Ano Natsu de Matteru – 12 (END)

「あの夏で待ってる。」 (Ano Natsu de Matteru.)
“Waiting in the Summer.”

Multiple times during this final episode, I thought I had figured out how everything would end. Every time, I was wrong. But I’m okay with this, because the end result was perfect for what this show has always been – a beautiful love story. Final impressions inside.

Rinne no Lagrange – 12 (END)

「またいつの日か、鴨川で」 (Mata Itsu no Hi ka, Kamogawa de)
“Until We Meet Again, In Kamogawa”

A haunting episode full of partings. I’m finding myself unable to quite put into words my feelings about this final offering, which isn’t an ideal situation for a writer to be in. Still, I’ll give it a shot. The final episode of Rinne no Lagrange season one, and some thoughts about the series over all. Let’s do this thing.

Zero no Tsukaima F – 12 (END)

「ゼロの使い魔」 (Zero no Tsukaima)
“The Familiar Of Zero”

After 50 episodes spread out over 4 seasons, the Zero no Tsukaima anime series has come to a close. There was a bit of a bang, and a bit of a whimper, but the most important thing got a resolution in the end. And no, it wasn’t that whole silly Ancient Dragon thing. Gotta resolve that harem!

High School DxD – 12 (END)

「約束、守りに来ました!」 (Yakusoku, Mamori ni Kimashita!)
“I’m Here to Keep My Promise!”

This episode contained an epic confrontation against an apparently immortal foe, and included plenty of sacrifice, surprising reveals, a meddling onii-sama, and romance to boot. Oh, and there was only one panty flash the whole time. Yes, we’re still talking about High School DxD here! Read on for final impressions.
