Knockin' on heaven's door
Not the new slimmed-down Matsushita, not Guild leader Char, but a mysterious teenager played by Ishida Akira proved to be at the bottom of it all. Even so, he's nothing more than a creation of the Angel Player software developed by someone who converted himself to a mindless NPC.

"All Complicated and Confusing"
After taking several gunshots last time, it turns out Shizuo's mind over matter bursts of superhuman strength really knows no bounds. To him, he just thought he slipped and fell down in the rain.

"A Dirty Stray Cat"
The revelation came an episode sooner than I was expecting, but it looks like my hunch about Yaichi being Seinoshin ever since episode three proved to be true. I just love it when it paying attention to the subtleties in a series makes it so much more enjoyable to watch.

Sports festivals are the theme this week, with Seika Academy following suit of Umenomori Academy with their own take on it. I don't see how placing all the girls on one team is supposed to balance things out between the gender disparity, but it doesn't seem to hamper Misaki one bit.

"The World Revolves Around Us. Goodbye... B-Type H-Style"
It shouldn't come as any surprise that Kosuda and Yamada never get down to business even in the last episode and destroy the very foundation that this series is based on, but they sure get close and it's been one hell of a ride all season.

"Stray Cat, Exposed"
Put the director of SEKIREI and Asura Cryin' with the key animator from various of episodes of those two series, Toradora, STRIKE WITCHES, and CODE GEASS and we have Fumino unleashing the power of Lelouch Lamperouge on the masses!

Showdown
Wow, the last thing I was expecting Sakuragi to do in the face of a drugged up Ishihara out to kill him is show him some compassion.

"Dark Investigation"
It was the first time in the series that I actually heard someone say that someone else's actions directly influenced the course of history in a significant way, but that clearly wasn't Aoi's intention when he went after Shizune and prevented Puyi from meeting with her.
