Nanami was actually...nice to a human being who wasn't her brother? What the fuck am I watching?
Utena does a very rare, and that is appreciating and caring for all of the side characters. Some shows achieve where I care for *some* of their side characters (like in Naruto where I care for Shikamaru and Hinata), but most shows fail that front completely.
I think the last time I cared for side characters were in Steins;Gate and Fate/Zero.

MGS3 was my first MGS game.

Nice job hiding those Manami.
And I just saw the ad for Majikoi A2!
Not sure if I want to go after Seiso or the robot girls first.

Franz doesn't know the old "bat your eyes once for no and twice for yes" trick.
Anyway, 10 episodes in, time for some speculah!
Don't tell me if i'm right, please.

The Dantes guy is the Count. Albert's father and his friends did something awful too him (maybe they framed him or something, since they were in the military, iirc).
Albert's mom and the Count were previously lovers. The blode dude is the child that was discharged and buried 17 years ago.
The Count wants revenge on the three men and that's why he has been fucking around with everyone. I wonder if the kidnapping on Luna was staged? Though the thugs' boss didn't appear to know the Count personally.
How he changed his aspect and got his immense knowledge/patrimony is a big fat ? to me. I wonder if the show will go full sci-fi/magic. Maybe it is related to the "tubes" thing in the ED/One of the flashbacks.

Then there wouldn't be enough space for a terrible subtitle that lets people know they should stay away.

The PVs don't look that interesting. What's the point of an anime with office setting if the characters act like little school girls?

Ha this is interesting. You should read the novel after you finish the anime, by the way. It's so much fun seeing it told from another point of view.

Isn't that how all women act in anime? You can't go breaking with tradition now.

I don't know what this show was about anymore, but sure!
Although in this episode, I learned that Sawashiro basically loses any of her range when she's forced to act. Her "angry' voice was basically her normal voice. RIP.

Eden of the East 06 - Eden of the East (imaginative title)
Recap:
Akira drops Saki off and they agree to meet up later. Saki calls home and her sister goes mental. The next day Saki meets up with her friends and tells them the story.
There's a bit of an exposition dump here aimed at telling the viewer Saki's history with this group. This kind of dialogue is sometimes called "My Father, The King"--like a prince talking to his friend and saying "My father, the King, wants me to act more royal". It's an easy way to tell the audience a fact, but it makes for fake sounding dialogue because people don't repeat mutually known facts to each other for no reason. So this group is Eden of the East, it's a sort of student business club. The leader, "Hirasawa", is the inventor type versus Saki who is supposed to be the PR person. Hirasawa (sorry, I'm used to calling people by their first name not their last name so this is weird--this is his last name, right?) is skeptical of Akira, while the others are mostly willing to give him the benefit of the doubt.
The gang meets up with Akira, only he's not home. Circus music plays, bad physical comedy as Hirasawa freaks out. I roll my eyes the immediate second these kinds of reactions happen. Again, I'm sure it's a trope or something, and maybe some of it is lost in the language conversion, but mostly this just seems really exaggerated to me and takes me out of what otherwise seems like a fairly grounded show.
Back to Blue Hair, she orders her handler to send her a secretary who is fluent in French and Cantonese--and in an especially awkward dialogue, the handler reminds the audience that Blue Hair is a prominent CEO. Then she fires her existing assistants.
As cheesy lounge jazz plays, Akira offers Saki clothing from one of the mall's stores (who ... didn't take their merchandise when the mall closed down?) uguu~~~~ Making good use of his money, Akira does this:
So, back to Osugi,
Review:
Most of this episode was an info dump so it doesn't play particularly well as a standalone episode. Akira's plan is not very clear as of yet, but I hope it ends up making more sense. As of right now it sounds very naive. And I'm still not sure I understand exactly how Eden of the East works. Hmm.
Recap:
Usuki--apparently romanized as Osugi--is chained up in the room with the Blue Haired SELECAO. She is going to kill him but receives a call that interrupts her.
There's a bit of an exposition dump here aimed at telling the viewer Saki's history with this group. This kind of dialogue is sometimes called "My Father, The King"--like a prince talking to his friend and saying "My father, the King, wants me to act more royal".

The random dweeb that Osugi took to the restaurant spills the beans to Hirasawa that Osugi's heart was broken and now no one can get ahold of him.
The gang meets up with Akira, only he's not home. Circus music plays, bad physical comedy as Hirasawa freaks out. I roll my eyes the immediate second these kinds of reactions happen. Again, I'm sure it's a trope or something, and maybe some of it is lost in the language conversion, but mostly this just seems really exaggerated to me and takes me out of what otherwise seems like a fairly grounded show.
Akira is investing in the Eden of the East as a way of encouraging everyone to be a NEET to collapse Japan's power structure and make the old corporate guys grovel before them wait what???? Eden of the East seems to be some sort of ultimate social network search engine where you add data on everything and then your phone can read all the data.
Eden of the East apparently hit a setback when some creepy stuff happened and a girl was forced to drop out from school. Whoops! So Eden of the East started out as a recycling club but somehow their social network program helped them "understand how junk has intrinsic value to some people"??? Hirasawa asks the gang to leave and says that he is a proud NEET who studied law and management and wants to one day become a social elite? And he doesn't want Akira's investment help because he views Akira as a "have" while Eden of the East is made for "have nots". Perhaps because I'm not Japanese, but I don't really get the class or social politics at work. Saki begs Hirasawa to accept and Akira argues some nonsense. "Let's make a difference, moving forward working together".
So, back to Osugi,
he is apparently posting photos of himself on a secret online message board -- without identifying himself for some reason??? So the Hirasawa is going to maybe do something about it?

Mushibugyo!

Mushibugyo is good fun , can't wait to see more.
Well yeah but if we got down that line of thinking you open the door to such things like
"We got married when we children!", "He saved me from bullies when I was younger", "He offered me a tissue after I sneezed and I knew it was love" and other useless bullshit.
confessed
I was going to call you a monster but I realised there was a lot of promise with StrikerS but a lot of it is wasted in its initial pacing.
It was also sharing the Kubo/Bleach problem of adding more and more characters while at the same time expecting the original cast to maintain their own numbers too. By the end of A's
There was already at least 12 characters and they expect to add 5 to the main cast and a whole plethora of indiviual enemies and still have it make sense?
Ultimately though it did give us the adult Nanoha and Fate designs which led to Ishigaki Takashi
doujins
No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no.
This looks more intriguing than the typical harem show. character designs could use some improvement.
This on the other hand has really fun designs and they are cute as a button.
Nonsense. We love you Arti!

Oooh those look cute! I like those designs quite a bit.
Mitsudomoe deserved a full run, and was a great awkward comedy.
Side note, one of my friends says he's going to cosplay as the Marui girls's father. He's got the build and clothes for it, now we just need to find three little girls and some panties for him to carry.
On second thought, that might not be such a good idea after all, typing that out...
I'm still chuckling that someone named Makoto Uezu was the writer for the School Days anime.
He was also in charge of the first and last couple of episodes of Humanity Has Declined along with Kishi, and people seemed to enjoy those, so who knows... I guess it's a gamble with that pair for now.

I've seen a bit of mitsudomoe at a friend's house I believe (the one when the father gets harassed by the cops all the time?). What happened to the show?

Combination of all three mostly.
Though the action does take precedence because of the story and comedy depends on how you find Jinbei's idiocy either funny or irritating.
Ecchi stuff usually happens everytime Oharu appears.
