This is the story of a girl…

Despite the lack of my kind of mecha it seems that I get a very promising shoujo series this season. Sawako is just darling as a little generator of fear forcing cowards to flee for the hills at a mere glance. Unfortunately she’d rather make friends with these cowardly types than cast them off a precipice of annihilation, but different strokes for different folks I guess. At any rate I have taken a liking to Sawako because she is such a good person who is sorely misunderstood by her idiot peers. Thankfully she is not too into weeping over her situation and tries to make others conform to her will. She tries to make friends with varying degrees of success but at the very least Yano and Yoshida readily accept her along with Kazehaya. Yoshsida is my favorite of the bunch as she has a code of justice and a fatal weakness for well mannered otome, Yano is a bit more slow, and Kazehaya is a boy that has yet to adopt the sagely methods of Patrick Colasour. Sawako may have trouble making friends but she takes to her Zeus given talents with gusto, and worries mostly about not living up to expectation. Long may Sawako SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS. Sawako gets a bit weepy now and then, but at least she is selfless, though at times overly selfless, so I can forgive Sawako’s True Tears for Noe likes them too.

Wait what was you name again? I forget if you are even worth remembering.

This week it was mostly about Saten and Uiharu after last week’s intense focus on Kuroko and Mikoto. To be sure there was some hint of plot with the data manipulation but I still look forward to having good times with Kuroko and her love for Biribiri onee-sama. So there was a poor little girl named Miho who was a lowly level 2 who started a warpath against Tokiwadai students. While I am not sure how levels are measured I think it is possible to under perform and there is the distinct possibility that hatred made Miho powerful. At any rate I was glad to see that Mikoto has a sharp mind and I liked the amount of teamwork they demonstrated. Saten-san might be a level 0 but she can be properly motivated to succeed. Even if Saten-san did not like the Tokiwadai uniform she didn’t look too bad in it though I would have also enjoyed a uniform swap with Uiharu for shits and giggles. I am not sure if Komori-san is going to play a role later on but this series could use a bit of megane to spice things up. There wasn’t too much plot going on as it was all Miho’s vendetta over her broken heart. Thankfully in the end though Saten-san saved her and now Miho belongs to the Yuri side. Given how Miho is already a stalker maybe we will see her again gloriously stalking Saten. Next week seems to be scary story time and a possible Yuri tea party too…let the good times roll.

And such a wonderfully funny tale this is.

Although I  am still stuck in the Socialist Worker’s Paradise, Kampfer is continuing to deliver my regular dose of yuri goodness. So far this was one of the funniest episodes thus far for those of us who watch yuri shows with monastic devotion. They just crammed in the references and ran with it and in my opinion they did a fine job. The plot is pretty lame any ways so they might as well take it to the limit with the yuri fanservice, and boy was there a lot of it. Unlike Calawain I am willing to tolerate the Class 2-4 since they were willing to cash in on their new heroine and pimp her out to the how school for money. To get rich is glorious indeed. On the Sakura front the dumb bitch is getting possessive and trying to monopolize Natsuru Girl-type. Fortunately Akane is willing to protect the feeling of love in Natsuru Girl-type’s heart and will love her even if she assumes her guy form. Akane’s love is so deep that it blows everyone else out the water as Shizuku’s rumor of Natsuru Girl-type being hetero brought forth denunciations of the alleged vile betrayal. While it was a hasty reaction on the part of the female student body, it was understandable given how lamentable Natsuru Boy-type is. Still poor Akane is facing an uphill battle for Nat-chan’s attentions as in the class-room she cannot use her Kampfer form to assert her dominance over the rest of them. If nothing else I just love how Akane fluctuates between tsun tsun and dere dere, given how shallow Sakura is. Hopefully after The Return of Mikoto Akane might get some help against Sakura. If this keeps up then Kampfer will earn a slot as one of the pillars for this glorious Year of Yuri.

