Another two months and two BD/DVD volume releases later, we have the final episode of the Darker than BLACK Gaiden prequel to the events in Ryuusei no Gemini. The best part of this finale is that it actually made sense of the ending we saw seven months ago, which many will recall came somewhat out of the blue.

At first glance, the title of Kobayashi Motofumi's manga will probably make one think it's about cats doing their business, while mention of bunnies may suggest it's one of those cute and cuddling type of shows, but what we actually have here is a war-based series where looking cute doesn't save you from getting shot in the head.

(Chichi to Shiro Pantsu to Shousei)
"Breasts, White Panties, and I"
Anyone who needs a funny comedy this season and hasn't checked out Mitsudomoe yet should do just that, as it continues to deliver good laughs week after week.

! (Marinfdo Chokuzen Kaisou Supesharu - Shketsu! San Taish)
"A Special Retrospective Before Marineford! The Three Navy Admirals Come Together!"
A two part special! With the pending execution of Ace, the story finally makes way into the new arc!

(Usui, Teki ni Mawaru)
"Usui, Turns Into The Enemy"
There's been an amazing dearth of volleyball anime since Urano Chikako's Attack No. 1 from 1968, which always strikes me odd since the sport's pretty big in Japan.

(Morishima Haruka-hen Saishuushou Renai)
"Morishima Haruka Final Chapter Love"
In this final chapter of Haruka's arc before the reset, they somehow managed to cram in both a pool scene and a hotel one before time-lapsing ten years into the future.

(Ookami-san to Otsuu-senpai no Ongaeshi)
"The Wolf and Otsuu's Repayment"
Ryouko's a maid! If this were Kaichou wa Maid-sama, the title would've easily been, "A Maid Even as a Wolf." Incidentally, this was only a side effect of the actual story involving Otsuu and her obsession with repaying debts, which even had the guys in French maid outfits before it was all said and done.

(Issho ni Dekiru Koto)
"What We Can Do Together"
Technology is great. Not only do Striker Units help rookie witches control their magical power while flying, they don't ride up the crotch area like a broomstick either.

This episode had me laughing out loud quite a few times. Rikuo sure doesn't get a break in these episodes from the haunted building two weeks ago to his own home this time. The introduction of the (what I assume to be) final main character, Keikain Yura, was nothing short of a heap of trouble for Rikuo.
