Mouretsu Pirates continue their (perhaps unintentionally) hilarious adventures. This time around, the technobabble made sense, what plotholes there may have been were quickly forgotten, and it looks like the story is starting in earnest.
Mirai Nikki 17 was ... ugh, WTF was that? Most of the episode was comprised of telling a very cookie-cutter love story of two characters that are, frankly, ridiculous comedy relief. That's how they were set up and how they were portrayed. Why are we supposed to suddenly care about them? Meanwhile, actually interesting and compelling characters like Minene and Nishijima are complete mysteries to us. Seriously, they waste most of an episode to explain the backstories of the joke characters? Come on already.
Nisemonogatari, on the other hand, just keeps getting better. The writing is more coherent than its predecessor, the animation is slick, it's a joy to watch.
