「つきひフェニックス 其ノ貳」 (Tsukihi Fenikkusu Sono Ni)
“Tsukihi Phoenix Part Two”
Still no sign of Tsukihi or a phoenix, but an amagami, some nishishishis, and two new mysterious and dangerous strangers go a long way towards making up for it – I said, with a posed look.

「隻眼の転校生」 (Sekigan no Tenkousei)
“One-Eyed Transfer Student”
Laughter and comedy take a supporting role to a more serious character development episode.

「勝浦発→鴨川行」 (Katsūra Hatsu → Kamogawa Kou)
“Departing Katsuura → Destination Kamogawa”
As has been said before, Rinne no Lagrange’s strength is in effortlessly moving between the light-hearted and the serious. Just as soon as you think you’re watching an entire episode of cross dressing maids, derailed duels and a clumsy Lan, suddenly you’re hit with tragic pasts, inspiring family members and galactic intrigue.

「タバサの戴冠」 (Tabasa no Taikan)
“Tabitha’s Coronation”
In this episode, some of our heroes(‘s less important friends) learn a valuable lesson: no matter your race, where you come from, or what you believe, women are still crazy, and men are still stupid. Amen, brothers and/or sisters, amen.
Thank you everyone for the kind words. I thought it was going to be more difficult to step away from the site, but your understanding is making it a lot easier to do so.
Updates:
03/10: I’ve gone through the 35 or so applications that I’ve received and have shortlisted them down to ~8 people, many of whom are female. There are a lot of candidates who show promise and fit RC’s perspective on anime, so I may even bring on board more than 4 writers. I apologize for taking a while with this review process and keeping everyone in suspense, but I want to make sure that I give everyone proper consideration.

「DON’T SAVE ANYONE ANYMORE」
Yuu has more lines in this episode more than he did in all twenty previous episodes combined. At least it feels like he does!

「強化合宿は大騒ぎ!?」
“Panic at the Training Camp!?”
Yes, this is an excellent idea – scare the crap out of the kid who had the heart transplant.

「修行、はじめました!」 (Shugyō, Hajimemashita!)
“My Training Begins!”
Issei is taking it up a whole other level. While before he had nothing on the Great Perverts of the Ages, now it looks like he’s gunning to join their ranks…and maybe just become The One to Rule Them All. I take back what I said before…we need to to get him and Sakurai Tomoki together for a brainstorming session. Man, Angeloid and Devil-kind would quake in fear at the perverted works they will usher onto this earth!

「先輩がPINCH.」 (Senpai ga PINCH.)
“Sempai’s in a PINCH.”
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Evidently, so is an alien rescue robot that leads to the earlier than expected slip of Ichika’s secret…
– Full post to come. Feel free to comment first.

「赤いモビルスーツ」 (Akai Mobiru Suutsu)
“Red Mobile Suit”
In case it wasn’t already apparent from the opening sequence, Zeheart is well on his way now to becoming the Char Aznable of Gundam AGE. His red Zeydra mostly resembles the other Vagan mobile suits, but comes in a red just like Char’s Rick Dias, Sazabi, and most the recent addition that’s graced television screens, “Full Frontal’s” Sinanju.
