「開戦」 (Kaisen)
“The War Begins”
After weeks of dialogue heavy episodes and lack luster battle scenes, this episode finally kicks things up a notch. With a war of epic proportions breaking out, I was impressed with the scale that things are taking place on — we’re not talking about just Misaki City anymore, but the entire world.

「(しのぶれど」 (Shinoburedo)
“But I Cannot Hide”
I know this is just an anime, and the way we interpret it is a matter of opinion and subject to personal tastes. But I’ll say this – anyone who wants to argue that Chihaya doesn’t belong with Taichi, I’ll fight you right now. Name the time, name the place – I’ll be there. And in true shounen style, I’m willing to battle to the death.

「新機種」 (Shin Kishu)
“New Model”
For Amano Yukiteru, it’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world, except for Yuno. Well – mostly because of Yuno.
「オムっぱい弁当 752kcalとロコもっこり弁当 1100kcal」 (Omuppai Bentō 752kcal to Rokomokkori Bentō 1100kcal)
“Omelettits Bento 752kcal and Tent of Seafood Bento 1100kcal”
“Pool episode? Filler? This can’t be good.” No, said the man from David Productions, “It is neither!”

「決死の共同戦線」 (Kesshi no Kyoudou Sensen)
“A United Front Prepared for Death”
I said back in episode one that Gundam AGE feels like it’s brought back the franchise’s “boyish charm” and this week’s episode feels like it’s done that to a certain degree.

「愛はこんなにグローバル」 (Ai wa Konna ni Gurōbaru )
“Love is So Global”
An episode full of Yachiyo goodness.

「主と従者」 (Aruji to Juusha)
“Master and Servant”
The lengthy exposition in Fate/Zero continues, and while the thought did cross my mind that I’m too forgiving of it compared to To Aru Majutsu no Index, I really don’t think that’s the case when I haven’t read the light novels of either adaptation.

「We’ve lost something important again」
Summer has finally arrived in Inaba and with it comes new uniforms, the school camping trip, and swimsuits.

「Weak square」
I enjoy episodes like this one, where Fam’s plucky cheerfulness is mercifully muted, and the characters are reminded of the life-and-death nature of the game they’ve chosen to play.
