Dantalian no Shoka – 03

「叡智の書／月下美人」 (Eichi no Sho / Gekkabijin)
"Book of Wisdom/Queen of the Night"

I'm certainly not the first person to point this out, but one of the refreshing things about Dantalian no Shoka is that pretty much everyone in it is smart. It certainly spares us a lot of cliched moments of people doing stupid things and asking stupid questions.

Mawaru Penguindrum – 04

「舞い落ちる姫君」 (Maiochiru Himegimi)
"Descending Princess"

Ikuhara must not like me or something. Just when I got into the "Survival Strategy" swing of things and was looking forward to another "Himari" appearance, he decides not to have one in the very next episode.
