Oh yeah, the "magical girls die over and over" episode. Don't worry though, I'm sure things will get worse. I'm not counting on them getting better after that, though, but we'll see (any ending that isn't really tragic one would be great... but I'd be pretty surprised to see it. Probably not going to happen.).
Oniichan no koto... 10 - Best episode of the series yet? Maybe not quite, but it was close, really funny stuff here... so we meet two new characters, a probably insane girl who does cosplay and is looking for lowlife scum (ie otaku) to ... um, be her boyfriend, or save the world from evil, or something, I'm not so sure she has a good grip on reality. She finds the AGE Explorers. That put her in good company in this series, they're all insane... She has a twin sister, too, who is trying to oppose her, for whatever reason. Some parts of this episode were just hilarious. I wonder though, are the two of them crazy, or is the show taking a sci-fi twist... I'm assuming the former, it would make the most sense considering what show we're talking about, and it certainly does put some effort into trying to convince us that she's nuts. It could be all a deception, though! (Okay, probably not.) Anyway, the sister tries hard to dissuade the AGE Explorers, by threatening them with "all the girls in school will wear jersey pants under their skirts", which scares the other three off... but not our hero, he goes anyway, followed by his sister and childhood friend as always. That he still doesn't know anything about his sister, or the childhood friend's, actual natures is fairly amusing... and what the new girl wanted him to do was kind of funny too. For the first time though, the story didn't end with this episode, it continues next time... leaving us with one final shot, the new girl's sister coming onto our main character's sister, apparently. Huh, so there might be yuri too now? Why not. I wonder though, is the first new girl a new harem member, or an enemy our main character will need to be rescued from... instead though, I predict they go in some completely random new direction. Seems likely, with how the show has been so far.
Oh yeah, the next episode preview. Name of the next episode, supposedly: "Calling Out to My Brother from the Center of the World". I know what that name's a reference to, are all the names references and I hadn't noticed or just this one?
It does have blatant fanservice scenes as usual, which probably were some of the weaker parts of the episode, but the overall episode was just really funny.
So yeah, overall, :lol
