Natsuiro Kiseki – 11

「当たって砕けろ!東京シンデレラツアー」 (Atatte Kudakero! Toukyou Shinderera Tsua)
“Give it a Shot! Tokyo Cinderella Tour”

The audition. This episode represented the girls’ last, best chance to do something so they could all stay together forever. Or was it? Let me tell you, a lot happened this episode, and it was one of the best ones of the entire show.

Eureka Seven AO – 10

「リリース・ユア・セルフ/the pied piper of Hamelin」 (Rirīsu Yua Serufu)
“Release Yourself”

This episode was illustrative of why I think Ao works so well as a MC. He’s 12 – he’s scared, he’s reckless and he exercises poor judgment. But courage isn’t never being afraid – that’s stupidity – but in being afraid and doing what has to be done anyway.

Medaka Box – 12 (END)

「黒神めだかがいなくても!」 (Kurokami Medaka ga Inakutemo)
“Even Without Kurokami Medaka!”

So here we are, the anime original finale to the first season of Medaka Box. It’s been rather an up and down ride along the way, but this final episode – despite being anime original – feels like ending on a high note.
