「炎の個人教授ランナー」 (Honoo no Kojin Kyouju Rannaa)
"The Blazing Private Instruction Runner"

Female underwear comes to save the (comedic) day! It was not a mistake in believing a mere bra could turn the tide, but having the Kirishima twins undoubtedly helps too. All they really had to do is make themselves at home at Junpei's place with Kotone declaring herself as his future bride. That alone gets the ball rolling, but Nagi takes over soon after and steamrolls things along. Oh yeah, there's more Junpei x Kaede going on and a cat problem to boot!

「Liebste ～初めてのデート～」 (Hajimete no Deeto)
"Dearest One ~First Date~"

Damnit Natsuru, when the hot and sexy student council president invites you out on a date, you don't ask why, you just do it! There's no need to convince yourself that it's camouflage for luring out white Kampfers. It doesn't matter if she wants you to strip down and jump through flaming hoops; you just do it because she'll reward you personally. Gah, I'm so jealous!

N472 - That Was Best Described As A “Laugh Out Loud” Moment

divine — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:43:45 +0000

While I'm a bit disappointed that the Kisame/Bee fight basically came down to a chakra suckfest (with a shark trying to drown an octopus), I was pretty amused by the fact that Samehada chose delicious-tasting jinchuuriki chakra over loyalty to Kisame. Queue annoyed owner's football punt above. I don't approve of animal cruelty in the slightest, but I just saw that whole scene as a pet dog taking a liking to someone else, causing the owner to kick his own dog out of disgust. It was almost like, "Alright go get him! Wait, why the hell are you licking his feet!?" Kisame may have won the fight, but that was some pretty good self-ownage by his sword.

Aside from that, I couldn't help but laugh at the descriptive diagrams explaining how Kisame's huge bubble of water moves with him and how leading him in the opposite direction would allow Punta and Sabu-chan to escape. It's at moments like these that Naruto really comes off as a shounen manga, making me imagine the eyes of young kids just lighting up when they read that part. I can't help but picture a light bulb instantly switching on in their heads along with the thought, 「ああ、なるほどね。」 "Ah, I see." What didn't sit so well with me is how drowning is still an issue here. I mean, the ninjas in this world have unreal control of chakra and can stick to surfaces, walk on water, clone themselves, throw balls of pure energy, create huge pools of floating water, turn into huge monsters, and a whole lot more, but they can't for the life of them generate a pocket of air with some oxygen in it. Sorry to say, but my suspension of disbelief just breaks down there. -_-;

Yeah yeah, I know it's just a manga, but that doesn't mean I can't poke fun at it!

Kimi ni Todoke - 07

「土曜の夜」 (Doyou no Yoru)
"Saturday Night"

We now interrupt your regular Omni Kimi ni Todoke broadcast for a little backup divine support. *static noise bzz bzz*
So after clearing up the rumours last time, Sawako is back to enjoying high school life like she never has -- with friends! That means hanging out on Saturday night over at a guy's place, getting teased about crushes, and all that other jazz. This episode had me laughing a lot more than I thought it would for one sole reason: it was sooo high school.

Sasameki Koto - 07

divine — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 03:42:54 +0000

「少年少女」 (Shounen Shoujo)
"Boys and Girls"

It's a shame more people don't check out other genres of anime and see what they have to offer as this episode of Sasameki Koto was absolute gold. I'm often asked what I see in yuri anime and accused of the obvious, but I can definitively say it's for unexpected screenplay such as this. They took a whole different spin on the trap bit by having Sumika go on a date with "Akemi", thanks to his bro-con little sister Manaka.

「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 talking about our cute and lovable Yuka here?

Natsu no Arashi! Akinai-chuu - 07

「天城越え」 (Amagigoe)
"Amagigoe"

If you believe in the single timeline theory, it's safe to say you believe in fate as well. Things will happen and won't happen at predetermined times, ensuring that nothing in the past, present, nor future will ever change. While that may be the case here, Sayaka still manages to give everyone a heart attack by sending them to the past over and over again and risking running into their former selves, just so that she can retrieve a teacup worth 10 million yen.

Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu Purezza - 07

「入っちゃったかも……」 (Icchatta Kamo......)
"It Might Have Gone In......."

Oh screw you Yuuto. You already have Haruka; you don't have to win over Shiina as well. I don't care how nice Yuuto is. His kindness is just toying with a young girl's maiden heart! Also, Biribiri (Satou Rina) is mine!

「頭脳少女（トキメキ）の転校生」 (Zunou Shoujo (Tokimeki) Tenkousei)
"The Smart Female (Heartthrob) Transfer Students"

Well the transfer students turned out to be none other than Ikaros and Nymph themselves. You'd think people would be bothered about seeing two angels around their school, wings and all, but everyone's too busy falling in love with them to even care. Talk about messed up students!
