takashichea (Level 21)
Welcome to the weekly Sket Dance report! I'm Taka, a member of Team W.I.K.I. Nation who works on Sket Dance wiki project. Last week's episode is fairy interesting because we got a new character, Koma, who have communication problems and goes berserk whenever she gets embarrassed, and the Sket Dan had another romance request.
In this episode (54: Get the Fortune Teller!), it's a full story involving Reiko and a certain fortuneteller.
Plot
When Hime and the others go to Reiko to get their fortune read, they find out that Reiko's methods are a scam due to Himiko Minakami's teachings. Switch and the Sket Dan crew challenge Himiko Minakami to a showdown where they will attempt to prove that her fortune telling is a scam in front of her followers.
Can Switch and the others defeat Himiko Minakami at her own game?
Verdict
Beware of spoilers!
Good
- Switch and Reiko have another lovely story in this episode, and the last time was the Otaku and Occult. It's good to see their rivalry again.
- Shinzo tries to hit on Saaya and Kumi. I don't know if he was following samurai conduct in his romance quest.
- Sasuke's surprise is excellent. I looked at his eyes and thought it was strange. It's great to see the twins tackling another job together. I can't believe he didn't understand Switch's rivalry with Reiko. After all, he and Bossun are in the same boat.
Bad
- There is nothing bad to report. I haven't read the manga to see which adaptation did the story better.
Bizarre
- Emphasis on Saaya:It's strange to see Saaya in this episode and how she claims she doesn't have anyone in mind she likes.
- Cellphone addict: Shinzo is too attached to his smart phone. Despite the samurai's frugal way of living, he is such a contradiction. That's the quirkiness behind him.
- Switch's personality: Switch is serious in this episode when you usually see him doing silly things throughout the series.
Overall, this episode is great and a good change in flow of the normal stories we are treated. There a lot of two story style episodes. It's nice to see a change and a whole episode showcasing another interesting pair, Reiko and Switch. Plus, Switch takes the serious role in this episode instead of the silly personality. This makes the episode stand out.

Overview
Welcome to Guilty Crown report! I'm sorry for the late reports. Let's discuss episode 19, Rebirth: Atonement.
Plot
Haruka originally planned to kill Mana, but she was not there. After Keido had shot Haruka, she escapes with the Void Genome with Seiga pursuing her. With Seiga slaughtering Funeral Parlor troops, it appears that Seiga will claim the Void Genome from Ayase until Shu arrives.
What will Shu do and what are Keido/Gai's plans?
Verdict
Beware of spoilers!
Good
- Heroic Sacrifice: Oogumo is a cool character and soldier to the very end. He sacrificed himself to save Haruka. I didn't expect Seiga to kill him.
- There is more back story on Haruka and Shu. We learned that Haruka is not Shu's real mother. I'm glad that they focus some attention on Haruka.
- When Shu got his powers back, the ambient music and Shu's new Void make this the best scene that get the fans to cheer on Shu. Shu avenges Oogumo by taking down Seiga.
Bad
- For new people who are not accustomed to the bloodshed, Seiga's no mercy scenes in killing a woman and Oogumo can be a little disheartening.
- Shibungi's back story didn't provide enough details on his relationship with Gai. Hopefully, we get to hear some information.
Overall, this episode is great because Shu is somewhat a man that holds the tremendous burden of everyone. He took Souta's cancer and prepares to risk his own life to save everyone. This is a true king unlike Gai who has become cold and ruthless. The fights and the flow of events are excellent.

Overview
Welcome to the 1st weekly review of Rock Lee & Ninja Pals! I'm doing this because this episode is pretty good unlike the first episode.
Plot
When Rock Lee fails to get Sakura to like him, he asks Neji and Tenten for love advice. Using Tenten's advice, he plans to make a good impression and woo her. In the second story, Rock Lee sneaks a love letter into Sakura's handbag, and when Rock Lee and Naruto find out that Sakura has someone else's letter, they go out to destroy it.
Can Rock Lee and Naruto do it?
Highlights
Beware of spoilers!
Good
- Rock Lee's attempts to get Sakura's love ended hilariously. I love how Rock Lee mistakenly bitch slap Sakura when he got his hands stung.
- Rock Lee and Naruto's attempts to get the letter are great. I liked the Kill Bill inspection scene, and how they mistakenly think Sakura's panties was actually a stomach wrap.
- The Korean fan girls scene is pretty adorable, and I couldn't stop laughing how Neji and Rock Lee talked about their favorite Korean drama stars.
Bad
- There's not much bad stuff to report in this episode. There are no overused gags in this one unlike the first episode's "poopy" scene or fan disservice.
Bizarre
- Neji keeps wearing girl costumes, and every time I see him, he looks like a real girl! I felt bad for him, but it is so god damn amusing.
- A lot of Naruto and Rock Lee's plans are pretty strange especially when Naruto wears a sun costume and tries to make Sakura sweat. I wonder why Sakura didn't notice him.
Thank you guys for reading this strange weekly report. I had no idea that I was going to do a report on this series, but I watched the episode with my little brother as I worked on Fairy Tail Ep. 126's report. I got hooked on the 2nd episode. Overall, this episode is great because of Rock Lee and Naruto's attempts to win Sakura's love.

