Not sure how much of a threat you can have when the main character's little sister can fist fight a battle ship.

I'd say the threat is their cosy life being destroyed by outside forces finding out about them forcing their way on them. Kinda like how the Hero tried in this week's episode.

This week's Sasaki and Pii-chan was looking a bit rough, hope that's not a sign of some bigger problem

I suspect their time and budget had started to run out by this point. Something's gotta give, and sadly, it looks like this is it.

I got off after episode six and I never felt like it was a particularly good looking show. If it's slipping even more that's... Not good.

I'm not sure we really needed two entire episodes on the backstory we could mostly infer anyway.

I was wondering how Villainess L 99 would do once theres more action in the story and the answer is 'just throw CGI at it as usual'

Did Firefighter Daigo skip over a bunch of the story? Last episode they went from a scene with the two main characters eating dinner and home and jumped right into the middle of a risky rescue and I was expecting them to do a flashback to explain what's going on and why they decided to approach it like they did but nope, it just continued from the same point
E: I guess they did a tiny little amount of flashback but not enough to really explain what was going on

It's a sports anime about saving people from disasters: Daigo keeps pulling out special firefighting finishing moves which he's been secretly practicing for years, he was inspired by a legendary player firefighter who was chased out of the scene because of his unorthodox style, he thought he could do it alone but eventually had to learn to rely on his team mates and comes to respect their unique skills, he's built up a cadre of competent competitors on opposing teams who all admire him for his determination and skills, etc etc. It's completely ridiculous while also 110% sincere, it's fascinating.

Hey now, let's not be exclusionary, sometimes your sports anime is about girls (who are also gay)

I can't say I enjoy Sicily's character design in Fluffy Paradise, it feels a touch too horny for a show like that. Also I have no idea how the series is going to end because there doesn't feel like a natural wrapping up point coming within the next couple of episodes. Maybe they'll just handle the dogbolds and then that's it but it feels kind of anticlimactic.

Doctor Elise ep9

lol, no need to wait, someone needs medical attention right away at the cold open.

not that i'm complaining, I love the medical parts and her making everyone go 'omg, your a genius' Just find it amusing. Gonna assume the source material gives some more breathing room in between events.

Lamo Metal Rouge just can't stop cramming multiple Kamen Rider plots into 1 episode huh

I'll take back comparing it to Captain Earth as the stuff is fun but man if they just picked a couple to focus on it'd be really good show instead of something that is entertaining but a mess
