「プール・オン・ザ・ヒル」 (Puuru・On・Za・Hiru)
"Pool On the Hill"
As much as I wish it didn't happen, I can't believe that I was right about something! With my predictions usually miles from the mark, it feels pretty amazing being right not only once, but twice!

「日常１７」 (Nichijou 17)
"My Ordinary Life 17"
Even when he's voicing something as simple as a crow, Ono Daisuke's charm never fails to spill out of his character. By charm, I'm referring to this condescending feeling you get when someone tries way too hard to be polite and ends up getting on your nerves.

「僕とあの娘とぬいぐるみっ！」 (Boku to Ano Musume to Nuigurumi!)
"Me, That Girl, and a Stuffed Animal!"
While I feel a little let down with all the strange topics these first few episodes have covered, I have to admit that they've been pretty interesting.

「水明り Eau et lumières」 (Mizu Akari)
"Water and Lights"
I didn't like cheese when I was younger, but dipping it in soy sauce like sushi wouldn't have made it any more appetizing to me. I don't know how Yune was able to stomach it.

「やさしい事」 (Yasashii Koto)
"Act of Kindness"
Last week wasn't just another school adventure of the week, as it turns out - it was actually setting up the chain of events that would seismically shift the ground underneath Ao no Exorcist for good. And can anyone be surprised that it was Mephistopheles that was behind it?

「Episode 1」
The live-action Ouran Hight School Host Club drama is here and boy is it a doozie. I thought an eccentric Suou Tamaki voiced by Miyano Mamoru was a bit much, but Yamamoto Yuusuke takes it to another level. Don't even get me started about the twins, Hitachiin Kaoru and Hikaru, played by real-life twin actors Takagi Manpei and Shinpei respectively, who take their forbidden love act to uncomfortable extremes. That's the number one thing that I wasn't looking forward to at all. 3D can be pretty dangerous.

「学園祭のオニ」 (Gakuensai no Oni)
"Demon of the School Festival"
We had a school-life episode like the preview last time suggested, along with some minor Ashi involvement to stir up the school festival preparations. The best part of it all was Alma calling Ruri to the rooftop, leaving the latter with some hopeful expectations.

「昴に願いを」 (Subaru ni Negai wo)
"A Wish for Subaru"
Oh Maho, your innocence is endearing. You go and give your precious thing to Subaru. I would've loved to see his reaction if you did.

「すべては一歩の勇気から」 (Subete wa Ippo no Yuuki kara)
"Everything Starts with a Courageous Step"
This may have been a Yukiho-centered episode, but I made sure to get a reasonable amount of Miki shots in as well. You didn't really think I'd let a shutter chance slip by did you?

「もちろん、ベッドの上で」 (Mochiron, Beddo no Ue de)
"In Bed Of Course"
I'm still not feeling the drama behind the Subaru's sense of duty to server as Kanade's butler, nor the "stand by me" encouragement by Kinjirou's late father Jirou (Miyashita Eiji), yet I don't seem to mind one bit while watching this series. Talk about some clear oversight of screenplay in favor of personal entertainment from the romantic comedy-like antics. I wasn't kidding when I said I'd watch this show just for Subaru.
