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…

This week, it’s time to prepare for that school anime staple, the cultural festival. Gojo and Marin’s class decides to do “Russian Roulette Takoyaki” and err, I have some concerns. I’ve had takoyaki before and liked it, but would I really want to eat takoyaki when some percentage of the fish balls have a giant…

Last time, Sakuta had just met up with the mysterious Touko Kirishima, the mysterious singer in a Santa suit. Touko reveals that she’s been giving out Puberty Syndrome as “presents,” so Sakuta naturally asks her to cut it out with that nonsense. Touko agrees, because she’s already done with it: she’s gifted Puberty Syndrome to…

I’m a little late getting to this episode; I wanted to sit on it for a few days and see if I could make more sense of my thoughts. But everything is still a jumble. Shizuka’s trip to Tokyo went almost exactly how I thought it would, except I did not expect the earlier parts…
