「タイトゥン・アップ／génération bleu」 (Taitun Appu)
“Tighten Up”
This marks the second in the collaboration between Zephyr and Myself to provide two perspectives on two of the season’s best shows – E7:Astral Ocean and Jormungand. I hope you’ve enjoyed our little experiment – if you’ve had half as much fun reading these posts as we did writing them, then we enjoyed them twice as much as you.

「バードランドの子守唄」 (Bādorando no komori-uta)
“Lullaby of Birdland”
“Realism” is a term that gets thrown around almost as much as “slice-of-life”, and likewise incorrectly most of the time – but Sakamichi no Apollon is that rare series that earns the descriptor.

「スティル・ファイティング／secret operation」 (Sutiru Faitingu)
“Still Fighting”
On every scene change this week I kept thinking “It can’t be over yet, can it?” I wanted this ep to keep going and going but it felt as if it flew by, and that’s a sure sign that everything is clicking. With a setup this interesting, a MC this good and a beloved franchise that’s still being held mostly in reserve, the potential for Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean seems almost unlimited.

「いつか王子様が」
“Someday My Prince Will Come”
Why does everyone make this anime thing out to be so hard? Just do it like that.
