「坊ちゃんとアリスと魔法のプール」 (Botchan to Arisu to mahō no pūru)
“The Duke, Alice, and the Magic Pool”
For me, this adaptation is always a tug of war between appreciating what it is and lamenting what it could be.

「バックアップ」 (Bakkuappu)
“Backup”
The philosophical dilemma here is as classic sci-fi as it gets

I’ve been waiting for this for a long time so good luck trying to shut me up about it.

「最古の星 メトツエラ」 (Saikoboshi -Metotsuera-)
“The Oldest Star -Methuselah-“
I’ll say this much. If I hadn’t seen the leak that a second season of Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia had been greenlit, I would have said this played very much like an ending.

「迷い星 惑星」 (Mayoiboshi -Wakusei-)
“Planet -Wandering Star-“
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia getting a second season is a legit surprise to me – but I’m sure not complaining

「旅の続き・旅の始まり」 (Tabi no Tsuzuki Tabi no Hajimari)
“The Journey Continues and Begins”
This show has been simply great on every level

「夜明けの⼀番星 プレアデス星团」 (Yoake no Ichibanboshi -Pureadesu Hoshi-)
“The First Stars of Dawn -The Pleiades Star Cluster-“
I’ll just say this much. It’s testament to how otherworldly good Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu is that Isaki and Ganta aren’t the best couple of the season.

This way the ideas in this story naturally flowed until they’d carved its only possible course was a marvel of brilliant writing.
「故郷」 (Kokyou)
“Home”

「弱イと強イ」 (Yowai to Tsuyoi)
“Weak and Strong”
Is it just me, or was that doushi being incredibly helpful in explaining the entire Tao system in the middle of a battle?

「外の外」 (Soto no Soto)
“Outside of the Outside”
An episode that will leave a mark
