Year: 2012

「全国」 (Zenkoku)
“Nationals”

All dora go to Kuro. All the dora. Forget that at your own peril.

「逆襲よろしく！」 (Gyakushuu Yoroshiku! )
“Take Care of the Counterattack!”

In this week’s edition of Kuroko, we learn that there are actually five players on a basketball team.

「普通の…女の子…」 (Futsuu no… Onnanoko…)
“A Normal… Girl…”

Our cute and innocent Rea is finally a zombie… and with her transformation comes complications.

「足りない日々」 (Tarinai Hibi)
“Days of Missing”

Houston, Texas, home of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, quite possibly the location of many childhood dream vacations.

「スマフォに夢中/わくわくドライブレッスン)」 (Sumafo ni Muchū/Wakuwaku Doraibu Resson)
“Obsessed with Smartphones/Super Fun Driving Lesson”

Panda: representing the spoiled brat we all don’t ever want to land ourselves with in the future.

Note: no, this image setup isn’t going to be a regular thing 😛

「父の遺品」 (Chichi no Ihin)
“Father’s Memento”

Why are the FAIRY TAIL fillers so good?

「ユカまっしぐら」 (Yuka Masshigura)
“Yuka’s At Full Speed”

I’ve made a big thing about the yuri vibes in this show, but this week they went completely in the other direction. So Yuka likes Takashi-kun – her cousin, as it turns out – enough to cutely panic when he appears. The only problem? He likes Saki.

「寂しくてキャスティング」 (Sabishikute Kyasutingu)
“Lonely Casting”

ENO-SHIMA DON!

「スティル・ファイティング／secret operation」 (Sutiru Faitingu)
“Still Fighting”

On every scene change this week I kept thinking “It can’t be over yet, can it?” I wanted this ep to keep going and going but it felt as if it flew by, and that’s a sure sign that everything is clicking. With a setup this interesting, a MC this good and a beloved franchise that’s still being held mostly in reserve, the potential for Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean seems almost unlimited.

「いや、帰れご主人様」 (Iya, Kaere Goshujinsama)
“No, Go Home, Master”

I-I’m not doing this for you!! But if you’re kind, and eat my cooking, and stick with it, confess your love, and perhaps make me a little jealous, maybe I’ll show you my dere side…
