The World God Only Knows Season Finale: God Mode On!
This isn’t as much a finale as it is a transition from season 1 to season 2, so aside from some much appreciated characterization for Keima and the God-like gaming skills, there really isn’t much to say apart from the game nerd awesomeness of Keima and Elsee’s fruitless attempts to get him out of his sanctuary.

Yosuga no Sora Finale: Where We Are Least Alone
It is highly probable that in the past, incest wasn’t very much a frowned upon relationship. It does sort of depend on what degrees of blood relations qualifies as such, but in the past even the monarchies of Europe practiced intermarriages within cousins within the ruling class. Perhaps this might go even further than that before the acceptance of a concept known as morality. I still believe that in the dawn of humanity incest was likely prevalent when we as a species were but a few thousand strong, in order to keep the species alive.
Incest as a global taboo really became widespread when long distance communication, and thus the exchange of ideas, propagated. We now live in a world where it is generally not accepted. What then would become of this incestuous love between Haru and Sora as their tale comes to a close?

The World God Only Knows Flag 11: Let It All Out
If you never speak your mind, then how are you supposed to try and make people understand? Being all quiet and shy about things clearly doesn’t help, and when you have something you really think is worth fighting for, then you really need to let the world know just what it is you want to say.
Standing in the library, Shiori’s inability to speak has led her to do all sorts of crazy things. If only she had the courage to try and speak, then people would have understood.

Yosuga no Sora Ep11: There Is No Turning Back
And today the brother and sister have breached the point of no return. The deed is done and… being done at least twice a day from what I gather. Behold carnal pleasure and all that. I just assume they know what they’re doing or at least some of it, so maybe I can assume that for the most part the entire taboo issue of their relationship has sunk in and that they are willing to accept the outcomes of their choices.
And for god’s sake use a condom Haru!

The World God Only Knows Flag 10: The Voice Inside
When I have kids, I’ll make it a point that they learn how to read books before they learn to read anything else. Call it a personal bias, but few other modes of communication has shaped the world as much as the printed word has, and the ability to replicate and transport ideas beyond mere sound and into reading has shaped the world in ways few appreciate. Everything began when humanity first spoke and wrote things down.
I thus concur with at least 80% of what Shiori says. Heck I HATE it when people write on books. I don’t even highlight my textbooks.

Yosuga no Sora Ep10: When I Think About You I Touch Myself
I reiterate my previous assertion in Animesuki that they would never have censored Sora’s breasts if they weren’t related. It’s very plausible to say that they only did it because of the incest theme, otherwise if she was any other girl we’d have seen her in her full naked glory.
That or they’re saving the goods for the DVD release.

Amagami SS Ep21: The Fading Facade
Yeah, the reason why I didn’t blog this last week was that I didn’t really approve of the ending. Rihoko got the really short of the stick in her arc. Even though such an ending was really expected given the entire approach of the arc itself, Rihoko got nowhere as close in 4 episodes that the other girls got in their first ones. You gotta feel bad for her.
Well anyway time for the final arc and the final girl, Ayatsuji.

The World God Only Knows Flag 8: Dragon-Eating Cake
Apparently I was mistaken last week thinking Shiori would start this week. This week’s episode instead is the Cake episode, with alterations here and there, so it sort of counts as filler at least more so than the broken game episode that was episode 4. Nothing really happened here for me much, it was actually my least favorite part of the manga so… well there’s really nothing to say about it since it really is just filler.
At least Keima’s mom is the MILF of 2010.
Yosuga no Sora Ep8: Once You Pop You Can’t Stop
If you’re going to do it in the middle of your living room, I think it’s best to make absolutely sure that there’s no one else in the house who’s:
1. A clingy sister who gets off while thinking about you.
2. Completely fucking hates your girlfriend.
3. Isn’t likely going to want to jump in and join the two of you.
Sadly these things didn’t pass through Haru’s horny manhood, which leads him to have his loins busted by Sora who promptly throws Nao out of the house. While we didn’t see the conclusion of their carnal relations, we got some pretty good character development in the process.

The World God Only Knows Flag 7: The Shining Star
I think it’s too easy to just say that Kanon’s starved for attention. She could be called selfish and histrionic, going bananas when people don’t look at her or don’t notice her, feeling like she’s sinking into the background. There are many stars and idols who live for the spotlight, always wanting all eyes on them. Kanon isn’t that much different, but for all different reasons. Having lived in the shadow of her former group mates, she’s been struggling to find her time in the limelight amidst the pressures of life and her career. She has to carry on by herself.
It’s actually pretty easy to get depressed.
