「ゆるしません!」 (Yurushimasen!)
“I Will Not Allow It!”
I really like the way Papakiki handles the problems that are given to its characters. Some of you may call it a cop-out but I loved how so many different things were all tied together in such a cohesive manner. Who would have thought that a few side characters would have had such a huge role?

「男と女のアナグラム」 (Otoko to Onna no Anaguramu)
“Anagram of a Man and a Woman”
In terms of screenwriting and witty dialogue, Ano Natsu de Matteru and Rinne no Lagrange are easily my top two picks of the season, but Aquarion EVOL is really making a case for itself with Kawamori Shouji and Okada Mari working their magic.

「鴨川ロリータ」 (Kamogawa Roriita)
“Kamogawa Lolita”
Ika Musume as a blond-haired pushy loli in my Lagrange? I didn’t even realize it was Kanemoto Hisako voicing Asteria Lizamarie de Rochefort until I saw the credits, but it sure proved to be a highlight after the fact since she ravaged Madoka and supposedly brought the U.S. President to tears over the phone.

「わがころもでにゆきはふりつつ」 (Waga Koromode ni Yuki wa Furitsutsu)
“While Snow Falls Upon My Sleeves”
OK – so what’s with Arata and the pink cell phone??

「Dynamic possibilities」
I walk away from this episode with mixed feelings but thought it wasn’t bad overall.

「Hair stand -紺碧-」 (Konpeki)
Any notion that this would be a laid-back “breather” episode was out the window for me in the first three minutes of Another this week.

「姫と海賊」 (Hime to Kaizoku)
“Princesses and Pirates”
No “bodaciousness”, no mini skirts, and no pirates! One would think that I’d be disappointed at how misleading the title of Sasamoto Yuuichi’s novel is, but I’m really not as it continues to redefine my understanding of what it means to be a “space pirate”.

「世界の卵」 (Sekai no Tamago)
“World Egg”
I’ll gladly admit that I enjoy Shana a lot more when there’s a lot of flashy action to keep my mind occupied. And instead of getting bombarded with explanations, the talking was kept to a minimum this week.

「データ転送」 (Dēta Tensō)
“Data transfer”
Speaking as a huge fan of the manga, I’m extremely pleased with what Asread did with the chapters that made up this week’s episode – some of the most important of Mirai Nikki, and among my favorites.
