Y'all are fired, a bunch of gay panic jokes doesn't make something actually queer. That was still a good episode tho.

Did anyone get the references in this episode when they were making jokes about old-faced characters?
I didn't get any of them and now I feel like someone's going to confiscate my weaboo card.

I caught Fist of the North Star (Kenshiro) and Monile Suit Gundam (Kai Shiden).

The Gundam reference was to Ryu (he's the only VA they name). Also Science Ninja Team refers to the original Gatchaman. Couldn't google the first reference or the miso commercial comment.

Magical boy anime is into manlier shows than you are. Also part of the joke is that they were being super vague, as the way copyrights work in Japan means all anime do stuff like that.

That was a good episode. I expect them to mix up the formula at some point but it was still pretty cool just having a dumb gimmick episode.

This week's episode was pretty fun. Are the photography club a third faction, led by the Goldfish? I also liked the off-hand way they treated the MOTW.

Looking forward to next week. Sulfur is great so a Sulfur episode should be great.

Yeah, that definitely was a fun episode all around (especially with the continuing 'Weekend at Bernie'-esque adventures with the teacher's corpse) but I felt like I missed out on some joke with the monster for the week. I understood the remote control gimmick to some degree but why was he a squid? I assume it was some pun I was missing out on.

This week was pretty great. Heavy focus on Pearl, Scarlet's brother gets a character trait, and the teams finally meet! I'm excited for next week's Summer Camp episode.

I get the sense that no one is watching anymore, which is reasonable considering that all the best stuff was in the first episode anyway. However, if this show can keep up with incredible stuff like he just likes chopping wood and so ticklish, you're playing right into the enemy's strengths! I think I'll stick with this dumb show.

I like watching it, but the past couple episodes felt weak in comparison. Introducing the Press Club kinda excused one, but this week didn't do much for me humor wise and the character moment, while appreciated, was kinda shallow. A lot of good stuff for the overarching plot happened though. Might just be me but it seemed like SC President shot a glare specifically at En, possibly relating to En ruining his friendship?

According to the Bios I found from the official site, President hates Cerulean for taking Epinard from him.

I mean, it's a fun show, the Older Brother was hilarious when they questioned him, but it's mostly a popcorn thing for me, not gonna discuss about it and stuff but i'll still enjoy it every week.

This is kinda where I am (well actually I'm behind one episode but w/e); it's funny and I laugh a bunch, but have a hard time really coming up with much to say about it.

I toss my little pseudo-review posts out every week to just mention the stuff I liked. I kinda fell behind on editing the monsters into the OP, but nobody commented on it so I assumed nobody cared. Especially since Episode 3's monster was Love.

The OP is sung by the Battle Lovers, while the ED is sung by the Rulers of this Blue Earth, Caerula Adamas.

So is the shot of Yumoto holding up his lovracelet in the OP (the one right before the shot of them silhouetted in Sailor Moon poses) a kamen rider reference?
Because it feels like a Kamen Rider reference.

Okay the whole plot revolving around someone Io's toothbrush was loving fantastic and all the panic and turmoil it caused in the group was fabulous, definitely the strongest episode yet, specially when they loving killed the teacher all over again after he finally rose from the dead.
Next episode looks promising now that the bad dude is actively going on with the hate of having his old friend stolen or whatever.

I was torn between Scarlet and Cerulean for most of the episode because those two seemed most likely to do it.

Final stretch? Aw man, I thought it was gonna be 24. Ah well, it is reaching some good stuff.

Episode 8 was surprisingly exciting, the battle was legit as hell and the insert song really ramped things up.
