DOG DAYS’ – 01
「勇者見参!」 (Yuusha Kenzan!)
“The Hero has Arrived”
Here we are again, in this land of nekomimis and inumimis….
Chouyaku Hyakunin Isshu: Uta Koi – 02
「貞明と綏子 陽成院」 (Sadaakira to Yasuko Youzei In)
“Sadaakira and Yasuko – Former Emperor Youzei”
The loose continuity Uta Koi features in its second episode is rather nice, giving it an unexpectedly cohesive feel and an added depth . More than that though, the use of poetry is thoroughly explored as a means to express one’s true desires and feelings.
Rinne no Lagrange 2 – 01
「おかえり、鴨川!」 (Okaeri, Kamogawa!)
“Welcome Home, Kamogawa!”
Back with the second half of the tale, Rinne no Lagrange begins by evoking emotions that paint a dire picture of a galaxy at war. Not all is right in Madoka’s world, and it’s up to her to set things right…if only she could get Vox Aura to fly.
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse – 02
「帝都燃ゆ (後編)」 (Teito Moyu (Kouhen))
“Burning Capital, Part 2”
Laugh at the silly acronym all you want, but these BETA aren’t to be trifled with.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou – 01
「信奈とサル」 (Nobuna to Saru)
“Nobuna and the Monkey”
It’s another anime about the Sengoku period, but should you be so quick to dismiss it?
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II – 01
「朱の場の部員達」 (Shu No Ba No Buin Tachi)
“Club Members in Scarlet”
Musashi starts off fighting Tres España, and then flies straight into another confrontation, this one with Great Britain. They just can’t get a break, can they? Hopefully not, because the action, the comedy, the romance…this episode was fun!
Accel World – 13
「Violation; 侵入」 (Shinnyuu)
I was expecting a new OP and ED this week! It would’ve been perfectly timed with the new arc and the introduction of a new mysterious student.
