Can college be that crazy? Yes.

「こんな所で会うとはな」 (Kon’na Tokorode Au To Hana)
“I’ve Never Thought We’d Meet Here”

Beautiful boys and their fervent passion for basketball – I love everything that KuroBasu embodies. A beauty-marked bishie and yet another player from the “Generation of Miracles” make their appearances – bring on the bromance, drama and badasseries!

Kyoukai no Kanata – 02

「群青」 (Gunjou)
“Ultramarine”

So here’s my vouch for everyone still on the fence about continuing with Kyoukai no Kanata… but I think the second episode already speaks for itself.

「①甘草奏の甘くない日常 ②甘草奏の臭くない納豆」 (① Kanzou Sou no Amakunai Nichijou ② Kanzou Sou no Kusakunai Nattou)
“① The not-so-sweet life of Amakusa Kanade ② The not-so-smelly nattou of Amakusa Kanade”

A philosophical conundrum; is it the choices we make that determine our lot in life, or is it the circumstances which we find ourselves i–wait, was that Steve Jobs and Einstein? And did he just ask her to touch his oppai? This show is nuts!

「SHAMAN*CLAN -約束-」 (SHAMAN*CLAN -Yakusoku-)

「コンビネーション×ト×エボリューション」
“Combination x And x Evolution”

We have a new season, a new timeslot on a new day, a new ED – and lots of new stuff happening in an episode that strongly hearkens to events that are yet to come. Fortunately one thing remains the same – H x H still delivered the best episode of any anime this season.
