I hope who ever grabbed this license uses this as the localized title.

All I really want to say about this episode is that the whole fujyoshi thing is so weirdly mainstream now. Or if it's not mainstream, it's just weird how every show needs to have a female character that wants to see men cover each other in their various sticky bodily fluids.

I don't really have a point... just that it's weird that this is the only way girls are allowed to express "otakuism" in nerd culture aimed at men. If someone wanted to make a feminist argument, I suppose one could suggest that this is the Japanese version of male nerds shaming female nerds in order to keep them out of their walled off hobby? But we know that Japan doesn't really work that way.

(Even if Comiket is separated by days based on yaoi days and porn for everyone else days :p)

I assume it's because the audience likes seeing girls being just as perverted as they are. The same reason you have those girl characters that molest other girls.

StrikerS has LOTS of boring episodes that I find worse than the S1 episodes where it's traditional monster-of-the-week mahou shoujo, and most of the episodes where action was happening were underwhelming. That and I really don't care for the plot and overall direction the series went with StrikerS, that Time-Space Administration setting and other nonsense I could have done without. The movie 3rd will hopefully be the next great Nanoha thing.

Plus the characters lost their cuteness factor. So instead of Cute and deadly it became sexy and deadly. Not as much fun :(

bad gameplay lol

Still great. Lucifer owns a PS Vita, huh? :lol Also interesting that they've finally introduced the last of the main characters. Can't wait to see how that turns out next week. Oh, and the show has a real ED now, too. Which is nice.

Also, :lol at

Alright ep. Strong start with duckroll's waifu but it slumped when it got to the boss battle. They aren't very interesting to watch. The ending was interesting though.

Dresden peaked with that title!
(And you know they'll never do it, because it's too clever. lol)

Well, fake lesbians are for titillation though. Even Western TV has fake lesbians that only exist for the sake of being fake lesbians.

It's just strange that you can't be a girl who is a nerd but doesn't necessarily want to see guys bang each other until their eyes roll into the back of their heads. Even the new Genshiken can't really escape from this particular trope of girl nerds = fujis.

Imagine if all male nerds in anime were simply obsessed with lesbians. Would that be a bit unrealis - oh wait, I guess that's not too far from real life. lol

I'm so so happy about 1:100 now being the standard again for yen. Saves me so much money. I also just blew a shitload of yen and so this should save me quite a few bucks.
 
TBF the Precure movies are only sixty minutes long.

71 Minutes, but some of them waste it on things like interacting with the audience to flaunt their glow sticks at crucial moments and what not to do with a Wiimote.

Although Heartcatch does make use of all the time it has without that crap.
 
I just wonder... does this mean Japan's economy is tanking or that America's economy is recovering?

I would imagine that this helps Japan since most of their stuff is exports anyway and they'll be getting paid in a stronger dollar then the weaker yen.

I don't know a lick about economics so I am probably totally wrong.

Do I even want to see the rest of this?

Ooh, Lucifer is staying with Maou and Alsiel? Best news ever! Should provide more hilarity now that he's sleeping with them.

Episode was great overall and had better comedy than last week. Chi is still cute, Emi should keep the ponytail look, and new girl looks interesting so far (I'm a sucker for the kimono).

LOL. Yeah, none of the other girls stand a chance of winning. More canon than OreImo. ;P

Hataraku Maou 06:

Another enjoyable episode. I was worried when I saw the title of the episode last week that Maou would be JOINING a school and turning the show into another high school comedy, but thankfully that did not happen. And Chiho got lots of lovely screentime and a new ED animation that's still devoted to best girl. Though Emi keeps finding ways to force herself into the show, even going so far as to stalk him. She can go home now, but she won't. GEE I WONDER WHY?? >>;

I just wonder... does this mean Japan's economy is tanking or that America's economy is recovering?

Actually, inflating the yen is great news for Japanese businesses that do tons of international business like Toyota, Sony, etc.

The former.

It means Japan's economy is recovering.

:kayos

If only they made an anime featuring a hero and a demon lord that explained macro-economics to me. :(
 
Nanoha - 4

Okay, so our main character's rival (apparently called "Fate" from what I've heard of this show before) comes in.

So Nanoha wields GLaDOS while Fate wields Jarvis.

The atmosphere of this show is calming, but according to that chart a while back, the action's going to pick up soon. I just hope the OST has some decent battle tracks, though I doubt that it will top Fairy Tail's amazing OST.

This was great. Lucifer seems like a really cool addition to the cast. A few great Chiho moments this episode. The scream this week was great too, nice build up. Interested to see what the new chicks deal is.

Also dat celebration of Chiho ED! It's a really nice ED! Super nice art and it focuses on the best character! I can't stop watching it though.

I really appreciate the creator's love of Chiho.
Even if you aren't a fan of Chiho, you have to admit it's a beautiful ED.

So that's 6 out of 6 great episodes! We've reached the halfway point. I'm calling it right now, there is no chance of Maou dating Emi. It will end with Chiho or nobody. I doubt the new chick has a chance, although I could see her ending up with Lucifer.
