「幸せの手紙」 (Shiawase no Tegami)
"Letter of Happiness"

For better or worse, the anime version of the Sachi route did not exactly go off with a bang.

「絶剣」 (Zekken)
"Absolute Sword"

I think this was my favorite episode of Sword Art Online yet -- yes even more than the one when Kirito decided it was okay to finally use TWO SWORDS AT THE SAME TIME.

「決意」 (Ketsui)
"Resolve"

The questions surrounding "Perphevollen" were answered quickly this week, as the Evangelion-like Trail Kriegers do in fact function as a "hive mind".

World Trigger – 06

By Samu November 15, 2014

「雨取千佳のサイドエフェクト」(Ame to Chika no Saido Efekuto) "Amatori Chika's Side Effect"

I feel like every third episode of World Trigger is going to annoy me. The pattern is certainly emerging, but I do hope I'm proven wrong next time around.
