「むらさきのゆきしめのゆき」 (Murasakino Yuki Shimeno Yuki)
"Set These Forbidden Fields Aglow"
Breaking news – Chihaya actually has a Dad. And with that revelation comes the news – not so coincidentally – that someone in her family actually knows she exists.

「サービス終了」 (Sābisu Shūryō)
"Service Termination"
This episode of Mirai Nikki was a bit of a roller-coaster, quality-wise, but it was so exhilaratingly paced that I can overlook some of the deficiencies in deference to the sheer entertainment value.

「ミンスリーの再会」 (Minsurii no Saikai)
"Reunion at Minsry"
If Emily is still in the running to be Flit's future wife, the prospect doesn't look good with this "calm before the storm" episode where Flit spends two weeks frolicking around in the woods with Yurin.

「First adjournment」
Boring recap episode is boring…

「デイジー死す」 (Deijī Shisu) "Daisy Dies"
There was a lot of Inami action this week. More importantly, there was also a lot of Aoi action this week.

「女子は浴衣姿がな、超可愛い(゜∀゜)」 (Jyoshi wa Yukatasugata gana, Chou Kawaii (゜∀゜))
"You See, Girls wearing Yukata are Really Cute"
After luring us with the promise that Taka and Sora might one day be reunited with each other, this week's episode of Haganai finally delivers.

「三日月シルエット」 (Mikazuki Siruetto)
"Crescent Moon Silhouette"
I'm still a little confused over what I just watched.

「交差点」 (Kousaten)
"Crossing"
I'm probably starting to sound like a broken record, but for the third week straight, this third and final installment of Shakugan no Shana delivered an excellent episode.

「聖杯の招き」 (Seihai no Maneki)
"The Holy Grail's Invitation"
This week's episode may not have exuded the same "epicness" as the last one, but the dialogue between Kirei and Archer was just as good as the three kings' debate. It was a lot less ambiguous with the foreshadowing, not only with the Holy Grail's invitation but with Archer's not-so-subtle proposition as well.

「Catch Me If You Can」
When life gives you lemons, make lemonade. When bears turn into boys, eat popsicles? This week’s episode was all about surprises and persevering through them, and even though I already knew most of the forthcoming revelations, this adaptation added enough of its own touches to keep things interesting.
