My contact with Angel Beats occured through the same easy availability at Netflix streaming. As such it's likely to be short-living, as tomorrow I have to retreat into my study, where I do not have a Windows computer or a TV. And I am not enamoured with the series enough …

Idolm@ster TV 17
Please pardon me, P-san, but WTF are you doing? A promise to Yukiho and now dating Makoto? And what about Miki? The desire not to rock the boat and go with the flow should not override the minimum common sense in a grown man in charge of juvenile idols. Of …
read moreStrike Witches 12 (end)
Since my wife is away on business, I camped out at front of TV and raided whatever Netflix has to offer through the wonders of Wii and Internet. One of the things I checked out was the finale of Strike Witches, and that made me reconsider GONZO.
GONZO, by your …
read moreSDF Macross retrospective
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 …
read moreEvirus vs Yukiho
No quarrel with the summary at Karmaburn, but note how Yukiho ended at the bottom. And in my opinion it is deserved. I think the main attraction of the game Yukiho was in the challenge of managing her growth. It is a story unto itself. Someone could've made a cour-sized …
read moreSchneider's idol rankings
Unlike Evirus' wholly voluntary rankings, Schneider attempted to establish a rigorous system. There was just one problem: I did not see an explanation, if any even existed, until now. But here's how it works. At every episode Schneider establishes the rostrum with 3 winners. The top idol gets 3 points …
