Preserving the memories, one battle at a time.

「みつめて新選組 〜熱血九州男児の唄〜」 (Mitsumete Shinsengumi 〜 nekketsu Kyuushuu danji no uta 〜)
“Staring at Shinsengumi ~The Song of the Fervid Kyuushuu Man~”
Unfortunately ending just as the true battle begins.
「ピュアハウリング」 (Pyuahauringu)
“Pure Howling”
Just like in real life, the final boss is the mother-in-law.
「もう一度スタート地点」 (Mouichido Sutaato Chiten)
“Back To The Starting Line”
It may not happen a lot in this genre, but sometimes there are shows that manage to do a great job at wrapping things up while leaving just enough in the air to keep your imagination going. Stella no Mahou‘s ending this week did just that and more.
「超超超がんばらんば!!! グランプリファイナルFS」 (Cho cho cho Ganbaranba!!! Guranpurifainaru FS)
“Gotta Super-Super-Supercharge it! Grand Prix Final Free Skate”
I would describe this finale as thoroughly satisfying.

While ViVid Strike could have benefited from tighter plotting or a few more script revisions, it never forgot one thing that so many anime do forget: it’s not about the plot. It’s the characters, stupid.
「これじゃホントに戦争じゃないすか/僕も約束しますよ, 佐藤さん」 (Kore ja Honto ni Sensou ja Nai Suka/Boku mo Yakusoku Shimasu yo, Satou-san)
“Is This Really War?/It’s a Promise From Me, Satou-san”
That was one of the best hours of anime we’ve gotten this year.

Just wouldn’t be complete without some romantic overtones would it? |
Never straying far from the path, Bubuki Buranki gave us more of the same, just now improved
「Chapter.20 贈られたもの1 / Chapter.21 贈られたもの2」 (Chapter.20 Okuraretamono 1 / Chapter.21 Okuraretamono 2)
“Chapters.20 Things Given 1 / Chapter.21 Things Given 2”
While the lack of my favorite three sisters still bothers me, this week’s episode finally gave me exactly what I wanted from Rei.
