「叡智の書／月下美人」 (Eichi no Sho / Gekkabijin)
"Book of Wisdom/Queen of the Night"
I'm certainly not the first person to point this out, but one of the refreshing things about Dantalian no Shoka is that pretty much everyone in it is smart. It certainly spares us a lot of cliched moments of people doing stupid things and asking stupid questions.

「舞い落ちる姫君」 (Maiochiru Himegimi)
"Descending Princess"
Ikuhara must not like me or something. Just when I got into the "Survival Strategy" swing of things and was looking forward to another "Himari" appearance, he decides not to have one in the very next episode.

「なげけとて」 (Negeke tote)
"Even If I Lament"
Well, four episodes later, we finally got the craaazy development we've been waiting for -- is it a dog... or a cat!?

「生と死と」 (Sei to Shi to)
"Life and Death"
So here's the dilemma I'm facing after the 4th episode of this series. I find myself laughing, repeatedly and uproariously, and not being sure whether I'm supposed to be laughing at all.

「僕が二人にできること」 (Boku ga Futari ni Dekiru Koto)
"What I Can Do For Those Two"
I feel like there’s a huge breach of privacy going on here with Alice’s incredible hoard of information, largely gathered by tapping phone calls, hacking databases and secretly tracking people.

「ヘルマ」 (Heruma)
"Helma"
As unusual as it may sound, there's a lot happening every episode, but I still haven't gotten into the story about a small village and its mysterious god-like dolls. I'm not the least bit disappointed about Aki escaping again, Kuuko butting her head into things, and Koushirou/Kirio showing up, but I've never really felt compelled to say anything about what's going on either.

「虚像歪曲のコンプレックス」 (Kyozō waikyoku no konpurekkusu)
"Complex Virtual Image Distortion"
I won't pretend I know what's going to happen next and I don't mind that, as even the relatively unspectacular eps like this one are still entertaining and emotionally involving.

「夏の大収穫祭」 (Natsu no Daishuukakusai)
"The Big Summer Harvest Festival"
I know I was asking for more Chitose last time, but boy does she give me a lot of work with her lesbian delusions. Thanks to her, a third of the images in this post are of the full-length variety.

「幼き日々に」 (Osanaki Hibi ni)
"During Childhood"
Ramen! Ramen! Ramen!
