Today’s sunday, time for the weekly ranking.

As always, this is not overall ranking. Just a ranking based on my appreciation of the latest episode of each show.

Note that this week’s Dance In The Vampire Bund is absent from the ranking because it has been released too late. Since next week’s episode (the 8th) is supposed to be a recap episode, I guess I’ll throw episode 7 in next week’s ranking…

#1 ↑↑ Hanamaru Youchien (6)

First half was full of lulz and Yamamoto-sensei saabisu~. It was great. As for the second half… TSUNDERE BRO-CON IMOUTO KITAAAAAAAAAA !!!! What else can I say ? Satsuki is love ! Horete shimatta ! And epic Y-shirt scene at the end. That was just too awesome for words. I’m in love.

The ED was just splendid.
Cool animation and song, and it gets adorable scenes from the beginning to the end. The design reminded me AniKoi a lot (see manga category ‘Ani Koi’). If Ani Koi ever gets an anime adaptation, I hope Gainax will make it and that it will looks like this ED !

#2 ↓↓ So-Ra-No-Wo-To (7)

And so, what I feared kinda happened. War, tears, and cute girls dying. Well that was just Filicia-san’s flashback scene, but still… History repeats itself like they say, it is to be expected that our cute 1121st Platoon will eventually enter war I guess. Anyway, overally it was still a very nice episode, saved by some very moving yuriish scene at the end.

#3 〓 Chu-Bra!! (7)

This time, the episode focused mostly on the guy, but it was still full of Kiyono goodness, and more importantly (to me) Haruka being all down after that her beloved Nayu-chan received a love letter. Haruka-san, it’s about time you make your move on Nayu-chan, or else Komachi-kun will get her first ! … Maa, if it had to happen you could still take comfort in Yako-chan’s DFC though~ (personally, Kiyono x Nayu kibonnu). At the end, there was that ‘How to wear a garter belt’ section that was trying to make us think that this show is actually aimed at girls, but I hardly believe anybody fell for it.

#4 ↑↑ Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu (7)

Shouko-tan episode~. Yet again an episode in which the shoukanjuu were nowhere to be seen, means a good episode. Shouko is just too cute. I was wondering why the hell Yuuji was pushing away such a cute girl, and it started to irritate me. But we somewhat learn the reason at the end, and I must say that finally, Yuuji frikkin rocks. He’s really a cool guy. And Shouko’s fabulous smile at the end speaks for it. I totally liked how Hideyoshi (with no hairpin <3 ) took part in the whole date plan thing too. XD Surprisingly enough, quite the plotter~. IT’S ABOUT TIME WE GET A HIDEYOSHI EPISODE, DON’T YOU THINK ?

w00t new ED ! The song isn’t particularly good or anything, but yay for seifuku feast !
Also, you can really tell who is the real heroine of the show… XD

#5 ↓↓ Ladies vs Butlers (7)

To be totally honest, I can’t say this episode particularly caught my interest. I mean, all the mahou shoujo stuff. Was still a decent watch, mostly the birth of a love between two lolis was heartwarming to watch. I guess the show will be a bit better from now on, since it will stop adding new characters again and again, and will focuse more on the ones already here.

#6 〓 Omamori Himari (7)

Nothing much to say about it. Keeps becoming a bit more interesting every weeks, story-wise. Main guy still sucks as always.

#7 〓 Kimi ni Todoke (19)

Continues with Chizu’s very predictable love story (I mean, everybody guessed the whole thing about Ryu’s onii-san, right ?). Sawako is still super cute, crying over other people’s problems. Yet again no Kurumizawa. Only good thing in this episode was that I got again a bit of screentime…

So I guess we’re now halfway in this season, no ? Time for adding a Top 10 of my waifus so far (originally it was supposed to be a Top 5, but it was just too hard to choose only 5 characters XD ) ! Well, this ranking may vary a lot every weeks, depending on one character’s appearance…

Winter 2010 Waifu Top 10

#1 ↑ Satsuki Tsuchida (Hanamaru)
#2 ↓ Ume Kurumizawa (KimiTodo)
#3 ↑ Hideyoshi Kinoshita (BakaTest)
#4 ↑ Kiyono Amahara (ChuBra)
#5 ↓ Kawashiro-sensei (Hanamaru)
#6 ↓ Kaoru Daichi (LvsB)
#7 ↓ Minami Shimada (BakaTest)
#8 ↓ Noel Kannagi (SoraWoto)
#9 ↓ Kureha Suminoya (SoraWoto)
#10 ↓ Mina Tepes (Vampire Bund)

Also, came across the Spring 2010 Anime Chart recently…

Well, no need to mention that K-on!! is the show I’m looking forward the most. But for the other shows, I don’t really know…

1st pick should be : Mayoi Neko Overun and KissxSis (obligatory service fix), and Working!.

Then as a 2nd pick, maybe B Gata H Kei, Angel Beats, Arakawa under the bridge, and Yutori-chan… It will mostly depends on how many anime I can get.

I mean, if things go well for me (or rather, if I’m motivated enough), I should be in japan at the beginning of april. I should have an internet connection over there, probably better than the one I’m using now, lol. But good enough for getting anime, that is not for sure… well, as long as I can watch K-on!!…
