「迷い猫、泣いた」 (Mayoi Neko, Naita)
“Stray Cat, Cried”
One of the things that have impressed me with AIC‘s work in comedies as of late is their tendency to try and tie in every episode with those before it, which isn’t something that one would normally expect from this genre.

「お留守番！」 (Orusuban!)
“Staying Behind!”
Azu-nyan says, “Live long and prosper!” Actually, no she doesn’t, but I can always pretend that she did when she taught some guitar finger stretching exercises to the first-years in Jun’s Jazz Research Society club.

「夏の陰画」 (Natsu no Inga)
“Photo Negative of Summer”
As suggested in the preview last time, this week we have a mini story on an old friend of Kazura’s, whom he starts asking around about after seeing him in a photo that Aoi took.

「マゼランの奇策！はばまれた脱獄計画」 (Mazeran no Kisaku! Habamareta Datsugoku Sakusen)
“Magellan’s Scheme! The Jailbreak is Obstructed”
A Candlewax Robot Suit? A Makeshift Boat from a Wooden Door? A Merman knowing Rasengan? Only in One Piece!

「帰らぬ日々白き明日」 (Kaeranu Hibi Shiroki Ashita)
“A Daily Lifestyle He Can’t Return To and An Unknown Future”
There were probably a few more tears than needed from Yuki this time around, but I’m still okay with the male emotional angst given the backstory to his character.

「5 BRIDGE」
I wasn’t expecting any addition opening sequences in this series, but I’m not complaining or anything when it’s Sawashiro Miyuki performing the theme. It’s just too bad we’re not getting really catchy songs like in Bakemonogatari.

「ある風邪の日に…、いつもと違うワグナリア」 (Aru Kaze no Hi no…, Itsumo to Chigau Wagunaria)
“A Different Wagnaria than Usual on a Sick Day”
I’m still having a hard time liking Mahiru’s character outside of her ability to give Hiroomi the punishment he deserves. There’s really been little to no improvement in her androphobia as Souta can attest to.

「#05」
There’s just something about watching people desperately struggle against all odds and succeeding that I find incredibly moving.

「大人たちの生き様」 (Otona-tachi no Ikizama)
“The Adults’ Way of Life”
It’s time for the kiddies to step aside and let the adults show them how it’s done. From the Armstrong siblings to Izumi and Sig’s arrival into the Central fray, homunculus or not, Sloth doesn’t stand a chance when he’s up against that much brute strength — particularly Izumi’s.
