This was a very fun episode. Suzune and Chiho being Moe, and plenty of good faces and gags, although some admitedly are overused in anime.
When the SFC manager turns out to be the 4th General I'll be all like I TOLD YOU SO.
They still
have to reveal that the SFC manager is the 4th demon general. They've been practically teasing this since he appeared and the ending of this episode hinted heavily to it, or at least re-affirmed that he's indeed an important character assuming that was indeed him.

Looks like the character sheets.
Well, maybe we will get the first PV today.
(or not. The event is already over)

Don't know, it looks like anime.
Ahem,
Why does he have to be a demon general? While I think the show may flirt with the concept of demon's being fallen angels thus blurring the line between demons and angels I'm willing to bet that the SFC manager is neither a demon nor ever a part of Maou's forces, so, definitely not a demon general. In fact we've been given TONS of clues that he's not in fact a demon, from Emi stating that to cancel her powers the attacker can't be a demon to the more obvious color of his wings.
This is of course assuming that the SFC manager is the attacker, which if he isn't the show's pretty blatantly trolling with his look in his cloak in the latest episode and in the episode where kimono girl was introduced when Emi initially accused her of being the attacker but later noted that she has no signs of the paint nor smell and then the SFC guy's wearing a hat, shades and cologne. Of course, what the fuck kind of paintball stinks and shows after days, surely the attacker showered since then right? Right?

Must fully give in to the fanservice industry, it's the future.
Lots of sci-fi tv and movies gets that, misses it too for great comedic effect lol.

Oh yeah you are probably right,
he's probably an angel or something similar if anything. I had forgotten about that scene.
Maybe pointed out already (sorry), but Amazon Japan is now saying Kizumonogatari will hit screens in 2013.
Considering Newtype is hyping a Monogatari series-related announcement for its next issue, there might be something indeed, there.
(I know, not the first time we've been given a year for that one, but hey!)

Agreed.
Good.
I was fist pumping over here during that scene. :lol

I won't believe it until it's out in theaters. And maybe not even then!

Chu-Chu is still the star of the show.
How did the President throw hundreds of knives when he only had four in his hand?
Juri was a pretty good antagonist this episode. But she will soon believe in the power of miracles! If not, at least she can bully the Vice Principal of her pushover school.
Do I have to watch the recap episodes?

Had a J.C. Staff marathon last night; watched a few episodes of Revolutionary Girl Utena (finished the first arc) and a few episodes of Kill Me Baby.
Also, watched the first ep of the Giant Robo OVA

Nagisa runs into Fuji-P and decides to go and cheer him on at his football game. Needless to say, this results in 110% adorable Nagisa content. This episode gets my official Seal of Approval.
Other notable feature of this episode: it was the source of the infamous spinning-Nagisa GIF. lol.

I've come to the conclusion that the reason this show can get away with its snails-arse pacing is the theme song. The one that goes doo doo do do doo doo do dooooo. Shit's soothing and fist-pumping at the same time.

Naruto Shippuden Episode 316 The Reanimated Allied Forces
Should have been a canon episode as the whole part of how the reanimation jutsu was put into play by Lord Orochimaru, and then Kabuto going to the different graves to get the bodies and chat really help to enhance that aspect of this arc. Bonus Sasuke screentime was way pleasing.

You're in the middle of one of those "nose-dive" point in animation .the common accepted reason is the first movie taking ressources . it should get better in a few eps .
There will be a second dive after ep 27 ( or during ) ..brace yourself.
Bad Ways to Watch Utena - (least to most bad)
- Skimming recap episodes
- Watching Utena dubbed
- Skipping all the recap episodes
- Using your video player to force every episode into widescreen

Did Hix watch Utena or something?
That's exactly what happened. That's where the whole Hix thing comes from!

Hikari focus(?) episode. Normally I would consider this a bad thing, but in this case the spotlight was really stolen by Hikari's two classmates, who are adorable. They're also massive fangirls of Nagisa and Honoka, and do a surprisingly good impression of their beloved senpais.
So of course they're overjoyed when they run into the real Nagisa and Honoka, and randomly decide to stage an impromptu 3-on-3 basketball match against some older guys who were playing nearby. This allows Nagisa to show off her sporting skills (which is always fun) and Honoka to show off her supporting skills (geddit? sporting skills and supporting skills? Ahahahahaha brb I'll just go kill myself.)
There was probably a Zakenna fight in this episode somewhere too but honestly I didn't even notice. Oh, and Honoka was wearing a cute dress.

I recall him doing it with a bunch of shows, I couldn't remember if Utena was one of them.

Trust us on this one. It's only three episodes anyway.
Anime-Gaf hasn't led me astray yet, so I'll watch these recap episodes.
And I'm guessing that I am about to finish the first major arc?

So, first there's a joke to be made about how boring One Piece arcs can get because it takes 30 episodes to tell a story that can be told in 2 hours, but that's not fair. lol
I could have told cosmic that he wasn't going to like Aria though. It's not pander-moe enough like Yuyushiki to appeal to that part of brain, and it's also very much place focused first and character focused second, so it's also a travelogue show of what is essentially Venice. Also, there's the whole :firehawk thing, but I know that's not for everyone either. It's a very narrow focus anyway.
That said, I think Aria The Natural is where the show hits its stride anyway.
On the podcast they suggested that they were working on co-pros, but wouldn't say anything.
Also, I love how they're coy about releasing actual numbers about sales, mostly because they never want to play their hand to other people. I guess that means that Japanese companies don't pay for Video Scan numbers and have no actual idea what their licenses are worth in terms of raw numbers in America.

The recap episodes are basically the end of each arc.
I wouldn't tell you to watch them if they were just a summary of events you've already seen.
To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S ep 9
Holy shit! That is some nice sakuga action between two Level 5's and the 3 person combo hunting against Mikoto. Looks like next week will be GOAT with the two level 5's will go for a final clash. Koshimizu Ami does a excellent job of voicing Mugino being sadistic.

Just wait until you get to the infamous running gif.
Probably why Hikari is a dull character. She gets her spotlight stolen when she's the main focus, and she tries to steal from other people.
That reminds me, seen any familiar scenes in Max Heart?
