A girl stays at home and stalks her brother. Then three girls battle a chocolate invasion.

I except SHAFT shows to be weird at this point, but even by their standards this was pretty darn weird. I’m not entirely sure what to make of it yet, since I’m not even sure what it’s going to be about entirely. It does look cool, I can say that much.

In news that will surprise no one, I’m not particularly enthusiastic about the incest plot line. I do find it amusing how the brother keeps covering his head.

A little bishie fights monsters by combining with a crow.

I wasn’t all that impressed. I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. But I did laugh at the one scene above. The fantastical elements seem mildly interesting. I probably won’t bother with the second episode, but who knows.

A talking bird moves in with a girl who lives in a mochi shop.

I like it. It’s basically K-On with a touch of Nichijou and a dash of Hyouka. It has the cute girls doing cute things aspect (and daaaamn is she cute), but then it has that hilarious bird and the potential romance. The animation is beautiful, of course, and very colorful as well. It has a great soundtrack too, particularly the opening segment. The lead character is overly cheerful but not dumb, as usually seems to happen.

This is now the show I’m looking forward to most this season.

The school is closing. The only way to stop it is to become idols.

This was one of the best shows so far this season. Although that says more about the rest of this season than Love Live!

I don’t like idols. I don’t understand their appeal at all. What do idols even do aside from lip-synch to terrible music?

I’ll probably drop this, but who knows considering there’s hardly anything new to watch this season. Maybe I should finish Idolmaster instead, that was better than this.
