「まんま亜美～ヤ！」 (Manma Ami~ya!)
“Mamma AMI~ya!”
I was suspicious of the cow last episode but still wasn’t sure what to make of it either way. Well lo and behold, it comes back in full force with hordes of chupacabras in tow to finally give us some occult stuff again.

「草ノ遊戯」 (Kusa no Yuugi)
“Playing in the Grass”
After one episode of flashbacks, this most recent one was almost entirely invested in setting up the Sekirei Project under Minaka’s new rule. In short, it was his way of saying go out there and kill some other Sekirei or the M.B.I and its Disciplinary Force will come by to kill yours.

「#21」
Well if being down one goal against Osaka Gunners wasn’t enough to set the stage for a miraculous comeback, being down two after the first half should help in that regard.

「RUNNER」
All it took was a game of cops and robbers to establish that Mitsuba can ditch her conscience in a heartbeat.

「あ？！お前は朝のイチゴパンツ！／筆おろしが流行るかもしれん／みんなの分まで私が戦う！」
(A?! Omae wa Asa no Ichigo Pantsu! / Fudeoroshi ga Hayaru Kamo Shiren / Minna no Bun made Watashi ga Tataku!)
“Ah!? You’re The Strawberry Underwear Girl From This Morning! / First Time Sex Might Become Popular / I’ll Fight For Everyone!”
Hymen tearing, 3D rendered breasts, and ball gags. Those were what helped pushed the envelope this episode, but Kotomi busting out the “pedophilia” word in front of Suzu had to be right up there from an anime perspective.

For anyone wondering where my posts have been in the past few days, I was busy attending and helping out with two of my friends’ wedding on Saturday and somehow started feeling sick the day after. It wasn’t due to a hangover or anything, as I only had a few and was a designated driver for the night (after party and all). Instead, I’ve been bedridden feeling feverish for the past two days and had to call in sick for work. I tried to get some blogging in but the focus simply isn’t there. I already have a fairly big backlog after a mere three days (i.e. five shows), so I’ll have to figure out some way to catch up on that when I actually feel better. I may simply opt for short 200-300 word posts rather than my usual 700-1000 ones lately. We’ll see. I can’t think straight right now. I was actually hoping to get some more PV posts out too, but those will have to wait. |

「碓氷のライバル？深谷陽向」 (Usui no Raibaru? Shintani Hinata)
“Usui’s Rival? Shintani Hinata”
Misaki going Super Saiyajin, Usui feeling the pressure from a rival, Kanou noticing how their relationship’s at a standstill, and the childhood friend Shintani Hinata (Abe Atsushi) being another instance of dramatic weight loss. This episode had development in almost all areas and provided the tension that may finally take Misaki and Usui’s relationship to the next level.

「棚町薫編 最終章 シンテン」 (Tanamachi Kaoru-hen Saishuushou – Shinten)
“Tanamachi Kaoru Final Chapter – Progress”
Well the end of this arc sure was different. Not only did it leave out a time-skip to show how Junichi and Kaoru are like in the future, it also put a very sweet touch on their development that I was thinking we might see — Kaoru confessing to Junichi.

「おおかみさんとねずみの嫁探しとやっぱり豚はこういう扱い」 (Ookami-san to Nezumi no Yomesagashi to Yappari Buta wa Kouiu Atsukai)
“The Wolf, The Search for the Mouse’s Bride, and How Pigs Should Be Treated”
Ask and you shall receive, as Ookami-san goes on a Toradora and To Aru Kagaku no Railgun cameo blitz in a matter of seconds. They weren’t shy about introducing them all with their proper names either, much like they had Otsuu’s Kawasumi Ayako say Mahoro’s infamous “I think perverted thoughts are bad” line.
