Binbougami ga! – 01

「神は神でも貧乏神じゃなくて貧乳神の間違いじゃないの？」 (Kami Ha Kami Demo Binbougami Janakute Hinnyuu Kami No Machigai Janaino?)
“You May Be a God, But Aren’t You More Like the God of Flatness Than the God of Misfortune?”

This show features a shamelessly manipulative but kind-hearted bitch (voiced by Hanazawa Kana) facing off against a super droll, extremely violent, and frequently cosplaying God of Misfortune (voiced by Uchiyama Yumi, of A-Channel fame). It is also hilarious! I mean, just look at that episode title. I SENSE MUCH POTENTIAL IN THIS ONE!!

First Impressions / Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon / Retrospective Look

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon – Retrospective, Part 2 – Episodes 07-13 & Final Impressions

Must type faster, must finish post. Ahhhh my carpal tunnel!

And we’re back with Part 2 of Stilts nii-chan’s ridiculously detailed Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon Retrospective. Last time we went over the story’s premise, the world, the characters, and the various factions that are all vying for power on Horizon’s Earth. Then, just to get the party started properly, I went ahead and gave you summaries and impressions for the first six episodes.

This time we’re going to go through episodes 07-13, complete with summaries, impressions, and detailed explanations of anything that I think might trip you up. Finally, we’re going to finish this thing off with my in-depth final impressions of season one. There’s some hard stuff in these episodes, so tune in if you’re not quite sure you got everything last time. As for those of you who still haven’t decided to watch this wonderful series, read my final series impressions! You might catch some spoilers, but if my passionate words don’t make you want to immediately marathon the entire series, then I just don’t know what will. Possibly you’re dead inside. You should probably get that checked out. Let’s begin!

“Takaiko and Narihira – Court Retainer Arihara no Narihira/Yukihira and Hiroko – Middle-Rank Councillor Yukihira”

Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi not only takes the audience back to the days of old, but also takes them back to the days of high-school English class when using SparkNotes and Wikipedia was the solution to everything.
