「ひたぎエンド其ノ伍」 (Hitagi Endo So no Go)

「ラグランダの杜」 (Raguranda no Mori)

「航路を拓く力」 (Koro o Hiraku Chikara)
“The Power to Open a Path”
I think it’s safe to say that this was a series that exceeded everyone’s expectations. Powered by a spectacular OST, over the top action, complex themes on human nature, and the newest in CGI tech, Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova was a bundle of joy throughout. Sadly, with every beginning comes an end, and the end is here—for now.

“Angel Girls (Girls Over)”
Well that was unsatisfying.
Yuusha ni Narenakatta Ore wa Shibushibu (…) – More Than Fanservice, & That Too
 |
|
A round of applause for a successful season. |
Expectations were not terribly high going into YuShibu. In the season preview we gave it a moderate expectation level, thinking it would at least end up as servicable fanservice show. After having watched the entire season, here’s my final summation: It was that and also more. YuShibu is a show with a surprisingly earnest plot, and it had exquisitely animated fanservice as well.

「ドント・ルックバック」

The halfway point has been reached, we have reached a break in airtime until the new year, and it looks like things are setting up nicely for the latter part of the show!
