Maria, you’re not helping things around here. Seriously. Neither are you, Shaft.

WTF! Damn i didn’t see that, A second season of PaniPoni would be pretty nice. and hey how about doing a more elaborate review of this eps, I would love to read it.
I’ll stick with meido Maria. She claims she is 17, but she’s had to have had a birthday during the series/manga run, thus making her a “legal” 18. Plus I know she (or at least her VA) can do a great evil laugh.
Isn’t it because she bought a male student’s birth certificate in the first season, hence she is “legally” a boy?
Though whether Maria is a boy or girl doesn’t matter. They’d both have DFCs.
(I’m so broken)
Gotta be kidding me…. in what context was this said? Zetsuboshite!!! NO subs have left me in despair……Are you telling me no one noticed ‘Mario’s’ ‘friend’ during the whole Onsen episode?
Zetsubou fight!
Betcha that this was SHAFT poking fun at the whole trap issue.
Maria’s so crazy, I just don’t believe anything that comes out of
hisher mouth anymore.And seconded for jason to write up on ZSZS.
Yandere Kafuka freaked me the fvck out.
But at least there was plenty of schoolgirl flesh out on display, so it’s all cool.
>> Gotta be kidding me…. in what context was this said?
The context was “May Exposure” or how how things reveal their true character in May.
Chiri’s rampages in episodes 8 and 9 were, uh, interesting… of course we’ve seen glimpses of this before and OPs and EDs have suggested this behaviour way back in first season.
The just released fansubbed for episodes 8 & 9 contain some real WTF moments, this was just one of them. Thankfully it was just an imaginary sequence by the sensei.
Can I also say that Kafuka has gone from waifu material to “oh s**t, run, run as fast as you can” off the chart scary.
Come on now. This “boy” thing is more or less a result of her buying that guy’s identity. So legally she’s male, but she’s biologically female (otherwise they would have noticed something in the onsen ep).
On a side note, can anyone explain the video game thing in episode 9? I didn’t really get the reference (although it was pretty funny).
Also a second season of Pani Poni Dash! would be nice (I didn’t catch that when I watched the episode), if only for more Becky. And Rei. And Kurumi.

Really? I find her and Chiri to be better now (more deliciously insane while simultaneously scaring the sh** out of me). Maybe I’m just broken though…
I’m always looking forward to more Shaft series. I’m broken for them the way most of this blog’s readers are for Mako-cakes.
>> Can I also say that Kafuka has gone from waifu material to “oh s**t, run, run as fast as you can†off the chart scary.
She’s been that way from the beginning of the first series, it was just slightly more subtle. Remember her dolls at Kiri’s house? Or her staredown with the cellphone girl? Or pretty much any sentence she says ever? It’s what makes her so great.
*UCK YEAH PANI PONI 2!
I love the whole Chie sensei- ‘The truth is i have a husband….3 actually’ I knew she couldn’t be single…. O well, guess im left with Haruka is amazing and Nekomimi Meido Maria… :-( … Nurse Chie was my favorite though….
Only the warped people focused on Maria saying she was a boy on a technicality…. Us sane people realized we have lost some truly epic Melonpan and Tsun character to a polygamous end… OTL
Superb! Just perfect

