Zetsuen no Tempest – 16
「徘徊する亡霊」 (Haikai Suru Borei )
“The Wandering Apparition”
Seems!? Nay! It is. I know not seems!

「小さな恋、咲いちゃった」 (Chisana Koi, Sai Chatta)
“A Small Love Blooms”
The Tamako Market team is really getting into it, with the fuwa fuwa and humour still spot on, but the character development and plot progression getting even more subtle and adroit. Also, Anko-hime, hng~
「憧憬」 (Doukei)
“Aspiration”
It feels like that old Saki mahjong, except with more bondage, evil geniuses, and revenge. Swiftly approved!
「あきましておめでとう / 手作りチョコレート事件 / 遠まわりする雛」 (Aki Mashi te Omedeto / Tezukuri Chokoreto Jiken / To Mawari Suru Hina)
“Happy New Opening” / “The Chocolate Files” / “Dolls in the Distance”
After being much delayed due to various circumstances, here it is: the finale post to one of Random Curiosity’s most loved series of 2012. Be warned though, this will be a long post.
「破滅の足音」 (Hametsu no Ashioto)
“Footsteps of Ruin”
This is rare for an anime- nay, any kind of story in general: a daring leap 12 years forward into the future, where the kids we’ve been following are now adults. Does it work? Oh hell yes it does.
「この青い夏空の下で男は汗を流す」 (Kono Aoi Natsu Sora no Shita de Otoko wa Ase o Nagasu)
“The man sweats under the blue summer sky”
He’s baaaaaaaaaack…
「甘い毒」 (Amai Doku)
“Sweet Poison”
Extreme suffering and a penchant for violence is a staple in any Urobutcherbuchi Gen show, but their presence in PSYCHO-PASS strikes a different chord than their use in Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica or Fate/Zero.
「ずっと、好きでした……」 (Zutto, Sukideshita……)
“I’ve always loved you”
He did it! He half-passed! Woohoo!!
「ソロモンの知恵」 (Soromon no Chie)
“Wisdom of Solomon”
Aladdin has come back back to finally reverse the reversals of flow. We’ve missed you, buddy.
