Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu Ni! – 12

「バカと道化と鎮魂歌（レクイエム）っ!」 (Baka to Douke to Chinkonka (Rekuiemu))
"Idiots, a Fool, and Requiem"

It only took 11 episodes for it to finally come, but the ESB's are finally back… sort of. If you remember how popular episode 4 was when the chibi version of everyone's summons were flying around making a mess by revealing everyone's secrets, this one hit the opposite end of the spectrum. Instead of cute, we get a combination of sexy and quite literally flat.

BLOOD-C – 11

「たれをかも」 (Tare wo Kamo)
"Who Might You Be"

I really don't like all the negativity I exude when I talk about Blood-C, but sometimes it feels like CLAMP is purposely messing with me. I mean come on, the TWINS are getting sick and tired of this crap? That sure came off as CLAMP's way of saying, bend over, take whatever we're going to give you, and enjoy it. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a memo with "orz <-" on it to summarize the feeling viewers should get after watching this episode.

Mayo Chiki! – 12

「迷える執事とチキンな俺と」 (Mayoeru Shitsuji to Chikin na Boku to)
"The Butler who got Lost and I, the Chicken"

Instead of leaving things open ended to make us viewers claw at the chance of a second season possibly coming over the horizon, the kiss between Subaru and Jirou probably sealed the deal. However, the events leading up to that fateful kiss was classic Mayo Chiki madness.
