Best part of the episode, aside from the 15-second Raika cameo.

So, we find out why Sora’s nursing a huge crush on Yuuta this week… he gave her a band-aid years ago. I’m not even sure if that’s something a kid would remember for a long time, much less be the reason to fall in love with a guy. Also he put it on a small scrape. Do you even usually put a band-aid on those?

A little surprised the seiyuu neighbour and the strawberry dudes made an appearance this week. The neighbour has her own cute little story in one of the manga spinoffs which I would recommend if you’re interested in knowing more about. The strawberry dudes are just hilarious. Though, to be honest, I just want more Raika. Her reaction when she finds out about the girls is going to be great entertainment.

Also Miu, I’m not sure how to be “delicacy” when your sisters keep running naked around the house. What’s he supposed to do when they won’t respect their own privacy!

I feel you, Kaito-kun. I feel you. Just… hang on.

(Warning: long post ahead.)

Proper mecha fighting episode this week, but it bored the socks off me since it was fully focused on Shrade and his sad sad past. Something about dark Element powers and a weak body, lifelong tragedies etc etc. That part about the dark Element part makes me wonder if he’s gonna be the Sirius of this series, which would be weird if Mikono is really Alicia’s “Light” half. Oh… and apparently that Alicia is still alive and preserved on Altair. *shrug*

Cool insert song after the opening this week though. Poor Andy will never get to Gattai with girls ever… ;_;

Next week looks significantly more interesting. Kimodameshi episode with Zessica? Yeaaaaah.

ALL MY JELLY!!! TAKE ALL MY JELLLLLYYYYYYY, JUNICHIIIIIIII!!!!

Dammit, show some restraint, boy! Beach trips, good morning sex and THIS?! It’s too much… I tell you, too muchhhhh!!!!

Also stop being a dumbass and doublecheck the answer sheet after you’re done with it. Missing the answers by a row is a fucking ridiculous mistake to miss.

Since this was mainly another transition (read: talking talking talking) episode, have another cap of Shana enjoying food.

Well, the remaining three Gods sure joined in pretty easily and I was actually looking forward to them having some sort of battle (either verbal or physical) before they joined in, but it seems that Centerhill’s last words were enough after all. Then the episode suddenly swerved all the way back to Misaki and Sakai appearing before Yoshida and Eita. Apparently he needs Yoshida’s power to finish Xanadu… which I find weird lol.

Sadly enough, it also confirms that the final battleground will be in Misaki City itself. Looks like we might be seeing some collateral damage…

Hanekawa sure increased her flirting skills from the last season. I laughed like mad when she gave Araragi that “ticket”. Also his accidental exposure too. Man, he should be more careful when there’s guests over. Really liking Hanekawa’s hairstyle and glow this season.

HOLY SHIT AKAMATSU, THIS IS GENIUS. TROLL BUT GENIUS.

Oh crap.

So…. wow, Ryoko turns out to be the Big Bad as well? I really didn’t expect this, and what’s even more impressive is how she is masterfully hiding it under that veneer of carefree lesbianism. Of course, it’s not explicitly confirmed yet, but same voice? Same hairstyle? That sneaky grin? The barrier power? Can’t be anyone else but her… or her evil twin sister.

Well, this show is really doing a good job throwing out plot twists and character revelations. I’d even say this is becoming the dark horse of the season. While it’s not the Madoka of the year level or anything, this show is definitely shaping up to be something I can look forward to every Friday now.

Also I lol’ed at the explanation that the EU handed over Durandal to the Japanese government in exchange for writing off defaulted loans.

Miketsukami is still so fabulous even when he’s being jealous ^^;;;
