A Certain Scientific Railgun EP22

This episode was all right. I'm not losing interest in Railgun, but the episodes seem to be lacking some kind of spark that the earlier episodes had.

Rundown: So we were told the child error girl is trying to find her friend who is also a child error as well. And, so begins Judgements quest to find the lost child.

Uiharu and Kuroko are on bad grounds still. Uiharu knows they need her computer skills however, Uiharu feels a breach of trust from Kuroko. Kuroko is determined to find the child, however it means looking into everyones personal backgrounds and what not. Uiharu is strongly against that.

Figured I'd have a picture of the Railgun soaking it up in the tub.

Uiharu still visits her friend and also, dun dun dun, we discover Uiharu's power! Uiharu's power is the ability to keep things at a constant temperature. I think everyone thought it was something with computers but, wow... so lame of a power.

Uiharu is really angst towards herself because she is digging around in her friends personal life. She really is cold towards Kuroko and even towards her other friends.

No comment needed.

The Railgun girl goes to a lab she was informed of and discovers the doctor from the last arc. The doctor is trying to awaken the children but, if she does the children would react violently and could destroy the city because of their vast amounts of power.

The frog face doctor explains to the Railgun the origin of the child errors.

The Child Errors were actually created in hopes of creating a person with the 6th level of power. Currently the highest is 5 and I think there are only 2 or 3 of them in the city. One being the Railgun and the other being the guy who could change the vectors of things.

In order to save the children they need the "first sample" I guess you could see the child errors as bodies who are rejecting organs from other people, and instead need an exact body to work. So, hence the doctor is determined to find the "first sample"

The chick in charge of MARS ended up following the Railgun and goes to confiscate the children. The doctor is very much against it, but the Railgun stands up to her and says she isn't able to save the children.

Final Opinions: So every time I write about Railgun, I find my opinion of the episode always goes up just because Railgun does through out a crap ton of information at you. I am very curious to see how the doctor will react to the situation and I have a feeling the MARS girl is evil.

Durarara!! EP09

Holy cow, I was losing interest in Durarara!! Because I thought the series wasn't really going anywhere but, wow... episode 09 tightened the knot and it really got me interested now. Episode 09 basically determines everyone's motives and how all of the characters are going to be functioning in the series as a whole.

The Rundown: The episode starts off with Seiji Yagiri and his girlfriend just hanging out. Yagiri, despite leaving school, still keeps in contact with his sister. However, when Yagiri isn't looking, Yagiri's girlfriend tosses his phone into a fountain.

After the whole couple scene, We learn about the Seiji and Namie Yagiri. Apparently, Seiji and Namie lived very lonely lives and only had each other to depend on. Namie develops a deep brother complex and shares with Seiji her most precious secret. Namie shows Seiji Selty's head. Seiji grows a very creepy kind of love for the head. 

Namie gets concerned after ONE day of not having contact with her brother and asks Izaya for help. The scene here really caught my eye because Namie's personality seems to vary greatly between her feelings for her brother and those which she displays normally. I guess her love for him is very abnormal.

Namie recalls the whole situation which led to Seiji running away from home. One day Namie found her ID for work was missing and, later on, Namie receives a phone call from her brother. Her brother explains how he killed someone. Namie is relatively calm but, she really displays her brother complex because Seiji finally needs her help and she is definitely going to capitalize on it.

We finally discover how the girl with the scar on her neck is actually Selty, well sort of. She has Selty's head grafted onto it due to Namie's doing.


Seiji's girlfriend gets a message telling her to escape and when she tries to grab Seiji, Seiji becomes reluctant. Selty confronts her head, but Seiji tries to intervene. Shizuo ends up taking a few pens into the flesh from Seiji and yes I'm serious... Seiji stabbed pens into Shizuo's limbs.

Selty's head flees the scene and hits, what I would call, the main character, Mikado. Mikado, being the nice guy that he is, ends up helping Selty's head escape.

Shizuo manhandles Seiji because Seiji didn't understand the difficulties his girlfriend was going through.

He seriously got stabbed with a pen...

Selty goes home and tells Shinra how she found her head on another body. By the way, I really liked how the voice actress did this scene. She sounded amazingly cute but really sobby at the same time. Selty is determined to find Mikado.

Namie rallies her troops and is also determined to find Mikado. Namie also gives permission to kill Selty's head on the spot if they have to. Also, it turns out Iriya was the one giving Selty's head the information about when danger was coming.


Final Opinions: This episode definitely moved the story big time. All the characters are involved in the story now. I'm really glad they had those episodes explaining the character's past and what not because it really helps paint a picture of the characters personality and their motives. Namie is obviously willing to destroy Selty's head if it means her brother will only look at her. Selty desperately just wants to find her head so she can feel whole again. Selty's head and Seiji want to be together because they love each other. Iriya wants to love everyone and be loved by everyone.

Idiots, Tests, and Summoning Monsters EP09

Bam, a bomb shell is dropped in Idiots, Tests, and Summoning Monsters! Episode delivers us with Akihisa's big breasted sister, and yes, I don't know her name. This episode is pretty silly and very cute.
The Rundown: Turns out Akihisa's sister is here to watch him and verify if he is suitable for living alone. Some fun things to note about Akihisa'sister; She has a brother complex, has big breasts, and is going to rate Akihisa's life using her own personal point system.

