“This is Capturing God Mode. There is no female I cannot capture.”

“The correct response is to kiss.”

Through the glass? Or, I guess, in this case, through the LCD panel?

“It’s been a while since Kami-sama was this creepy.”

Loved Elsie’s look as she backed out of Keima’s room. Definitely was a, “I saw something I can’t unsee” look.

(Definitely a weak filler episode. Blarg. The filler episodes are supposed to be some of the best with Keima showing off his megalomania. There’s a definitely passion lacking in the scenes where Keima should be burning with passion. Without passion, Gurren Lagann would just be Star Driver.)

One, where does Keima get the money to buy all these gal games? Two, why aren’t there (at least doesn’t seem to be) any eroges? Three, why hasn’t the Japanese authorities raided their house for suspicion of growing marijuana for all this electricity usage? Four, why hasn’t there been an OreImo x TWGOK crossover yet? Five, are there really this many gal games released in Japan?

(Needless to say, I’ve got questions.)

Wait, when did Keima start gaming? Let’s say he’s 16 and started gaming about 4. Twelve years ago would be too late for a Famicom, SNES, or Game Boy! He would have grown up on PlayStation, N64, GBA SP, and Dreamcast. I grew up on an NES… still treasure my original copy of River City Ransom, Metroid, and Dragon Warrior III. And, oddly, I don’t remember a lot of gal games for NES, SNES, or Game Boy.

Only slightly fewer haremettes popping out of monitors and mirrors than one of my typical fantasies!

(I like how the capturing BGM was playing during this scene. I think maybe it’s that Keima got captured by the games. Mmm?)

Anytime you need a DDR dance mat, a light gun, and a Power Glove to play a game, you know you have something special on your hands. Princess Derby– between its bullet hell, Excite Bike, and FarmVille moments– it looks like a winner.

(Yes, I own a Power Glove. Everything else is child’s play. Oh yeah.)

So basically, Keima has nothing but gal games, game consoles, and monitors in his room– which is exactly like my bedroom except I have monitors on the ceiling as well. Must use all available space! And I have my gal games stored in subspace. I managed to fill up Doraemon’s pocket, so now I’ve expanded into Ramona’s handbag.

“You spend all your time playing games in a dark room. When you do go outside, you stare at your PFP’s rectangular monitor. You live like a machine that does nothing but pick from lists of choices. It’s sad! It’s pitiful! It’s too dismal an existence for a youth.”

It’s a better existence than watching anime about someone playing video games and then blogging about it in a dark room. Haha! I’m actually in a brightly lit room right now, so there.

(DiGi Charat cameo?)

I like how we see Gokult lady not once but twice this episode. Gee, enough foreshadowing?

(Either they ran out of budget or the animators just said, “Fuck this, we’re going to play some Mass Effect 2” because the animation just took a terrible plunge this episode. The haremettes don’t even blink! Just a terrible job. Can we get Shaft to remake this series? I think the Capturing God scenes lend themselves to Shaft’s deft touch.)

Sorry Keima, but the princess you seek is in another castle. See you in two months.
