「足りない日々」 (Tarinai Hibi)
“Days of Missing”
Houston, Texas, home of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, quite possibly the location of many childhood dream vacations.

「スマフォに夢中/わくわくドライブレッスン)」 (Sumafo ni Muchū/Wakuwaku Doraibu Resson)
“Obsessed with Smartphones/Super Fun Driving Lesson”
Panda: representing the spoiled brat we all don’t ever want to land ourselves with in the future.
Note: no, this image setup isn’t going to be a regular thing 😛
「ユカまっしぐら」 (Yuka Masshigura)
“Yuka’s At Full Speed”
I’ve made a big thing about the yuri vibes in this show, but this week they went completely in the other direction. So Yuka likes Takashi-kun – her cousin, as it turns out – enough to cutely panic when he appears. The only problem? He likes Saki.
「スティル・ファイティング/secret operation」 (Sutiru Faitingu)
“Still Fighting”
On every scene change this week I kept thinking “It can’t be over yet, can it?” I wanted this ep to keep going and going but it felt as if it flew by, and that’s a sure sign that everything is clicking. With a setup this interesting, a MC this good and a beloved franchise that’s still being held mostly in reserve, the potential for Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean seems almost unlimited.
「いや、帰れご主人様」 (Iya, Kaere Goshujinsama)
“No, Go Home, Master”
I-I’m not doing this for you!! But if you’re kind, and eat my cooking, and stick with it, confess your love, and perhaps make me a little jealous, maybe I’ll show you my dere side…
「いつか王子様が」
“Someday My Prince Will Come”
Why does everyone make this anime thing out to be so hard? Just do it like that.
Written by Suzuki Saeko in collaboration with music production duo TOMISIRO, the Rinne no Lagrange OST is easily one of my favourites from the Winter line-up. Neither of the two artists have worked on much that I’m familiar with – most of their work seems to be confined to the Keroro Gunsou franchise which – in my opinion – makes the quality of the LagRin OST even more impressive to behold. While not as diverse in genre as some anime soundtracks, there’s still an impressive range of styles, though on the whole, the soundtrack comes across mostly as electronic interspaced with more comedic instrumental tracks. |

「どっちやねん!!/願いがあるなら」 (Docchi Yanen!! / Negai ga aru nara)
“Make your choice!! / If you’re going to make a wish…”
Picking up from where we left off last week, it’s time for an epic battle between Zenkichi and Akune! Who will win? Only the psychic octopus knows the answer to that one! Well, him and those of us who have watched the episode…
