Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu – Into the Darkness

The happy end to a long and tumultuous journey.

I bet you didn’t expect such a dramatic title for the cute-girls-doing-airsoft show, eh? Funny thing is, it deserves it. This is one of those rare shows that risks making us hate its protagonist in order to give us a better, more rich story full of real drama, genuine character development, and at the end of the day, an uplifting tale made all the better for the darkness through which it descended. This may be the best show you’re not watching this season.

Ginga Kikoutai Majestic Prince – 24 (END)

「宇宙に散る花」 (Uchū ni chiru hana)
“Flowers that Fall in Space”

A majestic “Wing of Light”, guiding both the humans and the Wulgaru to a brand new evolutionary path – this was a finale that seems more like a new beginning than an actual conclusion!

Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui! – 12 (END)

「モテないし、将来を考える」 (Motenai shi, Shōrai o Kangaeru)
“Since I’m Not Popular, I’ll Think About the Future”

It’s not an exaggeration to say that shows like Watashi ga Motenai no wa Dou Kangaete mo Omaera ga Warui! are what give me hope for anime.

Final Impressions / First Impressions / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai. – 14-16 (TRUE END)

I swear this is the most appropriate image for the excerpt.

「妹(あたし)が兄(あいつ)に恋なんてするわけない／俺の妹がこんなに可愛い／俺の妹がこんなに可愛いわけがない。」
(Ore ga Kanojo ni Kokuhaku Nante Aru Wake ga Nai / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii / Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai.)
“Little Sisters Can’t Fall in Love With Their Older Brothers! / My Little Sister Is This Cute / My Little Sister Can’t Be This Cute.”

Final Impressions / First Impressions / Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko

Hentai Ouji to Warawanai Neko. – 12 (END)

「変態王子と記憶の外」 (Hentai Ouji to Kioku no Soto)
“The Pervert Prince and Outside the Memories”

There was one piece of the puzzle required to make the plot make sense, and we finally got it. The self-sacrificing hero and his memories…I would expect no less from our Ouji, hentai or not.
