TARI TARI - 09

Wien is such a huge nerd!  But we finally see some of his back story; when a sick kid and returned mail is involved, it's never a good sign.  And despite the optimistic tone of the Choir Club getting permission to have their jobs, there are clouds in the horizon with the principal and vice-principal.

I just want to punch Nomi in the face every time he appears onscreen.  Which would be bad, you know, because I'd be punching my computer.  And I love my computer.  I do not love Nomi.

This week played out pretty much like I expected, in that Chiyu healed Nomi for her own reasons.  My hypothesis is that she has some sort of plan for defeating Nomi, but first she must make it seem like she's on his side.  I did not expect what I think is the latest incarnation of Chrome Disaster to make an appearance in Haru.  Seriously creepy.  And as for re-appearances, we get to see Niko again next week!

I love Houtarou's reaction to everyone else's reaction to him being curious.

It's hard to stay motivated when it feels like your whole world is crashing down.

The connection between Hime's side arc and Haru's struggles with Nomi become clear as Black Lotus battles a Burst Linker named Sulfur Pot.

Even the smart ones can be blinded by their own desires and act foolishly.

A Hime arc!  Looks like we won't be getting any answers to the Haru's current dilemma until the week after next since Hime's adventure hasn't finished yet.

We're finally awarded for waiting to hear Wakana sing as she joins the group as a full member!

TARI TARI - 04 & 05

Episode 6 finally sheds some light onto Wakana's past, but before that, we finally see Sawa lose her cool!

Why, Chiyu, WHY??

Most of the episode was devoted to the battle between Nomi and Takumu and Haru.  I honestly don't have much to say, but it certainly was frustrating to see Chiyu heal Nomi just when Haru and Takumu have almost beat him.  I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt and hope that she has a good reason.  Hopefully this rage-inducing arc will end soon!

Natsuyuki Rendezvous - 05

They certainly took a strange turn this week by banishing Hazuki to a sketchbook world drawn that Shimao, complete with a miniature Rokka!  I'm not really quite sure what to make of it so far.  Guess we'll have to see what next week brings us.

Accel World - 15 & 16

Trying to get back on track with anime after a vacation is tough!
