And again, I went on too long... then again, I have always liked detail (you know, due to college paper requirements). Anyways, also reminding that GitS night at the Tram is end of this month, but onto the newsletter

Claymore 8- With Priscilla powered up, she goes on the attack against Teresa, but runs into problems as Teresa easily fends her off, and then walks away. The other tell Priscilla to give it up… but by now Priscilla has a one-track mind. One of the Claymores also realize that though Priscilla has great potential, she’s still just a child and is emotionally unstable, as Priscilla goes after Teresa. The other claymores follow, and thus a battle on the outskirts of town occurs. Priscilla draws upon more power to fight Teresa, and still doesn’t manage to win. She ends up going past the point of no return, and Teresa offers to end her life while Priscilla still has shreds of humanity. Priscilla lays down her sword so as to apparently let Teresa take her out… but in a moment of betrayal, Priscilla grabs her sword and beheads Teresa in a flash. This is the final nail in the coffin, and Priscilla mutates into what is known as an Awakened Being (or Voracious Eater). The other claymores attempt to take her out, but are no match for Priscilla, and are soon killed, as Priscilla walks past Clare (who’d been watching this from the sidelines), wanting to eat some guts, Clare crying as she holds Teresa’s head.
Slayers TRY 22- The battle for the final weapon continues, as Golden Dragons head to the temple to stop something from occurring. This something would be disturbing the resting place of said final weapon, especially when none other than the Supreme Elder himself shows up to protect the barrier, also revealing that he knew it was there the whole time. Xelloss pops in and takes Filia hostage, demanding the barrier is lowered, else he’ll kill Filia. The problem is, this doesn’t faze the Elder at all, and he tells Filia the opposite of what the Ancient Dragons revealed, and she doesn’t buy it. He then reveals that the barrier can only be taken down by those of Ancient Dragon decent in the first place. Even so, a fight between him and Xelloss occurs, and Xelloss tricks the Elder into using Holy Magic against his own Dark magic. Meanwhile, Lina and co. have seen the swarm of dragons, who are being taken out by the two less-than-peaceful gods, and they learn the dragons will give their lives to protect the final weapon. Lina and co. also go to where the others are, and before Xelloss can use the combination of Dark and Light magic to undo the barrier, Lina steps on him. To further take care of him, Amelia, Gourry and Zel use the psychology of good life on him, rendering Xelloss powerless. Lina uses the Ragna blade to cut through the barrier, and thus obtains the final weapon, which Almace immediately demands she hands over. She uses it against him once as a warning shot, and tells him to back off... then Almace is betrayed by his two comrades, and to put the icing on the cake, Xelloss manages to recover for a long enough time to KO Lina and steal the weapon himself.
Fate/Stay Night 2- When Shiro is told by a friend that another classmate of his is acting slightly strange, he decides to go investigate things himself, but doesn’t get very far. The rumor is that said classmate was rejected by Rin, and is trying to build up his “manliness” by surrounding himself with women and making other boys look bad. When school ends, Shiro also becomes a softy and takes over cleaning of the dojo for the classmate. Since he’s inside, Rin and Archer think the grounds are clear, and they begin a battle against Lancer. The problem is, Shiro wonders what’s going on, and is spotted by the combatants. Lancer immediately forgets about Archer, and goes after Shiro, who runs away. Just when Shiro thinks he’s safe, but gets stabbed in the heart by Lancer. Rin takes pity on Shiro for some reason, and manages to revive him. Shiro therefore heads home… but Archer tells Rin that Lancer will just hunt him down again, and they head off to see if they can’t interfere anyways. Lancer once against finds Shiro, but this time shiro puts up a fight, though it’s a losing one. Just when Shiro is backed into a corner, before Lancer is about to kill him, a bloodstain from earlier forms into a seal on Shiro’s hand, and a Servant of his own is summoned… namely Saber, who blocks Lancer’s attack, and asks Shiro if he is her master (insert me sniping Erin for any comments of his following that question)
Tenchi Muyo GxP 11- Seina and his company nd up hunting down Ryoko (her fanboys are overjoyed), and due to their success, they receive their first paychecks. Seina doesn’t really know what to spend it on, but leave it to NB to make more than just a few suggestions. Thus Seina goes on a shopping spree for NB, who has him buying many erotic things. Kiriko and Amane end up following, and really worry when they see all that is being bought. After he hits those places, he is joined by Erma, who decides to help him out with gifts for women. We soon learn that Erma may in fact be a spy planted by Ryoko to eliminate the threat of Seina to the pirates, and though they have great fun buying the gifts, when Erma is reminded of her mission, she gets into a gloomy mood. After Seina goes off and returns to Erma, he gets a surprise when she points a gun at him. However, due to some sappy speech or such, she just can’t pull the trigger… and we learn that Erma had actually just been a disguise for Ryoko, and the GP police have known this since Day 1. Ryoko is hauled off by the police, but not before Seina gives her the gift she wanted… and that has Irie, Kiriko and Amane wondering where theirs are (crushed by the police car they were driving earlier to break up “Erma” and Seina), and chase Seina around… then NB shows up, and wonders where his stuff is, leading to him getting a beating.
