Owing to extreme inconvenience of grabbing screenies from Hulu, pickings are rather slim, and random. For example, check out a bridge bunny, who turned out to be a rather whiny little useless thing later. The quality is about as good as it gets for the series. By the way, spoilers …
read moreMeanwhile, at the club
Today's centerpiece was the dancing maids, led through number after number by our resident soul of cosplay Brianna Berry. What's interesting, I enjoyed the "3D Pig Disgusting" rendition of classic MMD numbers. Sadly, Brianna has not caught the Idolm@ster bug. Nothing against Miku, of course, just... think of …

Just one thought: the full scale of failure of Macross Frontier have only became apparent to me in the final scene of SDF Macross. Report to follow. Maybe.
Liked: It transcends my opinion.
Rewatch: Hopefuly my grandchildren will.UPDATE in the morning, with other silly and/or short thoughts:

Idolm@ster TV 15
Filler episodes are not necessarily all bad. They work when used as an excuse to play with the characters, and succeed at that. In a sense it's like one of those little OVAs that used to be packed in with DVDs (To Heart, KimiNozo had them), or made-for-youtube Toradora SOS …

But here's how it works. At every episode Schneider establishes the rostrum with 3 winners. The top idol gets 3 points …

The new season is truly upon us: we get a new opening! New challenges await, too, as 961 makes a long-expected move.
I had some pretty bad problems with language in this episode. For example, I failed to understand just what levers Kuroi used against Namco. Not that it matters …

Idolm@ster TV 13
The big Live was big.
It is clearly visible that A-1 is trying their best. For example, the presents for each of the member of Ryuguu Komachi are distinct: Ami mostly got childish sweets, Iori received a few rabbits among the chocolates, and Azusa scored a few roses and flat …

Oh the things you sometimes read while following Chizumatic's blogroll:
The fact that Princess Jellyfish has been a surprising success as both a streaming series and, potentially, as physical media release should demonstrate that there's an audience for anime series that have non-sexualized female characters in prominent roles.
Actually, they …
