I don't love her, but she's probably the most tolerable Shana clone I've ever seen.

Gundam Age 32
Pretty weak episode. The spy was as obvious last episode and with only really being around for an episode, there was no time to even form any sort of emotional attachment to them. Nice for the fights to be on the Earth...but I think fighting in space, ie fighting to defend Big Ring a long time ago, shows the true glory of Gundams better.

If watch a preview for any show you're just going to hurt yourself!
Sengoku Collection 1
This is pretty cool. I really loved the colouring and the style they picked for the backgrounds. It doesn't mesh that well with the character designs but I just love looking at them.
I hope Oda will go back

I hope Oda will go back
and visit the guy from this episode again. He seems like a cool guy. Well next episode preview was about a different character so I'm guessing Oda won't appear for again for couple of episodes?.
The first paragraph of your post was ok, but the second blew my mind.

I wonder if you'll still be saying that by episode 7

[Mysterious Girlfriend X] - 7
I am certain that this isn't the shows intention, but all the last couple of episodes do is demonstrate that Oka is a for more desirable girlfriend than Urabe. Oh, and that Oka and Urabe are more interesting as a couple than any of the other couples in the show.

You hated the guy?
Dunno we will see. Most impressions here made it out to be some extremely boring anime but the first episode wasn't that different from few of the anime I'm currently watching in terms of pacing. I guess having extremely low expectations made it watchable.
True, Oka is much better and more reasonable. Urabe is just too weird and I'm not talking about the drool thing.

As I said in my impressions, Ueno is the true winner here.
And, yes, Oka and Urabe make for the best OTP of the show.

WHY
THIS IS SOMEHOW DUCKROLL'S FAULT FOR ENCOURAGING HIM TO WATCH UN-GO IN ONE SITTING. YOU GUYS BROKE HIM.
It genre-shifts a lot, and to a fairly extreme degree. Some episodes are boring. Some episodes, however, are completely bonkers. It's hard to tell which you're going to be getting before you go into it.
Ieyasu would probably kill you, had we not established earlier that such a thing is unlikely to be possible.

There we go! I found the method of making the show watchable!

But I have low expectations of every episode and that doesn't help at all.
Because it's suppose to be "saved" for summer time only
Or some other Urabe yip-yap.
Low expectations are still expectations. You'll never survive if you try to watch.

A handful of shows do previews really well, for example Penguin Drum always had that neat animated sequence with the penguins that hinted at where the next episode might go without giving anything away. Unfortunately few shows bother going to that much effort.

Would you consider Fate/Zero as one of these few?
Un-Go only made me stronger.
Oh, it genre shifts? I thought it just changes characters while still using the "characters from the past are amazed by the future" thing.
You must go even lower.But I have low expectations of every episode and that doesn't help at all.
I skipped all of them and kinda regretted it near the end when I realized that these previews are pretty well done.

Urabe has hundreds of rules, I don't find her reluctance surprising at all.

Yeah, it's pretty much like Nobunaga is the only one amazed about being in the future really. Everyone else just adapts and it becomes watch cute? girls do cute? things.

Well, it doesn't go to the (admittedly extreme) lengths of animation a whole new sequence just for the preview, but it is fairly restrained in what it tells you about next week.
And yet since isn't reluctant to show the audience her goods. Someone should tell Tsubaki that she is cheating on him with us.

You should be careful, this line of thinking can come from people who are about to fall down a rabbit hole.

These people talk a lot, more than seems natural for a professional baseball game, but it is that trash talk and psychological manipulation that makes it exciting to watch.

Finished Ayako on the way home from Austin. That—was a surprising ending.
I honestly don't have any idea why this hasn't been adapted into an OVA or film of some kind. It's better than MW, it's a culturally-relevant story of its own, and it's some of the best story-telling and usage of the medium I've seen so far. Stuff like this really makes me want to major in film and other media arts, just in the off-chance that I could get some adaptation of this approved and budgeted correctly. Everything in the story comes together quite nicely—and, outside of one gag a third of the way through, it's very serious stuff.
I honestly thought that the story would end the way it started, with Jiro finally coming face-to-face with the Major to wrap his goose chase for good. Instead, though, all the Tenge members, their doctor, and Geta Jr. but Ma get trapped in the coal storage cave being used to hide and heal a wounded Jiro, only for them to get trapped and, save for Ayako, die from various reasons. Ayako, of course, runs off carefree and all.

So this episode is about Tokugawa Ieyasu
The idol business was solid and better than the other crap idol related anime. I don't like how

Ieyasu became top idol way too fast. I felt sorry for Rosary. Oh and Oda is kinda od an asshole. If she takes your secret treasure, then you can't go back? Why can't they like all travel back together?
Looking back on it, it seems this week was full of skirts that were obeying different laws of gravity.
Maybe her thighs were sticky
sticky moe?

It's almost like they are afraid to show a little girl's panties. Clearly they think too low of their audience.
*uses brain bleach*
Some form of standards isn't a bad thing in this circumstance.
Had that been Rea I'm sure this would have been inexcusable.

the japanese version of Snoopy looks pretty bad ass. I'm sure he reads more than a word of War and Peach every day.

Saki A 7
Probably because of the Avengers movie, but I can't stop thinking about how the Saki franchise is basically setting up for a massive final project that gives us an ultimate showdown between four teams that people are at least invested in in some way. The cameos popping up in this essentially amount to Nick Fury showing up at the end of Iron Man 1. It's kind of amazing.
I just wonder if there's an end game to all of this, because of the Saki OG manga is so far behind, they're either going to have to wait another two years to adapt the other side of the story or they're just going to have to go it alone.
Of course, I'm sure in reality no one on the anime side has thought about a grander plan and that this show is probably a one-off to promote the manga, but it would be hilarious if all of this stuff set up a Saki movie in 2016 or whenever.
