「最強」 (Saikyou)
“Best”
This is it. This is why I’m watching this show. Finally, here’s the crazy, ridiculous, over-the-top-awesome Saki-style mahjong that we’ve all been waiting for. Hellz yes!

「たいふうゆうれい、今日のオモイデ」 (Taifu Yuurei, Kyou no Omoide)
“A Typhoon, Ghosts, and Today’s Memory”
The Big Rock sometimes seems to act like a classic “monkey’s paw,” where wishes are fulfilled in ways the wishers didn’t intend. Well, except for the fact that here they usually lead to a fun little adventure, instead of soul-shattering horrors the likes of which man was never meant to experience. So I guess it’s nothing like it at all.

「正体見たり」 (Syoutai Mitari)
“The Ghost, When Examined”
Sometimes, it feels like Hyouka just can’t decide on what kind of show it wants to be. And as negative as that statement sounds, I think that it’s one of this show’s greatest strengths.

「迷宮狂想曲」 (Meikyuu Kyousoukyoku)
“Labyrinth Rhapsody”
Note to self: “Sesame Street!”, “Curry!”, “Grilled fish!”, “Caviar!”, “Sesame sauce!”, “Steak!”, “Boiled fish!”, “Truffles!”, “Sesame seed buns!”, “Hamburger!”, “Raw fish!”, and “Foie Gras!” aren’t good replacements for “Open Sesame!”…

「イン・ザ・ダーク・ウィー・リヴ/enemy below」 (In Za Dāku Wī Rivu)
“In the Dark We Live”
The classic introduction of an anime villain is surely, “Hey – you’re that guy from the toilet!”

「強い…思い…」 (Tsuyoi… Omoi…)
“Strong… Feelings…”
The long awaited explanation for Rea’s distant and alcoholic mother… and it’s a much better background story than last week’s.

「海賊狩り」 (Kaizoki Gari)
“Pirate Hunting”
Turns out life as a pirate still involves the risking of life and limb, as Mouretsu Pirates begins with its final story arc with a bang. Literally. As in explosions.
