I’d like to see this sleeping posture when Lag and Niche are a bit more grown up.
「アジサイ色の絵テガミ」 (Ajisai-iro no Etegami)
“The Hydrangea Colored Picture-Letter”
As Lag struggles over what to write in the letter bullet, the series starts progressing down the episodic route with a request by Ray Attlee (Takayama Minami) to find out who’s been delivering hydrangea colored paintings to her.

「親と子」 (Oya to Ko)
“Parents and Children”
Some people think Bakuman is basically an anime based on two guys trying to make it big by becoming mangaka. Some people think that such a premise would make for a really boring anime. I am here to tell you today that Bakuman is a lot more then just “about mangaka” but something that is pretty darn amazing.

「セクハラ裁判が大人気」 (Sekuhara Saiban ga Daininki)
“Sexual Harassment Trials are Popular”
Have you ever had one of those days, where everything just seemed to go wrong? Like, no matter what you did, no matter how hard you tried, everything just always took a turn for the worse? This weeks Sore Machi should have been titled “Murphy’s Law”, with all the crap that Arashiyama goes through.
Saying that looks painful would be an understatement.
「煩悩（プライド）ある戦い」 (Bonnou (Puraido) Aru Tatakai)
“A Fight with Worldly Desires (Pride)”
With another festival that sees the return of Judas, I was looking forward to another a repeat of the cork gun survival game seen in episode eight of the first season. Tomoki wasn’t too fond of the idea, given how Ikaros went on an aerial “angel of death” killing spree with her Gatling gun before, so I figured I was in store for something a step up from that.

「セックス・アンド・ザ・アマーズ」 (Sekkusu ando za Amāzu)
“Sex and the Amars”
Almost as weird as Manglobe taking on The World God Only Knows, Brains Base also steps out of its usual genre territory and decided to do an adaptation of the shoujo/josei series Kuragehime.

「君のためのドッグファイト」 (Kimi no tame no Doggu Faito)
“A Dog Fight For You”
Well, this sure was an intense episode. From the way it began, with Mamiya Yumi’s (Gibu Yuko) stylish introduction, you would think that this would be a mere comedy episode dedicated to her. Instead, we took a completely different turn and picked up from where the story left off with Yuno’s trauma.

「ミツバチのざわめき」 (Mitsubachi no Zawameki)
“The Buzz of the Beehive”
Dirty, immoral, off the wall, and shameless. When you’ve got a plot of searching the world to destroy the rest of your porn tapes, who cares?

「クマに起きた異変 イワさん怒りの一撃」 (Kuma ni Okita Ihen – Iwa-san Ikari no Ichigeki)
“Kuma’s Transformation! Ivan-san’s Blow of Anger!”
If anything, I’d call these two episodes “The Love Fantasies of Hancock”

「七咲逢編 第三章 ヘンシン」 (Nanasaki Ai-hen Dai San-shou – Henshin)
“Nanasaki Ai Chapter 3 – Transformation”
I think I just watched some “ramen porn”, whatever the heck that means. Aside from some surreal vibes during Junichi and Ai’s date at the amusement park, this episode also showcased an emotional side to the story not yet seen in the three arcs prior.

「あくまでも妹です／ベイビー・ユー・アー・ア・リッチ・ガール」 (Akuma demo Imouto Desu / Beibii Yuu Aa A Ricchi Gaaru)
“I’m Totally Your Younger Sister / Baby You Are A Rich Girl”
I don’t know what Keima’s on, but who wouldn’t want a cutie-pie like Elsie as their younger sister? As a bonus, she’ll even join you in the bath to scrub your butt. Those demon cleaner girls seem to be pretty kinky with their magical pink garments down in hell.
