「I Want to Know the Truth」
Future harem leads, pay attention to Persona 4, as it contains an example of a character you should emulate – and one you should not (Yousuke, I’m looking at you).

「元カノ,倒します!」 (Moto Kano, Taoshi Masu!)
“Going to Beat My Ex-Girlfriend!”
This is the episode where Rias-senpai takes the gloves off and shows exactly why she’s the King, and why the Gremory clan is feared. People really shouldn’t mess with Rias-senpai or her family. That’s not the kind of mistake you get to make twice.

「江ノ島高校フットボールクラブ!?」 (Enoshima Koukou Futtobooru Kurabu!?)
“Enoshima High School’s Soccer Club!?”
A full-on time skip and a lot of hamburgers later, Area no Kishi has really reshuffled the deck.

「七咲逢 前編 ツヨガリ」 (Nanasaki Ai Zenpen – Tsuyogari)
“Nanasaki Ai, First Chapter – Bluff”
It’s with mixed feelings that I’m writing this post on Nanasaki Ai’s arc, because as cute as it is to see her “lovey-dovey” relationship with Junichi develop further, there are times that I just want to tell them to get a room and not make me watch how happy they are together.

「告白 sacrifice」 (Kokuhaku)
“Confession”
I think I died a little inside watching the latest episode of Guilty Crown, as one of my big reasons I’m still enjoying the series was snatched away before my very eyes.

「あとどれだけ叫べばいいのだろう」 (Ato Doredake Sakebeba Ii no Darou)
“I Wonder How Much Longer I Have To Scream For”
The Black Rock Shooter anime is finally here and the most notable difference from its 2010 OVA counterpart is that our heroine “BRS” — alter ego of Kuroi Mato (Hanazawa Kana) — gets subjected to a lot of gruesome beatings and takes them all without so much as a whimper.

「先輩はすごかった。」 (Senpai wa Sugokatta.)
“Sempai was Amazing.”
The “walk away and pretend it never happened” approach isn’t a terrible way of getting out of an awkward moment when you find out that someone likes you. Whether or not it’s a permanent solution is another matter, especially if you live together under the same roof.

「ワンダフルライフ」 (Wondafuru Raifu)
“Wonderful Life”
Now that things have finally settled down and most of the drama has been left in the past, it’s nice to finally have an episode where everything else that’s good about this show gets a chance to show itself. Especially things like the ridiculous situations three young girls can get into when left all by themselves.

「馬小屋のガンダム」 (Umagoya no Gandamu)
“Gundam in the Stable”
Flit may have been very emotional as a kid, but he sure is an awesome father as an adult. I wish I had someone leave a Gundam in the stable/garage for me when I turned seventeen.

「恋愛禁止令」 (Renai Kinshi Rei)
“Love Prohibition Decree”
The saying normally goes, “It’s okay to look, but not to touch”, but for the students at Neo Deava Academy, they’re not even allowed to think — not unless they want the chastity armband from hell to electrocute their horny asses. I think I speak for all of them when I say, can’t we all just get along and gattai like there’s no tomorrow?

「鴨川スイマーズ」 (Kamogawa Suimaazu)
“Kamogawa Swimmers”
It feels like I’m just repeating myself every week when it comes to Rinne no Lagrange, as the unassuming and unpretentious robot anime doesn’t miss a beat when it comes to delivering twenty solid minutes of entertainment.
