(Sakura no Toumeina Kaado)
"Sakura's Clear Cards"

That was such an awkward place to end things -- but considering that the source for Clear Card Hen is still on-going, I guess this wasn't the worst place to leave things for a potential sequel.

(Sakura to Kagami to Omoide no Kagi)
"Sakura, The Mirror, and The Key of Memories"

I think I get what the story's going for, but it feels like it came way too late.

(Sakura to Niji to Ojiisan)
"Sakura, Rainbows, and Grandpa"

With the end drawing closer, this week's episode gave us the tiniest taste of whatever's about to come.

(Sakura to Akiho no Komoriuta)
"Sakura and Akiho's Lullaby"

A rather slow episode all things considered.

(Sakura to Honoo to Mizu no Tori)
"Sakura and the Fire and Water Birds"

I love how right when the story starts to divulge secrets about Akiho and Kaito, we're greeted (reminded may be a better word) with even more questions about characters who've been rather quiet all this time.

(Sakura to Okashina Okashi)
"Sakura and the Crazy Sweets"

A surprisingly fun episode with the reveal that we've been waiting ages for.

(Sakura to Meirin no Otomodachi)
"Sakura and Meiling's Friend"

Not one, but two card captures this week? Amazing.

(Sakura to Omoide Kanshoukai)
"Sakura's Nostalgic Viewing Party"

I love it when the show splits up the setup and the payoff into two separate episodes.

(Sakura to Jinjya to Doubutsuen)
"Sakura, The Shrine, and The Zoo"

Boy, I really enjoyed this week's episode but for probably all the wrong reasons.

(Sakura to Tadaima Meirin)
"Sakura and Welcome Back Meiling"

Hey look at that -- a new opening and ending sequence!
