29 - Random Curiosity

Gundam: Tekketsu no Orphans – 21

By Guardian Enzo February 29, 2016

「還るべき場所へ」 (Kaerubeki Kasho e)
"To The Place Of Return"

Well, this is one of those episodes where I don't suppose there's much point in talking about anything that happened before the ending.

First Impressions Hai to Gensou no Grimgar

Hai to Gensou no Grimgar – 08

By Samu February 29, 2016

「君との思い出に」 (Kimi to no Omoide ni) "In My Memories With You"

It's the human vs goblin showdown. Equal parts blood, snow, and sombre grieving.

Dimension W First Impressions

Dimension W – 08

「虚無に落ちた島」 (Kyomu ni Ochi ta Shima)
"The Island That Fell into Nothingness"

Yes, let's make our perilous retrieval mission a competition as well, because our chance of success was just too high.

Durarara!! First Impressions

Durarara!!x2 Ketsu – 08

By Cherrie February 28, 2016

「虎は死して皮を残す」 (Dora wa Shishite kawa wo Nokusu)
"A Great Man will be Remembered for His Achievements"

Let's just address the elephant in the room first.

First Impressions Luck and Logic

Luck and Logic – 08

By Jig February 28, 2016

「有罪か無罪か/」 (uuzai ka muzai ka)
"Guilt or Innocence"

The show’s most action-packed episode thus far somehow manages to be its least interesting.

First Impressions Monogatari Series

Koyomimonogatari – 08

By Passerby February 28, 2016

「こよみマウンテン」 (Koyomi Maunten)
"Koyomi Mountain"

Hurray, it's the plot! Also, uh oh, it's the plot.

First Impressions Utawarerumono

Utawarerumono: Itsuwari no Kamen – 21

By Stilts February 27, 2016

「崩御」 (Hougyo)
"Death of the Emperor"

Study history. If the emperor had done that, a lot of problems could have been avoided.

First Impressions Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu – 08

By Samu February 27, 2016

「#8」

Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is exquisite on so many levels that I often think it must be a dream - or perhaps a nightmare?

First Impressions Heavy Object

Heavy Object – 20

By Takaii February 27, 2016

「名誉に値段はつけられない, ビクトリア島緊急追撃戦 I」 (Meiyo ni Nedan wa Tsukerarenai, Bikutoriatou Kinkyuu Tsuigekisen I)
"You Can't Put a Price on Honor, The Critical Running Battle on Victoria Island I"

After last week's episode and how much it drained from me, I wasn't sure what to expect this week. Amazingly, it looks like the story is still pushing forward with just a few stumbles getting in its way.

Dagashi Kashi First Impressions

Dagashi Kashi – 07

By Stilts February 26, 2016

「夏祭りとほたると…／夏祭りとサヤと…」 (Natsu Matsuri to Hotaru to... / Natsu Matsuri to Saya to...)
"Summer Festivals and Hotaru and... / Summer Festivals and Saya and..."

Hotaru finally wins a game and Tou-kun discovers a talent, but Saya---and through her, us---is still the winner of the day.
