「とげ の道 」 (Toge no Michi)
"Road of Thorns"
I knew "Road of Thorns" was going to pack quite the emotional punch, but the anime adaptation certainly didn't disappoint.

「雨の中の少女達」 (Ame no Naka no Shoujo-tachi)
"Girls in the Rain"
A more focused episode makes for a better episode as Ayumu comes into the fold...and the whole anti-esper sentiment finally hits emotionally.

「コレッテモシカシテ」 (Korette Moshikashite)
"Is This By Any Chance"
I look forward to seeing some proper closure to this romance, something sorely lacking in the romantic comedy genre.

「It's cliché, but so what?」

「円環」 (Enkan)
"Circular"
That was an interesting mix of the expected and the unexpected.

 |  |  |
「DEUCE」
If we ever look back and try to look for a point where the views on this show diverged, I'd say this would be it.

「雪」 (Yuki)
"Snow"
After last week's train wreck, I thought this week's episode did a little better. While I'm still a little confused about what direction the show is trying to go in, P.A. Works did a great job at illustrating a world that's literally falling apart at the seams.

「再戦」 (Saisen)
"Rematch"
It looks like I jumped the gun a bit in my predictions last week, because while some of them turned out to be true, one of them I clearly read too much into.

「するがデビル 其ノ壹 - 伍」 (Suruga Debiru Sono Ichi - Go)
"Suruga Devil Parts One - Five"
Kanbaru Suruga, starring in her very own sports anime, learns about playing solo in more ways than one.
*Nothing really explicit here, but this post features copious amounts of Kanbaru. Your designated workplace may not necessarily approve of her wardrobe. Or lack thereof.*

「激突！クッキン・シスターズ」 (Gekitotsu Kukkin Shisutaazu)
"Clash! Cooking Sisters!"
I could watch an entire series of just Illya, her friends, her family, and the hinjiks they get into.
