Do you...hate me?

Unlike a certain Hina from Papa, when Nanako weeps, it’s heart-wrenching. Probably one of the series’s best episodes so far (he gets another nifty persona to boot). Between Episode 18 and the Deus-Ex Megidolaon (which I really liked) of the previous episode, this definitely takes the cake.

But with Yu’s courage and understanding maxed out over the course of a single episode, it’s definitely time to progress to episode 19, where he’ll need plenty of the former~!

Don't you just hate censors.

Looks like the author approves of the fan ending. All warm and fuzzy~

Oh, and if you’ve dropped the series for a while, now’d be a nice time to return to it.

Guilty Crown – Episode 15 (aka 2nd BSOD)

Y U NO HEAL SELF FIRST?!

Alright, the first time (involving a younger brother and a pair of shears) was annoying, simply because there was a lesser motive for raging and a ‘wish-granting’ behind it all. Maybe the producers decided justifiable deaths concerning characters you don’t likely care about aren’t enough a stimulus.

So they went ahead and took out one of my favourites of the series.

Making matters worse, it’s presented in similar fashion to the phoenix-down event of Final Fantasy VII, meaning the death was unjustified (you had a heli shoot at you and miss). Well, it’s definitely agonizing, and until someone with a time-travel void shows up it’s likely a non-reversible death.

Still, unlike the previous breakdown this time Shu’s just plain mad. And that’ll mean plenty more exciting things to come with this new development. Impatient wait for Episode 16 then!

Persona 4 – Episode 15

Unrelated: A great mess at the file-sharing side of things, legit or otherwise. With so many hosts down for the count, looks like it’s back to the old ways of torrenting. Not all’s bad news, so long as there’s new episodes coming out~

Hoo yea~ Chihiro~!

Fans of Persona 3 rejoice~! Plenty of references in this episode to the previous game in the series, from locations (it’s based in Tatsumi Port Island) to music (it’s remarkable that they managed to compress most of the soundtrack from Persona 3 into a single episode).

They’ve faithfully adapted Gekkokan High as well, from the interior all the way to the history teacher. Add that to Shirakawa Boulevard (and its ‘hotel’), the alleyway a certain character frequented (where Chie encountered the thugs), and the hilarious ‘King’s game’ at the club and you have another fulfilling extension to the series.

"The King's order is absolute."

Does seem like it’ll be back to the TV world the next episode~ Well, not long to wait now!
