「集まり星」 (Atsumari Hoshi)
“The Congregation Star”
The anime doesn’t do a whole lot to enhance the manga experience, but as a faithful adaptation this one is doing a very fine job

「勇気」 (Yuki)
“Courage”
When a series has set as ridiculously high a standard as Vinland has this season, even the smallest off note sounds pretty discordant.

「学園の子供たち」 (Gakuen no Kodomo-tachi)
“Children of the Nursery”
Reality is never as clear-cut as you think it is

「弟子と師」 (Deshi to Shi)
“Student and Master”
I can’t shake the vibe that this show has more than a whiff of death porn about it

This show is such a work of art

「走り星 流星」 (Hashiriboshi -Ryuusei-)

「ケティル農場の戦い」 ( “Ketiru Noujou no Tatakai)
“The Battle of Ketil’s Farm”

「花と贄」 (Hana to Nie)
“Flowers and Offerings”
In accordance with my usual policy of not burying the headline, that was by far, far the best episode of Jigokuraku so far for my tastes.
