「Dissolve」
Given how people tend to say anime is always a rehash of the same stuff over and over again, I’m almost tempted to stop blogging all my other shows and only cover RAINBOW so that it gets the attention it deserves.

「迷い猫、脱いだ」 (Mayoi Neko, Nuida)
“Stray Cat, Undressed”
I can’t say I remember the last time I’ve seen an episode where every single character, guys and girls alike, were naked 90% of the time, but AIC sure knows how to bring the fan-service with this gag-filled one.

「修学旅行」 (Shuugaku Ryokou)
“Field Trip”
Much like I’ve always suspected, the quiet ones are usually the wildest in bed. This of course is in reference to Mugi, who doesn’t hesitate when she’s alone in a room with three other girls during an overnight school trip to Kyoto.

「師匠（せんせい）物語」 (Shishou (Sensei) Monogatari)
“Tales of a Master”
As mentioned last week, a short OVA focusing on Izumi’s “Tales of a Master” chapter of the manga was released with the 9th DVD/BD volume.

「カメラと包子と野良猫と」 (Kamera to Paozu to Naraneko to)
“A Camera, Baozi, and a Stray Cat”
I wasn’t expecting anything on the more lighthearted side in this series, but watching Aoi and Kazura’s contrasting personalities try to work together proved to be just that.

「ワルプルギスの夜」 (Warupurugisu no Yoru)
“Walpurgis Night”
As this was primarily a setup episode for Yuki’s transition into the world of the Giou clan and their battle with the Duras, one of my personal highlights was the Tooko scene with Inoue Marina bringing all the cuteness when Yuki addressed her distantly with honorifics.

「4 BRIDGE」
Kamiya Hiroshi is reunited with Saitou Chiwa in another SHAFT production since Bakemonogatari, but he’s not getting any loving this time as the little orphan girl from Great Britain absolutely destroys Riku in a one-on-one “play fight” and makes him her new underling.

「#04」
The match between East Tokyo United and Tokyo Victory is on and it’s a good one as we get a taste of Tatsumi’s giant killing abilities.

「相馬、さわやかすぎる青年」 (Souma, Sawayaka Sugiru Shounen)
“Souma, An Overly Refreshing Guy”
As much as this episode was about Hiroomi and how he’s a sly blackmailing machine underneath his cheery facade, some light was shed on the likely cause of Souta’s mini complex — his four sisters.

「烈火の先に」 (Rekka no Saki ni)
“Before the Conflagration”
Continuing off from the good cliffhanger last time, we learn that one of the two characters is indeed Envy masquerading in disguise.
