「新しい家族」 (Atarashī kazoku)
"New Family"

Fumetsu no Anata e reaches its anime halfway point with a remarkably eventful episode.

「深い記憶」 (Fukai kioku)
"Deep Memories"

It really is funny how there's an inverse relationship between how hard Fumetsu no Anata e tries to be heartbreaking, and how heartbreaking it actually is.

「怪物兄弟」 (Kaibutsu kyoudai)
"Monster Brothers"

“Kaibutsu banzai!” indeed.

「変わりたい少年」 (Kawaritai shounen)
"The Boy Who Wants to Change"

Fumetsu no Anata e has a strange and often wonderful way of looking at the world, and the less hard it tries to be ingratiating the more charming it is.

「私たちの目的」 (Watashitachi no mokuteki)
"Our Purpose"

Now that was more like it.

「共にゆく人」 (Tomoni yuku hito)
"Those Who Follow"

The contrast between permanence and impermanence is very much at the heart of this story, and that's a subject inherently laden with melancholy.

「大きな器」 (Ookina utsuwa)
"Large Vessel"

World building involves a lot of heavy lifting, and that isn’t always the most gripping or elegant part of a story to watch play out.

「小さな進化」 (Chiisana shinka)
"A Small Evolution"

I'd have taken one look at that battleship with hair and decided by arrows weren't going to do any good whatsoever.

「おとなしくない少女」 (Otonashikunai shōjo)
"The Immature Girl"

While this episode is not close to the masterpiece the premiere was, it has a different job to do and it does it well.
