「猫と少女とアレルギー」 (Neko to Shoujo to Arerugii)
“Cats, Girls, and Allergies”
What do you get when you put Holo from Spice and Wolf, Makoto from School Days, and Junpei’s cat allergies from Nyan Koi, all in a mystic setting? Omamori Himari… apparently!

「嫦娥町」 (Jougamachi)
“The Town of Jouga”
I wasn’t actively looking for signs that this PSP video game adaptation had Ryukishi07 working on it, but similarities to their popular Higurashi series became more apparent as the episode unfolded.

「バカとクラスと召喚戦争」 (Baka to Kurasu to Shoukan Sensou)
“Idiots, Classes, and the Summoning War”
Now why didn’t my school have a summoning war system? Not that I needed it as motivation, but if it entitled me to a high-tech facility, first-class treatment, and meant I could own everyone with a digital personification of myself, it sure as hell wouldn’t have hurt. If you’re looking for a comedy to watch this season that has everything from a “pervert ninja” to the ultimate trap, look no further than Baka Test!

「おとなパンツ！の女の子」 (Otona Pantsu! no Onna no Ko)
“The Girl with Adult Panties!”
So I hear shy girls like to choose bright and flashy underwear, or at least that’s what the OP/ED song titles have me believe. “Chu-Bra” -> “Choose Bright”. Yeah, I’m sure that’s what it’s short for… >_>
OP: 「LOVE x HEAVEN」 by 川澄綾子, 中原麻衣, 小清水亜美, 釘宮理恵 (Kawasumi Ayako, Nakahara Mai, Koshimizu Ami, Kugimiya Rie) |
ED: 「my starry boy」 by 中原麻衣 (Nakahara Mai) |
Missing from last week’s early broadcast premiere of Ladies versus Butlers! were the opening and ending sequences you see above. Also missing were the completely uncensored scenes on AT-X’s broadcast, nipples and all. Click on if you want a taste of what was censored out. I guess this is where I should add in the obligatory “WARNING! NUDITY AHEAD!”
Okay, I’m no longer accountable if you choose to proceed. =)

「ぼーいｘれでぃ」 (Booi x Redi)
“Boy versus Lady”
What do you get when you put the director, character designer, studio, broadcast station, and leading seiyuu behind Kanokon together again? Ladies versus Butlers (…apparently). Here, we get an early special premiere before the series’ official start in January and it looks like Xebec and AT-X will focus a fair bit on the service side again, albeit not nearly as much as before.

「ポジティブフィードバック・ゼロ」 (Pojitibu Fiidobakku Zero)
“Positive Feedback Zero”
Damn, that was one hot Little Boy. Oh crap, that didn’t come out right. “It’s not what you think your honor, it’s the name of a move in a Japanese cartoon!”, probably won’t hold up very well in court huh? So um… anyway… Aruka is down, Blade vs. Arclight is on! It’s the battle of the Zero fragments.

「VI-I end game」
The playing field has been wiped clean, the pieces reset. After Beatrice’s conniving attempt to win last time, it’s clear she shouldn’t be taken lightly. The stakes have been increased now that the vicious 12 year cycle is known, but Battler has Ange’s help for this fourth game. Beatrice also arrogantly grants him the use of the “blue truth”, which may just come back to bite her in the ass.

「アグニッシュワッタス」 (Aguni Shuwattasu)
“Agni Schiwatas”
If you don’t like my one-off posts because you tend to follow a series via weekly coverage, feel free to ignore this one. For those watching though, this week of NEEDLESS was full of all kinds of awesome and if I watch something awesome, you can bet I’m going to talk about it! This series also features Aruka Schild, the girl who willing goes nopan. Need I say more?
