「入口 "Entrée"」 (Iriguchi)
"Entrance"
To most viewers, this will undoubtedly be the slowest and most uneventful new series of the season, and be quickly written off as "boring" or "dull", but for Aria fans such as myself, it's one of my most anticipated adaptations of the season, featuring a heartwarming 19th century story about a young Japanese girl named Yune (Tooyama Nao, Kanon in Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai), who travels to Paris, France to work.

「鬼事」 (Onigokko)
"Tag"
No other currently airing series does filler as well, but last week's was pretty flimsy even by those standards, and it's nice to get back to some plot-advancing development.

「イシの目覚め」 (Ishi no Mezame)
"Awakening of the Stone"
It's the battle of good versus evil using stones, and I don't mean the rocks you pick up off the ground.

「今年の夏はバスケと超能力と布団と天体観測と祭りと野球と女々たんと」 (Kotoshi no Natsu wa Basuke to Chōnōryoku to Futon to Tentai Kansoku to Matsuri to Yakyū to Meme-tan to)
"This Summer is about Basketball and Espers and Futons and Astronomical Observations and Festivals and Baseball and Meme and..."
I was expecting a more extravagant two-episode finale, which would include the festival that was supposed to come after the baseball game, but it didn't happen. Instead, what gave the appearance of "closure" that finales typically ensemble was a focus on Niwa, our romantically indecisive protagonist.

「救済（グレイトフル･デッド）」 (Kyuusai (Gureitofuru Deddo))
"Salvation (Grateful Dead)"
Nagi finally goes "sane", i.e. maximum rage, and starts ripping the guts out of peeps left and right, much to the delight of Genkaku.