I may be warped, but was Shana S2 really worth watching? I kind of dropped it after episode 6 (it’s currently sitting on my HDD). Considering what happens in the novels, I wouldn’t expect a different end for the season (but this was probably made worse by J.C. Staff’s awesome choice of direction).
B-B-B-Broken! B-B-B-Broken! B-B-B-B-Broken!
Chie-sensei has three husbands? Dang, she’s good.
I guess this leaves me with the Hikkikomori Waifu… and I couldn’t be happier. Well, unless it was her and Chie-sensei. Or her and Minami Haruka. Or her and Minami Haruka and All-Woman Mikuru. Or her and Minami Haruka, All-Woman Mikuru, and post-timeslip Chiaki and Touma and…
…
Yup. Broken.
Hi all,
Broken? More like “rend asunder”!
Haha
Waterfall
No, Broken is what I’ll be if I get the Kiri wife, the Chie-sensei waifu, the Minami sisters waifu (two of three), a Minami Touma waifu, All-Woman Mikuru waifu, Miyuki waifu….
I watched Otome wa Boku, and was not broken.
I could not watch Miname-ke, and was not broken.
I didn’t bother watching Okawari and was not broken.
I thought the trap in Moyamishon was really ugly, and was not broken.
I quit watching H20 before the trap was revealed, and was not broken.
Tonight, I loaded up an old classic for the first time: Ranma 1/2.
NOW I’m broken, dammit! (But does it count if he really turns into a girl?)
You know you could go underground Mormom and have all those waifu…techincally speaking I mean.
Don’t be ashamed Ubu megumi san is the ultimate trap. lets be honest cats tongue was the best Ranma 1/2 storyline cause he couldn’t change back… oh if only Akane had realized she’s ac/dc for ranma the latter seasons could have been saved from too much damn haposii. *kyotoani for Ranma 1/2 remake?*
“You know you could go underground Mormom and have all those waifu…techincally speaking I mean.”
If such a “ranch” existed somewhere in Utah I’d by a plane ticket straight away.
I say there should be a Haesslich broken option in the poll, sure it would only have one vote…. but that one vote out weighs the rest of ours for relevancy… XD
Don’t worry Haes… if It was possible to wife up cartoon characters the likes of Medio Maria, Hikki Kirir, Abiru, CHie, Mikiru, and Tsuryua-tan.. I’d be broken long time , but alas i try to keep my fantasies to a minimum…. >_>
We should have a poll for most wifu-ble ‘character’…. Belldandy would be my choice… the way the rest of you think it would be scary to see who wins… Mako-chan i think would have 9-1 odd is vegas sadly….>_<
Kaze: Yeah, I keep having this thought run through my head: “So, Akane, what you’re saying is you’d go yuri for Ranma-chan….”
You know she would ditch pig lovin for melopan in a second, and it would be the bestest ova ever.
I’d love to see Belldandy and Haruka get together to share notes and tips – and with the Kiri doing her Zashiki-Warashi impression in the corner… that would be epic, in ways which cannot be named. And I think I named Belldandy in the Repair Team a few posts back… since she’s probably one of the first manga characters I ever really encountered. And have followed ever since, even when the recent storylines have tended to flag as far as interest goes, with a few exceptions.
Alright. Show of hands.
How many of you have NOT had a good wank to girl-type Ranma.
Thought so.
BROKEN like the Carolina defense!!
I’m afraid that Ranma Saotome in ponytails never did a thing for me. Jun Watarase is much prettier and got his own part in Re-licks and an OVA, so that’s more my style of broken.
Re-lucks, even. I mean, he was popular enough that they gave him a path, including HCG’s for both ‘Jun as a girl’ and ‘Jun as a guy’ H-scenes. I’m sorry, but Ranma has nothing on that… or at least, not for me.
a quick look at the wiki pedias has informed of this Yun’s brokenness i shall have to give said series a try…
also…
Ranma had that potential to be hot, I think expecting really cool things that never happen is Ms. Takashi’s entire strategy now… anticipation but no release. *points at a certain other series* there’s no ending for this series. none. just shoot me.

Sorry, no hand raising here. In a series with Kasumi, Nabiki, and Shampoo, everything else just wasn’t as impressive. Although I guess lumping Manipulatrix Nabiki and Psycho Hose Beast Shampoo with Ultimate Wife Material Kasumi is its own kind of broken…
And besides, Ranma’s mom was way hotter.
quigon: Agreed – Ranma’s mom > Ranma. And I wasn’t nearly this broke until Jun Watarase came along, that beautiful, evil little boy. Or girl. Or something. Girlish figure, purple hair, playful yet forceful…
Yup, that broke a LOT of people. Enough to get Re-Lucks out there, than the (only, so far) OVA featuring his path. Seriously broke so many, many otaku.
Wow, I’m just glad that I couldn’t stand Happiness! — the animation & voices grated so, SO badly. Watching 2-3 eps was sheer torture…
There was only one thing you really needed to see – the OVA. The rest was a loss, outside of the Jun antics. Including when he taught Anri to be a waitress at the school cafe.
Basically anything not involving Jun was bad. Anything with Jun talking about being a girl was funny, since he really was better at it than any of the female protagonists.
As a particular Ranma fan, I thought I’d refuel the fire.
Takahashi doesn’t seem to do much of anything around the particular lines of moe, or if she does, it doesn’t seem to be in the particular purpose of UTILIZING the moe mode. I mean, the Ranma girls were fairly cute (and at times, this included Ran-chan), but never to an extent that, say, recent animes have caught up to.
I mean, we could easily find a few– Akane’s a staple of Tsundere, Shampoo’s got quipao, Ukyo’s got the whole “childhood friend” thing, Kodachi’s the nutball, Ranma’s… MAYBE a trap. Excluding the outside characters then, we have also seen bunnygirl mode, meido (yes, Meido– the arc in which Ran-chan fights Picolet Chardin is loaded with at least a good few), swimsuits, cat costume… a few to say the least. However, VERY FEW of them were for the purpose of inflicting specific moe, if you ask me. Some of them were appropriate for the situation (most of these maids were hired by French Royalty living in Japan– the Chardin Family, for instance), and didn’t seem to focus on the moe attraction between the reader and the character as much as it did the relationships between the characters, and the funny hijinks that the reader would like to follow.
Oddly enough, this show featured a lot of b00bage, but that was never for the sake of attraction either. In fact, the characters seem more risque at times with clothing ON. Now think about THAT for a second.
And, no, I’ve not “had a good wank” to Ran-chan. I’m TOO aware of his identity, which he even expresses IN chan-mode, to a level that nearly excludes him from Trap status on that basis alone. (I imagine the other barring factor would be that traps are still biologically, um, not as they appear. Ranma… is not the same in that sense.)
(Yeah, Ranma 1/2 is considered ‘old’ by fans that know their stuff and ‘ancient’ by the ones that only like what’s on Cartoon Network– ‘cos God FORBID the creator of their Lord-and-Savior Inu-Yasha, did something BETTER before that show!)
(…not that I have a particular opinion on that.)
