Dantalian no Shoka – 02

「胎児の書」 (Taiji no Sho)
"Book of the Fetus"

Huey and Dalian appear to be both smart and knowledgeable, and despite a few stereotypical nods towards the tsundere from Dalian they're refreshingly free of the "male and female lead" baggage we see in most anime. She's a demon, and he's a rather callous and hard man who's seen far too much death, apparently. I guess a world war and family tragedy can turn anyone from Kana Hanazawa into a cold-hearted badass.

Usagi Drop – 03

「ダイキチの決めたこと 」 (Daikichi no Kimetakoto) “Daikichi’s Decision”

I burst out laughing in the first minute of this episode when Daikichi smashed Rin’s head into the ceiling, probably because it was so unexpected and reminded me of when I was little and my uncle hoisted me up into the air -- I almost had my head chopped off by the ceiling fan.
