Changing seasons
That is, changing a long string of weak seasons into a strong one!
(running behind because I had to clean house for guests)
S-Rank Daddy’s Girl, episode 5
Enter The Loli! In which it’s all fun and games until someone looses the plot. Our Favorite Dad pays the price for his failed attempt at stern parenting, and then goes on a leisurely trip with Our Adventure Gals to visit Our Noble Sisters, while the power of loli stirs up unrest. Next week, action!
Verdict: a light-hearted transition episode. If you were wondering who three of the chibis were in the ED animation, now you know. Bonus points for Helvetica refusing to give up easily.
(No new fan-art for this show, so here’s an elf who likes bone. I had hot elf chicks on my mind because there are two of them in book 10 of this series, which came out this week; only one of them has boobs even vaguely competitive with Arianne, though, and she will not be appearing this season. Or dressing like Arianne.)
Frieren, episode 8
Fun fact: Our Villainous Villain Lügner shares his voice with Our Favorite Dad. Watching these two shows back-to-back was a little disconcerting.
This week, Frieren’s little smile says an awful lot about what she thinks of her party’s potential. What she doesn’t tell them says something about caring enough to not make them worry about where’s she’s going while they’re off dealing with the threat they know about.
Verdict: aaaaah, that’s the spot. Right there.
(this one needs an “Ex Libris” caption…)
Honou No Haramase Dosanko-Gyaru?
ANN links to two teasers for an upcoming winter harem anime about Gals in Hokkaido who gather around our recently-transplanted Tokyo Potato-kun.
I would swear on a stack of titty-mags that they hired the staff of SQUEEZ (NSFW!) to produce the teasers, if not the actual show. That is, the music and character-introduction style are straight out of a hentai game, and there’s at least one SQUEEZ-scale bust; it’s just missing the nipples, and you know how stingy they can be about that these days, until the Bluray release.
(unrelated cute dragonette foodie is probably not from Hokkaido)

I broke down and bought the Bluray of Immoral Guild, because for all that it’s a trash-tier ecchi harem comedy, Our Frustrated Hero is actually a decent guy who cares about His Constantly-Molested Companions, and there’s some actual character development in their relationships, especially between him and Our Remarkably Busty Separated-MILF Guild Receptionist.
(the receptionist is married to perhaps the stupidest man in their universe, who ran out on her as soon as she had the kid, and in fact only slept with her once, a fact that runs through her head when she ends up in Accidental Cowgirl position atop Our Stiffened Hero while wearing nothing but a men’s white shirt)
(her 11-year-old remarkably busty daughter, who very deliberately dressed her that way, walks in on them and shouts “make me a little brother!”)
The Bluray uncensoring mostly consists of nipples and how monsters suck on them, but there are also more close-up panty shots (and how monsters infiltrate them), and a few scenes that I think were added or redone. For instance, I don’t remember the pure-souled priestess recreating one of her molestations at home by experimenting with auto-asphyxiation while humping her magic staff; if that was in the broadcast version, it must have been heavily censored.
I agree, but not the way they think…

Starfield landing issue
It seems I misdiagnosed the problem in the Freestar Ranger quest where your ship lands about 5 kilometers from the target. It is sending me to an unrelated Point Of Interest, but that’s not the actual problem:
My ship’s too big to fit on the landing pad.
If you stick to the starter ship or another small fighter-type, you get to land near your target. If you acquired something relatively large, you’re forced to land waaaaaaaay the hell out in the boonies. But your quest marker still says “land at X” until you walk right up to it; the left hand isn’t on speaking terms with the right.
(I learned this while experimenting with minimalist ship design; the UI for the ship editor is horrible even by Bethesda standards, so it takes a while to get a handle on it, and you have to travel to multiple shipyards to get all the good parts)
Glasses Girl…
Dear Coco, while I’m definitely interested in girls wearing glasses, it had never occurred to me to specify where (site NSFW and filled with obnoxious Javascript):
