“Tanegashi Accel Impact!”
And on to the Robo-One tournament!

「世界ランカー」 (Sekai Rankaa)
“World Ranked”
Like father, like son – today’s episode was a great example of what child abuse can do to a person.

「罰あたり、ふたり」 (Batsu Atari, Futari)
“The Cursed Pair”
If there’s one thing Zetsuen proves, it’s that you don’t have to have complex stories or characters to succeed. That’s not to say there isn’t anything complex about the series, but sometimes, just being straight forward is the way to go.

「痛恨の…闇聖典(マビノギオン)」 (Tsuukon no…Yami Seiten (Mabinogion))
“The Mabinogion…of Regrets”
There were so many good things about this episode! I could list out everything I found funny, but then we’d be here all night because I’d have to talk about out every single scene!

「Dance with Undershaft phase.2」
Jormungand ups the ante this week with an episode that goes beyond description. We get death, destruction, emotional scenes and just about the best of everything this series has to offer. And the bottom line? You don’t mess with Koko Hekmatyar. Also, if you’re not watching this series yet, you’re missing out big time.
(Un)Serious Business – Elevator Speeches in Anime
 |
|
Remember your ABCs: Always. Be. Closing. Capitalism, Ho! …or else. |
In business, an elevator speech is a 30-second summary of an idea. The thought is that, if you were to find yourself in an elevator with a very important person, you should be ready to persuasively pitch your idea in 30 seconds, or else the elevator will reach its destination and the very important (and busy) person will ignore your crappy idea and leave.
What does this have to do with anime? Well, anime have elevator pitches too. Or more correctly, they have premises which can be boiled down into one sentence summaries, which is practically the same thing.
More after the jump.

「試合、やります！」 (Shiai, Yarimasu!)
“I’ll be part of the match!”
Girls und Panzer seems to be the very definition of what you would call a ‘sleeper’ or a ‘dark horse.’
