HHNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH Tortilla Sisters OP. I’m glad the production team knows how to pander to the fan base. Hell, given shots like this…

Actually who am I kidding, the whole episode is pretty much pandering to the Tortilla fanbase.

HNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHH MIZUGI POSES.

Even Agnes joins in the fun. Those shades of hers are win. Did I mention she was wearing it beneath her normal clothes all this while?

Oops! Nearly po~ro~rin~’ed

Hurr waitress mode also got.

Oh god hawtest scene in the episode so far. Shelley sure knows how to steal the spotlight. Sure looks like she almost got raped right there and then.

And the ED is pretty much a zoom-out of a shot of delicious twincest. Damn you, Studio AIC.

Of course, the whole episode wasn’t just mindless fanservice. There’s also the trademark iyashii-kei touches in this episode, mainly of how Ritos decides to set up a chance for her dear onee-sama to be beside Leicester to watch the fireworks. Gone to waste though, because Salsa just can’t be leaving her sister alone like that, d’aawwww.

Leicester’s pimp aura is totally going on overdrive or something though, because it’s even affecting Golem. Probably the only ones immune to it are his parents and the maid.

Anyways, it looks like the serious parts are coming in to play next week, after this heartwarming little interlude. I’m guessing we won’t be getting to see much of the Sisters after this.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Presenting to you this episode’s true star; Minna’s Ass!

Seriously, I lol’ed so hard when she crushed it with her ass death grip. And got her 200th Neuroi kill from it as well. And an award for it too. Hahaha.

But otherwise, this was such an awkward episode to watch, seeing the girls squirm and go commando because of the bug. The best part was when Eila grabbed those dowsing rods, leading her to a very unfortunate place…

Sanya’s pouting face of embarassment = WIN.

The only thing that matters in this episode.

And Miya dispenses with a little gem of wisdom to all prospective brothers looking for a date for Christmas.

Well, I’m glad Kaoru’s arc is finally done with. It’s not bad, but it’s a bit too bland – thus kinda boring for me without the stimulation provided by good ol’ Haruka. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not like I hate Kaoru or anything… but the lack of tension pretty much bored me, not to mention that Junichi was a bit lacking in initiative in this arc.

Sae’s arc is up next. She’s pretty much an unknown to me, since we don’t see her much apart from hanging around Miya-chan. I heard she has big boobs, that’s all.

Hurr, epic butler action in this week’s episode.

Man, this is one butler I wouldn’t mind having around, even if it meant I probably wouldn’t score with any women anymore. (’cept for childhood friends, that is)

From the moment I heard Otsuu say this line, I knew this would be a cameotastic episode. LOL’ed like mad when the Toradora Trio and Railgun Quartet appeared outta nowhere in this episode.

Ending it with a service cut. Needs more of this. Hurr durr Ringo is gay for Ookami-san.

Man, Arai Satomi’s narration went way over-the-top at the beginning with that fake movie trailer. I was honestly expecting to see them square off against the Pig Brothers, but alas… it was not meant to be….

Oh god, what an epic line. “Open up my virgin tape!”

Damnit, Kio. Just put an end to her mating season.

Derp.

Too late I guess. Now he’ll have to wait for the next one to come. I sure hope it’s not every sixteen cycles, but after they reach sixteen cycles.

Meanwhile, the Catian Angels get to play around with one of the best inventions of our feline masters; the virtual reality room.

Chaika definitely needs more screentime.

These two really aren’t honest to themselves. Well, they requested for him anyways.

Heck, Manami even had a fight with virtual Kio. I just found it funny she basically let off her own repressed feelings like that.

Hurr durr, nostalgic flashback.

Luckily, Chaika clarifies matters.

Well, obviously.

One interesting thing I spotted this episode is a really obscure cameo by….

… leads of Kage Kara Mamoru. OH GOD THE BANANA SONG IS STARTING IN MY HEAD AGAIN NOOOOOO!!!

Seriously, the director is some B-grade anime fan or something? Episode 4 had Seiken no Blacksmith and all…

And humans are just so picky sometimes.

I don’t know about those girls, but I’d take pretty humanoid catgirls over Greys at any damn time of the day.

And the STRONGEST thing this episode?

Assistadroid censorship. <insert obligatory buy blu-ray for uncensored version rant here>

Cake is always welcome

Nova started and omo followed up.

