「灰色の狼は同胞を呼びよせる」 (Haiiro no Ōkami wa Dōhō o Yobi Yoseru)
“The Gray Wolf Summons a Compatriot”
Almost unexpectedly, the story completely shifts focus to our golden haired heroine, and sure enough, my interest meter skyrockets. Whether it’s the sudden fragility she displays, or the endearing blushes exposing her dere, Victorique rightfully takes reign in being the center of attention. After all, who’s the goth(s)ic(k) one?
Is this the real reason Gauche left Gymnopedies behind? It might be time to retire Nocturne #12.
「悪意でなく、憎悪でなく」 (Akui de Naku, Zouo de Naku)
“Without Malice or Hatred”
For two guys driven by hatred, I loved the level of respect between Zazie and Jeel when they were in agreement that they can’t get along and had to fight one another. It put an interesting spin on what was in reality two victims who shouldn’t be fighting in the first place, but had to due to the upper echelons in Amberground doing as they please.

「トイレがあいてないなら雪の上にすればいいじゃない」 (Toire ga Aitenai nara Yuki no Ueni Sureba Iijyanai)
“If the Bathroom is Locked, Use the Snow”
Finally! An episode that’s full of my three favorite things — Yabecchi, Papa Marui, and my favorite triplets in stupidly funny situations.

「Machination」
Following her introduction last time, Rana is quickly stirring things up school-wide in ways that only make the story better for me as the viewer. Her forwardness with her feelings for Kazuya contrasts well with Satellizer’s reserved demeanor, and also forces our Untouchable Queen to take the initiative if she doesn’t want to lose her newly-partnered Limiter.

「検体番号（シリアルナンバー）」 (Kentai Bangou (Shiriaru Nanbaa))
“Sample Number (Serial Number)”
Another awesome episode the very next week? Who would’ve thunk it? There was a bit of foreshadowing with Hyouka showing up, but this was an otherwise lighthearted affair with Accelerator and Last Order joining in on the fun. Definitely To Aru Majutsu no Index at its finest (…at least for me).

「夢邂逅(かいこう)」 (Yume Kaikō)
“Dream Encounter”
Now, pay attention here. We’re going to have two separate boxes okay? Now take the cat girls and put them in your left box. I know it’s hard, but put them in there, we’ll get to them later. Yes, because today, the story makes a move.

「ルームメイトはブロンド貴公子（ジェントル）」 (Ruumumeito wa Burondo Kikoushi (Gentoru))
“Roommate is a Blond Young Noble (Gentleman)”
After all the obvious hints dropped last time, it shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone that Charle is in fact Charlotte and not the second male in the world to be able to pilot an IS. What does come as a surprise is how Charlotte was able to conceal her voluptuous bust in that skintight pilot suit, and in ways that completely defy physics.

「こんなの絶対おかしいよ」 (Konna no Zettai Okashii yo)
“This just isn’t right”
After this week’s episode, I’m not sure who or what I’m supposed to believe anymore.
