「血は水よりも濃し」 (Chi wa Mizu Yori mo Koshi)

You know it's a good episode when you don't realize time is flying by and before you know it, the credits roll.

「灰の舞う空へ」 (Hai no Mau Sora e) "Sky Dancing with Ash"

This episode is a game changer - gorgeous, brutal, and tense. If you thought things were going too slow, you're in for a whopper.

「達成」 (Tassei)

For the most part, this week’s episode was more about triumph than error. It was an endearing look at 11-year-olds in a “relationship” – cute and sweet.
