「こよみトーラス」 (Koyomi Tōrasu)
“Koyomi Torus”
Doughnuts! What a mysterious, supernatural force.
「名誉に値段はつけられない, ビクトリア島緊急追撃戦 II」 (Meiyo ni Nedan wa Tsukerarenai, Bikutoriatou Kinkyuu Tsuigekisen II)
“You Can’t Put a Price on Honor, The Critical Running Battle on Victoria Island II”
Complain about stereotypes all you want — I loved everything about this week’s episode. Everything.
「救出」 (Kyuushutsu)
“Rescue”
Execution is still rough, but the underlying thrust of the story here isn’t bad. It just needed to happen twelve episodes ago.
「#9」
We’ve been gradually building up to the moment where everything would go horribly wrong, and now we’ve reached it. Rakugo Shinjuu is a tragedy in the making, and watching the horror unfold week by week is proving equally painful and brilliant.
「2週目の時間」 (Nishuume no Jikan)
“Round Two Time”
Damn, that wasn’t what I was expecting. Well, I sort of saw it coming, but it doesn’t make it any less scarier!
「超怖い話ガムと台風と…/けん玉とプチプチ占いチョコと…」 (Chou Kowai Hanashi Gamu to Taifuu to…/ Kendama to Puchipuchi Uranai Choko to…)
“Super Scary Story Gum and Typhoons and… / Kendama and Pop Pop Fortune Chocolates and…”
Scary stories, popularity schemes, and fortune-telling. Whatever the case, Saya (& Hotaru) rock.
「彼女と彼女の部屋」 (Kanojo to Kanojo no Heya)
“She and Her Apartment”
Shinkai Makoto’s famed short about a job hunting girl and her loving black cat gets a picturesque remake, and it’s just as depressing as I remember.
