This week....

Nisemonogatari 4! Shinobu speaks! barely recognized Maaya there. Araragi gathers information about Karen's disease. Love the way they make the lengthiest of conversations visually interesting...even if it's a bit perverted.

 

Inu x Boku SS 3! Ririchiyo starts school and immediately alienates some classmates with her snobby act even though she is insecure on the inside. Dull and sappy episode. The next one looks more promising.

 

Last Exile: Ginyoku no Fam 15! This was mostly a filler episode after the annihilation of the north (unfortunately the old geezers did not have another weapon up their sleeves like I had thought). The politics of this show are terrible. After she conquered so many countries, Augusta decides that killing was probably not the right approach to take, and she abandons Luscinia.

 

Hunter x Hunter 2012 17! Killua quickly gets his target's plate while Gon teams up with Kurapika and Leorio to help Leorio get his.

 

Hungry 3! The vocalist from Eisuke's band is released from jail and becomes the restaurant's waiter/host. Eisuke's girlfriend feels uneasy about his new dream. Fairly predictable story, but the show is light-hearted fun.

Fuzzy socks

Saikou no Jinsei no Owarikata 3! the most handsome meddlesome funeral director ever...haha. Masato looks into the circumstances around an older woman's death. The audience also gets a clue into some of what his siblings are up to; a crippled sister who is about to go on a date with someone she met online, a sister who seems to be seeing her teacher, a brother who stole money from the family, a brother who seems to have a memory problem. Unfortunately, Masato is oblivious to what his siblings are doing.

Lucky Seven 1-2! jdrama is about a detective agency with seven employees. It's got a great cast including Matsujun, Eita, and Matsushima Nanako. Matsujun plays a newbie, Shuntaro, who was recruited after the agency caught him having an affair with a married woman. Shuntaro chases Nitta (Eita's character) to the agency. Episode one follows a case about a missing man who is found fighting in an underground fighting ring. Shuntaro wants to save the guy while the agency just wants the job done...though they back him up anyway. The production is great with decent dialogue and choreography. The fight scenes were funny and had that Guy Ritchie slow-motion thing going on. Shuntaro and Nitta start a silly rivalry which carries into the 2nd episode. Episode 2 is about a case where the agency is asked to investigate a researcher at a company lab. Shuntaro's influence rubs off on Nitta as he tries to get to the heart of the case. This is a rather slick, family-friendly drama made so that you are left with warm fuzzies; don't worry..it's not overly sappy.
