「晴れたり 泣いたり あとは時々歌ったり」 (Hare tari Nai tari Atoha Tokidoki Utatta ri)
“Sunny Days and Crying and Sometimes Singing”
As they say, all good things must come to an end. For TARI TARI, that end is now. It wasn’t the most innovative, but it did slice of life right and had more than enough charm to stand above the rest. Cue them tears, because this was a heck of an ending for a heck of a series.

「ペンギンさんの趣味／二人の少年時代」 (Pengin-san no Shumi/Futari no Shounen Jidai)
“Mr. Penguin’s Hobbies/Their Childhood Days”
Slowly and steadily, like the most patient sloth, the world of Shirokuma Cafe continues to grow without end in sight.

「マッハの弟 筋トレ兄」 (Mahha no Otouto Kintore Ani)
“Sonic Little Brother Training Big Brother”
All the talk about being one step behind or ahead during this episode makes me wonder – does Azuma feel something similar to what Mutta did when he realised he’d fallen behind someone who was supposed to look up to him?

「Reincarnation; 再生」 (Saisei)
I’m usually scared for finales like Accel World because their source is still on-going and the anime seems to tie relatively well to the light novel. All things considered though, I think AW did a great job coming together for its last episode (of the season) and tied as many loose ends as it could.

「ユイの心」 (Yui no Kokoro)
“Yui’s Heart”
They say that opposites attract – that two people who are completely different are more likely to make a better pair than two people who are very similar. I guess it’s true in a sense, and the Asuna/Kirito pairing certainly seems to conform to this idea.

「世界が君を見つめてる」 (Sekai ga Kun wo Mitsu Meteru)
“The World is Watching You”
Mixed emotions come with the end of Hagure Yuusha.

「友の声が聴こえる」 (Tomo no Koe ga Kikoeru)
“I can Hear the Voices of My Friends”
As this arc is heading towards its end, the battles are getting more and more intense. If “Dragon Slayer” can be heard during a battle, you know that it’s serious business!

「ワールド・トゥ・ワールド/rising sun」 (Wārudo Tu Wārudo)
“World 2 World”
If I really thought this was the penultimate episode of Astral Ocean, I’d be very worried. As long as that’s not the case I think it served its purpose quite admirably.
