「妖精さんたちの、さぶかる」 (Yōsei-san-tachi no, Sabukaru)
“The Fairies’ Subculture”
I can’t recall another anime that’s surprised me as often in three episodes as Jinrui has.

「シーズ・ア・レインボウ/moonlight ship」 (Shīzu A Reinbō)
“She’s a Rainbow”
Gonna need the thesaurus to try and do justice to how amazing this episode was.

「妖精さんの、ひみつのこうじょう」 (Yousei-san no, Himitsu no Koujou)
“The Fairies’ Secret Factory”
Tanaka Romeo and Kishi Seiji have thrown down the gauntlet: is it possible to make an anime that’s too weird? The answer, my friends, is a resounding “No!”

「廃部」
“Hive”
There weren’t too many surprises in the first episode of Koichoco, but there were at least enough twists to make the road seem like it might be an interesting one.

「妖精さんの、ひみつのこうじょう」 (Yousei-san no, Himitsu no Koujou)
“The Fairies’ Secret Factory”
It was smelling a little stale after the first batch of formulaic season premières, but Jinrui wa Suitai shimashita blew through the room like a breath of fresh – albeit very strange – air.

「プラトー・オブ・ミラー/mirror of the world」 (Puratō Obu Mirā)
“Plateaux of Mirror”
If you want intrigue and mystery, this episode of AO should be your one-stop shopping for the week.

「オール・ブルース」 (Ōru burūsu)
“All Blues”
Whatever else you might think of the final episode – or of the eleven that preceded it – I think it’s hard to argue that Watanabe-sensei isn’t a directorial genius of the first order.

「リリース・ユア・セルフ/the pied piper of Hamelin」 (Rirīsu Yua Serufu)
“Release Yourself”
This episode was illustrative of why I think Ao works so well as a MC. He’s 12 – he’s scared, he’s reckless and he exercises poor judgment. But courage isn’t never being afraid – that’s stupidity – but in being afraid and doing what has to be done anyway.

「 レフト・アローン」 (Refuto aroun)
“Left Alone”
Of all the episodes of Sakamichi so far, this one might be the most difficult to get a handle on.
