Back again, still on the non-subscribers’ timetable, for another week of The Week in Anime, and as the season begins to head towards the endgame (for most shows, at least), it’s those episodes just before the interesting stuff begins to happen. That’s my excuse for the shortness of the column, and I’m sticking to it. 
First up, a trip to Egypt for Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures, where it truly sucks to be Polnareff.
Actually, check that, it always sucks to be Polnareff. At least this time shit’s not happening in a bathroom. This is also about the last scene that didn’t show far more than I ever wanted to see, frankly. Moving quickly onwards to Kancolle:
This is very true, anything more than a ful is a waste. Oh wait, they were talking cannon sizes. Silly me. Have, to say, though, something is better than nothing, as everyone’s favourite mercenary in Maria the Virgin Witch is finding out.
I’d’ve used the “Him? He’s ‘armless” joke, except it’s probably been done to death by now anyway. Over in Go! Princess Precure, they’ve introduced the final Cure of the show, Cure Twinkle, and let it be noted: she’s top-grade waifu material. Not only does she turn down the idea of fighting the forces of evil:
…but when she does have to kick some arse, her first instinct is a Ripley-esque run for the heavy machinery. Pulling out the Princess Perfume never crosses her mind:
And don’t even mention her reaction to don-don-donuts.
Best Cure. Possibly ever. Moving on to the Rolling Girls, they’ve got rid of motorcyle man, but they seem to have replaced him with Space Dandy…
Poor Sheena. Next up, Saekano, which continues to do the unexpected.
I mean, when was the last time an anime character changed her hairstyle without some life-or-death reason to make a break with the past? And since I kinda side with the ponytail dude from FMP! Fumoffu?, I approve of the new look.
Never let it said that Kato doesn’t know exactly what’s running through Aki’s head. Nothing escapes that girl. As for new arrival Izumi…
Couldn’t possibly comment. All I could see was the Gainaxing. And this isn’t even a Gainax show. Yatterman Night is next on the list, which for at least some scenes strayed into NSFL (Not Safe for Lepoard) territory…
Someone’s clearly enjoying this far too much.
Including some elements of the audience, after this shot. Cut it out, show, I’d thought you were better than this. If you’re going to go the cheesecake route, make it of Alouette… Finally, Yuri Kuma Arashi…
So… many… misinterpretations… possible…
…Between the candle and the star. It’s the Bear Grey Council. That’s it for this week, see you next….
