This isn't really surprising to me if you consider DokiDoki's focus and the ratings of the last show, Smile. Smile's lowest rating phases came right with, and after, serious story episodes, with the comedic ones generally doing better. Dokidoki is more story focused, even if still episodic, so, lower ratings aren't surprising.
Why is his name spelled "Briman" in Japanese? o_o
I think that was supposed to be a ヤ, not a マ, not a so it would be Buraiyan, I think

The Unlimited Hyoubu Kyosuke 9
Ending: Song was fine, it actually fit very well with how the episode ended.
And the army betrays Andy just about as expected.
The ship is a loss caused, no matter how much Hyoubu desperately tried to protect it. Him pulling that sword move was kinda cool though not really effective unlike blowing everything up like in the past effortlessly. The director is an asshole after what he did to Yugiri; Andy or Hyoubu better pay him back good when either one of them see him again.

Needless? How do you suppose he was going to take out those pirates in the salvage vessel? It's not like he killed every pirate. Had he done that this episode wouldn't have happened. There were clearly survivors that told the pirate queen what had happened. The point of the hypocrisy is that the Gargantians have no actual problem with fighting and killing pirates they were just mad at Ledo for doing that which is just stupid because had he dealt with them any other way many more people would have died in needlessly drawn out combat.

It's actually ブライアン/Buraian.
They just drew the ア weird.

Ah, I get ya. Just very poorly painted then. ;P
It's actually ブライアン/Buraian.
Ah. It's just the way it's drawn with the bottom stroke going right instead of left and connected to the left makes it look like マ

Doki Doki Precure 11
I'm a little late on this one. It's a shame since this episode was quite good with almost no problems in term of pacing , footage or plot.
Smile precure .. the girl is the school teacher for the 5 heroines.

More obvious things happens like the bad guys being a little more direct in their plans , like new powers and a big confirmation ( if needed ) that Ai is the walking cheat mode of this season ..i wonder how long will the bad guys take to notice and try to take care of that ... Hopefully not long given by their past record since the old guy seems more cunning and intelligent than the rest.
Maybe but not every minute of the day like you.

Looks like it's written Buraimaso :lol

Knowing anime, his name is supposed to be Briman and that they just misspelled it when they translated it into English.

About the faulty equipment, I would bet actual money it was that blonde guy who wanted to be a royal guard. It's pretty obvious he wanted to get rid of Eren to get the girl. I don't think Eren lacks talent either, it's clear by how easy he balanced after he got his gear fixed that he could have done it from the start. He even managed to do it with dodgy gear.
Same thing happened with Suite and for the same reasons. Barring a huge overhaul or completely shelving the franchise in favor of Sailor Moon, I guess we can probably expect a Heartcatch/Smile-like series next year. Hopefully Toei learned their lesson this time (lol as if)
I figured as such with the eye designs. Smile is such a pleasing show to look at, except for Akanbe.
Same here. I hate typing on mobile but I have to do it often. Thats one reason why I don't respond to more than one page at a time. It doesnt save the multi-quote selections past one page for osme reason so I get a blank screen when I try to reply. Its infuriating.
First world problems.
Grrr... wish I had the extra money laying around for some anime hauls. I need a job first, not for lack of trying.
Also, I need to get back to watching YuruYuri. Enjoyed the first 5 episodes, then forgot to watch it for a couple months. Think I'm gonna start that one over...

The problem with what you are trying to postulate here is that we are dealing with pirates, not races.
YuruYuri should have gotten licensed. Crime of the century.
Guys, Regina looks conspicuously Anglo-Saxon and even has a gaijin name but knows about the Precure and speaks perfect Japanese. What if Dokidoki takes place in the future of the Smile universe and she's Brian and Akane's daughter who was possessed by Nao's selifishness after getting NTR'd?!?

