"Dophin's... Lover's Contract (Dolphin Ring Striker~)"

In the eternal words of Xumbra, "hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng"

"One-Winged Fallen Angel"

This is not why you first started watching this show, but if it's done right, it's why you'll remember it. So far, it is.

"Pandora's Lunchbox...of the Holy Mother"

Since I first saw the promos for this show, I thought it had a lot of potential. Potential to be cute, potential to be funny, and to have that certain kind of ridiculous levity that I enjoy so much. What it lacked - and has continued to lack for most of its run - is drama in any meaningful amount. Until now.

"Turmoil...of the Chaos Heart"

Rikka's chuunibyou keeps getting in the way of her love...until suddenly it doesn't

"The Couple's...Exile"

Flirting, indirect kisses, playful teasing, a little innocent sniffing...and suddenly feelings are awakening after the storm that has passed by. Oh gods, I don't know if I can take so much HNNNNN-- *falls over with a massive nosebleed*

"Paradise Lost...of Memories"

For a show that has gotten by so far on cute moments and pitch-perfect comedy, there were a lot of deep, mournful scenes this week. Fortunately, the groundwork they laid down made these moments quite effective.

"The Atonement...of the Innocent"

A man's hair is serious business.