Ranma ½ S3 5- After Ranma in female form is attacked by someone hiding in a costume, we soon find out that this one is a girl from Ukio’s old high school who has a crush on Ukio, and is trying to eliminate any factors that get between her and Ukio. This of course means Ranma, and things become strange as even when Tsubasa has it drilled into her that Ukio is a girl, she persists. However, Ukio reveals she is already in love with Ranma, so Tsubasa decides to hold a contest to see who should win Ukio. Ranma ends up winning the contest (doing some rather embarrassing things), and this ends up causing Tsubasa to crush on his female form… and insert a comment that allowed us to realize Tsubasa is Trap. Rnma now needs to get rid of Tsubasa, and ends up setting up a date between his male form and her. Howeer, this doesn’t fly with Tsubasa, and things really turn hectic when a swarm of cats in on the loose, and Ranma falls into a fountain, reverting to female form. Ranma ask for hot water to see if he can pound the truth into Tsubasa’s head. However, this doesn’t work either… and then Ranma ends up ripping Tsubasa’s uniform, and sees a muscle shirt underneath. Now that he’s facing a man (Trap: male who looks like female), because he had to do all that crap, he attacks Tsubasa, not holding back (and actually manages to get several punches in).
My-Otome 1- We’re shown an attack on a castle, with a single child with some sort of necklace escaping due to a nurse. Flash-forward 14 years, and we a ditzy girl by the name of Arika who’s trying to get to Garderobe to follow in her mother’s footsteps as an Otome. First though, she’s extremely thirty, and accidently crashes a party and drinks something meant for Nina Wang, thus starting things off on the wrong foor. It only becomes worse as when Arika wakes up she starts to pester Nina, being new to the city, and Nina gives her a cold tour, having taken many of the technological things for granted while Arika finds them fascinating… and then the girls see another girl being “attacked” by “thugs”. They rush over and help her escape. This new girl goes with them around town, and things turn problematic when a giant beast is summoned (a Slave), and we learn that their newest friend is the Princess herself, and today is also her coronation day. Thus, Nina has the Princess use her authority to release her Robe so as to combat the Slave. Since the Slave’s appearance allows others to find the Princess, the Headmaster and her assistant go out to retrieve the Princess and take care of the Slave… in the end, the princess is taken away safely, and Nina and Arika arrive at Garderobe, welcomed by the headmaster,
Maze 1- A things of Dave’s… therefore, Be Afraid. Anyways, the basic idea is that Maze is a normal girl during the day (well, as normal as you can get in a fantasy world), and a horny guy at night, and travels with a princess, two swordswomen, a swordsman, and a gun-toting old man. As they travel and do battle in the woods, they’re watched by someone… a fairy, specifically, who wants their help. Apparently the King of another nation has been building a nation via the fairies, so many are captured,a and their newest companion wants the works set free. Meanwhile, Gorgeous and his companion are also keeping watch of Maze’s group, noting the skills… and Gorgeous is plotting something with the King. The King invites Maze and co. to dinner, though all food is fake due to budget constraints. For entertainment, he has his daughter dance for them… and then reveals all is a trap, and everyone but maze 9and the fairy hiding in her breasts) fall to and underground Maze, and to get through, must answer questions of the guardian wyvern…. Something that they fail due to being rather idiotic. Maze has been locked up meanwhile, in order for the King to have his way with her. However, the king’s daughter comes to see Maze first, and runs into problems as the Sun sets, and Maze turns into her guy personality, who immediately goes after the kings’ daughter.
