「ちきうにおちてきたねこ」 (Chikiu ni Ochita Kita Neko)
“The Cat That Fell to Earth”
For a science fiction series, I probably should have mentioned back in the season preview that there’s more to this one than a beautiful alien catgirl falling into the lap of our unassuming male protagonist Kakazu Kio (Tamura Mutsumi).

「第遺血話」 (Dai Ichi Wa)
“First Blood”
Taking the second half hour in noitaminA‘s recently expanding time slot is the adaptation of Ono Fuyumi‘s light novel Shiki (“Corpse Demon”). She’s best known for her work in the Twelve Kingdom series, but is no stranger to the horror genre as her Ghost Hunt series has already been adapted into a very enjoyable anime.

「流星群の夜」 (Ryuuseigun no Yoru)
“Night of the Meteor Shower”
I wasn’t planning to post about this series at all, but AIC continues to produce amazing-looking series even when they’re taking on five concurrently this season, so I wanted to share some thoughts on their adaptation of Windmill‘s adult visual novel game.

「昼寝王国の野望」 (Hirune Oukoku no Yabou)
“Aspirations for a Kingdom of Afternoon Naps”
I was almost giddy watching this premiere because it had everything I was looking forward to seeing from the manga. Some of the finer details were changed, but it didn’t lose the essence one bit with our anti-heroic protagonists arguing away and hightailing it in the face of a danger.

「ユリとバラと保健体育」 (Yuri to Bara to Hokentaiiku)
“Lilies, Roses, and Physical Education”
Now if there’s one series I think everyone should be watching this season, it would be BakaTest. Much like the premiere that I was showering in praises, the second episode has Akihisa and class F back into the thick of things with another summoning war.

「海ねこスクランブル」 (Umineko Sukuranburu)
“Seagull Scramble”
It’s only the second week and we already have a beach episode. Not only that, there’s bikini shopping with Himari prior to heading there and some Malboro-like tentacle action before it’s all said and done. Needless to say, they sure don’t beat around the bush when it comes to the fan-service.

「この胸のふくらみを」 (Kono Mune no Fukurami wo)
“This Swelling Chest”
Well this second episode took a turn that I wasn’t expecting. I thought we were going to have sketchy middle school underwear jokes again, but it turned about to be a semi-serious depiction of the insecurities and embarrassment girls feel when their bodies are developing.
