「黒と白の剣舞」 (Kuro to Shiro no Kenbu)
“The Sword Dance of White and Black”
We’re kicking off the main storyline with a bang this week! Lots of pretty cool action and some adorable Asuna!

「BABELランキング戦、開始」 (BABEL Rankingu Sen, Kaishi)
“BABEL Ranking Tests, Commence!”
The episode title says it all, giving us an episode full of Akatsuki kickin’ butt. Too bad certain people are busy crashing the party though.
Slightly NSFW.

「リアルナイトメア」 (Riaru Naitomea)
“Real Nightmare”
I didn’t think it was possible for me to enjoy an episode with the Jiggle Butt Gang – turns out that I’m wrong!

“Galette Sword Style Record! / Pastillage’s Hero King Legend / Battle at the Cave of Sealing!”
Ninja and Samurais! Lolis and Bishies! Pervy demon king! How can you not smile when the show itself is having so much fun clowning around?

「ラ・ヴィアン・ローズ/Johannson’s book」 (Ra Vian Rōzu)

When we write the book on Eureka Seven AO, I suspect we’ll look back on this episode as the one where all the pieces started to come together.

「憧れの一人暮らし／夏のお祭り」 (Akogare no Hitorigurashi/Natsu no Omatsuri)

A wolf in sheep’s clothing is now a literal phrase!
Branching Out, or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love: Emotions
 |
|
A manly man with manly emotions…and he dies. Coincidence? |
As a hot-blooded American male, I have historically had a contentious relationship with emotions. Yet, at the risk of getting pummeled by all my male brethren, let’s talk about exactly that.
Potential spoilers on Clannad, Kanon, Angel Beats!, Moshidora, and Kokoro Connect. I try to keep them pretty vague though, so you’re probably safe. More after the jump.
