「あるはずもないあの時の希望」 (Aru Hazumonai Ano Toki no Kibou)
“A Hope That Shouldn’t Have Been There”
I bet none of you were expecting that.

「決戦、始まります!」 (Kessen, Hajimarimasu!)
“The Showdown Begins!”
This is the kind of battle I love. A good old one-on-one fight can be fun, but large-scale battles between groups bring out so many more possibilities, so much more tactical depth that it makes them really a treat to behold. The fact that this episode included strip magic and Lina Inverse-caliber nukes just made it all the better.

「小さな魔女」 (Chiisana Majo)
“Little Witch”
I had pretty well convinced myself that Area no Kishi wasn’t going to have the depth I thought it would going in, but there were signs this week that I may have given up too soon.

「ちょっとマイウェイ」 (Chotto Mai Way)
“My Way For a Little”
They should have titled this episode “Miu’s Day”

「Transposition」
The fighting at Boreas came to an end which marked the beginning of negotiations. It was less a negotiation than an argument over who was right and wrong, a young queen throwing a childish tantrum, and spontaneous outbursts. It remains to be seen what will happen next due to the events that take place in this episode and since we didn’t get a preview this time around.

「立ちはだかる幻影」 (Tachihadakaru Gen’ei)
“Haunted by Phantoms”
There’s a Hyperbolic Time Chamber in my Gundam? And it’s made by Bleach’s Kurosaki Ichigo? I hope the universe doesn’t implode on itself from shounen and shounen colliding with mecha shounen.

「防人の歌」 (Sakimori no Uta)
“A Sentinel’s Song”
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Elements Garden’s original series when I looked into it for the season preview, and now, a good three quarters through it, I’m actually still not sure what I’m in store for.

「うつりにけりないたづらに」 (Utsuri ni Kerinaita Durani)
“As My Beauty Has Faded”
Chihayafuru continues to surprise me, and this week was no exception. Life is a learning process, and it definitely looks like this adaptation is going to have a stop, rather than an ending.

「華麗なる船出」 (Kareinaru Funade)
“A Beautiful Launch”
Who needs to fight with powerful kinetic weapons, energy beams, or electronic warfare when moe works just as well?
