TARI TARI – 04, 05, 06
「怒ったり 踊ったり」 (Ikatta ri Odotta ri)
“Angry and Dancing”
From the start, I had TARI TARI as my pick for surprise of the season. After these few episodes, I’m darn sure I made the right choice.
Kokoro Connect – 05
「ある告白、そして死は……」 (Aru Kokuhaku, Soshite Shi wa…)
“A Confession, and then a Death…”
Someone once mentioned that this was the best anime of the season and I can definitely back that up with this episode.
Kuroko no Basuke – 18
「嫌だ!!」 (Dame da!!)
“No!!”
Does it make me a masochist or a sadist if I enjoyed the pain inflicted on the Seirin members in this conclusion to the Touou vs. Seirin match?
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse – 06
「群青」 (Gunjou)
“Ultramarine”
It’s that time of the year for Tortilla Chips Total Eclipse… time to change the motor oil. This week, we get our obligatory beach episode, ripe with fanservice and attitude 180s from Yui and Bridges. Definitely some “oil changing” alright.
Slightly NSFW Screenshots.
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita – 06
「妖精さんたちの、おさとがえり」 (Yōsei-san-tachi no, Osatogaeri)
“The Fairies’ Homecoming”
Jinrui definitely rewards the viewer who wants to be challenged and likes to pay attention to what they’re watching. I wouldn’t want every series to be that way, but thank goodness we occasionally get one that meets the description as an antidote to the dozens that don’t.
La storia della Arcana Famiglia – 06
「A Bordo! – La Battaglia Finale」
“On Board! – The Final Battle”
There is a lot going on in today’s action filled episode of La storia della Arcana Famiglia…
Uchuu Kyoudai – 19
「さらばの前の日」 (Saraba no Mae no Hi)
“The Day Before Goodbye”
It’s a little sad knowing that soon we’ll be parting with some of the other candidates.
Sword Art Online – 05
「圏内事件」 (Kennai Jiken)
“A Crime Within the Walls”
If there’s one thing you don’t see very often in an MMO, it’s a murder mystery.