Meanwhile, back at schoool, Akihisa is confronted by Himeji and Minori because they believe he is having an immoral relationship with Yuuji. Go figure! 
Yuuji ended up getting gouged in the eye because his sweet heart suspected him of being unfaithful. When she finds his phone has a message from Yuuji asking if he could spend the night... she gets a bit electric.


Everyone decides to have a study group and they decide to do it at Akihisa's place. However, Akihisa doesn't want them to encounter his sister, but he still ends up failing.


When they get to his house they discover a bunch of female items all over the place and are a bit confused and believe Akihisa is in a relationship with another girl.


Himeji ends up getting "That Yandere" expression and tries to deny the possibility of Akihisa having a girlfriend. When she discovers that Akihisa's sister is making food for him she goes a bit on the deep end.


Akihisa is saved... sort of, by his sister and she explains to everyone how she is only his sister. Akihisa is strangely relieved how she is acting like a normal sister because she usually is trying to get Akihisa in a boy on boy relationship or into some incest.Akhisa's sister shares off her brother's porno magazines and reveals his "fancies" to the study group. Turns out Akihisa's man quirk is big boobs and pony tails. Himeji and Minori take it onto them selves to adjust accordingly.

So, some stuff happens and it turns out if Akihisa does not do well on the test, he will not be considered fit for living alone. Akihisa ends up staying up all night preparing for the test and when the test comes....

He fails... how he fails... is probably worth watching the episode for :P
Final Opinions: This episode made me feel warm inside. Episode 09 was comical and, like I said earlier, very cute. The episode seemed to just have a very positive aura and kind of pressed on the lesson "Shit happens but people will be there for you" So, I'm looking forward to episode10.

Ladies versus Butlers EP09

Ladies versus Butlers EP09. A fun episode, nothing more nothing less. It did have some really hilarious fan service and watching Flameheart do DDR is always pretty hilarious. Rundown: It starts off with Tomomi recalling Flameheart and Akiharu being close and Tomomi does not approve of Akiharu getting that close to Flameheart.Tomomi coerces Akiharu into going on a date with her. Of course, Akiharu is reluctant, but still caves in. This is probably the first time Tomomi actively tries to find out how Akiharu really feels for her.Flameheart decides to do some Metal Gear Solid spying on them, however she always encounters people from her class. I forget who those two girls are, I just remember the green hair girl is prone to having her underwear exposed at all times.Tomomi drags Akiharu to a bunch of places like a movie theatre and what not. But, what cracks me up is how every time she makes an advancement on Akiharu, Akiharu is always so confused about how to react and Tomomi would always do that yandere face and force him to accepting her will.

Flameheart gets incredibly jealous and continues to chase after them. She eventually picks up two new girls, the lolitas of the series.
I don't even need to say anything about this scene.
The awesome yandere face. Hands down my favorite part of this episode.So, their day nears an end. Tomomi and Akiharu reflect upon their childhood.  She talks about her "advantage" over him. Akiharu is pretty much scared shitless about the story being spread, but they actually talk about it in detail a bit in this episode.
 Tomomi told Akiharu he would be a good bride, and later on, Akiharu recites to his class (when he was young) how he wants to be a bride.  He still admits it was foolish of him to say. However, Tomomi asks who's bride he wanted to be, and bam. He tells her it was probably her. The thing is though, that was a long time ago. He still likes her as a friend, and is very skeptical about her actions. It isn't very clear if he has feelings for her anymore. Final Opinions: Cute episode. Tomomi can be quite adorible, but in a very scary kind of way.

Sora no Woto EP09

Sora no Woto 09! This series is making me so confused. What was it... last episode it was about the girl not being able to pee, and the one before that had spider tanks, drama, and death. Still though, I do like the show. I just really wished it would progress the story instead of dilly dallying on filler episodes.

Rundown: In episode 09, we are introduced to Kureha's hero and how she really respects him (Miracle Claus). Also, Rio is very angry for no reason and receives a special message that was supposedly important enough for the guy to deliver it during a typhoon.

Kureha mistakes the the deliverer to be Miracle Claus and really enjoys his company. However, a group of townspeople come barging in explaining how a child is lost and wants the help of the soldiers.Turns out the child is at the fields, which were prone to destruction from the heavy rain, so Kureha and Fake Miracle Claus go after them. Turns out, the kids in the orphanage have saved up their money to buy some eggplants, so one kid went back to protect them. 

As they try to rescue the kid, there is a landslide and seperate Kureha and Claus from them the child. The child gets away safely, but the land begins to rapidly decay from the rain. 

So what do they do? They drag the tank from the fort and fire the grappling hook at them. Kureha, also realizes the Claus he is with, isn't the one he truely admires, however he risks his life to save her. In the end Kureha tells Claus how she still admires him because he saved his lifeFinal Opinions: Well, I can't ever say that Sora no Woto EP09 was bad, because it really wasn't. Kinda fun episode with lots of girls in their underwear. I am really expecting the series to lose its cuteness and get very serious like in EP07 since the show obviously showed that it was capable of it. Also, this episode makes me laugh because it is hilarious how the last scene is Kureha snuggling up with a picture of a way older man. Otaku's dream?
