(Morishima Haruka-hen Dai Nishou - Sekkin)
"Morishima Haruka Chapter 2 - Getting Closer"

Jesus Christ, Haruka is the biggest flirt ever. I'm inclined to believe that she's aware what a huge tease she is now, but that flirtatious Itou Shizuka voice is like a damn Achilles' heel of mine so I'm at her mercy too.

Divine posted about the opening and ending songs so I wont talk too much about them here. The OP sequence was great all around, with a aesthetically pleasing pop rock song and featuring a nice video as well.

(Usotsuki Ookami-san to Ryoushi-kun)
"The Lying Wolf and Ryoushi"

Well if anyone thought Ryoushi was a wimpy male lead last time, this week shows the manlier side of him that only comes out when Ryouko's in danger. With his pet dogs Elizabeth and Francois, we learn first-hand exactly how he's modeled after the Hunter.

Revenge

Details behind Baremoto's plan aside, the boys' revenge on Sasaki did turn out more or less like I was expecting. The same goes for Ishihara, whom Mario deemed too worthless to kill after learning how Sakuragi gave him Hagino's note to try and end things once and for all.

Another series I wasn't planning to post about is the adaptation of the long-running shounen manga, "Nurarihyon's Grandson". However, after watching the premiere episode the other day, the cute ending sequence made me want to get some sort of post out about it.

(Kaki Koushuu!)
"Summer Course!"

We're past the halfway point of this sequel's run, which means we have new opening and ending themes! I don't know what the deal is with getting Toyosaki Aki to sing high pitched songs this season, but "Utauyo!! MIRACLE" has a very similar sound to the first opening, "GO! GO! MANIAC".

(Maya no Yogen)
"MAYA's Prophesy"

Anime no Chikara's third project aired today and proved to be the awesome supernatural comedy it was made out to be. Best of all, it's already been picked up as a simulcast on Crunchyroll, meaning that subs will be readily available unlike Senkou no Night Raid.
