ugh, i'm sorry in advance that i'm about to be that obnoxious person, but,
himitsu no akkochan actually predates kamen rider by nearly a decade 
i haven't watched the ep yet, so i'm not sure if the episode itself implies this, or this was something that came from Lauren, but if it was implied by the show itself... woof, that's a real problem of not knowing your own history, huh? yikes. |

With that blush at the end my hopes for a Yuri ending went up.

Come to think of it, I actually do think 12-15 minute episodes would be better for this. Just about every episode has felt like it's got a bit of padding. That's not even taking into account how episode 5 felt totally unnecessary (and unfunny, but ymmv). |

I actually enjoyed the most recent episode more than anything else in the show. It had some pretty funny gags towards the end, and the sequence involving the titular magical girl(s) had some good slapstick comedy. I especially enjoyed how the little girl who gave Saki fake poop (yeah, it makes sense in context) ended up beating the snot out of the monsters as well, plus the censored Disneyland reference.

Well, not nowhere. I mean, Saki has finally, nearly, almost realized who's behind the muscle aliens, so that's a half step forward. I had feared they would leave all that to the final episode and dump it all at once. |

This might be slightly off topic, but I love Showtaro Morikubo and I am SO glad you called out his idol works! (Also STARMYU and B-PROJECT...just gotta throw those in there.) And if you happen to be playing the Utapri app on your phone or tablet, I highly recommend checking out his song on there, "Never"...I've been playing it a LOT since it came out as a special campaign song and it only has one day left (NOOOO!!!!!!!!). LOVE that song so much...his voice is adorable.
And to keep this post in topic and not a complete derailment, I thought this weeks monster was great, and I loved the 4-way magical girl attack. ...and I won't lie, I nearly spat sake all over my keyboard when Happy popped up as a head with wings...that was funny as hell to me. |

Ugh, that episode was pretty awful. All I have to add to the review is that if you're going to need to keep talking about "magical girl scouts" (and the way this is shaping up, that doesn't seem unlikely), it might be a good idea to hyphenate magical girl, because I keep picturing Girl Scouts with magic powers.
Then again, I might not be around for more. It took me 5 days to work up the mood to watch this week, and this one might've broken me. |

The moment reviewers start getting characters' names wrong, any credibility they may have had goes right out the door. |

Doh! That went right over my head.  Anyway, yes, they redeemed themselves after last week's mess, so I guess I'll stick it out to the end now. Mohiro's Disney Princess turn was pretty great.
How has Kokoro never run into Hyoue until now? Both of them always seem to be around when Mohiro is being attacked, so I didn't realize they'd been missing each other. |

If you recall whenever the 'demons' pop up Hyoue is suspiciously absent, then they call in kokoro. At least thats what i think happened, to be honest I didn't really think too much about it till now |

I really enjoyed that episode, especially the shitty animation. Like "arty" half-portrait framing of a still shot that just looked stupid, the crude tilts and pans, and things like Hyoue smirking in a medium shot, only to smash cut to him sadly frowning in closeup, and changing the art style every key frame when the girls are charging toward the portal.
But this was my favorite shot: 
There were just a lot of quick little jokes that had me laughing in the same way this got me to watch it in the first place. That's been missing for too long, so I hope they keep it up to the end now. |

Review ain't out yet, so I won't talk much. But can I just ask...am I right that that was Kisho Taniyama with Showtaro Morikubo singing during that last boss fight? That song was awesome and I want it. NAO.
Anyways I didn't always love Magical Girl Ore, but it always made me laugh at least once an episode. I'll miss you next week Ore...you were welcome each week with me. |

From the decent animation, voice work and premise, this was fine. It should have been more over-the-top. Played it pretty safe all the way to the end.

When it comes to Japanese parodies, I always expect them to play their plots by the book of their genre.
