Check-in Station Special: The World God Only Knows ep7 (twenty minutes as a Kanon fanboy)

I watched easily the best episode of The World God Only Knows last night.  It absolutely amazed me that they fleshed out Kanon’s arc so well.  It’s been roughly 2 years since I’ve read her arc, so that helped out in the surprise department as well.  It absolutely touched on the feelings I had reading it and I think enhanced it as well.  Maybe I just became one of those silly male fanboys at her concert, chanting her name and where silly robes covered with her name, but it was a magical moment seeing her overcome her very nagging, annoying, self-destructive hangups and rise into a shining star.  Easily a 5/5 for me and one of my favorite episodes of the year.

Check-out Station: Oretama (I love “My Balls”)

For me, the original pervy manga is Oretama.  It is the standard by which I judge all other pervy manga.  A pinnacle of humor, ecchi & just enough heart.  And honestly, the name and the innevitable puns that follow don’t hurt its enjoyment either.

Check-in Station: DKJ’s annual Harem Hall-of-Fame Induction

One of my favorite and most popular posts before I started my own blog was my Top 20 Anime Chicks posts.  It was a list that included those who believed were the hottest most desirable anime women I’ve come across in my years of watching anime.  But there are a lot of anime coming out all the time, and with the popularity of ecchi and moe series there are always new hotties coming up.  So I decided I’m going to add someone new to my list.  It will be a hall of fame of my favorite anime chicks.

Check-out Station: Ichiban Ushiro no Daimaou (“The Decadence of Akuto”)

I’m not a big fan of the now popular twelve to thirteen episode format of most anime adaptations.  It works well for certain types of shows.  Comedies and incomplete manga adaptations get a more fair shot at showing their true potential in this format.  But too often I feel like there aren’t enough slow, enjoyable moments for the characters to develop and distinguish themselves.  It’s a good thing that this show is such a fun, senseless ride that you don’t really notice.  

Check-out Station: Ladies versus Butlers! (the “Every Female in this show needs to be in my harem” Edition)

Xebec is starting to develop a brand of something I’m willing buy. And that’s outrageous comedic ecchi with voluptuous girls and pleasing art. I loved
