| 9:05am | Kimi ni Todoke - 04 | | | | I’m not exactly happy with this episode. It was all angst, angst and more angst based on a misunderstanding, and I feel like the creators were really forcing it in order to get as much drama as possible. Wasn’t this supposed to be a very simple romance? When I think of simple romances,... |
| 10:00pm | Konnichiwa Anne - 30 | | | | Every week I keep hoping for Anne NOT to go to school, and this episode listened to my prayers: it was an entire episode, dedicated to the Hammond family, and holy crap! Spoiler alert! Hammond was bound to die, we all knew that. However, I didn’t think that the creators were going to be this... |
| 9:31pm | Full Metal Alchemist - Brotherhood - 29 | | | | Well, so this episode was an aftermath to the previous onslaught of plot-twists. Surprisingly, Wrath lets both Ed, Al and Roy Mustang go, threatening them with killing their loved ones if they dare to take action back. On one hand, it seems a bit stupid to let these dangerous people loose. But yeah,... |
| 11:23am | Aoi Bungaku - 03 | | | | Oh my god, No Longer Human just keeps getting better and better. This isn’t just a great adaptation, but also an adaptation that makes optimal use of the fact that it’s adapted in a media that also uses music and graphics. From the perspective of someone who hasn’t read the novel,... |
| 10:38am | Cross Game - 30 | | | | This could very well be the best recap episode ever. So basically, before the second half of this series starts, Aoba looks at Wakaba’s portrait and the episode then commences to recap pretty much the first episode. And oh my god, the nostalgia! Because we now have gotten to know the characters,... |
| 10:04am | Kemono no Souja Erin - 41 | | | | Yeah, this episode was meant as one big build-up for the thing that happened in its final 30 seconds. You definitely don’t want to read this entry if you have yet to see this episode. The creators kept hinting, though I failed to notice that entirely. Erin basically gets summoned to the queen... |
| 9:32pm | Letter Bee - 04 | | | | Like expected, this episode was somewhat hampered by the stereotypical and badly acted evil circus directors. What I didn’t expect was that this episode would make up for it with the “Forest of Broccoli”. How awesome is that? In all seriousness though, I didn’t expect much... |
| 2:46pm | White Album - 17 | | | | It’s amazing: Touya only had five scenes in this episode in which he appeared. In three of them, he did nothing, so he only had about one minute of serious airtime. And yet he still manages to come across as an inconsiderate asshole in that time. But let’s look at the other characters... |
| 6:04pm | Armed Librarians - The Book of Bantorra - 04 | | | | Every single episode, this series continues to remind me why I consider it among the top of this season along Darker than Black and Aoi Bungaku. Unlike those two however, it looks like Armed Librarians is going to cover up 26 episodes. And it’s already this good. The question of course is going... |
| 11:34am | Kuchuu Buranko - 02 | | | | Well, so I don’t think it’s much of a surprise that this is going to be the final series I’m going to blog this season, making my blogging schedule: Monday: Konnichiwa Anne Tuesday: none Wednesday: Kimi ni Todoke Thursday: Umineko no Naku Koro ni Friday: Darker than Black, Kuchuu... |
| 9:09am | Darker than Black - Ryusei no Gemini - 03 | | | | Holy crap, this episode was better than I could have expected. Bones really is on fire in 2009. Seriously, this was probably one of the best orchestrated action-scenes of the entire series so far. While that might just be my memory playing tricks on me, but I really like how the new series has gone... |
| 8:41pm | Umineko no Naku Koro ni - 17 | | | | It’s perhaps taken a long while for this series to really get fired off. Especially how the first two arcs were merely introduction and build-up with hardly any conclusion, wrap-up or answers, But seriously, for me this is a show that just gets more intriguing with every episode. This episode... |
| 3:00pm | Kimi ni Todoke - 03 | | | | You know, I’m starting to get into this series. Or rather, I’m starting to care about the relationship between Sawako and Kazehaya, and Sawako’s quest in trying to connect with the class. I’m starting to see her desire to be liked, clashing with her desire not to be hated.... |
| 1:47pm | Kemono no Souja Erin - 40 | | | | So in the end I’m not going to blog Winter Sonata, for the following reasons: - The release schedule that’s even more uncertain than Aoi Bungaku. Besides, I don’t know a word of Korean. - The producer: only three episodes are finished at the moment because the lead actor was changed... |
