「Episode 10」
For the episode before for the finale, I wasn't expecting much focus on the remaining host club members yet they managed to slip in a bit of Honey and Mori's backstory and hint at Kyouya's as well.

「花咲くいろは」 (Hanasaku Iroha)
"To Bloom One Day"
I'll just say it now -- it wasn't the type of tear-jerking scene that I had expected but I was shedding some tears by the end of the episode.

「日常２６」 (Nichijou 26)
"My Ordinary Life 26"
It takes something special to give a series a good ending episode -- especially for series longer than one-cour and this last episode of Nichijou didn't just push the envelope. It stared at that envelope, ripped it in half, ate the pieces, and then lit itself on fire in order to make sure that there was no trace of an envelope.

「魔神の落胤」 (Satan no Ko)
"Satan's Children"
It’s pretty easy to see what cards everyone is holding as we get set for next week’s anime-only finale of Ao no Exorcist, but there’s still a wild card – or perhaps it’s a joker - that’s yet to be played. And I suspect that as he goes, so goes the battle.

「君と僕と彼女のこと」 (Kimi to Boku to Kanojo no Koto)
"You, Me, and For Her Sake"
I don't know what the point of luring out your enemies is if you don't fully intend to have fun with it. When Hakamizaka was threatening to "fly away" if Narumi wasn't fast enough to catch him, I didn't expect him to be flying away on drugs.

「ほのかに白い終業式」 (Honoka ni Shroi Shuugyoushiki)
"Pale White Graduation"
For its final episode, Itsuka Tenma went out on a really high note. Not only was there the perfect balance between fanservice and character building, but if the story had been at this point about six episodes ago, it felt like the perfect jumping off point before a big, badass arc.

「バカと道化と鎮魂歌（レクイエム）っ!」 (Baka to Douke to Chinkonka (Rekuiemu))
"Idiots, a Fool, and Requiem"
It only took 11 episodes for it to finally come, but the ESB's are finally back… sort of. If you remember how popular episode 4 was when the chibi version of everyone's summons were flying around making a mess by revealing everyone's secrets, this one hit the opposite end of the spectrum. Instead of cute, we get a combination of sexy and quite literally flat.

「ラジエルの書架」 (Rajieru no Shoka)
"Raisel's Library"
Dantalian no Shoka continues to nibble around the edges of the truth, giving us tantalizing glimpses of the deeper reality behind the episodic stories we’ve been given so far and the characters that drive them.

「たれをかも」 (Tare wo Kamo)
"Who Might You Be"
I really don't like all the negativity I exude when I talk about Blood-C, but sometimes it feels like CLAMP is purposely messing with me. I mean come on, the TWINS are getting sick and tired of this crap? That sure came off as CLAMP's way of saying, bend over, take whatever we're going to give you, and enjoy it. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a memo with "orz <-" on it to summarize the feeling viewers should get after watching this episode.