I could get use to a monthly anniversary like this…

So Railgun is chugging along nicely though I must confess I do not watch this show to find the meaning of life or some other such nonsense. It will be sometime before I can finish assessing and admiring Alphard onee-sama’s handiwork, so a dose of yuri goodness is very much welcome while hotel hopping from Beijing to Hong Kong. At any rate Kuroko was simply delightful in her devotion to her Biribiri one-sama. Her love is like Liang Qi’s in that Kuroko’s LOVE WILL NEVER DIE. Nevertheless despite having Liang Qi-like tendencies Kuroko is not at the point where she is willing to kill all those annoying people around her and her one-sama. Her attempt at seduction was brave but doomed to fail as Biribiri is still hung up over some male spiky haired tart who should not have shown up in my yuri anime to begin with. I spit upon his memory, whatever his irrelevant name may be. All I know is Kuroko’s love is stronger than anything in this show.

Do you really have to ask?

Still stuck behind the Great Fire Wall, and while Kampfer is as deep as a puddle it is still very much enjoyable unless your one of those IT MUST BE DEEP AND SRS BUSINESS types. So Akane starts her scheme to monopolize Girl-type Natsuru from the predations of the idiot Sakura, and unlike your typical love interest Akane is not above actively sabotaging Natsuru. I am very glad despite the inherent meekness of Akane’s megane form that she is still capable of thinking deviously in addition to having fantasies that might one day be as glorious as those of Kanako’s and Hosaka’s. In the mean time though Akane spends a bit of time in Natsuru’s room it ends chastely and all the typical stuff that happens when a girl goes into a guy’s room actually doesn’t happen except in Akane’s mind. The stupid dance was indeed stupid but it seems Student Body President Shizuku took a liking to it.

She is so kinky…

So right now I am stuck behind the Great Firewall of a certain socialist government and it remains to be seen whether a Railguns and yuri are acceptable to communist theory and theories on market socialism. I know for certain that not everything here works the way it should, but whatever jet lag is kicking my ass anyways. In any case as a member of the Imperial Navy, though sadly not part of the famed 501st Legion, I am obliged as sailor to be positively in love with railguns, and by extension Biribiri. It was pretty nice for an intro episode with the four principle girls being introduced and much is made known of Kuroko’s love of her one-sama Mikoto. I just hope that they end up happier than Liang Qi and Alphard onee-sama. At any rate Mikoto has mastery of electricity and can make instant railguns out of coins, and Kuroko can teleport. The former has no abilities that really enhance her day to day life, but the same does not apply at all to the latter.

Yes you have gained weight and you are also now a girl, but hey at least you you will be getting more female attention from now on…

Sorry this is so very late but this month reality has been wreaking terrible vengeance on me at work and at home. So it seems that the boys and girls of gg have branded Kampfer as the shittiest thing they have ever subbed, but me thinks their memory be too short. In any case gg being honest aside Kampfer seems less like a poor man’s Queen’s Blade and more like a satire of magical girl at least to me any way. Instead of having a little girl who seeks to better herself and her love life we get a boy who chases a lesbian, such is this boy’s sorry state that his powered up form is a girl. That alone says plenty of the decrepit state of the Japanese male and the weaboos who want to be them. At any rate Kampfer is the perfect way to maximize the seiyu talent they brought on board and they will not let the viewer forget it. I am of the opinion that any fan of the cast should tune in and endure the pain to hear them SHINE IN THE NAME OF ZEUS. Any one who refuses will have theirfanboy/fangirl license revoked and are unworthy of Zeus’ light and are the kind of sick cowards who afraid of paper cuts. I confess I do take an inordinate amount of  sadistic glee at reading how many braincells people lost as a result of this it is my sincere hope thatgg solidify their reputation for trolling by helping Kampfer kill braincells and kill more braincells. Ah yes a great cry went out into the blogoshpere as is if a great many people suddenly cried out in pain and then suddenly fell silent…I think something wonderful has happened! Long live Brokeness! Be it broken sexual preferences or BROKEN MINDS! Kampfer shall SMASH EVERY BRAIN CELL INTO ATOMS!
