This episode starts on a nice domestic note, with Nelluru brewing coffee for Klen and Alicia. Sometimes, it kind of blows my mind that there are many people who don’t start their day with coffee– how could you live? Of course, coffee is an expensive trade good in Clevatess world, so Nelluru grabbed some when…

Man, this episode. What the actual–? I was not expecting anything like this. I’m pretty sure we’ve gone beyond the realm of the first three RAAVM translated novels that I read, because I would have remembered this nonsense. Well, let’s get started. Still at Origin Stratum, Hulemy has programmed the transport circle so monsters can’t…

We return to the dramatic notebook drop. Rintarou’s friends make the connection between Kaoruko’s name and the girl at the library, and Rintarou’s brain seems to pull a blue screen of death. Saku is particularly hostile, implying that Rintarou has been lying to them about her all this time. Eventually Rintarou squeezes out an “I…

Did someone come over to CloverWorks and bring a dump truck full of money? Because this episode is really well animated, and to be honest, the material doesn’t even call for it; it’s just extra. I’m not complaining, but I do wonder why this show seems to be getting special treatment among the three CloverWorks…

We start with a flashback to Sakuta’s middle school days. It’s just after Kaede’s bout with Puberty Syndrome started, and his teacher wouldn’t believe Sakuta that the phenomenon was real. A girl asked Ikumi to deal with the situation, and we learn that Ikumi was likely the class rep during Sakuta’s final year in middle…

Two days after seeing the final episode, I’m unsure what to make of Takopi’s Original Sin. This is unusual for me, because as you may have noticed, I tend to be rather opinionated where anime is concerned. First, the nuts and bolts. The animation, voice acting, and production in general were all fantastic. I have…

Wow, this episode was really fun. It’s been non-stop action since the season premiered, and we finally get a chance to see our heroes relax and have a little R&R. Of course, since it’s Dan Da Dan there’s still plenty going on, but I felt healed on a spiritual level seeing the gang all get…

Wow, this episode. I enjoyed it, but it features a pretty huge infodump, so please bear with me. Still in the Raven’s camp, Klen puts Alicia’s Stream Splitter Regalia into his Shadow Pocket, saying it draws too much attention; Alicia is crushed to have her precious binky taken away. Nelluru comes out with Luna and…
