「Bone work -骨組-」 (Honegumi)

Those of you who’ve been waiting for the other shoe to drop better carry an umbrella when watching this episode. But by all means, don’t run with it…

Aquarion EVOL First Impressions

Aquarion EVOL – 04

By Divine January 23, 2012

「壁～conquer oneself～」 (Kabe)
"Wall ~conquer oneself~"

I'm still slowly working my way through Sousei no Aquarion, but even I could appreciate what an awesome throwback to the original this week's episode of Aquarion EVOL was. Not only do we see the return of the magician-like high commander in Fudou Zen (Fujiwara Keiji), but we see it in style with the infamous "Infinity Punch" that circles the globe several times over before tearing down the Berlin Wall. "And then he proclaimed, 'Let there be illicit sexual relationships!'" (Fujun Isei Kouyuu!)

First Impressions Shakugan no Shana

Shakugan no Shana III (Final) – 15

「雨中の敗走」 (Ochuu no Haisou)
"Rout in the Rain"

After watching Yuuji's rise to power and the subsequent mental breakdown of roughly ninety percent of the Flame Haze throughout the world, I was afraid that this episode would be a big pity party for the Flame Haze. Thankfully, with people like Centerhill and Margery finally stepping up (or showing up) this episode did not disappoint.

First Impressions Rinne no Lagrange

Rinne no Lagrange – 03

By Divine January 23, 2012

「鴨川にランの花咲く」 (Kamogawa ni Ran no Hanasaku)
"Lan Blossoms in Kamogawa"

Three episodes later, the "premiere" of Rinne no Lagrange is finally over and we see a little bit of a recess in the story so that it can set things up for the next chapter.
