper in the world.
Also: one has won a World Cup and the other hasn't. Think about it.

Is this the new waifu thing? She needs to like the same soccer player as you do?
If you wanted to know what the Blue Exorcist stage play looks like in motion, the official site's got a 60 second PV movie up with super-short snippets from what I guess were the performances this weekend.
(You can also watch the PV straight from Nicovideo here.)

Immersion is in the little details, this is as true for anime as it is for games. MGX does a pretty good job of making the world surrounding Urabe and Tsubaki seem alive, something that's far too rare in anime.

Queen's Blade 3
Not as great as the first two episodes, but it wasn't bad. I think I prefer Tomoe to Leina. Their really wasn't much fighting in this episode beyond the oil wrestling, but the next episode looks like it'll make up for it.

If only it was so easy...
Now you know why I never recommended Gosick to anyone! But still voted for Victorique in Saimoe!
Hmm, the question basically is, does a horrible later part retroactively ruin everything before it in a series? If the answer is yes, then don't watch Gosick. If it's no, then watch the whole 15-17 or so-episode series. It's more good than bad, overall.
(I say 15-17 or so because the last arc before the end of the decent series, that ends with ep. 17, isn't that great. Not sure if it's worth bothering with or not, maybe?
More people should... it's every bit as cute and silly as it looks.
I need to watch this show at some point.
Indeed, do what you want, not what others tell you.
I'll watch ep. 6 soon, for sure!Saki 6
Loli-crying-smiling-flashback-scarf moe for Solune.
(Not just for that though, though yeah, she sure does scarf moe well.)
You're right, apparently whoever drew that has some issues drawing hands, or something.

Chet Rippo, fighting the big boob fight the way it's meant to be fought.
True, but maybe a hard drive format/dvd bonfire would be a good idea when they get a significant other.

If you say so...
I ended up watching some highlights of the original series and was (not) surprised to find that there was a Hisa x Mihoko shipping contingent out there. I guess she did say her eyes were pretty. lol

Contingent? If you look up Saki fanworks, Hisa/Mihoko absolutely DOMINATES it. I'll bet a majority of Saki doujins are Hisa/Mihoko...
... But wait, have you watched the original anime, or not?
Quite possibly a good idea, sure. Unless you trust them very much.

Darker Than Black OVA Part 2
Take note, anime: if you're going to have a one dimensional villain-of-the-episode with no discernible personality, this is the way to do it. (probably NSFW)
Maybe I'm just a big wuss, but I felt really bad for the teal Ying Yang dude. Even though they were cursed with being contractors, I bet the three of them managed to live a happy, satisfying life together until Hei and co. came in with their bullshit non-offer and murderous syndicate drama.
I probably should have rewatched at least the last couple episodes of the first season before watching this, because I have no idea what the hell the deal is with Yin's split personality. For some reason I had it in my head that the other half was Hei's sister, but then I was forced to reconsider that. Then again, this is Japan so it may very well still be her.
"We never had any intention of making a deal with you, old hag."
"You're starting to make me mad, Yin."

This is DtB, dude. Nothing makes sense.
It's funny because you think you'll find a coherent explanation of anything that happens from now on somewhere.
