To Aru Kagaku no Railgun episode 2

A cameo of our favorite misfortunate chick-magnet esper is the starting point of this episode, complete with Mikoto trying to fry him yet again (just to fail). On a completly unrelated note...

Kuroko is made of win. Shame her magnificent plans always get ruined by some "unfortunate" coincidence. In this case, Saten and Uiharu.
That doesn't stop her from being bold or shamelessly misunderstand things and comparing them to Casablanca in her mental theatre. Though I have to admit her choice of underwear is really skimpy, that doesn't reflect on the awesomeness of her existance and contribution to all fanservice fans out there. I mean, do you know anyone that actually orders a love potion from a specialized company and plans out a written schedule to try and get "intimate" with her friend? No? Thought so.

Still, she really got forgotten quickly. Ah~... I guess she's that kind of person that people unpurposly ignore when they start speaking with others. Kinda makes me pity her a bit. And she gets happy with so little too. ^^
Masochist and extra perverted Kuroko enhanced by aphrodisiac is win too. XD

Kampfer episode 2

I really pity Natsuru. The girl he likes just confessed to him, and he can't accept the confession because:
1) Natsuru doesn't want her to get involved with the kampfers
2) He wants her to fall in love with his boy self, not his girl self

It's really an interesting setup he's got here. Oh, and did I mention there's a badass student council president? Female student council presidents may be a very overused (nevertheless awesome) sterotype, but they always kick ass. Especially when they give more trouble to the protagonist. In this case, by transfering him to a girls-only school and forcing him to be in his girl-self all the time. Oh joy.

Honestly, I'm only watching this for the laughs, but I admit, it might have a shred of potential.

Fullmetal alchemist 25 and 24

Ok, there were mainly two things about episode 24 that made me unsettled. Firstly, how freaky Glutony's true form is, and secondly Envy's freaking manipulative nature which explores people's weaknesses. Oh how I hate him.... Seriously enough, it was a fairly good episode, with some of the highlights being Roy trying to save the day only to realise his flames were useless and start running away, and Roy being shrugged off by everyone, being repetedly told he's useless. Ed, Lin and Envy all got swallowed up by Glutony, unfortunately.

Episode 25 was richer in character development from Mei. It surprised me that this episode had an even freakier bit than the previous one. The revelation of Envy's real form was really well-done. The escalating dark music, and the art then was really top-notch and it fit very well. That said, I'm a bit surprised that the studio producing the anime rendered Envy's true monstruous self as a 3D model resembling 2D, and his scenes included both that model and actual 2D sequences. Not complaining though, it was awesome.
I seriously wasn't expecting that all of the generals in central were already aware of Wrath's plans and the fact that he's already an hommonculus. Not just that, he had already planned ahead, and separated Roy's entire squad, sending them all to different military outposts, and Liza to Central as his assistant.
Both episodes were good, but I much prefered episode 25.
