(Senjou no Kuranku Appu)
"The Crank Up On Board"
While anime looks pretty great in 720p, it's even better in 1080p. It's particularly noticeable when I watch a series on my 40 or 52 inch LCD TVs where all the pixel sizes are much larger, as is the case with this special prologue episode of Senkou no Night Raid. Mmm, Yukina in 1080p...

It's been a while since a blogging schedule has been created, but I wanted to give an overview of what the tentative plans are for the summer season starting tomorrow. I want to stress that this is tentative schedule and may change after the first week once I've had a chance to watch the first episode of every new series I expressed interest in in the Summer 2010 Preview.
... More after the jump.

! (Marinfdo Chokuzen Kaisou Supesharu - Kydai no Chikai!)"A Special Retrospective Before Marineford! The Vow of the Brotherhood!"
For an episode that's about 80% recap... yeah, no it still wasn't interesting.

Recollect
Nothing major was added in this recap episode told from Mario's perspective, but it did go over everything that's happened up until now. Time-wise, it slots in just after he received the bullet from Setsuko and before embarking to Numazu, Shizuoka to find and kill Ishihara.

(Zansho Mimai!)
"Late-Summer Greeting Card!"
I never thought I'd describe an episode about our favorite light music band as "trippy", but that's exactly what this one revolving around Azusa felt like as she kept zoning in and out of daydreams.

Mayoi Neko Overrun! – 13 (Recap)

(Mayoi Neko, Matomatta)
"Stray Cat, Compiled"
Even with no new scenes added, this was one of the best and most entertaining recap episodes I've ever watched.
Senkou no Night Raid – 13 (END)

(Semete, Kibou no Kakeru wo)
"At The Very Least, A Fragment of Hope"
Picking up from Aoi's first encounter with Kazura since his betrayal, I honestly had no idea how things would wrap up and was looking forward to being surprised every step of the way. Well, Anime no Chikara sure delivered in this finale by throwing out twist after twist after twist.
Uragiri wa Boku no Namae wo Shitteiru – 12

("Futari" to Iu Koto)
"What It Means To Be a 'Pair'"
Finally some Opast level action! After the slow change of pace with Yuki getting settled into his new life with the Giou clan, I was looking forward to seeing exactly what a high level battle in this series entails.
