Oh lord, what the hell happened here? Impressions: Ladies and gentlemen, a moment of silence please for Over the Future World. … *sigh* I really don’t like the new OP. In fact, the whole episode felt pretty weird. Gonzo had a hand in producing this episode (and I think will be heavily contributing in the future as [...]

   I’d let her ruin me any day of the week. I’m still on vacation for another couple days. Yes yes, this is late, but I don’t think I’m going to get to Kyouran Kazoku Nikki until tomorrow regardless. I watched about 5 minutes of it and my brain shut down. It’s another one of those [...]

  Sadly, this matchup is way more even than it should be. Impressions: This week, on a very special Zettai Karen Children, the girls learn a valuable lesson about acceptance. Definitely not the best of episodes, though I guess it’s meant to ease us back into the whole ‘normals vs espers’ themes since apparently we’re going to be getting [...]

  From hostage to maid in one night… well done, Minamoto. Impressions: Another pretty solid episode, though it got downright weird towards the end. Yes, even for a show with telekinetic laser squirrels, a monstrous Mio-clone fused to a bulldozer is downright bizarre, to say nothing of angelic Kaoru saving the day and displaying some clone abilities of her [...]

  Now you’re thinking with portals. Impressions: An absolutely awesome episode from start to finish. We had it all, yaoi jokes, Kyosuke giving insane speeches, portal-(psuedo)loli, Sakaki kneeing a giant guy in the balls, and Kugimiya Rie this close to carrying on a conversation with herself for the first time in… well… sadly… only about a year. [...]

Bending to the persuasiveness of Sagematt, and having read what Aroduc had to say, I checked out the first episode of Zettai Karen Children. The series does not look something for me to watch, but it’s absolutely amazing. The first thing that jumps out is the art and animation. I don’t know what budget the show [...]

  "Hey Natsuko, I need you to help me watch my friend go to the bathroom." Impressions: Wow, this episode got serious at the end. I was a little surprised with the total cheeseball nature of Sakaki’s formulative experience with Minamoto. I swear that every shounen fighting show from Naruto to Airmaster has pulled the "I’ll [...]

  Only slightly more creepy than the other dolls. I’m in a bit of a hurry, and my stream compeltely crapped itself out in the last couple minutes, just to pick up with the shift to the pre-ED CM, so this’ll be a bit terse. I may add to it later once I get back… [...]

  Doesn’t sound so cute when it’s coming from a thermonuclear squirrel. I missed about the first minute or so. I caught Momotaro getting clipped by a truck while trying to steal sunflower seeds or something. I don’t think it was particularly important. *shrug* Impressions: I am joking a little, it really didn’t sound like Louise/Shana at [...]

  Banzai! Impressions: I’m feeling lazy tonight, so you get 50% more screens. The first half of the episode was pretty hilarious all around, but things faltered quite a bit in the second. I loved the facial expressions of disbelief through all the "spying on Naomi" scenes, especially from Minamoto, just giving a sideways glare at the [...]

Summary - Kaoru receives a love letter from a girl - yet again, but despite Kaoru’s ojisan properties as a character, she wants to be confessed to by guys. In comparison, Shiho and Aoi get tons and tons of love letters everyday, so much so that their lockers are always full and they can’t even [...]

  OBEY! Impressions: Sorry Dunkin, Tim Horton’s and Krispy Kreme. You’ve been outclassed. You cannot hope to fight and win against MASTER DONUT. They are the alpha and omega when it comes to… DONUTS. They’re also apparently a magnet for Hayate cameos. A relatively entertaining episode, even if absolutely nothing happened, though I’m not sure how much [...]

Watching this raw is kind of a challenge– my Japanese sucks and this show delivers a lot of its entertainment by way of each episode’s individual plot. I can still follow the general plot points, but I miss a lot of the fine details. That’s okay, though– the real draw of this show is just [...]

     Impressions: Man, it’s weird watching this show without seeing ads trying to sell me Hayate DS. An introduction to the newest team at BABEL, Hatsune and Akira, both with animal related powers, though at close range, Akira can take over humans as well. Or at the very least, somewhat dumb humans like Kaoru. I guess they’re [...]

  Oh god, please don’t. Impressions: Damn. We went a week without using the OP as an insert, but then they had to go and use it twice during this episode, keeping the average more or less in place. Oh well, it was overall a relatively fun episode, but missing pretty much all of the seriousness [...]

  One of the lesser known psychic attacks. Impressions: I have to admit that this episode started poorly as far as my brain was concerned. I thought to myself "that flag doesn’t look right" and then deduced that there were 25 stars… and then, and only then, did I notice that the stripes were vertical. After [...]

  Case closed! Impressions: If there’s one thing that’s really starting to annoy me about this series, it’s the insert song in every single episode. A lot of the time, it’s just 30 seconds while Kaoru blows stuff up. Fine, whatever, it’s no worse than any other overused song (Mai HiME comes to mind) only with [...]

  Her chest’s going to be huuuuuuuge in a few years. Impressions: This was quite a bit better than I was expecting it to be, but Kaoru’s family is almost as annoying as she can be. At least they’re nice to look at, even if they’re not the brightest bulbs in the world. I find it [...]

It’s the obligatory onsen episode! Yes, I know I have been doing quite the few ZKC posts lately but this show is just too good. It’s been cracking me up so much that I totally forgot I miss Hayate no Gotoku. I do NOT want to know what happens next. Of course, the usual Onsen hi-jinx ensues since [...]

  A joke so old that it’s become topical again. Wow. Impressions: Every week I hope and I pray that the preview for the next week will have PANDRA finally forming. Lord knows that they’ve been running PANDRA ads during the ZKC broadcast for going on two months now. I said it near the start and [...]
