Damn. I like it when people die. Especially when it’s Kakeru. Impressions: You know, I was mostly digging this episode until the ending. I guess it’s better to get it out of the way this week than next, but if a significant chunk of this episode just turns out to be something Kakeru saw with [...]

「魔女覚醒 bukott angyal」 (Majo Kakusei) "The Witch Awakens" Slipping razor blades into Misuzu's tea must be Yuka's way of saying, "Die you stupid slut." For all we know, it was probably poisoned too just for good measure. Does someone have to die here before we sound the yandere alarm? Yuka's stripping and throwing herself at Kakeru as well, with Shiori telling him to just sleep with her and get it over with. Anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

  This is the kind of Yuka I can get behind. Impressions: This actually ended up being probably one of the most entertaining episodes to date. Sure, we could have done without Shiori’s 8 minutes of exposition, random extra never-before-seen Kukkuri powers popping up for no reason and her fading away, and yet more Misuzu licking, [...]

I can see lazy animation. This was by far the funniest episode yet. It was so bad, even the anime is trying to run away from itself. Gotta love the cheap flame filter. I think her irises are broken. Flame on, you mighty bastard. Flame on. And get as far away as you can from anime Gollum over here, sheesh. Posted in [...]

「壊れた絆 törött kötés」 (Kowareta Kizuna) "Broken Bonds" They sure know how to pick up the pace by having all hell break loose this week. The sight of Saiko's lifeless body enrages Takahisa beyond the point of return, and Misuzu finds herself powerless before Superbia's true identity -- the legendary Kusakabe Misao. The truth behind the Black Knights is revealed, but Kakeru and the others are battered and demoralized. The only one able to smile through all this is Yuka with her messed up thinking.

  Do they have chimps on the staff here? You know… taking a break from final papers and studying for my finals to watch 11eyes of all things just seems wrong. Impressions: This episode featured some of the worst pacing and direction that I have ever seen in my life. They truly managed to take what should have [...]

Yuka really has a knack for voyeurism. So Kakeru gets extra powers by licking Kusakabe’s bleeding slit. Scandalous. Joking aside, he really gets into it, doesn’t he? Kusakabe only said, “Drink my blood,” but Kakeru is making damn sure he gets every last drop. Oh well, I suppose he’s only repaying the favor. Gee, Yuka, you’re looking at [...]

「逢魔が時 félhomály öv」 (Ouma ga Toki) "The Witching Hour" Crazy episodes are crazy. That's far from being the best way of describing things, but with Misuzu cutting herself, Kakeru drinking her blood, Kusakabe Misao re-emerging, Shiori revealing her true identity, and what looks our first casualty of the series, I'm a bit shocked by it all. To top it all off, Yuka continues to creep me out. *shudder*

   Delicious. Impressions: My greatest struggle through this episode was staying awake. All the generic angst through the first half was bad enough, but almost the entire thing had the same soothing violin and piano tune that came rather close to completely knocking me out. It certainly didn’t help that the story was at pretty much a [...]

“I was wondering, if she disappeared, would I be as frantic as you?” – Takahisa Okay. That certainly hit a spot. Continuing from last episode, the Red Night has begun yet again and since Yuka was separated from Kakeru, they didn’t know where to find her. Takahisa arrives and tells the gang ...

「歪んだ覚醒 kanyargós ébredés」 (Yuganda Kakusei) "Twisted Awakening" Ahhh!!! When girls start talking to themselves out of sheer jealousy and smiling uncontrollably at the sound of a guy's name, you just know we've tread into some dangerous yandere territory. Give her the ability to negate everyone's powers (plus seemingly do a lot more) and no one's safe anymore. By the way, did I mention we're talk about our cute and lovable Yuka here?

  But nice try, Yukiko. Impressions: Well, the entire time was spent in the red world, so that much was good, but Yuka’s angst was painful. It was even worse that they tried to contrast it against Yukiko’s past. "Your boyfriend doesn’t love you" is not an apt comparison to "I’m a soulless immortal killing machine." [...]

Mas o menos. Interestingly enough, 11eyes has actually turned out to be both better and worse than I had been expecting, with the better being enough to keep me watching. First, the better: for an eroge adaptation, the plot is actually engaging our male lead is neither a total loser nor an instant hero no harem! slutty nurse character is actually [...]

How many eyes? 11eyes. Certainly more than 3x3 Eyes and The Girl with the Blue Eye, numerically at least. A fascination with eyes and in particular eyepatches (see also Rental Magica, Tenjou Tenge et. al.), this series has the standard outfitting of an enigmatic past and hidden powers connected with said eye [...]

「心乱れて szíbtép fájdalom」 (Kokoro Midarete) "Disturbed Mind" What better way to cure a disturbed mind than with some spiritual healing. In Misuzu's case, the "spiritual" aspect covers you from head to toe and forces her to undress for a good part it. It's a sweaty and tiring process it seems.

  "Forget a doctor, I’ve got a condom." Impressions: You know, I really should see what kind of strange demented Japanese mythological nonsense spawned the whole "sex helps with healing" thing. Probably borrowed from the karma sutra. I mean, granted, Misuzu was just naked here, but they’re not fooling anybody. Maybe it’s just me, but while I’m the throes [...]

「友と明日のために barátoknak, holnapra」 (Tomo to Asu no Tame ni) "For Friends and the Future" After watching Kakeru run away for four episodes, I was starting to wonder when the poor guy will ever awaken his ability. He may have been hotheaded at first, but his frustration is justisfied at this point. Luckily that all changes now; Kakeru awakens, along with his Eye of Aeon.

  "Hi, I’m your mute dead sister." Impressions: As always, the red world segments really remain just about the only parts of these episodes that are interesting to watch, and since that chunk was only a couple minutes this week, there wasn’t a whole lot interesting going on here. The whole Kukuri thing was particularly poorly handled. "Oh, [...]

「仮面の微笑 a doboz mögött maszk」 (Kamen no Bishou) "A Smiling Mask" Be wary of overly bubbly girls as they may have a secret bloodthirsty, murderous, split personality! Or at least that's what Japanese media will have us believe.
