「かれんビー 其ノ參」 (Karen Bii Sono San)
“Karen Bee Part Three”
The Eye of Horus, a symbol of ancient Egypt representing protection, royal power, and good health, is originally personified by the goddess Wadjet – but a more modern day personification would be the tsundere goddess Senjougahara Hitagi.

「The Long-Awaited School Trip」
Sadly, the Investigation Team’s school trip to Gekkoukan High School and Tatsumi Port Island may be the closest we’ll ever get to seeing an animated version of Persona 3.

「オデット二世、出航！」 (Odetto Nisei, Shukkou!)
“Odette II, Sets Sail!”
Depending on who you ask, this third episode of Mouretsu Pirates can range anywhere from the most boring and uneventful showing of all time to the most fascinating and immersive one to grace anime in a while.

「夜にすれ違う」 (Yoru ni Surechigau)
“Passing in the Night”
It’s one thing to take away my Mizuki Nana/TWO-MIX anime after the premiere, but it’s another thing altogether to replace it with a crossover of Madoka Magica and BLOOD-C. Thanks to the seiyuu, I’m finding it hard to “unsee” the obvious similarities between Madoka in Hibiki and Saya in Tsubasa.

「兄の鼓動」 (Ani no Kodou)
“A Brother’s Pulse”
Events continue to barrel along at a breakneck pace, but my suspicion is now that “that” has happened, things are going to slow down quite a bit – and we’re going to find out just how good a series Area no Kishi is. Or isn’t.

「学園 isolation」 (Gakuen)
“School”
After the conclusion of “Guilty Crown season one” last week, I’m admittedly torn over the direction of this continuation. The new opening sequence foreshadows a much darker and gloomier tone with Shuu manning up in Gai’s absence, but the episode itself switches back to the school life side of things with a culture festival during a quarantine lockdown.

「友達、できました！」 (Tomodachi, Dekimashita!)
“Made a Friend”
When I was disappointed about the last episode, people assured me that the story would get better. They were right. Yatta!

「桜井梨穂子 前編 ユウグレ」 (Sakurai Rihoko Zenpen — Yuugure)
“Sakurai Rihoko, First Chapter — Evening”
I don’t approve of an overly perverted Junichi taking advantage of younger girls like we saw in Sae’s chapter, but when it comes to Rihoko, I have to concede that the hornier he is the better. That is, if she has any hope of getting out of the dreaded friend zone.

「弁当の極意」 (Bentou no Gokui)
“Secret of Bento”
Even though it’s not the sequel OVA that everyone hoped for, this unaired episode of Toradora! was nevertheless a great reminder why this series is one of my favorites.
