Sacred Seven – 05

「心のカガミ」 (Kokoro no Kagami)
"Mirror of the Heart"

When there's a big f--king gun that's only good for one shot, it's an absolute tease if it's never fired. The rational side of me understands Makoto's hesitation to use it when Ruri's right next to him, but come on... shoot the Corundum Laser Cannon. With a name like that and an expensive ruby burned in the process, it's just begging to have its trigger pulled.

Ro-Kyu-Bu! – 05

「ハードに火をつけて」 (Haado ni Hi wo Tsukete)
"Light a Fire Hard"

I don't think there was any doubt that Takenaka Natsuhi would become more central to the story than as a stepping stone for Tomoka and the others to elevate their game. After all, he provides an outsider's take on the girls and is quick to call Subaru a lolicon too.

Mayo Chiki! – 04

「あんまりジロジロみるな・・・」 (Amari Jirojiro Miru na...)
"Stop Staring So Much..."

I can't shake the feeling that Mayo Chiki has skipped quite a few episodes of development to help explain the closeness in Jirou and Subaru's relationship, but I am starting to wonder if it's because I've been unconsciously brainwashed into believing that anime characters take an entire season before there are any noticeable changes in them.

Itsuka Tenma no Kuro Usagi – 04

「いまだ天魔は歌われない」 (Imada Tenma ha Utawarenai)
"The Tenma Has Yet to Sing"

I wouldn't say that this show is bad, but it's probably not everyone's cup of tea. Sure there may be a ton of questions that are being brought up, but there's the hope that everything will be answered in the end, right? Either way, the events in this episode raised so many different questions that I felt inclined to start drafting a flow chart.
