Fate/Zero – 04

「魔槍の刃」 (Masou no Yaiba)
"The Demon Spear"

I can't help but wonder if it's okay for ufotable to produce a television series -- a television series -- that looks as amazing as Fate/Zero does, because they're setting the bar really high for other studios -- to the point that I can't see most of them producing something that matches up.

THE IDOLM@STER – 16

「ひとりぼっちの気持ち」 (Hitoribocchi no Kimochi)
"The Feeling of Being Alone"

Well it sure didn't take long for Kuroi and Jupiter to start sabotaging 765 Pro's rising success again. I guess I should be grateful that there was even an episode in between where I didn't have to see their cocky mugs.

Guilty Crown – 02

「適者 survival of the fittest」 (Tekisha)

The Power of Kings along with a gorgeous singer saying she's mine and all I have to do is help liberate my country in return? Where do I sign up for that? I'll take two please.

Mawaru Penguindrum – 15

「世界を救う者」 (Sekai wo Sukuu Mono)
"The Savior of the World"

There's little question that Ikuhara Kunihiko has a unique direction with anime, but I don't even want to know what goes on in that head of his given the twisted developments in Mawaru Penguindrum as of late.

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon – 03

「街中の遊撃手」 (Machijyuu No Yuugekisyu)
"Commandos in Town"

If these past few episodes are trying to build up to something amazing, things really need to get kicked into high gear. For a show that can justify having a encyclopedia devoted to solely listing how each character is linked to another, I expect it to be at least somewhat interesting!

UN-GO – 02

「無情のうた」 (Mujō no Uta)
"Pitiless Song"

If the measure of a second episode is to be better than the first, then this week's UN-GO certainly passed the test. What it didn’t do is finish the job of convincing me that this is going to be a compelling series.
