The moon truly is beautiful tonight.

We changed our dreams into your dream! That’s what parents do! That’s what a family does! – Akio Furukawa

「斜陽」 (Shayō)
“The Setting Sun”

The passionate kiss at the end is what I would imagine their 60th Summer of Love to continue being like. Arguably it was worth the stress of this episode.

“The Wind Rises”

And reality came crashing back down.

「ヰタ・セクスアリス」 (Vita Sekusuarisu)
“Vita Sexualis”

Before I start, thanks for the splendid coverage last week Enzo! And now, let the gushing commence.

「惜しみなく愛は奪う」 (Oshiminaku Ai wa ubau)
“Hold Back Nothing When Taking Love”

Man, this show is going to be the death of me yet.

「走れメロス!」 (Hashire merosu!)
“Run, Melos!”

“People exist for love and revolution” – Dazai

「こころ」 (Kokoro)
“Kokoro”

They held hands. That’s like, so lewd!

「通り雨」 (Tooriame)
“Passing Shower”

I thought this would be one of my relaxing slice of life shows this season. The anxiety I got from watching Akane and Kotarou says otherwise. But it was absolutely amazing!

“Howling at the Moon”

The lack of Dazai quotes was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

“A Handful of Sand”

If Kuzu no Honkai scarred you last season, Tsuki ga Kirei might just be what you currently need in your life.

「春と修羅」 (Haru to Shura)
“Spring and Hard Times”

‘Tsuki ga Kirei’ as well as meaning ‘The Moon is Beautiful’ is also a figurative way of saying ‘I love you’.
