Chuunibyou Ren – Episode 3

Full impressions here, but overall, I find Satone a rather enjoyable character thus far.

Sakura Trick – Episode 3

I’m surprised how long it took for Mitsuki, Yuu’s older sister to finally appeared From the look of it, she is the complete opposite to Yuu as she is the Student Council President and looks very studious. While she seems to have an interest in Haruka, I found her reaction when she saw Haruka kissing her younger sister rather hilarious. As always, Haruka’s strong love for Yuu is still the best aspect of the show, especially she goes so far and confess her love on a piece of cloth on a swimsuit.

Nisekoi – Episode 3

As of this week, I will not be doing episodic posts for this show. I will be sharing my thoughts weekly.

While it seems that Kosaki messed her chance of confessing to Raku yet again, I find Chitoge’s situation rather interesting. Apparently, she wants to lead a normal life just like him and he decides to help her make some new friends. Since they have some things in common, it makes me wonder when Chitoge will actually show her true feelings towards him. Still, I wonder who is the blue-haired girl who appeared in his dream.

Nagi no Asukara – Episode 15 and 16

I admit that this show definitely gotten better when Mari Okada did her magic. Episode 14 and 15 was particularly emotional for the fact that Chisaki was afraid to show herself in front of Hikari, especially for the fact that he didn’t change at all. Through Tsumugu’s trickery, he managed to get her to meet Hikari again with the usual teasing. Thankfully, Hikari managed to get a hold of him and take the changes at his own pace.

As for Episode 16, it’s a bit light-hearted in comparison. It seems that Miuna has a lot of obstacles in her way before she can try to win Hikari’s heart. She apparently gets angry with Sayu. Apparently, Sayu doesn’t like the idea of her going out with him, thus causing them to get angry at each other. While he manages to calm her down, watching her gain Ena was a surprising development for the fact that half-sea people don’t have it. With this development, it makes me wonder how would Akari and Tsumugu react for the fact that Miuna didn’t drown.
