Random Curiosity

「だから私たちは、かけがえのない一人を選ぶ」 (Dakara Watashitachi wa, Kakegae No Nai Hitori wo Erabu)
“And That’s Why We Choose our Irreplaceable Partners”

I don’t know how Harukana managed to do it, but I don’t think we could have asked for a better finale.

Anyone up for a game of Kabbadi?

Chio-chan is in good company as a comedy anime that can stand with the rest of this season’s heavy-hitters.

「新たなる伝説」 (Arata naru densetsu)
“The New Legend”

As if this adventure could end any other way.

「真贋対戦」 (Shingan Taisen)
“Battle for Legitimacy”

We finally arrive at where we were always going: all the girls, naked with Diablo.

「ストーミー・ナイト / メイク・マイ・デイ」 (Sutoumii Naito / Meiku Mai Dei)
“Stormy Night / Make My Day”

That’s better.

「わたしを離さないで」 (Watashi o Hanasanaide)
“Never Let Me Go”

And you thought there would only be one baby in this show.

「life.MAXIMUM vs power.MAXIMUM 学園祭のライオンハート」 (Life. MAXIMUM vs power. MAXIMUM Gakuensai no Raionhaato)
“life.MAXIMUM vs. power.MAXIMUM Lion Heart of the School Festival”

This season ends with a bang, and something sweeter.

Good friends, except that time they got rich.

I did not expect the anime based on the free-to-play mobile game to spend its season ridiculing and satirizing gacha systems and gambling more generally, but here we are. It was so fun!

「君がいるだけで」 (Kimi ga Iru Dake de)
“As Long As You Are Here”

Everything’s back to normal. Right?

「無敵の私たち」 (Muteki no Watashitachi)
“We Are Unstoppable”

Use the Force, Hisone.

「拍手」 (Hakushu)
“Applause”

It all makes sense now – M stands for Masochist!

「俺も、一生、忘れない」 (Ore mo, Isshou, Wasurenai)
“I’ll Never Forget It, Either”

This final episode was astounding, for what it did that the rest of the series hardly dared: when it was time to go big or go home, it went big. Anime, be ambitious!

Is it normal to be hungry and full at the same time?

Yotsuiro Biyori is a light yet fulfilling entree for anyone into food, tea, coffee, desserts and cats.

That cape, though, is still a mystery.

Turns out there was a plan all along. It just didn’t come through clearly until the series was nearly finished.

「死線(後編)」 (Shisen (kouhen))
“The Verge of Death (Part II)”

Gearing up for the showdown of the ages.
