Tying the Knot with an Amagami Sister :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Kinda strange seeing Uryu suddenly coming in to live at Amagami Shrine where we learned the reason behind it was so that he could enroll at the Kyoto University’s medical school. However things started to get awkward when he met 3 girls who were caught off guard because the priest was absent at the time. Soon after things got cleared up by the priest, all of them were caught by surprise when the he says that Uryu must marry one of his 3 daughters before he takes over the shrine. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 2 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like Uryu felt he was bullied after those girls made him do all their chores after overhearing his circumstances in hopes of getting him to leave. Despite their plan succeeding, they somehow felt guilty for their actions and followed him to an orphanage home where they learned more about him. In the end, they slowly accepted him as a member of their family household. Now that Uryu has returned back to house, the next phase can begin. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. I’m still surprised that Uryu is still living at that shrine after being constantly bullied by those 3 maidens whom he was supposed to choose to get married. We do learn quite a bit about their personality as Uryu takes turn in hanging out with them in their so called Marriage Meeting. However something interesting happens during his marriage meeting with the eldest maiden where he appeared to be falling down the stairs at the shrine, he caught a glimpse of the future when he grasped the talisman before emerging back in his bedroom. Quite an interesting future if I do say so myself however I’m not sure how Uryu feels about that. Can’t wait to see more in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 7/10 | Good episode. It looks like the Amagami Shrine Festival is coming up soon however it seems like the maidens have no idea how to prepare for it since it was usually done by their late mother who was the priestess for the shrine. Unfortunately, the situation got worst when Uryu provoked the visitor who came from another shrine which resulted in them having to sell the shrine if they fail to get 5000 visitors. Uryu tries his best to help by proposing a bunch of ideas however the way the maidens implemented his idea was kinda of funny to watch. Good to see that they were able to get help from the nearby town’s committee who was just discussing about their festival and was willing to help them. Can’t wait to see how their festival plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Can’t believe that guy created a fake account and postings to stop them from achieving 5000 visitors by claiming the festival was cancelled. Thankfully, town’s committee and some of Uryu’s friends managed to promote their festival until they started coming in droves. Unfortunately, they only managed to hit 4999 visitors by the end of the festival. I thought it was that was the end of the line for their shrine but apparently that guy arrived as the 5000th visitor thus ending their ordeal. However the guy now demands that they make sure the visitors become regulars at the shrine. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 7/10 | Good episode. Kinda funny seeing Uryu thinking about those girls while he was in the middle of studying thus losing focus altogether. Asahi offers to help Uryu answer his question in a very unusual way but ended up making a move on Uryu which caught him by surprise. It was still funny seeing how Uryu puts up with their shenanigans every day while being a bit clueless about their true feelings towards him. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 7/10 | Good episode. Kinda funny seeing Uryu having another dream involving his future with the Amagami sisters and Arasiyama Shrine. He panicked after the girls mentioned about requesting help from the head of Arasiyama Shrine on how to run their shrine since they will be busy with school. We also learned that those girls trained under Yoshino who heads the Arasiyama Shrine. Unfortunately, she refuses to help the girls which I believe its due to Uryu as she determined that it was Uryu is the one who will determine the future of the shrine by means of marrying the Amagami sisters. Kinda funny seeing Uryu having to deal with the 2nd sister after she felt depressed due to what Yoshino said. It seems like the girls was just messing with Uryu in order to get him to unveil his true feelings which cheered them up but made Uryu very annoyed that he was tricked into doing so. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like something is bothering Asahi. After much prodding from Uryu, we learned that she was offered a sport scholarship from a school in Tokyo. She was initially planning to move away and live by herself hence why she didn’t tell her sisters. However, Uryu decides to let the other sisters know about it and after much deliberation, Asahi decides to stay. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 9 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like Uryu is having one of those dreams again about his future with the Amagami sisters. Looks like Mahiru and Yumiko are having a chat about Uryu and the Amagami sisters where they seem to be exchanging stories when they were raising them. Kinda funny seeing the Amagami sisters give their answer to Yomiko about the inheriting the shrine without any thought about what they plan to do with the shrine. However it seems like Uryu is still hesitant when asked about marrying the Amagami sisters but was willing to continue supporting them while pursuing his goal of becoming a doctor. Can’t wait to see how this will play out in the coming episodes. |
| 10 | 7/10 | Good episode. Quite surprised seeing Uryu ending up in the same school as Yuna. What made it even more hilarious was the fact that he ended up in the same class as Yuna where he was the only guy in that class which must be very awkward for Uryu. I guess that is what it takes to get into Kyoto University. Kinda funny seeing both of them trying so hard to hide their relationship from the rest of their classmates. Later he ran into Shirahi and they caught up on everything. Unfortunately, Amagami sisters were surrounded by guys taking their photos which prompted Uryu to save them. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
