「黒神めだかがいなくても！」 (Kurokami Medaka ga Inakutemo)
“Even Without Kurokami Medaka!”
So here we are, the anime original finale to the first season of Medaka Box. It’s been rather an up and down ride along the way, but this final episode – despite being anime original – feels like ending on a high note.

“From Up on Poppy Hill”
One thing’s for sure – it can’t be easy being Miyazaki Gorou.

With the summer season just around the corner, I thought I’d poke my head in and give an overview of the 26 new shows lined up. At first glance, there are some noteworthy continuations such as Rinne no Lagrange Season 2 and Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II, but a closer look reveals some gems such as Yuruyuri ♪♪ and Moyashimon Returns. In terms of all-new series, we have the highly anticipated Sword Art Online, an adaptation of Accel World creator Kawahara Reki’s other virtual reality fantasy novel — TARI TARI, another original slice-of-life series by P.A. Works — Natsuyuki Rendezvous, a romance/drama airing in the noitaminA time slot — plus a good selection of romantic comedies to round everything out. So without further ado, let’s have a look shall we?
Note: I don’t plan to write any more season previews while I’m on my indefinite hiatus. This was a special case since I was personally asked to write this season’s.

「滅びの丘 phase.1」 (Horobi no Oka)
“Hills of Ruin phase.1”
It’s the Matrix: Jormungand style this week—except with keys rather than pills. Oh yes, there’s also more Valmet and another crazy band of assassins.

「その名前、誰のもの？」 (Sono Namae , Dare no Mono?)
“That name, to whom does it belong to?”
Succession dramas! Space battles! Death-flag trippin’! AKB0048 just seems to get better with every passing week.

「ベルセルク 黄金時代篇Ⅰ 覇王の卵」 (Berserk Ougon Jidaihen I: Haou no Tamago)
“Berserk Golden Age Arc I: Egg of the High King”
Miura Kentarou’s dark fantasy saga about a talented swordsman and a charismatic mercenary leader makes its long awaited debut on the silver screen.
Note: I’ve tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, and there are some NSFW screen caps after the jump.

「傷だらけの弁天」 (Kizudareke no Benten)
“The Wounded Benten”
I nearly ran out of fingers trying to keep track of how many plot twists and surprises there were in this episode.
