TARI TARI - 12

Despite all my criticisms of this show, this episode leading up to the finale did bring tears to my eyes.

Accel World - 23

I love you, Kuroyukihime!

Accel World - 21 & 22

I'm so over this whole Nomi arc.

Sword Art Online - 10

Best episode of SAO so far?  I think so!  Not only do we get to see Asuna in action, but we get a kiss, sex (!!) and a marriage proposal!  This episode made me wonder whether or not the side stories at the beginning were really necessary.  They did a great job at fleshing out Kirito's past with just snippets from episode 3 that I wonder whether or not episodes 2-7 were truly necessary.  I guess we'll just have to see how it ends; if it ends in a way that is satisfactory, then I'll be happy.  If not, I'll blame it on the side stories.  So far though, as someone who has not read the LNs and therefore have no expectations, I'm enjoying this quite a bit.

Sword Art Online - 09

I love badass Kirito and his dual wielding swords!  Hats off to Asuna, played by Tomatsu Haruka, too; I got chills when she screamed and rushed into the battle.

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.

Accel World - 20

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!
