Kiniro Mosaic - 9

I'm not sure if you'll be shocked by this sudden epiphany I came upon... but I realized Alice is a full on, hardcore Weeaboo. Another realisation I came upon was... there are only 4 episodes left! NOOOOOOO! Well, Kiniro Mosaic is one of the anime, which should in my opinion just go and get another S2 as soon as possible (though I hope they don't do a Haruhi Suzumiya, or Recorder and Ransell). Already, this is probably one of my favourite Slice of Life's in all history, second only to the ever enthusiastic Minami-ke, which has four successful seasons up to date.

Kiniro Mosaic - 8

I'll be quite honest, in all the School Festival related episodes I've watched, not ONE gives a proper explanation in how they're run, or prepared for. Not only is the matter thoroughly broken down, but it's extracted, analysed, and explored from every angle. Our girls went to visit the exhibition put on by other classes, giving us yet more of a taste as of what to expect from a school cultural festival. Normally, it's as if Aladdin's genie made it all happen in an instant, so this episode really came as a natural relief.

Bleach - 548

A Song of Fire and Ice

To summarize, this chapter was basically Toshiro and Rangiku giving Bazz-B a pulping, though I doubt 'H' the Heat is actually down for the count. Firstly, Bazz-B hasn't even used any trademark Quincy abilities, and if he was struck down with Blut activated, that's something I highly doubt considering he survived a full-on incineration from Yamamoto relatively unscathed. But even then, he has yet to unveil his Vollstandig, the pinnacle of Quincy Powers granting them abilities akin to a Captain with Bankai. Though Kubo seemed to have ended the fight instantly, we can be sure this is just trolling and teasing on his behalf.

My torrent speeds are back up, expect some anime reviews to come your way.

P.S. Also, a fool is always a fool, as most of my reviews are written, but I don't have the pictures... >w<

Bleach - 547

Peace from the Shadows

These past five weeks, Bleach was absent from Jump, and I eagerly awaited its return. For those out there who were disappointed, I must ask that you seriously didn't think Kubo would stuff his 5 week plan into an entire chapter? Assuming this is the final war, all the captain's bankais shall be revealed, and the opening colour pages throws into perspective that both Ichigo's blades are black. Credit to Kubo where it is deserved, though how long this will last remains to be seen in the coming chapters.

To Aru Kagaku no Railgun S - 18

You know last time when I mentioned my concern over how they were going to fit the entirety of the next arc into the final few episodes? Well, that has now been answered, with a dreaded filler arc. They never intended to animate the Daihasei Festival Arc, making Shokuhou Misaki's prior introduction utterly useless. Consolation was delivered, with our less stellar replacement Mugino Shizuri taking the spotlight as the fellow Level 5 in this filler, not to mention Kongou-Sama seems to be retaining a fair proportion of involvement, making me excited for the upcoming future prospect. If anything, I truly believe this arc has potential to exceed that of the original material... a statement I'll revoke after careful consideration.

Free! - 6

Continuing on from the previous episode's drama, Makoto launches himself into the sea in order to save a drowning Rei, who happened to be swimming when a storm brewed up. However, Makoto is struck down by a personal trauma, which resurfaces during his rescue attempt, causing him to lose all resolve. Had it not been for Haruka hearing a voice before Makoto set off, both of them most probably would've drowned, meaning I'd have stopped watching 'Free!'. What counts is that they did survive, though we're left on a cliffhanger when a huge wave crashes down on Nagisa and Rei.

Gen'ei o Kakeru Taiyō - 7

An iron clad rule in this series is that the Tarot is almost never wrong, and is the universal principal holding all things together, so what should one make of it when it predicts an apocalypse? Usually, people would just simply sit down in exasperation, and wait for the end to wash over them, but not our Magica Quartet. With events being set in motion by the annihilation of the Tarot 'Lovers', readers, and everyone alike, prepare for any potential oncoming tragedy. It's bound to happen.
