RAINBOW: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin – 09

「Lament」
Payback is normally a bitch, but Ishihara and Sasaki get off surprisingly easy after killing Hagino and putting Sakuragi and the others through hell.
Mayoi Neko Overrun! – 09

「迷い猫、泳いだ」 (Mayoi Neko, Oyoida)
“Stray Cat, Swam”
It’s not often I can say I enjoy eating my own words, but after I poked fun at how this series was getting pretty random last episode, AIC comes back with an episode about orphans and the love square that develops.
K-ON!! – 09

「期末試験！」 (Kimatsu Shiken!)
“Final Exams!”
Fude Pen ~Ball Pen~ YuiAzu version! As great as I was expecting their guitar duet to sound at the annual local performance festival, Kyoto Animation ended up shortchanging me again.
Senkou no Night Raid – 09

「新しき京」 (Atarashiki Miyako)
“New Capital”
As much as I’ve enjoyed how Anime no Chikara has taken their fictional piece of work and overlaid it on top of actual history, things are getting more interesting now that the focus has shifted to the characters’ involvement in all of this.
One Piece – 453

「仲間達の行方 空島リポートと改造動物 」 (Nakama-tachi no Yukue – Wezaria Ripōto to Saibōgu Animaru)
“The Friends’ Whereabouts! The Weatheria Report and The Cyborg Animals!”
Despite this episode being so called a filler episode, there were actually some information given out that wasn’t in the manga that I was hoping for.
Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru – 08

「ブランド・ゼス」 (Burando Zesu)
“Brand Zess”
With Yuki getting accustomed to life at the Twilight Mansion, the easygoing pace continues on with a trip to the communal bath. It was probably unrealistic to expect to see some Tooko and Aya fan-service as a result, but I can always hope before they bring on the bishounen variety.
Darker than BLACK – Gaiden 03

 |
 |

Two months later and we have the third of four episodes of the Darker than BLACK side story, which is turning out to be more interesting than the actual Ryuusei no Gemini sequel.
Arakawa Under the Bridge – 09

「9 BRIDGE」
There’s ridiculous and then there’s Luna’s Papa from Seto no Hanayome ridiculous, which Stella takes a page right out of by buffing up on-the-fly after learning that Sister’s in love with Maria.

「ことりちゃん登場！！」 (Kotori-chan Toujou!!)
“Kotori-chan Appears!!”
There’s pretty much an unwritten rule in anime to be suspicious of any character that can’t be bothered to open their eyes most of the time, but it doesn’t hurt to hear them out once in a while.
