Ao Ashi – 03
「最終試験開始」 (Saishuu shiken kaishi)

The really good days in anime, when they happen, still get my juices flowing.
Summertime Render – 02
「影」 (Kage)
“Shadow”
When you consider how much has already happened, it’s remarkable that we’re only two episodes into a 25 episode series.
Ao Ashi – 02
「東京シティ・エスペリオン」 (Toukyou shiti esuperion)
“Tokyo City Esperion”
This is a genre where the great ones are always marathon and never sprint.
Summertime Render – 01
「さよなら夏の日」 (Sayonara natsu no hi)
“Goodbye, Summer’s Day”
Supernatural thrillers are such a natural fit for anime, but my hunger for a truly great one is forever unsated.

「僕の彼女はとてもかわいいBoku no kanojo wa totemo kawaī」 ()
“My Girlfriend is so Cute”
You know it’s serious when the nape makes an appearance.
Ao Ashi – 01
「ファーストタッチ」 (Faasutotatchi)

I’m not prepared to say whether Ao Ashi will be the next great soccer anime, but I am prepared to say this premiere met my expectations with no caveats required.
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru – 12 (END)
「その着せ替え人形は恋をする」 (Sono kisekaeningyou wa koi o suru)

One gets the vibe watching these two together that the formalities are largely irrelevant.
Ousama Ranking – 23 (END)
「王様と太陽」 (Ousama to taiyou)
“The King and the Sun”
This is going to be complicated…
Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru – 11
「ラブホテルにいます」 (Rabuhoteru ni imasu)
“I’m in a love hotel”
That would have been a lot more interesting if we’d seen what would have happened if the phone hadn’t interrupted.
