Holy crap, Gendai Mahou fanart? FINALLY!

That’s right, you didn’t read it wrong.

A snail shooting magicial glomping tsundere trap.

A big cram post, in order to facilitate an actual Fall 2009 impression post this time. Pardon.

In other words, catching up on Bakemonogatari (episode 4), Canaan (episode 4), Gendai Mahou (episode 3), Sora no Manimani (episode 3), Princess Lover (episode 4), and why I suddenly want to continue watching Needless (with spoilers). I hereby dub this week “the week of backstories”. So if you miss any one of the episodes, you wouldn’t be missing any of the action.

Bakemonogatari – The story of a lost snail.

What an easily bribed loli. Actually, I’d be bribed too. Ten dollars of allowance? I used to get barely half of that.

Anyways, this episode focuses on the lolitastic yandere Mayoi, coupled with her own OP (Kaerimichi by Emiri Katou) . The whole episode delves into your psychedelic souljam type imagery which basically covers up them walking, talking, and wasting 30 minutes of your time. What do we learn here? Senjougahara hates kids, Mayoi deserves to be beaten up for a good reason, and Araragi still showing off his vampire powers. After wandering around and getting lost, they finally consult the priest-like guy Meme for help. Why don’t they just do that in the beginning? Sheesh. Only a few more things to wrap up and we’re done with this arc.

Canaan – She was kawaii too before, you know.

Who can resist surprise buttsecks from Yunyun.

More fighting, more character development, and a little more about Canaan’s past. I’m still stumped at why Maria even got shocked or surprised in the first place if she’s so forgiving in the end. Taxi driver makes a not-so-epic appearance, but glad to see he’s still getting some screen time. This was too much of a Maria guilt trip episode. Stop it with the yuri undertones already. We also get a little more informed about Yunyun and her background so we know she’s not just your ordinary job hopping stalker girl. Hopefully jumping back into the action next week.

Gendai Mahou – /wristing and near dropping.

When was Koyomi a yuri.

Any more yuri, time paradoxes, explaining a paradox with another paradox, and I’ll be hating on this show pretty soon. One more episode to impress, Gendai Mahou. Don’t watch this week’s episode and heed my advice. It saves all the trouble of getting even more confused. Can this show get any worse? Do I really have to take another look at Kanamemo so soon?

Sora no Manimani – Oh, so touching…so pretty…so nostalgic…

Truly touching…

Ah, I remember the last time I went to a planetarium. If only it were so touching and so romantic….the memories. More glomping, comedy, and truly “spitting-out-the-milk” moments, but I can see that this will end well. Screw the student council wanting to disband this club. The imagery is really nice near the end. I love it. The planets…>w< Ok, I’m done recalling my childhood astronomy memories now.

Princess Lover – All about Seika

More tsundere Seika and how she’s rich, rich, rich. Yaaaaaaawn.

More backstory on Seika and how she’s rich and has rich parents, and has a styling job. The good thing is that we finally have more time to understand why Seika loves Teppei besides the stupid flashbacks from before. Also Teppei gets to try a sweet new test bike that doesn’t tip over, like those Japanese tip-over thingies that auto correct itself. If you want to know all about her and her family’s history, then by all means. Otherwise, not much to see here. What I DO want to point out is this:

This glowing, poisonous like mucus that can form rainbows. Creepy, freaky, and kind of neat. Beware.

Needless – Spoilers ahead, but who cares

No, you silly weeaboo, it’s not an episode impression. I’m done with those for this anime. But notice the green haired girl who only gets like one episode of screen time? Who could it be? Well, in the words of Asheren, prepare to either go HNNNNNGGG~ or be stunned.

It’s. Freaking. Cruz. What. The. F***. Lolicious. No wonder he she’s such a wuss and can’t do anything. According to my little Japanese knowledge, it’s apparently memory loss or a secret or something. A part of the Girls Brigade? Who knows. Apparently it’s not getting animated as I’ve heard, so damn it. Although now I shall follow the manga veryyyyy closely. Btw, is his her name actually Yamada? LOL.

tl;dr? T_T. I tried to condense it. Fall 2009 impressions post that actually is more than 5 sentences long to come.
