Kami-sama Dolls – 03

「攻め来たるは・・・」 (Semekitaru wa...)
"The One who Comes Attacking is..."

I didn't expect to see Suou (Sendai Eri) again, but she sure made an immediate impact, snapping back at Utao's cold behavior toward her goodhearted head and cheek rubbing. The latter made wonder if the series is intentionally trying to make Utao come off as a pet of sorts, especially with all the squeamish noises that Fukuen Misato was making.

Steins;Gate – 16

「犠牲壊死」 (Gisei Eshi Nekurōshisu)
"Sacrificial Necrosis"

The theorizing and postulating and guessing and spoiling is going to be gangbusters after this episode - it'll happen in blog comments and forums and everywhere Steins:Gate is sold. I'm not going to ignore it by any means, but the main point I want to get across here is this - that was an absolutely fantastic and emotionally powerful episode.
