Tsuritama – 08 & 09

「嬉しくてファイティング / 衝撃のアンダーウォーター」 (Ureshikute Faiteingu / Shougeki no Andauota)
“Joyous Fighting / Striking Underwater”

The reveal of the Tsuritama’s great mystery was rather underwhelming, but otherwise the show is on a roll as we enter the climax.

*For those of you following my AKB0048 posts, I have also included a short note explaining the delay.*

Hiiro no Kakera – 11

「鬼の伝承」 (Oni no Denshou)
“Tradition of the Demon”

What? Plot? In my Hiiro no Kakera? Quick – someone roll out the red carpet because it needs to be given the VVVVVIP treatment and convinced to stay! Seriously though, there was a huge leap forward this week, and it was even weaved in together nicely with some character development!

Natsuiro Kiseki – 10

「たいふうゆうれい、今日のオモイデ」 (Taifu Yuurei, Kyou no Omoide)
“A Typhoon, Ghosts, and Today’s Memory”

The Big Rock sometimes seems to act like a classic “monkey’s paw,” where wishes are fulfilled in ways the wishers didn’t intend. Well, except for the fact that here they usually lead to a fun little adventure, instead of soul-shattering horrors the likes of which man was never meant to experience. So I guess it’s nothing like it at all.
