14 - Random Curiosity

Ben-To – 06

By Kiiragi November 14, 2011

「特製ザンギ弁当 795kcal」 (Tokusei Zangi Bentō 795kcal)
"Special Seasoned Duck Bento 795kcal"

Rather than the Monarch being the end-game villain like I was expecting, everything surprisingly wraps up to be a story arc, leaving a bright unknown future ahead.

First Impressions Gundam AGE

Gundam AGE – 06

By Divine November 13, 2011

「ファーデーンの光と影」 (Faadiin no Hikari to Kage)
"The Light and Shadow of Fardain"

I've seen some quick Gundam deliveries when they're catapulted from a launch pad, but they pale in comparison to the instantaneous speed that Vargas can deliver a unit on the back of a truck.

First Impressions Last Exile -Ginyoku no Fam-

Last Exile -Ginyoku no Fam- – 05

By Guardian Enzo November 13, 2011

「Touch and move」

We’re five episodes in, and Last Exile is starting to settle into a comfort zone.

First Impressions WORKING!!

WORKING’!! – 07

By unlisted November 12, 2011

「恋のバッドチューニング」(Koi no Baddo Chūningu) "Bad Tuning of Love"

Rumor has it that a molester is hanging around the neighborhood but that doesn't stop our characters from doing anything they usually do.

Fate/Zero First Impressions

Any concerns out there about the action dwindling down should have quickly subsided, though I don't think anyone truly expected all the Masters to simply cooperate once Risei ordered a temporary truce until Caster is eliminated. Kiritsugu is naturally on top of that list given his assassin mindset, and not without reason due to the suspicion of a secret pact between the Church, Kirei, and Tokiomi.

First Impressions THE IDOLM@STER

THE IDOLM@STER – 19

By Divine November 11, 2011

「雲間に隠れる月の如く」 (Kumoma ni Kakureru Tsuki no Gotoku)
"Like a Moon Concealed in the Clouds"

For Takane's episode, it's kind of a shame that she's also subject to more of 961 Pro's ongoing defamatory attempts, but luckily she handles herself pretty well against a paparazzi named Shibusawa (Matsumoto Dai). It also led to some really adorable moments care of Hibiki and Yukiho when they thought Takane was going to transfer agencies and join Elder Records.

First Impressions Persona 4 the ANIMATION

Persona 4 the ANIMATION – 06

By verdant November 11, 2011

「I'll beat you, and beat you good」

After several weeks of Persona awakenings and social links, Yuu’s special investigation team finally resumes its focus on Inaba’s abductions and murders and they do it with style, shenanigans, and some beef bowls.

First Impressions Mawaru Penguindrum

Mawaru Penguindrum – 18

By Divine November 11, 2011

「だから私のためにいてほしい」 (Dakara Watashi no Tame ni Ite Hoshii)
"That's Why I Want You There For Me"

The more I watch Mawaru Penguindrum, the more I wonder if the goal of this series is to illustrate the traumatic effects that bad and twisted parenting can have on children. This week, the story delves into Keiju's past just like I had hoped, where we find out that he too had a terrible childhood because of his mother (Hisakawa Aya).

First Impressions Guilty Crown

Guilty Crown – 05

「訓練 a preparation」 (Kunren)

In the back of my mind, I knew better than to trust a pretty face and already suspected that Gai might be using Inori to get Shuu to join them, but I'm still kind of disappointed with the cold shoulder that Inori's giving Shuu all of a sudden. The only thing worse than a tease is a tease with a manipulative ulterior motive, regardless of whether she's simply following orders or not.
