Sounds good. Kinda. Sorta.
I'd imagine they will have to ramp up the baddies progress drastically in order to churn out some new powerups. Can't sell new merch if nothing changes!
Anyway its been a while since I watched this show. Dunno why I stalled out because its still a ton of fun unlike some other shows I've been watching lately.

As a person who really, really hates bugs even I found this episode to be really cute. I mean Yayoi is already so adorable, but inthe cute ratchets up to like a 12 on the 1-10 scale. The ending to the episode is totally unintentionally sinister. There is a scene wherechibi formthat is shortly followed up by Candy jumping up and down in the same exact spot Majorina was doing it (see above). Did she wipe out an entire pillbug family? Nobody will ever know.Majorina starts stamping her feet to essentially create an earthquake for the girls
Lots of funny moments in this episode. Akane x Nao is obviously canon because they share the same phobias, including the fear of heights, the scene where they are clinging to each other as they are falling from the sky was fantastic (and Yayoi even falls with moe). Majorina being a total idiot was superb as well, I wonder if the baddies will ever actually be legit baddies.
They will, even if only briefly, and it's incredibly awesome when it happens.

Except for the faces. Ugh. From what little I've read, the story should be entertaining. Jury's still out on whether it'll be crap or not.

I know for sure I'm watching Chuunibyou and To Love-ru Darkness, and I'll probably watch the follow up of Medaka. The show about cute robots could be interesting, and I'm contractually obligated to check out the console wars parody.

What the heck is Candy’s problem? The show established from the very beginning that Candy should know her role and shut her mouth unless she is only with the girls.
- she should quit her pouting and do her job. Such an awful, awful mascot character. Wish she got replaced by her awesome bro.
Love how she got told by Wolfrun, she really is an idiot, completely useless and a burden to everyone else. But then, of course, there was the battle scene. Rather than being cool and rational and assess the situation the girls decided to just keep wasting their firepower. Wolfrun running his fat mouth and telling all the good guys why they were failing, way to go pal. At least Reika was damn boss in this episode.

She almost gets all the girls in some serious major trouble (like unreal kind of trouble) by constantly opening her mouth and yelling in the classroom for some illogical reason

Pfft... you're thinking about Accel World which is made with genetically-modified wheat and perservatives. SAO is made with real whole ingreadients like your mother and grandmother used to eat. It's real food for real and good people. When people watch SAO, the cancer rates go down; autism goes down; the Diabetus goes down; people balance their budgets; marriages are healed; the world is at peace; etc..
Generally, It's the best thing to ever happen
this season
Also, for those of you who have participated in the Sengoku Collection Challenge with me, Fall 2012 will be the beginning of the Aikatsu! Challenge, which appears to have much higher odds of indeed being an actual challenge to watch. Are you a bad enough dude to chart unexplored territory by watching the first-ever female-targeted show in the card battle genre?

Judging solely by a chart and a tiny picture with a few exceptions. So pretty meangingless.
Psycho Pass - This show looks fantastic. Thus it will probably let me down.
Magi - Don't know much about that show other than that shota is totally adorable and that they are a lot of rice bowls. Still everybody else is hyped for this so I'll jump aboard.
Hidamari Sketch - FUCK YEAH. More HidaSketch. Yuno what it is.
Little Busters - It's JC Staff so I have tempered expectations but I'm still really looking forward to this one.
Teekyu - Cute girls (not) playing tennis. Heck yeah!
Sukitte Ii na yo - Really interesting. Reminds me of Kaichou Maid, seems like its got some potential.
Kamisama Kiss - Haven't enjoyed TMS shows but this one looks really interesting. Hopefully its way more Natsume Yuujinchou than Inuyasha.
Codebreaker - Don't think this show is going to save_us and it's not going to be the best at what it does - the last Geass looking knockoff was pretty damn miserable
Haitai Nanafa - Wow this one sounds fascinating. It's like Cardcaptor Sakura blended with Ga-Rei Zero. Two shows I absolutely love to death. Somehow it won't be anything like that and probably won't be interesting but alas.
Tonari no Kaibatsu Kun - literally know nothing about this show, just that its been quite a while since Brains Base gave me something I wanted to check out.
Aikatsu - Because I love idols and I love card games.
Gyrozetter - Because I love robots and I love card games.
Hayate - Because I love Hinagiku.
That KyoAni Show - Because its KyoAni.
Jojo - The OVA was awesome. I know nothing about the manga but the former is making me want to check out some more.
To-Love Ru Darkness - M-i-k-a-n.
This season has a lot of shows I will be checking out. Several I didn't list either. Either way MAD hype for this season.

For your sake, I hope the show doesn't turn out to be as boring as it looks.

Shin Sekai Yori's characters look like the Noein cast. From the trailers it also seem like the dynamic between them and the context are similar. Hopefully the show will be less about drama between prepubescent kids zzzzzzzzzz

Wow that was a really great episode. Impressive animation, for a show that already has pretty nice character animation as it is, and a nice plot to go with the jokes this week. A step up in direction as well, or at least more cohesive than usual which it fit well with what they were going for this week. They even snuck some :firehawk in there. Such a sweet ending too.
