Akuma No Riddle episode 11: Well, i'm not disappointed by the revelation in this episode, it was kind of obvious after the things Hanabusa was saying in the previous episode.
I REALLY liked the way they handled it though, with Tokaku and Haru both basically questioning everything, it was especially heartbreaking to hear Haru think that maybe her parents only loved her because of her Queen Bee Power. They really conveyed the sadness of the situation, never knowing if someone likes or loves you for you or because of something out of your control. Constantly manipulating everyone without even knowing it would be a very sad way to live, and it explains a lot about Haru's character.
Not happy with her stupid "talking in third person" verbal tic returning though. eurgh.
I have no pineappleing clue what happened at the end there, that shocked me, though i'm sure there is some stupid explanation.
Still really enjoying this show, i'm assuming episode 12 is the final episode and i'm going to be sad to see it go. It was nothing extraordinary, but it did so many things right and was of very good quality.
also, the ED in this episode featuring Nio was the best one of the season, I loved it.

Nanana's Buried Treasure episode 10: Cool episode. I liked the ruins puzzle, though it was stupid how Juugo just cheated it by.. running very fast and getting very lucky. the interactions between the ninja guy and the trap maid were absolutely hilarious, he's dirty and depraved and doesn't even care that the maid is a straight guy, it was funny to watch.
The fight scene was pretty cool, but it dragged on a little long for my liking. and the ending: seriously? if the villain already had that power then why didn't he use it earlier when he was losing like a peach?
Also whats with the girls backpack covered in blood with a hole through it? the girl didn't seem injured at all when they saw her, and looking at the layout of the ruins, there is no way she could have gotten back out of there alive so critically injured. So how the hell did she show back up at school? I'm so confused. she must have a Nanana's collection that allows her to go back in time/revive from the dead/heal all wounds or something stupid. because none of this is making any sense.
Mekakucity Actors: finally picked this show back up. I watched the first episode and didn't think it looked all that great, I liked the switch in protagonist from episode 2 to 4 though, and then the way the cast blooms out from there. I think SHAFT is trying too hard to make it funny and random sometimes though, with some short sequences that have no bearing on the plot or.. anything, and just seem to be in there.
