Usagi Drop – 02

「ゆび切りげんまん」 (Yubikiri Genman)
“Pinky Swear”
I’m probably going to be repeating myself a lot here, but this series is very cute and heartwarming.

「大好きになっちゃった！」 (Daisuki ni Nacchatta!)
“I’ve Fallen in Love!”
Now now Jirou, I don’t have all those wild fetishes either, but when Kanade makes a strong case like she did, the least we can do is hear her out. She has some really creative ideas after all. There’s no reason to lose your appetite when honey is involved. Sweet sweet honey.
Note: A stuffed bear was harmed during the creation of this episode. Severely harmed in fact.

「光まとう街」 (Hikari matō machi)
“City Adorned in Light”
Before heading off to university, Safu offers Shion what may the most refreshingly direct confession I’ve seen in a mainstream anime – “I want your sperm. Let’s have sex right now”.
Mawaru Penguindrum – 02

「危険な生存戦略」 (Kiken na Seizon Senryaku)
“Dangerous Survival Strategy”
It sure didn’t take long for the penguin hat to find its way on top of Himari’s head again, taking us for another ride with the whole magical girl-like transformation scene.

「きみがため」 (Kimi ga Tame)
“For Your Sake”
After a relatively unimpressive first showing for the next big series in the Blood franchise, Blood-C doesn’t waver from that trend and continues on in a similar manner with its second episode.

My second time at the largest anime convention in the United States and it still felt like an entirely new experience.

「亡環上のネクローシス」 (Boukanjō no Nekurōshisu)
“Missing Link Necrosis”
Thank goodness, the humor is back in Steins;Gate, even if it’s been suitably scaled back to reflect the gravity of the situation. But I definitely know the way I’m going to introduce myself the next time I’m in Akihabara:
“Hello, I am mad scientist. So cool. Sonuvabitch!”
Kami-sama Dolls – 02

「神様の特訓」 (Kami-sama no Tokkun)
“God’s Special Training”
After a somewhat feverish start with the arrival of Aki last time, the story changes gears to a more humorous and setup-like tone with the introduction of Hibino’s N University friend, Karahari Kuuko (Sawashiro Miyuki).

「千房 離反す」 (Chifusa Rihansu)
“Chifusa Defects”
If I’m not going to give this anime an impartial and unbiased first look, is there anyone else out there who will? Chances are no, so if you’re still interested in hearing me out, bear with me for a moment before jumping to any predetermined conclusions. Strap yourself in. This is a long post.
