Random Curiosity

「Welcome to GBN」

And then Kirito comes in and wins everything with his “Turn A Strike Freedom Destiny Raiser Wing Zero Custom” Gunpla.

「瘯心の渦中で」 (Shishin no Kachuu de)
“The the Midst of Jealousy”

The foundations for a long-term plot are being put in place, but the short-term rewards are limited.

「新しい血」 (Atarashi Chi)
“New Blood”

Tekketsu no Orphans is back with a bang: an abundance of re-introductions, strong production values, and plenty of hints to future plots.

「鉄華団」 (Tekkadan)
“Tekkadan”

Whatever that second season turns out to be, I certainly hope it focuses heavily on McGillis because a season of him screwing over people sounds like Tekketsu no Orphans‘ most compelling option by far.

「未来の報酬」 (Mirai no houshuu)
“Future Reward”

I can’t be the only one who wanted to puke during that inspirational speech, can I?

「最後の嘘」 (Saigo no Uso)
“Last Lie”

That was every bit as bleak as I expected it to be.

「まだ還れない」 (Mada Kaerenai)
“Not Yet Home”

One week after Biscuit Day and Iron-Blooded Orphans returns with a rather low-key and somber episode.

「還るべき場所へ」 (Kaerubeki Kasho e)
“To The Place Of Return”

Well, this is one of those episodes where I don’t suppose there’s much point in talking about anything that happened before the ending.

「相棒」 (Aibou)
“Partner”

This was definitely my favorite episode of Orphans in at least a month, so it won’t surprise me if it goes over like a lead Zeppelin.

「願いの重力」 (Negai no Juuryoku)
“Gravity of Desire”

It may not be the best idea to watch Tekketsu no Orphans right after watching Gundam Thunderbolt, but it does present an interesting perspective on Gundam history.

「声」 (Koe)
“Voice”

What a puddle of contradictions is Iron-Blooded Orphans.

「クーデリアの決意」 (Kuuderia no Ketsui)
“Kudelia’s Decision”

On balance that was definitely an improvement for Tekketsu no Orphans.

「フミタン・アドモス」 (Fumitan Adomosu)
“Fumitan Admoss”

I think this was an episode that highlighted the lingering issues with Tekketsu no Orphans.

「足跡のゆくえ」 (Ashiato no Yukue)
“Trail of Footprints”

Warm up the fan, because something is about to hit it.

「希望を運ぶ船」 (Kibou o Hakobu Fune)
“Vessel of Hope”

Never let it be said that Tekketsu no Orphans lets the grass grow under its feet.