Overview
Welcome to the weekly Fairy Tail report! I'm Taka, an avid Fairy Tail fan and part of the wiki editing coalition here on Anime Vice. Last week, we had our first filler episode to cushion the story before it reaches the manga's storyline. This week, we have an episode with a bit of a Rave Master influence. Sadly, Haru and the gang are not here for total crossover. No, we get a visit from the Jiggle Butt Gang. Prepare yourselves for this crazy yet disgusting episode.
Check out episode 126's The Truly Evil Jiggle Butt Gang's Image Gallery!
Plot
Wendy and her group take up a job to guard a freight cart of gold as it reaches its destination. When the Jiggle Butt Gang arrives and takes Wendy hostage and control of the situation, Lucy and her group are booted off the train; Natsu is incapacitated due to motion sickness. It is up to Wendy to save the day.
Verdict
Beware of spoilers!
Good
- Wendy gets the spotlight in this filler for the second time. Even though she didn't beat up the bad guys, she got her own lackeys.
- Despite how nasty the jiggle butt gang and their farts, I got a few laughs about their stupidity.
- True to Their Roots: The bandits still love Plue and will not change their life of crime. For you Rave Master fans, I recall the bandits almost gave up a life of crime to be with some rich ladies. However, they didn't do it. With Wendy, they are still thieves.
Bad
- The butts are nauseating to look at and hard to avoid.
- Many fans call this episode the worst one in the whole series. I agree with them.
Bizarre
- I wonder why Wendy can't wake up Natsu or drop him off outside or why can't Wendy take out the bandits. I can't blame Wendy because she's a total softie.
- I love Wendy's facial expression when she wore that Jiggle Butt Bandit's outfit.
- Wendy is the official Fairy Tail recruit officer, and I have no idea where she pull out the Fairy Tail guild brochure.
Overall, this episode is hit or miss with the fans. I kept watching it because of Wendy. I just close my eyes every time those bandits farted.

Overview
Welcome to Sket Dance weekly report! Last week's episode had a new character called Saaya Agata and a new pet, Hosuke. It was the first time we had a female tsundere character in the show to bash the trope. We are left with the impressions that Saaya likes Bossun, and Bossun has now four potential love interest, Hime, Roman, Saaya, and Ayano.
Plot
It starts with Fumi bringing Koma to the Sket Dan to help her. Koma's request is about a boy named Urehara who confessed to her. She asks the Sket Dan to give her advise on how to handle the situation given her monstrous strength that she uses whenever she gets embarrassed. In the second story, Dante asks the Sket Dan about a certain girl, and Koma comes to them about a certain boy later. The two have a crush on each other?
Can Sket Dance help Koma and Dante with their love problems?
Verdict
Beware of spoilers!
New Character
Koma is a big girl who has monstrous strength. She is a shy girl who whispers, and she is good at doing Sengoku impressions. Another interesting fact is that she wears a very heavy vest. I have no idea why.
Good
- It's funny that Dante and Koma both have communication problems making this episode a light-hearted romantic comedy.
- This is the first episode where Bossun suffers the most bodily injuries due to the "Koma cannon!"
- Dante's words always confuses the Sket Dan and leads to misunderstandings and more pain for Bossun.
Bad
- Fan Service: For those who hate fan service, this episode is the first one to show cleavage. What was the point of showing Ayumi and Hosuke at the hot springs? Personally, I don't think Sket Dance need fan service to boost ratings.
- Plus, they emphasized Koma's bust and butt in one scene.
Bizarre
- Hosuke imitating Dante is pretty strange since you would expect a parrot to do it.
- The only time Roman was good at drawing (in this episode) is when she draws a wall to cover the hole.
- Many Crunchyroll users mention that Saaya's method of stalking is a reference to Snake's method (from Metal Gear Solid) via the "box."
Overall, this episode is great and shows how love can ruined to due poor communications. Sket Dan is all about romance issues. That's an awesome advice.