Which inspired me to think of this way; why is the genre called “slice-of-life”?

Sure, it usually attempts to present characters in a daily life based setting, but usually they can lean to more fantastical (Kino no Tabi, Mushishi) or sci-fi-ish (ARIA, YKK) bents.

In fact, the Japanese term for these types of shows are “kuuki-kei“, that roughly translates to “atmosphere/ambience-type”, and that term is really quite spot-on as a term describing those types of shows.

So why don’t we all just call it “ambience” anime? It’s much more accurate and a better term to describe them than “slice-of-life”; which in most cases, usually isn’t quite correct for most of them. Truly, their selling points are the settings and the pull they have towards the viewers, rather than the characters or the plotlines.

Oh god, HotD is getting too fucking win.

I don’t know what takes the cake the most in this week’s episode.

Is it Hirano getting boob sandwiches while being a REAL OTAKU HERO?

He’s actually gotten more service than Komuro by now.

Real otaku heroes know that style be screwed, functionality and message is the key to surviving the zombie invasion!

Or is it Saeko-senpai’s naked apron antics?

FUCKING. CUCUMBERS.

Saeko will go on to establish the future Naked Aprons Calvary Regiment

Or would it be Komuro almost getting peed on by a loli while walking on the top of a horde of bloodthirsty zombies?

Now the question is… did she go or not?

You decide, readers, you decide.

But in any case….

Damn fucking right, bro. Damn fucking right!

LOLI RESCUE ACHIEVEMENT GET!

Fuck yeah guys, fuck yeah.

I must’ve missed the memo stating WHITE FOX is part of Sunrise. ALIPRO OP following Minami Kuribayashi… pretty much quite a Sunrise trademark now. Not to mention the slightly spoiler-tastic OP featuring some cool juxtaposition shots of the protagonists vs the antagonists that is highly likely not going to be used in the main show… yeah, pretty much Sunrise.

Episode 8 is really showcasing the closeness of Shichika and Togame. Which kinda leads to one of the funniest scenes of the show to date.

Emonzaemon’s little grin there just pretty much says it all.

Gotta love Shichika’s “what, you got a problem with me having scored big?” face juxtaposed against Togame “Oh shit there goes the gossip” face.

But really once you leave these two lovebirds together is when the problem starts….

From full-scale tickling….

…. to pulling all-nighters. Oh man, get a room guys! Oh, wait…. (ಠ益ಠ)

But the real show-stealer this month is Princess Hitei, coming in front and center this episode to step into the antagonist role fully.

Seriously, Tomatsu Haruka’s rendition of her is just dripping with the right amount of malice mixed with royal arrogance and laced with liberal amounts of confidence like no other. Really makes me wish Tomatsu would do more evil roles. God damn, that Hitei-hime voice is just seriously something I would make love to.

This episode also marks a cathartic makeover for Shichika too, as by fighting against Biyorigou a.k.a Bitou Kanzashi, he’s truly awakened up to his human side, emotions, free will and whatnot. It’s a noticeable difference from the earlier Shichika which rarely said things and merely killed whoever standing in the way with almost zero emotions apart from occasional bewilderment and curiosity.

No preview this month surprisingly. I wonder if it was forgotten or intentionally left out.

Sora wo Kakeru Kio?

Is Kio manly enough for you haters now? I think that saving a girl alone from a sinking ship’s engine room should feature pretty decent in the ranking of manly actions to take.

Gotta love Manami’s Assistdroid, Yun Fat. Even comes with dual-pistols and requisite doves.

Yeah… I gotta admit the Assistdroids are pretty irresistable.

The action sure never stops in this show and this week was pretty crazy with the girls solo’ing a floating fortress. Literally. Bloody ship has armored panels, CIWS and cannons. Oh, and an amusement park too.

Sadly, it’s a bit marred by the bleh animation quality that is very obvious, with shots like this…

…. happening. Man I knew Aoi was flat, but not THAT flat durr hurr hurr. Don’t even want to mention the CABBAGE quality turkey/chicken thing.

Dog Leader Hocchan makes her battle appearance this episode and interestingly enough, Aoi’s armored suit is revealed to be Dog technology, implying the Dogs have had quite a hold in the “underworld” for a while now. I thought it was cats that were supposed to be the devious ones.
