「契約不履行」 (Keiyaku Furikō)
“Breach of contract”
Well, give yourself a cookie if you figured it out…

「新生江ノ高サッカー部」
“Enoshima Soccer Club Reborn”
I’m sort of hoping that the medical profession in Japan isn’t using Area no Kishi as a reference, because some of the stuff that happens to human bodies in this series seems a little hinky to me.

「をのへのさくらさきにけり」 (Onoe no Sakura Saki ni keri)
“Nobody Wishes to See the Beautiful Cherry Blossoms”
After bonding with Chihayafuru for six months, I really want a finale next week that focuses on Chihaya, Taichi, and Arata (and preferably includes Harada and the Chibis) and touches the heart in the way only this show has been able to do lately.

「惨劇」 (Sangeki)
“Makeup”
After blogging the latest episodes of Mirai Nikki and Another back to back, I may need to take in this week’s Natsume Yuujinchou Shi and Ano Natsu eps directly via IV drip, stat.

「サッカー部分裂」 (Sekkaabu Bunretsu)
“The Division of the Soccer Club”
I sort of get the idea I’m siding with the wrong group (and this isn’t even Shakugan no Shana) but I was pretty much in agreement with the FC boys this episode.

「漆黒」 (Shikkoku)
“Glass eye”
Quick tip for new Another viewers – you might not want to watch the last minute of this episode without an extra pair of underwear handy. Fortunately, in Japan they sell those in vending machines.

「暗証番号」 (Anshō Bangō)
“PIN”
So I guess those cute little omakes with Muru-Muru just wouldn’t feel right anymore, would they?

「小さな魔女」 (Chiisana Majo)
“Little Witch”
I had pretty well convinced myself that Area no Kishi wasn’t going to have the depth I thought it would going in, but there were signs this week that I may have given up too soon.
