That was totally unneeded. Impressions: I like how they replaced the OP with the last minute of the previous episode. Only had 30 seconds of extra material to show, Diomedea? I also liked the GIANT EVIL EYE, which I’m pretty sure they have on loan from the Kirby series. Everything went pretty much as expected [...]

  When you just can’t take the time to clear away debris before shooting a giant beam through it. Impressions: An excellent episode, and I’d say easily the best one for this series yet. Entertaining the whole way through, which I’ll go ahead and note now is not the same as being good, and the action [...]

  A bit too adagio for my tastes. Impressions: Yawn. Second setup episode of the day and it didn’t even have random yaoi or beasty pairings to make fun of… outside of the loli passed out on top of the giant wolf for the majority of the episode. Everybody gets prepped to go fight the Legion [...]

Firstly, wow, Phoron can really pull through if he tries. I think this is the first time that I’ve ever seen him angry and determined. Usually we see him very passive and always doubtful, but I guess he’s the type to be more of a “man-up in the moment”. Although he still took a more [...]

   How exactly can a piano be infinite anyway? Impressions: It’s really hard to take this show seriously when the bad guys are flying around in a giant glowing lightbulb wielding an Infinite Piano. God help us if they manage to also steal the Endless Drum Machine. As expected, not a terribly interesting episode since they spent most of [...]

Well we’re finally getting somewhere with the underlying story of this series as we have Leica who was posing as someone important, but is actually one to be weary of. Still it was rather obvious from the start which is rather disappointing as I wished they sort of did it in a non-obvious way. But [...]

  Phoron, just… stop talking, please. Impressions: A pretty good episode marred by only two things. First, the show’s lack of a budget continues to really make itself painfully evident. The episode was almost entirely action, and it rarely got any more complex than characters standing around shooting beams at each other while the target shrieked. Second, [...]

So the first half of this episode covers Phoron being depressed about what Corti said to him in the last episode of how his commandias are boring. Still its quite a heavy thing to take given that Corti and Phoron are pretty close and if it weren’t for the Yugiri sisters and Rembart by his [...]

  The musical term, you plebians, not the horrible show. Impressions: Well, not a particularly interesting episode until the last few minutes. We get an introduction to the generic evil caucus of villainy, about 10 minutes of Corti being preoccupied with the news of terrorism, and then the evil caucus attacks the school, leaving us with [...]

  Where’d that chest come from? Impressions: Well, since I already knew about Prine’s whole half-spirit deal, which is what about 95% of this episode covered, but too much seemed pretty painfully shoved in. The fight pretty much came out of nowhere, Corti completely abandoned all her jealousy to the point of allowing Perse to spend the [...]

One of the greatest things I love about Polyphonica is the relationship between Phoron and Corti. Phoron is the type of person who is too reserved about everything as well as someone who lacks confidence. Corti on the other hand is the complete opposite to Phoron where she speaks her mind regardless of the person’s [...]

Katt: Yeesh, took long enough for the second episode of this series to be subbed! I’m glad to see that it was done eventually, though. Now that Phoron and Corti have made their contract, I wonder how things will go for them from here on out. It certainly isn’t going to be smooth sailing. For [...]

  A month in, and it’s about time. Impressions: Phoron continues sucking this week for the first three quarters of the episode, even backing down from letting Corti fight a stuffed animal. Seriously, dude. It’s a fuzzy little rodent, the worst thing it’ll do is maybe turn into a statue. As expected, Raika’s got Danglis under [...]

  You shouldn’t be able to sing out of that, falsetto boy. Impressions: Well, things started moving along a little more than they had for the past few episodes, but it was still a pretty placid episode. It was pretty evenly split between Phoron and Corti still trying to sort out their relationship and the introduction [...]

  Everything is solved by one or the other. Impressions: Honestly, both Polyphonica and Valkyria were really lame this week. I’m just posting about Polyphonica by dint of watching it second. Valkyria was a by the books intro to the new characters with the third straight episode of "ZOMG she’s Darcsen we can’t trust that" followed [...]

Opening Sequence: OP: “phosphorus” by eufonius Every new season there is always one show that an anime fan highly anticipates above any other series that is also planned to air. For me I seem to choose the most uncommon choice compared to a lot of other people and for me this season, it would have to be [...]

The impression I’m getting from Polyphonica is rather academy-life; since it’s following the light novels, this is probably to be expected. I find it pretty interesting, though — maybe because I like the characters, even though Corticarte does seem pretty fierce sometimes. XD But I suppose that’s why she’s cute.

This episode was really a mix of good and bad. And when I say that, I don't mean there were good and bad elements of the show, I mean most of the elements have good parts and bad parts: characters, animation and production quality, and setting. While I can't deny that I'm interested and will probably watch more episodes, the odds of me completing this show is really up in the air.

  Screw BU. Impressions: Well, the parts with Corti were decent enough, although I really could have done without the lessons about the world, as well as that damn tea business. Shut up and have your meeting already. Stop talking about the bloody tea. At least it’s good to know that Corti’s just as protective of [...]

Katt: Good lord, this anime has a long-ass title. A-Anyway… I suspect that there wouldn’t have been much competition for blogging this first episode since I believe I’m the only one who watched the entire first series, but I figured I’d best grab a point for the girls quickly! Truth be told, I found Shinkyoku [...]
