Mahoutsukai no Yome – Hoshi Matsu Hito – OVA – 02

「星待つひと：中篇」 (Hoshi Matsu Hito: Chuuhen)
“Today”
For me, really, the experience of these OVAs is mostly about the stunning imagery they bring to the screen.
Ryuu no Haisha: The Dragon Dentist – OVA – 01

「龍の歯医者」 (Ryuu no Haisha)
“The Dragon Dentist”
The Dragon Dentist is more an amalgam of fascinating concepts than an actual story, but if the aim was to create something that breaks the increasingly predictable mold of production committee anime, I think the mission is mostly accomplished.
Yowamushi Pedal: New Generation – 01

「最後の峰ヶ山」 (Saigo no mine ~ke yama)
“The Last Minegayama”
My goodness – can it really have been 21 months since Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road ended?
Ajin – 26 (END)

「僕も約束しますよ、佐藤さん」 (Boku mo Yakusoku Shimasu yo, Satou-san)
“I Make Promises Too, Satou-san”
If this is indeed how Ajin concludes, I’m quite happy with the way it did so.
Girlish Number – 12 (END)

「烏丸千歳と……」 (Karasuma Chitose to…..)
“Chitose Karasuma and…”
OK, sigh of relief officially breathed…
Udon no Kuni no Kiniro Kemari – 12 (END)

「かけうどん」 (Kake Udon)
“Udon Noodles”
What is it about tanuki that packs such an emotional punch, anyway?

「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.

「高松 祭り」 (Takamatsu Matsuri)
“Takamatsu Festival”
At this point, it’s hard to imagine Souta having any definition of “family happiness” that doesn’t include Poko himself as a big part of it.

「僕はやりませんよ」 (Boku wa Yarimasen Yo)
“I Won’t Do it”
There you go Japan, making America the bad guys again…
