…even her eye scanner was destructed. This episode is a parody of Dragon Ball Z, one of the favorite shounen anime way back years ago. I’m always surprised that new things pop up in every episode — like Todayama saiyan that she broke herself off the Noya faction only for them to get Izumiko as a maid. Just saiyan. Is this the end of Itsuki’s paedophilia domination? Nope, not yet. Or at least that’s what I saw in the final minutes of the episode. Yes, some characters went a la Detective Conan here after drinking a shrinking drug.

> Two spot-the-obvious-a-lots seen. *sigh of relief* tells viewers that the Todayama sisters are sh*t> Oomori-sensei shows us how to be creepy while being in-love, another meme on Japanese Animation>  K-On! (and possibly KyoAni) reference medley.> Itsuki finally gets real; thus solving the mystery. Yamamoto Jun ripoff FTW.

This episode of Ebiten is presented to you by Metal Hero fans all over Japan. And if you know Dennis Isidro, he also brought this to you (he is not aware of this though). Finally, a somewhat decent episode, talking about the Student Council president and the Asstronomy Club president’s relation to each other. They’re actually friends, and they often come to a certain place to do stuff… until the grandma who lives in that place passed away. It turns out that your tsundere Student Council president has been jealous after seeing the Asstronomy Club president and Todayama having their good time at the library. I guess this is the reason why the tsundere wants to dissolve the Asstronomy Club. On the other hand, I liked the Shaider reference Todayama did… without trap Noya, that is. I suddenly remembered how fun watching Shaider is in our local turf. I guess it can’t be helped: The sibling rivalry will be there until the end The tsundere Student Council president will always be tsundere (and a scaredy cat) Noya will be dressed according to the Todayama sister’s specs. It can’t be helped… I have to suffer watching these tropes in every Ebiten episode. To cap this off, sing with me… fushigi-shigi makafushigi ruwaaaaaa

I was fooled. I didn’t notice how trap he is. I was fooled by my mind. Mind, why you didn’t remind me of this guy named Itsuki Noya? Really, I got very aware of Itsuki as a girl. I was not able to understand the story until this episode when I saw him in his normal male uniform. @Solidad was not interested in this series so when he saw me watching this in his rig he thought of Itsuki as a Yuji everylead. …well, I have to suffer — the sibling rivalry intensifies with them bickering on who gets to bully Itsuki more. From hardcore crossdressing to really toying him. Poor guy, he had to face this before he becomes the company’s head honcho. Fist of the North Star and Strike Witches reference spotted. Imma enjoying this… one thing though — who is that guy in the ending sequence?

Enough! Enough, I say! This episode features great fanservice (cat raep, a reason why this is an Online Net Animation). The mystery won’t be even solved using intimidation, my dear. Cats as weapons. Okay. The mystery is still unsolved. Writers, do this for us: Solve the mystery before turning into the sibling rivalry part. That’s all.

Looks like Ultraman to me. Today, we’ll talk about sibling rivalries.  MFW this: Arara…rararagi? Basically, this episode narrates the older Todayama having some Alien Syndrome. I don’t get the story behind this. Did they switched off their brains in order to connect the Ultraman reference to the story in order for everybody to be happy… or it’s just me? This is inconsistent in story levels either way. Give me back the Sailor moon episode. Every episode of Ebiten has fanservice.

Ebiten turned out to be a series centric around female bodies and the underwear which covers them - and the first Blu-ray's cover of two scantily females is therefor a very fitting representation of this animation.

The look and feel of Sailor Moon is mimicked in this episode of Ebiten (of which I thought I won’t watch anymore), and I have to commend the creators of this show. Well done, guys. Most of the fans of the famous Sailor Moon (who are anticipated with the upcoming Sailor Moon 2013 / HD) will love this episode — also, we have the Small and Medium Enterprise sector as a small audience (?!) over here — Ebiten just named some valuable departments in the industry of Cosplay Shops (i.e. COSPA, Bushiroad and Good Smile Company) such as Marketing, Reception, Accountant and Sales. What if the original Sailor moon cast have seen this? Calling the attention of Chitose Sakuraba’s teacher, we need you to watch this.

Au naturel is apparently the standard of modern day 2012 - while Comptiq isn't bringing out any areola like Megami, the magazine is still meeting its competitor in the form of blatant nudity, clothing being obsolete.

A girl attempts to join the astronomy club. By winning a fighting tournament. This is another show with quirky, fast-paced humor along the lines of Seitokai no Ichizon. The only problem is that it’s not all that funny. I literally … Continue reading →

This is a season chock full of excellent series that transcend the anime medium to become something real. Who Is Imouto?, Campione, Yuru Yuri Two Eighth-Notes, and Dog Days’ are among the most well-regarded series that the summer season has churned into the audience’s collective gaping mouth; but alas, they’re simply not enough to satiate [...]

Initial impression – a random lack of focus (3/10) Summer 2012 (?? episodes – ONA) (title literal translation – Ebisugawa Public High School “Astronomical” Club) (more info) While I like the fansub group [Staircase]’s creativity in changing the Astronomy Club’s name to the Asstronomy Club (a euphemism for Assing Around) I’m starting to get sick of [...]

Hyouka 13 comes up with a mystery, but no one seems very interested in solving it. Instead we watch each lit club member do his or her own thing. That’s okay for one episode, and Ibara, at least, deserves some solo screen time and gets it, getting into a ridiculous argument with the club president [...]

Ebiten Short Synopsis: Our lead character strips innocent girls to their underwear. So, Ebiten has immediately won the “Worst character-designs of the season”-award (those eyes!), but what about the rest of the episode? Well, I guess it wasn’t that bad. Of course it wasn’t anything amazing, and don’t ask me why that one girl had [...]

  So quiet… Impressions: These ribbons are at least four or five times larger than they should be. Half the distance shots make them look like they’re wearing gigantic bowties. Which may or may not be the most amusing part of the episode. It’s a little hard to even tell what they’re trying to do [...]

A recent magazine artwork features the females of upcoming slice of life comedy, Ebiten, in what seems to be a cosplay of various other anime characters - one of which offers a fine amount of oppai exposure.

Ebiten has yet to even actually debut - however, the series is already going so far as to show us an essentially attire-free look at its pink pantsu wearing service character by means of a an ero-dakimakura.

Service packed, story absent, visual clone of Seitokai no Ichizon, Ebiten, has brought out yet another preview clip - this one highlighting the OP theme, however either way, it's not particularly captivating at all.
