Jigokuraku – 03, 04
「弱さと強さ / 地獄と極楽」 (Yowasa to Tsuyosa / Jigoku to Gokuraku)
“Weakness and Strength / Hell and Paradise”
On the fence has never wrung truer.
Vinland Saga Season 2 – 15
「嵐」 (Arashi)
“Storm”
The elegance and depth of Yukimura Makoto’s writing leaves me in awe sometimes.
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia – 02
「猫の⽬星 さそり座の二番星」 (Neko no Meboshi -Sasoriza no Nibanboshi-)
“Mu Scorpii -The Cat’s Eyes-“
This is definitely the season of irresistible anime couples, and Ganta and Isaki rank right up there.
Tengoku Daimakyou – 03
「桐子と春希」 (Kiriko to Haruki)
“Kiriko and Haruki”
This is the episode when Tengoku Daimakyou really starts to get weird.
Vinland Saga Season 2 – 14
「自由」 (Jiyuu)
“Freedom”
One of the things this series is about, for sure, is the question of whether it’s possible to find meaning in an unjust world.
Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia – 01
「能登星」 (Notoboshi)
“Capella”
A series about an insomniac boy by Lidenfilms starring Satou Gen?
Hmmm.
Jigokuraku – 02
「選別と選択」 (Senbetsu to Sentaku)
“Screening and Choosing”
It seems like Jigokuraku has a bit of a split personality to it.
Tengoku Daimakyou – 02
「二人の告白」 (Futari no Kokuhaku)
“Two Confessions”
Truth be told, it would be hard to imagine a better opening two episodes than this.
Vinland Saga Season 2 – 13
「暗雲」 (An’un)
“Dark Clouds”
There’s so much I could be talking about here, after an episode this emotionally complex and intellectually dense, that it’s hard to know where to start.
