Revolutionary Girl Utena 9
So after two viewings of this episode, I'm not quite sure how much closer I am to understanding what exactly is going on with this show. I'll spare the long, drawn out summary and instead ask questions and maybe pose theories that will probably have Regulus and Hitokage bashing their heads against their desks going "You. Stupid. Motherfucker."

Motherfucker."
-Why were their three coffins for Utena's parents' deaths to begin with? Why was there a third coffin there?
-More importantly, why did the coffins have the rose seal on them?
-What is with the near-identical similarity in how Utena and Himemiya were shown in their coffins, laying in that position among rose petals?
-Moreover, WTF at that whole scene with Himemiya in the coffin?
-What is Touga's deal? And who or what is this "End of the World" he now seems to be in contact with?
Probably my only major theory right now that is probably fucking wrong is that this "End of the World" is Utena's prince. Mainly because he seems to be pulling all the strings, his giving of the rose seal ring to Utena could be some part in his grand scheme, and Touga seems to be very familiar with everything that's going on, including Utena's situation (mainly him saying "Because your prince was a lot like me, right? " is what's tying them together for me, because I don't think he's this prince, and as has been mentioned, he is in contact with him).
With that all said, I would just like to say, fuck Saionji.

Oh boy, you have no idea...
I can't give you answers now, but you're asking good questions.
As for things like the rose seal and the extra coffin, you should probably think more symbolically than literally. That's kind of how Utena rolls.
I recommend you pay attention but don't get caught up analyzing as that can wait until the end.
You're tellin' me...
Edit:
Haha, I was kinda hoping somebody would say that. I might be trying to figure out too much with too little, but at the same time I don't want to miss anything crucial.

But all I want is more of this.
If the mom can keep her dead eyes in a super upbeat OP like that, I have no doubt we'll get more despair. Just put the show on hold until she shows up.

Dull episode really. Why focus on the worst character in the cast with every trait that makes a bad character. Anyway the preview has me hyped for my favorite two characters seem to make an appearance. Shinsengumi ftw.

Everything about Nichijou is genki, and super awesome. Especially Mio.
Episode 20 made me angry though.

Mazinkaiser SKL 3
Is there anything more pure than Nobuyuki Hiyama calling super robot attacks? I think not. That might be one of the greatest final scenes in history too as
---
Final thoughts? Better than I expected, I'd say. It's sort of a love letter to old 80s/90s OVAs where the story is disposable and you're supposed to kick back and enjoy the ride. There's no great themes explored or lessons to be learned, it's just an excuse to return to some old school violence and to have some giant fucking robots knocking the hell out of each other. The entire impetus of this seemed to be a reminder that bad guys are fools that need wrecked, have asses that need beat, and possibly shit that needs shoved in from time to time but always in the most badass manner possible, ideally with large explosions accompanying.
It's pure manime/super robot fodder and I couldn't recommend it to anyone that doesn't enjoy that sort of thing as the story really is sort of a mess and there's some nasty CG. The repurposed Go Nagai designs made for some great fanservice though.

the Mazinkaiser SKL is deployed to it's next target from a high altitude astride a motorcycle that changes into a skeletal winged horse on its descent.

Yeah, but Mai drawing whatever she wanted was actually what got me the most angry. Though I know the pain of stabbing myself with the wrong end of mechanical pencil all too well.

And that's why childhood promises are horrible.
And that's why childhood promises are horrible.
As the series goes on it will become increasingly necessary to take the depicted events symbolically and thematically, rather than literally, especially anything that occurs in a flashback.
But . . . there was no drama.
Oh well. I would like to see ep.14 in HD but really that's it. They're probably going to butcher the upscale too.
Exactly. There was a confrontation that dragged on for far too long with an unsatisfactory resolution that resulted in nothing. There was nothing in this episode other than swimsuits.

I love the OP and ED of this show. They're probably my favorites this season. Just wish the show was anywhere near as good.

Monday anime on Friday, so behind. Anyway, decent episode on multiple fronts. Kanda should make the clear choice and pursue that route as it is clear better than the other option on the table. Miyahara was awesome character and truly deserves more screentime. Whole scene with Kanda was pretty good as as memorable as the scenes with Kanda and Jin have been. Hopefully there are more as we go on.

Quality picked up in the past couple episodes such that it's become sort of a predictable comedy versus the garbage it was. Sadly don't see it exceeding that ceiling but here's hoping!
