Naruto 582 – Nothing Here
**I was hoping to get out the Jormungand Series Introduction before this, but it looks like I won’t be able to get it out until later tonight (EST). Apologies.
Mouretsu Pirates – 13, 14
 |

「茉莉香、招待する」 (Marika, Shoutai Suru) and 「茉莉香、募集する」 (Marika, Boshuu Suru)
“Marika Sends an Invitation” and “Marika Goes Recruiting”
Looks like there most likely won’t be a new opening song for the second half of the series, but there is an updated outfit for Marika and a completely new Bentenmaru crew too. Wait… what?
Hiiro no Kakera – 02
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「決意の一歩」 (Ketsui no Ippo)
“Determined Step”
You won me over, Hiiro no Kakera, hook, line and sinker!
Mirai Nikki – 25
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「リセット」 (Risetto)
“Reset”
I can already see that this episode has caused probably the widest rift yet among the viewers – both manga readers and anime-only alike.
Tasogare Otome x Amnesia – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「幽霊乙女」 (Yuurei Otome)
“Ghost Maiden”
A ghost with amnesia for president? I want to join this club!
Nazo no Kanojo X – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「謎の彼女”」 (Nazo no Kanojo)
“Mysterious Girlfriend”
If you can wipe the drool away, what’s left is a 90s-throwback anime that bypasses 26 episodes of flirting. This is Nazo no Kanojo X.
Saki: Achiga-hen episode of Side-A – 01

「邂逅」 (Kaikō)
“Chance Meeting”
Let’s get this out of the way first – you do not need to have watched the original Saki to enjoy this show, though certain details will make more sense if you have. Worry not though, because I will provide those details for you! So, if you’d like to watch some cute, lively characters playing games, this is the show for you. Think of it as a nice palate cleanser, for after those spicy action shows.
Fate/Zero – 14
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「未遠川血戦」 (Miongawa Kessen)
“The Bloody Battle in Mion River”
The long wait for the return of Fate/Zero was more than worth it.
Uchuu Kyoudai – 02
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「俺の金ピカ」 (Ore no Kinpika)
“My Shining Star”
When faced with multiple options, all with similar outcomes, do you pick the easiest or the hardest?
Kuroko no Basuke – 01
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
「黒子はボクです」 (Kuroko wa Boku Desu)
“I am Kuroko”
I’m not sure if this is the series to break the long-standing record of sports shounen failing to make a splash at RC, but quality-wise it’s off to a pretty good start. And no one is going to blame me for lack of trying…
