Let's stop a bit the episodic coverage (like most wednesday) of this packed winter anime season 2011/2012 in order to talk a bit about a anime/VN related topic I thought about in these last few days.
The focus of today's talk are the characters (mostly human beings, but sometimes robots as well) who live into each of the stories portrayed in our anime/visual novels series.
More importantly, I thought about the anime and visual novel characters who I most liked in the last couple of years and I come up with an interesting "coincidence".

Let's go talk about the seventh episode of the winter season 2011/2012 anime series named Ano Natsu de Matteru that completes the Okinawa arc giving us plenty of new info on the characters and preparing us for the upcoming drama revolving around Ichika's origin.
Yes, as Rinon promptly detected, we have a new spaceship incoming on earth and judging from the reaction of Rinon its someone hostile to Ichika's objectives. (A relative maybe?!)
Not sure about how they will play out the situation, but everything seems to configure itself in the exact same way as the Onegai Teacher series...:P

Today we'll talk about the 18th and 19th episodes of the Fall season 2011 anime series Mirai Nikki that changed drastically Yukiteru's personality and actions from a wimpy middle-schooler to a brutal murderer with no regrets.
I quite like the new Yukiteru, a lot more than his old wimpy self, even if I know that he's just getting manipulated by the hot evil Yuno (or wait was she really called Yuno in the first place?!)!
These two episodes switch the story focus from the episodic "enemy of the week/arc" to a more dynamic action battle between the few remaining diary holders.

Let's talk a bit about the seventh episode of the winter season 2011/2012 anime series Rinne No Lagrange that continues to entertain us with a greatly done mix of drama, comedy and fanservice.
They tried to save the character of Muginami (after all the hate-scenes of the last two episodes) with a greatly done space drama about a poor small loli Muginami going around with nearly no food on a dead planet only to meet Demetrius (Villagiulio).
Did they manage to make her stand again in my rankings? Yes, unfortunately I have a weak side for poor girls. Well...she's still third (Madoka and Lan are awesome), but back in the normal cast without too much extreme hate for her...:P

Let's go talk about the seventh episode of the winter season 2011/2012 anime series Nisemonogatari that finally completes Karen's arc with a rather anticlimactic ending in which Kaiki simply leaves the city without any kind of struggle against our heroes.
I was expecting Kaiki to be a real supernatural expert like Oshino, but judging from his words he is just a con-man with no powers whatsoever that doesn't even think supernatural stuff exist at all.
Well, I'm not sure if his words were truth to be honest, because this whole series is focused around "lies" and "liars". It may well be a lie to conceal his real status...