I hope thats the case, would make me feel much better about things.
Dude, look at the number of people he killed (everyone in red):
He only missed that ONE guy (it's the SAME guy in ep3, dripping wet because he swam back LOL) because he fell off the ship before he got laser tagged:
Conclusion: Theonik is a sicko who advocates mass murder.
It's supposed to be Brian because he's British, can't you tell with the blonde hair and blue eyes?
Or is that American... meh same difference.

Agreed.!!
i bet they can't license it because they can't see the main heroine !

NTR ? Why ?
Where is the "please don't sexualise precures" pic ?

It was necessary, if he just wanted to kill the pirates he could have gotten every single one of them. (like he got the ones in the friendly boat), do you propose there was a better way to resolve that situation that wouldn't involve heavy casualties on his side?
Brian breaks up Nao and Akane's relationship. Nao becomes embittered. Nothing overtly sexual here; just talking relationships!

MJP 2
Boring episode, the sponsorship jokes fell flat and it's hard to get behind the MJPs when they have almost no emotion in every single scene.

If Kiniro Mosaic becomes a hit, that's the next thing they'll do.
Also isn't Negima the magical version of that anyway.

Who cares, they all look the same.
He wanted to kill the pirates and he DID get every single one of them. The ONLY guy who survived is a guy who fell into the sea before he got zapped, because the ship was capsizing due to other people on the ship being zapped. There are over 30 pirates. I think there are about 22 simultaneous lasers from Chamber at any one time. Yes, I counted. This means he needs to reload after firing one wave, before he took out the rest with the second wave. Between these blasts we saw the guy fall into the sea. We know that Chamber has either poor underwater detection or none at all, going by episode 3. So it wasn't that Ledo let him go, he just missed him.
There are a variety of better ways to handle the situation without killing 30-40 people in an instant honestly. Simply killing the guys who were actually threatening the hostages would probably be enough to get the rest to run. What Ledo did was definitely excessive force.

Gargantia Episode 03
Hah. That last line.
This was good!
I kept waiting for the moment these characters would make a stupid contrived decision or something but I was ultimately very impressed at how the entire situation was handled. The second half was great with some nice action scenes (I think I'm one of the only people who isn't bothered by the CG) and I burst out laughing at
. A lot of the concern for me was whether or not the writers would be able to conclude the situation well enough but after this episode I'm pretty convinced that this is still a very well written show and I'm excited to see where this goes next.
Definitely a favorite of the season so far.

Lukkage being slingshotted into the distance. Very Team Rocket-esque.

I dunno, what about the other sensors? He could scan the whole Gargantia fleet + the pirate crew in 5 minutes but he couldn't pick activity underwater? It just doesn't sit well with me.

Is Reika the blue one and Nao the green one? If so, I agree.
Ledo should just enslave the Gargantian population under the threat of auto-aim noscope lasers. Hell he could probably enslave all of Earth if he could keep that thing powered. They could turn this into a Heart of Darkness sorta deal where he becomes Kurtz and his space buddies eventually find him on earth. Rogue soldier enslaves underdeveloped planet that just so happens to be humanity's birthplace.
Would watch.

I don't know what other sensors the mech has but I think its safe to say that since it was made for space combat its not going to have reliable sensors for detecting things underwater.

There is also an equally high probability that the pirates would have panicked and shot back potentially injuring or killing innocent people. They weren't about to negotiate either because they thought they had the upper hand.
I forgot a "not" I don't want them to be pinching my idea.
Also I looked up that Negima and the brief overview doesn't seem to be at all like my idea. For one, the character is a teacher, whereas my idea involves an exchange student. Also it's less about him trying to fit in/get the respect of other but more the rest of the class coping with an obnoxious Brit who doesn't give a toss.
Only problem is that this is literally a one gag idea that probably only last two pages at most.
So I guess I better stretch it out by making it a 4koma.

Nice to see older Eureka cameo in crime edge. Maybe someday they'll make a 2nd season of E7.
