「日常２５」 (Nichijou 25)
“My Ordinary Life 25”
Really Kyoani, really? Spending the first half of the episode on two (technically one extended) skits? I’ll have to say that if you were planning on closing this series with some sort of bang, you’ve set the bar pretty high.

「ぼくのかけら」 (Boku no Kakera)
“Pieces of Me”
With the world in a rut about Ayaka’s suicide attempt, I was elated to see that she is still alive.

「にゅ！」 (Nyu!)
“NYU~“
At this point in time, it’s hard to watch how awkward things are between Jirou and Subaru. That is, until a little bit of alcohol is thrown into the mix.

「雄二と翔子と幼い思い出」 (Yuuji to Shouko to Osanai Omoide)
“Yuuji, Shouko, and their Childhood Memories”
Color me surprised, but I never expected that an episode focused solely on Shouko and Yuuji would be one of the better ones from a show that’s supposed to be about the laughs. Actually, if the rest of the episodes were this deep than there might not even be a need to bring back those slapstick jokes!

「夏休みカタストロフィ」 (Natsuyasumi Katasutorophi)
“Summer Vacation Catastrophe”
Wait, are you telling me that this spectacular episode wasn’t the ending?

「ラスボスは四十万スイ」 (Rasubosu wa Shijima Sui)
“Last Boss — Shijima Sui”
Even when given the opportunity to resolve all the problems in the world, I’m baffled by how Ohana didn’t utilize the almost perfect chance she was given to reveal everything she had to offer to Ko. She even went as far as covering his mouth to prevent him from uttering those three simple words — only to give up right at the last moment!

「僕と恋路と恋愛術」 (Boku to Koiji To Renaijutsuu)
“Me, Romance, and the Art of Love!”
I don’t know how he did it, and I don’t really care how he did it, but he did it. Somehow clawing his way back from the brinks of death, at least romantically, Akihisa has once again proved his worth as the stupidest but best protagonist of the season.

「神隠しの同級生」 (Kamikakushi no Doukyuusei)
“Classmate Spirited Away”
In an effort to push the story forward, I think that this show is slipping back into the problem of pushing too much story into one episode. Using the Beach Arc as an example of how things can get really fun and interesting when it’s broken up into pieces, I’m hoping that these last few episodes can bring some kind of closure without making it feel like a cop out.

「きみについて」 (Kimi ni Tsuite)
“About You”
Well, if you were expecting something big to happen in this show — it just happened.
