「ムシ×ダケド×カシ」 (Mushi x Dakedo x Kashi)
“An x Indebted x Insect”
It’s not that often I can say this with anime, but I’ve truly never seen anything like what Hunter X Hunter is doing right now.
Space Dandy – 03

「騙し騙される事もあるじゃんよ」 (Damashi Damasareru Koto mo Aru jan yo)
“Occasionally Even the Deceiver Is Deceived, Baby”
Whatever they’re putting in the water over at BONES these days, I wish they’d sell it at the local kusuri-ya.
Nagi no Asukara – 15

「笑顔の守り人」 (Egao no Mamoribito)
“The Protector of Smiles”
As good as last week’s episode was, getting its best character back really makes a difference for Nagi no Asukara.

「八軒、副ぶちょーを拾う」 (Hachiken, fukubucho o hiro)
“Hachiken Finds the Vice-President”
Well, you have to admit he’s a lot cuter than Dick Cheney.

「カイブツ×ト×カイブツ」 (Kaibutsu x to x Kaibutsu)
“”Monster × And × Monster” “
I suppose if Togashi-sensei can turn one minute into an entire episode, I can get a few paragraphs out of it – but boy, he sure doesn’t make it easy to describe what he – and Madhouse – are accomplishing here.

「幻の宇宙ラーメンを探すじゃんよ」 (Maboroshi no Uchū Rāmen o Sagasu jan yo)

It finally feels as if the anime season has started, thanks to this week’s Space Dandy.

「夏が来た] (Natsu ga kita)

Time heals all wounds, so the old saying goes. I only wish that were true.
Hoozuki no Reitetsu – 01

“The Biggest Hell/Strange Discovery in Hell”
Winter’s oddest series joins the fray.

「八軒、副部長になる」 (Hachiken, fuku buchou ni naru)

Some things never change. And thank goodness for that.

「トツニュウ × シテ × シンニュウ」 (Kougeki x to x Sekeiru)
“Charge × And × Invade”
After 111 episodes of brilliance – and a preview full of spoilers – Hunter X Hunter can still utterly surprise me. That’s brilliant writing and direction, plain and simple.
