「覚悟の重さ」 (Kakugo no Omosa)
“The Weight of Resolve”
Seirin may not have all the answers, but if there’s one team that could pull themselves back up in the face of utter defeat, it’s them. AKA: THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING.

「鳴動」 (Meido)
“Rumbling”
There’s always room in life for this.

「マヨタマ爆誕」 (Mayotama Bakutan)
“Mayotama’s Explosive Appearance”
It was right around this time last season we got an episode that was just like this. Totally different art style, completely left field subject matter, and somehow it related to the past. But unlike last time, I think this attempt was a complete success.

「俺の強さ」 (Ore no tsuyo-sa)
“My Srength”
Perhaps no anime episode of recent vintage has less required a blog post to be written about it.

「美女たちと野獣たち」 (Bijo-tachi to Yajuu-tachi)
“The Beauties and the Beasts”
It took me only slightly longer than Gieve to fall in love with Farangis[‘s character]. And when she shot him down, it only made her better.

「なきむしサクソフォン」 (Naki Mushi Sakusofon)
“Crybaby Saxophone”
It should not come as a surprise to learn that this gloomy, dramatic episode was produced by the staff of Hyouka.

「対戦前夜です！」 (Taisen Zen’yadesu)
“The Night Before Battle!”
This episode was everything I like about High School DxD, and only a little of what I don’t. Can we do this all the time?

「応答せよっ！」 (Oto Seyo!)
“Respond!”
The Witch-of-the-Week storyline is now underway. Three down, four to go.

「上手なデートの誘い方」 (Jōzuna Dēto no Sasoi-kata)
“How to Ask Her Out”
It’s probably a good thing that nothing happens in any given episode of Plastic Memories, because when things happen, people die.

「ニュー・ステージ！」 (Nyuu Suteeji!)
“New Stage!”
The training match ends with a bang, and segues into the real heart of the episode: blatant exposition and introductions. So that’s fun.
