「地の果てまで」 (Chi no Hate Made)
“To the Ends of the Earth”
Episodes like this are what Sci-Fi fans live for.
「魔法舞踏会」 (Mahou Butoukai)
“Magical Ball”
The filler train has arrived, and its destination is unknown.
「私が…ゾンビに…なったら」 (Watashi ga… Zonbi ni… Nattara)
“If I… Became… a Zombie”
Apparently having fetishes for the supernatural is the norm now. People better jump on the zombie band wagon because ghosts, vampires and werewolves are so overrated!
「11回目のナツヤスミ」 (Ju-Ichi-Kaime no Natsu Yasumi)
“Our 11th Summer Vacation”
This show has a lot of potential. Good pacing, deft atmosphere, likable characters, and hook at the end that left me wondering what will come next. And that’s the key word, “wonder.” Life leaves many of us cynical and jaded, but this show opens up the heart to the gentle wonder of what could be. Are you willing to believe again, even for just half an hour?
「しろくまカフェへようこそ/パンダくんの就職」 (Shirokuma Kafe e Youkoso/Panda-kun no Shuushoku)
“Welcome to the Polar Bear Café!” & “Panda-kun’s Employment”
Enter the show that tastes like no other. No, it’s not the taste of bamboo.
「はい、今再びの魔装変身!」 (Hai, Ima Futatabi no Masou Henshin!)
“Yes, Yet Another Masou Transformation!”
After writing this post, I can no longer become a politician. All my opponents would have to do is find this one post, read the words I have written, look at the screenshots I have laboriously selected, and that’s it. “Yeah, this is why,” they’d say, pointing to the screen. “This is why you don’t want that guy.” And you know what? I don’t care because this show is hilarious!!
「生徒会を執行する!」 (Seitokai o shikkou suru!)
“To carry out the will of the student council!”

Alright guys, grit your teeth and let’s dive into the fray!
「The World is Full of Shit」 & 「We Can Change The World」
The titles of these episodes may be a bit crass and clichéd, but they are entirely appropriate too.
