Oreimo, Beelzebub, and Japanese Politics...Oh My!

There are a few anime this season that I treat as real gems. Oreimo and Beelzebub are two of them. This week aired Oreimo's 13th episode also considered apart of the "True Ending." Although I am not a huge Kuroneko fan, this episode was worth watching just because of Saori & a certain boob grabbing scene followed by foolish fantasies. I've taken the pleasure of turning this scene into an animated gif.
Beelzebub I'm excited about still has 13 more episodes until it is finished. I'm happy because this has become quite a special gem to me. Although episode 11 was a little disappointing, it did have it's highlights. As a friend pointed out though it seems that they are censoring baby Beelzebub a bit more, could this have something to do with that new bill that has been passed in Japan? Otherwise I felt you could really see the relationship between Oga & his baby companion really seems to become visibly stronger in this episode. They have definitely become more in-sync with each other. All I can leave you with is two thumbs up for this series.
Finally I am working on a project to get a complete information guide together about Japanese Bill 156 which is banning different types of anime, and has raised concern about how vague the bill is written. I'm hopeful to get together enough information not only to post here, but to create a panel that I can take to different conventions to discuss.
