「中身 ～悪霊～」 (Nakami ~ Akuryou ~)
“Inside ~Evil Spirit~”
It goes without saying that Mob Psycho 100 is a series with tremendous tonal versatility, and we’ve seen a good chunk of that range in the first four eps of this season.
The King is dead – long live the King! Well – wounded anyway. Peeved, at least.

「かぐや様は交換したい／藤原ちゃんは出かけたい／白銀御行は隠したい」 (Kagu ya-sama wa Koukan Shitai/ Fujiwara-chan wa Dekaketai/ Shirogane Onkou wa Kakushitai)
“Miyuki Shirogane Still Hasn’t Done It / Kaguya Wants to Be Figured Out / Kaguya Wants to Walk”
Three episodes is a pretty decent window in which to formulate an opinion, and sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

「重ねる危険 ～変質～」 (Kasaneru Kiken ~ Henshitsu ~)
“One Danger After Another ~Degeneration~”
OK Dororo, the ball’s back in your court…
Winter 2019 is in full swing now (only Piano no Morii left to premiere – thanks, Gaina), and this week’s voting is all over the map.

「かぐや様は交換したい／藤原ちゃんは出かけたい／白銀御行は隠したい」 (Kagu ya-sama wa Koukan Shitai/ Fujiwara-chan wa Dekaketai/ Shirogane Onkou wa Kakushitai)
“Kaguya Wants to Trade / Chika Wants to Go Somewhere / Miyuki Wants to Hide His Ignorance”
Some shows are slam-dunks one way or the other, some you feel indifferent about, but this is one of those that pulls you in two different directions.

「都市伝説 ～噂との遭遇～」 (Toshi Densetsu ~ Uwasa to no Sougu ~ ~)
“Urban Legend ~ Encounter With Rumors ~
It’s in the fitting of these disparate elements together that both ONE and the anime team really display the full heights of their ability, and in their hands even a seemingly routine episode like this one becomes truly exceptional.

「映画に誘わせたい／かぐや様は止められたい／かぐや様はいただきたい」 (Eiga ni sasowa setai/ Kaguya-sama wa tome raretai/ kaguya-sama wa itadakitai)
“I Will Make You Invite Me to a Movie, ‘Kaguya Wants to Be Stopped, Kaguya Wants It”
I was feeling oddly trepidatious going into this premiere.
A new year, a new anime season – and a new batch of opinions from your crack(ed) RC team!

「ビリビリ ～誰かが見ている～」 (Biribiri)
“Someone is Watching”
I’m going to need a few minutes to bask in the glory…
