「機械人形」 (Kitai Ningyo)
“Machine Doll”
If there’s a single word I would use to describe Shining Hearts, it would be “pretty”. Mind bogglingly, awe-inducingly pretty. It’s like Production I.G. felt like they had something to prove – there’s almost no doubt that Shining Hearts is one of the most visually-pleasing shows this season has to offer.

「タイトゥン・アップ／génération bleu」 (Taitun Appu)
“Tighten Up”
This marks the second in the collaboration between Zephyr and Myself to provide two perspectives on two of the season’s best shows – E7:Astral Ocean and Jormungand. I hope you’ve enjoyed our little experiment – if you’ve had half as much fun reading these posts as we did writing them, then we enjoyed them twice as much as you.

「ちゃうねん、勝てててん」 (Chaunen, Kateteten)
“Hell No, I Shoulda Won”
Ayumu, you should know that you cannot escape crossdressing, no matter how hard you try. Gaia demands crossdressing Ayumu! …and bunny girl Yuu and Sera, oh my!

「バードランドの子守唄」 (Bādorando no komori-uta)
“Lullaby of Birdland”
“Realism” is a term that gets thrown around almost as much as “slice-of-life”, and likewise incorrectly most of the time – but Sakamichi no Apollon is that rare series that earns the descriptor.

「Aviation: 飛翔」 (Hishou)
If I had any supernatural power in the world… it would definitely be the ability to fly. Oh! And pretty wings to go along with it =)
Note: Apologies for the late post! Real life is a handful sometimes and I’m glad that everyone’s been so patient and understanding…

「わかってもらおーなんて思ってないよ」 (Wakatte Morao Nante Omotte nai yo)
“I Don’t Expect You to Understand”
Okay, I have to admit, that was pretty clever.

You wanted fetishes? Here we go. I’m starting with one of the best. |
What is it about twintails? I come here today to find out. I know much about them, from my (worryingly) long career in this community of ours. They are:
More after the juuuuump!

「アタック!⇔にゃんばーにゃん!」 (Attaku! to Nyanbaa Nyan!)
“Attack! ⇔ Number One-Nya!”
After five episodes of watching my new favorite group of people do things that we all take for granted in a terribly overdramatized manner, I have come to the conclusion that I will be really sad when this show finishes its run.
P.S. Sorry about the late post everyone! With Finals and Work taking its toll, I just haven’t had the time to get it out till now. Hyouka will be out shortly and things will be back on track soon!
