「属鞘」 (Zokusyou)
“Zokusho”
Things continue to move along at a brisk but manageable pace with Arata Kangatari, which as yet stubbornly refuses to offer up any clues suggesting radical changes to the storyline to compensate for its brevity.

「ふくからに」 (Fukukara ni)
“Gust of Wind”
I’ll give this to Chihayfuru – more than any series, it’s managed to turn poetry into a blood sport.

「ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:Q 」 (Evangelion Shin Gekijouban Q)
“You Can (Not) Redo”
When I posted my thoughts about Eva Q after seeing it raw in a Japanese theater last December, I opened with "What the heck did I just see?" After seeing the movie subtitled, I have two further thoughts on that. First, I sure as hell don’t blame myself for asking that question. And second, seeing it subbed doesn’t come remotely close to answering the question for me.

「覚醒」 (Kakusei)
“Awakening”
I see a lot of hopeful signs for Arata Kangatari, but the road ahead is still a puzzling one.

「みゆきまたなむ」 (Miyu Kimatanamu)
“Wait for the Emperor’s Return”
Last week, I described Chihayafuru as “exquisite torture”. If I were to say that again today, I’d be half right.

「審判」 (Rekkoningu)
“The Reckoning”
Arata Kangatari is certainly showing no signs of panic, considering the realities of the calendar.

「サイカイ×ト×リカイ」 (Saikai × to × Rikai)
“Reunion × And × Understanding”
It’s pretty rare in TV anime that we truly see history being made, but this is one of those moments when we do. For that reason, I thought it was appropriate to do one my occasional Hunter X Hunter posts for Random Curiosity.

「たごのうらに」 (Tago no Ura ni)
“No Matter Where I Stand”
Watching this season of Chihayafuru has become a sort of exquisite torture.

「劍神」 (HAYAGAMI)
“Hayagami”
Two episodes in, my feelings about Arata Kangatari are pretty much unchanged from where they were a week ago.

「ものやおもふと ひとのとふまで」 (Mono Yaomofuto Hito no Tofumade)
“People Would Always Ask If I Was Pining for Someone”
Team matches certainly present an interesting litany of choices for a sports mangaka, don’t they?
