According to 2ch, this is the best anime of the year.

and actually, I agree. I watched 6 episodes through one day, and this is single best bishoujo astral gag comedy show I've ever seen. (Tet tet teh, nandedesuka?~)

Really? Biggest surprise, definitely! Not too sure if it was the best, but it is probably just a matter of taste.
Cannot wait for next weeks show down.

Just saw episode 11.

Wow. For all the show's ability at abjectly insane silliness, it takes some actual skill to present something that's unabashedly funny yet distinctly sad at the same time. While the gang are up to their individual silliness apart, you can actually feel how destitute and rejected they after falling from grace. I was actually laughing my ass off while feeling sort of depressed for them.

The last part was pretty awesome though as they get their powers back by sheer force of... whatever that trope was. Of course now we know she did it all by an obsessive desire to beat Milky Holmes at their best, so it looks like the finale will be one big fight.

This is honestly, aside from Hakuouki season 2, the most surprising series of the season.

Serious Henriette is serious. I really hope they go all out on the animation and showcase the girls' powers for the last episode because episode 11 was such a great pre-finale set up. I have a feeling that there were a billion references in this ep that totally went over my head, such as if there was any significance/reference from Elly's tissue/magazine selling or any point to the sheryl's clothing ripping every time she walked in the ramen shop.

I was looking at the Milky Holmes page on ANN. They certainly have quite the staff working on each episode. I was really surprised.

Very nice episode. I can't wait to see the last one, with that amazing fight!

Main Characters never die, unless it's the finale. That's always the rule. =P

I could have chosen from any number of Milky Holmes/Christmas pics on pixiv to celebrate this holiest of days, but this one won out.

Twenty Christmas, everybody!

No, I didn't like it.
I was expecting a full-scale battle, and that was interrupted.
I was expecting and ending with Milky Holmes showing their full powers, and was disappointed.
I was expecting things to change in better, and they didn't change at all.

No, I didn't like it at all.

Also, Arsene is ridiculously overpowered on, being that she can materialize her thoughts.

chikorita157 · 2010-12-26, 21:17

The last episode was pretty epic... Magical Girls battling villains IN SPACE. Pretty fun too...

Also...

Spoiler for episode 12:

MeoTwister5 · 2010-12-26, 23:51

So... season 2 I guess?

kyouray · 2010-12-27, 01:39

Oh god. This battle in space was EPIC. Arsene's the star of this show (with Twenty) !

I was also expecting this, that's a shame but I didn't expect this breasts identification

This series was sure a surprise and got better and better as serenade_beta said. I'm not against a second season.

tam · 2010-12-27, 11:25

Already watched this anime series, I have to agree with everyone that have been watching this whole 12 episodes patiently and (mostly) enthusiastically, this was the most underrated and one the BEST anime that hit this season, hell even this year.

Also, has anyone notice:

Spoiler for last part - if anyone don't know about it:

I agree with that. I was patient with this and it paid off. I really enjoyed it.
As for that spoiler. When the name came up I thought it sounded familiar and checked Wikipedia. I wouldn't be surprised to see a second season.

TJR · 2010-12-27, 18:48

Seems like the game has sold 12,000 copies so far. The number isn't mindblowing, but it seems pretty decent for an original PSP adventure (without a popular writer or voice cast backing it) that no one expected to be on the radar.

If Bushiroad is doing a game sequel, we can probably expect another season of anime. Even by otaku standards, Milky Holmes will never be anything more than a cult favorite enjoyed by a small number of fans, but maybe that's all the producers expect.

Midonin · 2010-12-27, 18:56

"Cult favorite" is a great thing to be. It's what niche marketing is for, and gives the subfandom a certain sense of familiarity that broader fandom lacks.

Midonin Last Engage Join Date: Jun 2007 Location: Florida	Spoiler for Tantei Opera Milky Holmes 12 - TOYS ~The Power Cosmic~: Despite having their name in the title, the viewpoint character of this story is Henriette. At least, that's the way I view it. The final episode was suitably epic, featuring a battle that, at about the eight minute mark, became a completely different anime. But cosmic battles with superpowers, the repeating of the narration - it's cheesy, and that's exactly why I love it. Milky Holmes being Milky Holmes, it sees fit to destroy that by having the bounciness of Henriette's breasts be a plot point. That's how they finally put the pieces together. Of course, they seem pretty okay with it. If you're going to crash into the Earth with your greatest foe, at least go out happy. And then their Toys are lost again and they forget the identity of their greatest breasts foe. This was but one chapter of their life. Overall, it cannot be overstated or understated, but merely stated, how much I LOVE this show. It hits all my sweet spots. A team of four girls doing extraordinary things, classy fanservice, a complete refusal to adhere to anything resembling reality. Even when it's sad it's funny, and is it consistently funny. That it ended with the Azusa to their K-ON Club, Arty Mori, tickles the brain with potential. That dumpy attic is looking pretty nice. Once more. I LOVE THIS SHOW.

serenade_beta そのおっぱいで13才 Join Date: Dec 2006	Spoiler for final thoughts: It was... a really fun series. I mean, wow, lots and lots of laughs. Definitely reminds me of Galaxy Angel, like many have said. Of course, not completely... Galaxy Angel's OPs... It definitely started out with a weak first episode, but it got better and better. The last episode... was to be honest, a bit lacking, laughs and story. For better or worse, a new character appeared, so maybe a 2nd season or 4th season or whatever... The animation was pretty floppy, but most of the time, the anime just wrote off that problem as a gag of sorts. It works... When it isn't serious. The last episode was rather serious, so the poor drawings here were... But anyways, it was great. 10/10 It might go GA again on the games... You know... The anime and game are two completely different things, so people fooled buy the game after watching the anime and........................... __________________ -Blog --> http://tdnshumi.blogspot.com/ (Mainly about video games) -R.I.P.
