Kiniro Mosaic - 12

With the end of the season being juxtaposed by the beginning of a new year, Kiniro Mosaic burned the fire of hope in my soul for a second season, despite there being no official announcement made for one. In all hindsight, it would be depressing to simply just leave off at the start of a new year, without any plans to recommence the series. Not only will there be many disappointed, crestfallen fans should the production of a second season never happen, but for all I care, they could've just ended the series at the end of the year, rather than giving a glimmer of false hope. Anyhow, read on. Alleviation from my bleak, pessimistic optimism comes in the form of my long delayed review!

PSA - The Return

We might have temporarily stopped functioning owing to a series of unfortunate coincidences which lead to a complete resignation regarding blogging. I apologise for not finding the indomitable will to start up again, but here you have it, I've returned. Unfortunately, finishing the unfinished coverage of the previous seasons will have to wait, but don't despair. Given a long enough amount of time, we'll have caught up on those, not to mention I'll be back blogging the new shows from this season (and resuming coverage of Bleach). Stay tuned for more!

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S - 21

Though the girls in Railgun are a tight-knit bunch, it is indisputable that some members of the group are closer than others. Needless to say, Kuroko serves as being the closest girl to Misaka, and what I really love about her is that she can detect any change in Misaka's vibe. Not only that, but she goes out of her way to cheer Misaka up, without necessarily pushing to know all the facts. She understands that sometimes, the best course of action to take is no action, but to patiently wait out.

First of all, it would seem that our beloved, moeblob Febri-chan isn't exactly human... and while this remains to be discerned, a certain fact would be that she hold the secrets that supply the foundation for the entire arc. While this won't burgeon my opinions on Febri at all, Railgun S is beginning to veer towards yet another action-packed season, and I really hope JC Staff won't fall short of my expectations.

The temptation almost completely overwhelmed me: to make this review solely based around Febri-chan, our latest addition to the cast. While I have resisted outrightly doing so, I can't promise there won't be a heavy inclination in her direction. Other than that, I'm starting to grow really attached to the new OP theme, in spite of my initial distaste.

PSA - To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S

Don't worry, all of the reviews will be going up by tomorrow at the latest. Just have to motivate myself into getting screen caps for the episodes I forgot to get screencaps for. Here are the priority orders for the reviews that I'll be following, and I must apologize to my colleagues for prioritizing the ones I usually cover over theirs.

1. Kiniro Mosaic
2. To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S
3. Free!
4. The World God Only Knows: Goddesses Arc
5. Danganronpa
6. Gen'ei Kakeru wo Taiyo (<-- Dead last for being a dead disappointment)

Kiniro Mosaic - 11

Generally, as a rule of thumb, animes should only make Christmas episodes at Christmas time, and if the anime isn't airing around Winter, then please just make a movie/OVA and release it around Christmas time. Since this episode aired in the middle of September, I just couldn't pick up on the festive vibes, or the traditional Christmas feelings. 

Not to mention my mood got ruined by Alice's phone call, in which she said 'Have a happy holiday, Mum'. No, No, NO! First of all, if it's Christmas, then you've got to make it so that the word actually makes it into the sentence, and the conventional manner of the seasonal greeting in England goes 'Merry Christmas'. In the Christmas Spirit of Forgiving, I suppose I'll let this tiny mistake drop. Anyhow, what actually happened in this episode?

Kiniro Mosaic - 10

Meet Sakura Karasuma, the nicest Middle School teacher in all of anime (not a hard achievement considering most are set in High School). Starting from this Kiniro Mosaic review, I'll be dividing the review into key sections that cover the most important aspects of the episode. Hope you'll enjoy it!
