Weekly Anime Rankings & Digest – January 16th-22th

Knowing that Milky Holmes Second Season Episode 3 won’t get released until after I published this digest, I may as well write it now.

If you heard the big news about the Internet last week, SOPA has been officially killed off for good with PIPA getting delayed indefinitely. Congress has finally listened after the unprecedented SOPA blackouts/protests by Wikipedia, Google, Reddit and the Aniblogosphere.  Although the battle isn’t over yet, these achievements are great and we should continue putting the pressure on everyone so the Internet stays open.

Also during the weekend, I worked on tweaking the theme even more and made a new header on my test site (featuring Miki Hoshii). I decided not to change the color scheme since I couldn’t come up with a better one and I felt that there is no reason to fix what’s not broken. The good news is that the header will celebrate my three years of Anime Blogging, which started back in February 17, 2009. I plan to have this up by the first day of that month. Despite these developments, you should have noticed the apparent tweaks I made to the theme such as the inclusion of number of comments/trackback in the headers. (Image Source)

Ranked Episodes

1. Amagami SS+ Plus – Episode 3

Finally, Rihoko gets the spotlight and it only looks promising because she is the most innocent girl out of the series. I found Junichi’s interest on her chest and measuring it quite amusing.  To make it funnier, her handling of the eel made me laugh a lot.  I seriously hope she gets a good ending next episode or I will rage really hard that it can become nuclear.

2. Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Episode 3

(Since this isn’t out yet, I have nothing to add as of now)

Already Ranked Episodes that I didn’t write a Commentary On

Tantei Opera Milky Holmes – Episode 2

Ranked #2

Although not on the same level as the first season yet, it couldn’t get any more insane than this: Milky Holmes eating their pet chicken, a man who looks like the Monopoly Mascot searching for his wife that wears a mask, Nero controlling the Diplomat’s pickup truck with her toys, huge whale getting beached on shore and a lot of sushi. You can get the idea of what happened just from this description. ¶
