「恩人が二人いる」 (Onjin ga Futari Iru)
“Two People I’m Indebted To”
A rivalry between candle businesses that gets ugly. It may not sound like much, but when Matsu gets caught trying to steal back some some wooden passes that the Kiku-ya store owner needs to do business, the House of the Five Leaves doesn’t sit idly. Of all people, Masa takes the initiative.

「さくらの恋はインディーズ」 (Sakura no Koi wa Indiizu)
“Sakura’s Love is An Indie”
If there’s ever going to be a cocky arrogant bastard in an indie band, nine times out of ten it’s the vocalist. That’s just a meaningless statistic I made up just now, but the lead singer usually does get the most attention, much like Kuuga from Yumemishi does from Sakura.

「金城家の一族。セレブな兄のキラキラな秘密！」 (Kanejou-ke no Ichizoku. Serebu na Ani no Kirakira na Himitsu!)
“The Kanejou Family. The Celebrity Brother’s Dazzling Secret!”
All that was needed was a wrench in the works to mess up Yamada’s cherry snatching plans, but the arrival of Keiichi spiced things up way more than I was anticipating. Enter the good-looking virgin.
With the full version of the second Durarara opening theme having been leaked over a week in advance, I’ve been listening to a it fair bit like I mentioned back when episode 19 aired. I even threw it up on the sidebar for a while for those who were interested. Well today is the official release of the single and along with the limited edition is the PV for it you see above. It’s not a bad one either, but the best part of it is still the song itself. As good as the TV size version is already, the full version has a longer lead in and rap portions which together make the song sound so much better. I just don’t seem to get sick of it regardless of how much I’ve listened to it. It’s likely because the song switches the tempo up at various parts, offering a bit of everything, before coming on strong every time it gets back to the chorus. If you haven’t listened to it already and watch the series, then I really recommend doing so!

「Lament」
Payback is normally a bitch, but Ishihara and Sasaki get off surprisingly easy after killing Hagino and putting Sakuragi and the others through hell.

「迷い猫、泳いだ」 (Mayoi Neko, Oyoida)
“Stray Cat, Swam”
It’s not often I can say I enjoy eating my own words, but after I poked fun at how this series was getting pretty random last episode, AIC comes back with an episode about orphans and the love square that develops.

「期末試験！」 (Kimatsu Shiken!)
“Final Exams!”
Fude Pen ~Ball Pen~ YuiAzu version! As great as I was expecting their guitar duet to sound at the annual local performance festival, Kyoto Animation ended up shortchanging me again.

「新しき京」 (Atarashiki Miyako)
“New Capital”
As much as I’ve enjoyed how Anime no Chikara has taken their fictional piece of work and overlaid it on top of actual history, things are getting more interesting now that the focus has shifted to the characters’ involvement in all of this.

「ブランド・ゼス」 (Burando Zesu)
“Brand Zess”
With Yuki getting accustomed to life at the Twilight Mansion, the easygoing pace continues on with a trip to the communal bath. It was probably unrealistic to expect to see some Tooko and Aya fan-service as a result, but I can always hope before they bring on the bishounen variety.
