Someone at Studio Ghibli enjoyed working on Ni no Kuni immensely, it seems.

「フェイズ４９」 (Feizu 49)
“Phase 49”
It almost feels like Yowamushi Pedal never went on break last season, considering how this episode jumped in right where the last ended – mid-way through the intense final stretch of the second day of the Inter High.

“The Circumstances in My Home’s Bathtub”

「『異変』アルファ・エピソード」 ((Ihen) Arufa Episoodo)

「円盤の街 」 (Enban no Machi)

「業火-HELL FIRE-」 (Gōka -HELL FIRE-)
“Hell Fire”
For a series that is flying under everyone’s radar, Garo: Honoo no Kokuin really proved itself with an stellar opening episode on all accounts. If you’re looking for a medieval fantasy with witches, knights, demons and darkness all melded together, then this will deliver.

「戦場の風姫」 (Senjou no Fuuki)
“Wind Princess of the Battlefield”
Confident and unabashed—that’s how I would describe Madan no Ou to Vanadis. Whether it be the action, the character’s personalities, or even the (occasional, and light) fanservice, it’s suffused with a confident air of people who live simple, dangerous, and sometimes short lives—but do so without regret. A solid start to an interesting fantasy series.

「堕とされた皇女」 (Oto sare ta ōjo)
“The Fallen Princess”
Considering the thematic foci at hand, one would’ve hoped for better execution. This was a tale of two halves if I’ve ever seen one, and I’m not sure what to think of this series right now.
