(Mazeran o Tomero! Iwa-san gi Sakuretsu)"Stop Magellan! Ivan-san Unleashes His Secret Attack"
The clock's ticking with only four hours left until Ace's execution.

(Warupurugisu no Yoru)
"Walpurgis Night"
As this was primarily a setup episode for Yuki's transition into the world of the Giou clan and their battle with the Duras, one of my personal highlights was the Tooko scene with Inoue Marina bringing all the cuteness when Yuki addressed her distantly with honorifics.

4 BRIDGE
Kamiya Hiroshi is reunited with Saitou Chiwa in another SHAFT production since Bakemonogatari, but he's not getting any loving this time as the little orphan girl from Great Britain absolutely destroys Riku in a one-on-one "play fight" and makes him her new underling.

The match between East Tokyo United and Tokyo Victory is on and it's a good one as we get a taste of Tatsumi's giant killing abilities.

(Souma, Sawayaka Sugiru Shounen)
"Souma, An Overly Refreshing Guy"
As much as this episode was about Hiroomi and how he's a sly blackmailing machine underneath his cheery facade, some light was shed on the likely cause of Souta's mini complex -- his four sisters.

Continuing off from the good cliffhanger last time, we learn that one of the two characters is indeed Envy masquerading in disguise.

(Dokubou wa Tanoshii?)
"Is Isolation Fun?"
Liladan or not, I really don't know what to say about one girl offering to let another naked girl use her mouth as a personal urinal other than, "Hoooly shit."

Day Game
With Yui as the supposed new lead vocalist for Girls Dead Monster and a revamped opening sequence to showcase her abilities, it was pretty amusing to see her strangle herself to death following the performance.

(Gusha Ittoku)
"Even a Fool Has Merits"
One of the unique aspects of Durarara's screenplay is how it tends to go back and revisit parts of the story from a different perspective.

AOI (Netto Aidoru Aoi-chan)
"Internet Idol Aoi-chan"
Leave it up to Takumi to make the girls melt with his cooking skills. This includes breaking an egg in style over an omelette rice to finish the dish off. I swear those girls wet themselves at the sight of him doing that and I'm not referring to just the saliva in their mouths.
