... I don't see anything about Les Diaboliques or Ghost: Phantom of Daten City.

HeartCatch Precure episode 3:

It was pretty good. It seems to be doing the same thing Gaim did, and just introduce other heroes (or Precures in this case) early on. I do wish that Blossom had a bit more time to shine before Marine debuted, but I'll see where it goes with having the main and the secondary this early on.

Kill La Kill 08. Other than episode four, which was basically filler anyway, I think this is the first episode I'm unhappy with.

Gamagoori is badass, with his whole two stage transformation, but did they really need to make him into some pervert was masochist powers that orgasm into a second stage transformation? There are lots of moment in this series where it feels "try hard" but usually the strength of the show is that they're able to reign it in, and make it work, but this is the first time where it simply felt too much, too silly and ultimately fell flat.

Les was good, but Ghost was gross. It was funny, but gross.

Kill la Kill 09.

Still not feeling Gamagoori, the way he has no consistent scale, his bondage powers, the lame barely animated fight - about the only satisfying part of this episode was his take down. Both because it was an epic moment of Ryuuko but also because it means Gamagoori is out of the way for a while.

The scaling with Gamagori bothers me so much. It pretty much only gets worse as the series goes on.

I get that this show is pretty cartoony anyway, but the scaling thing with him is really pointless and just makes the show feel cheap.

I'm guessing now is a good time to start Kill La Kill since its last episode is today?

More Samurai Flamenco!

Good god this show is awesome and keeps making such dramatic shifts that it's pure genius. Absolutely love the turn of the Prime Minister with every arc too. This show has gone from Local Hero, to Kamen Rider, to Super Sentai, to I don't even know what now and it continues to be immensely entertaining.