TASUKETSU -Fate of the Majority- :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 12 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. At first, this new person Raion whom they brought in seems kinda sketchy especially when he tried to lie but was unable due to one of their members Prime Right ability. However he learned about Gobo group’s successful battle against the Emperor, he decides to join their group. From there, we can see he resembles a lot like Saneatsu given how he managed to come up with plan after they ran into one of the Queen’s henchman after uncovering a spy in their group shortly after the Queen’s broadcast declaring war on the “Emperor” Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 13 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like this Queen has sent more of her henchmen to go after them just as they were coming up with a plan on how to defeat her. At first, they struggled against the attacks whereby one can replicate and swap positions while the other had the water/ice power. Luckily, Raion got some help at the very last moment thanks to Gobo. Unfortunately, those henchmen escaped once again thus they were not able to get information from them. Can’t wait to see how they go about it in next week’s episode. |
| 14 | 7/10 | Good episode. Looks like Raion has come up with a plan to lure out the queen after they suspected that she removed the body of the emperor from the building after their battle. It turns out Raion hunch was correct as we can see the body of the emperor inside the Queen’s HQ as she was planning her next course of action. Unfortunately, it seems like the Queen has somewhat predicted Raion’s move thus sending her henchmen to the emperor’s HQ building. How will they counter this???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 15 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like everything went according to plan until they realised one of the Queen’s henchmen unveiled his power, Prime of Destruction. Luckily, they were saved by other members of Saneatsu’s group who I thought perished during the battle against the Emperor. Soon we learned how they survived and what they were doing in the background which was quite impressive as they already caught a member of the Queen named Mutsuki. Will they be able to get the info they need from the captured member???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 16 | 7/10 | Good episode. Looks like they were able to get a bit more information out of Mutsuki. From there, they begin preparations on where to locate the Queen’s base and defeating while taking into account that she may have already relocated since Mutsuki capture. Kinda sad seeing Raion feeling left out of the discussion as the others was contributed a lot of ideas towards their plan. His feelings became more apparent after he saw Saneatsu in-person. Luckily, the others realized this and tried to cheer him up. Can’t wait to see how their plans play out in next week’s episode. |
| 17 | 7/10 | Good episode. We learned a bit more on the Queen from Sudo and Yagihashi as they prepare to launch their attack on the Queen. However the Queen was also doing the same as she enlists help from a priest, Seraphiel. Soon the attack commences and it seems like Raion’s group is being slightly pushed back. It seems like either the Queen or one of her subordinates have the power to revive the dead hence their earlier confusion as to why the foes they previously defeated are still alive. I wonder how they will tackle this????? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 18 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems Raion has some concerns in regards to the intel they got from Mutsuki and wants everyone to be cautious as they prepare to launch an attack on the Queen. Meanwhile, we see the Queen’s subordinates are also making preparations in anticipation of the upcoming Killer’s Game event. I find it amazing that they were able to convince Knight to betray the Queen while rescuing his siblings without any issue. However the game is still not over yet, as the game is still ongoing and it seems like the Queen has more plans in order to find them. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 19 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like the Emperor is making her rounds gathering more Prime Rights which is starting to make Raion a bit uneasy therefore they come up with a dangerous plan to infiltrate Queen’s army using Raion. From there, we learned that the Emperor has a new member, Kai Kasai who posses quite a deadly ability called Prime Right Morgage Right which allows him to gain that person’s Prime Right whenever the other party breaches what they agreed upon. I wonder what Yagihashi is plotting???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 20 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Raion was able gain the trust of the Queen. However their situation becomes a bit complicated when she demanded that he display his loyalty to them. Unfortunately, Rika was killed after sending off Raion and Souma to their meetup location with the emperor which was quite devastating for the whole team especially Omi. However their situation got even worse after during the rescue of Souma and Hikari when Shinozaki was attacked after they escaped the enemy’s HQ. Furthermore, Souma was forced to use his power to allow Hikari and Ryuta to escape. Not sure how they will move forward with two losses from this mission. I guess we will find out in next week’s episode to find out. |
| 21 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like Yagihashi’s plan goes beyond what I have ever seen as we see Hirayama and Fukami accusing each other of being a traitor in attempt to kill the queen during one of their attacks. Unfortunately, the queen was revived by Kou who possesses Resurrection Right. Later we learned the Queen’s plan which was to locate Teppei Yoshii as he possesses the power of Obedience Right. We learned quite a lot about the TASUKETSU game which seems to be some of kind of experiment gone wrong. Not sure what Iruga is plotting as he plans to tell the Queen about the location of Teppei Yoshii in the presence of Raion. Can’t wait to see how Yagihashi’s plan plays out in next week’s episode. |

| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Natsuki’s conversation with Corneas didn’t end well as he ended up severely injured.

Can’t wait to see the outcome of his plan in the coming episodes…….. |
| 8 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like they are still fine tuning the details of their plan to defeat four Sin Archbishops.

| 2 | 7/10 | Good episode. Looks like we start off with single matches where Oni faces off against Q.P from Germany, At first, it seems like Oni has the upper hand however as the match progresses, Q.P manages to overpower him and score a win. We also learned a bit about Q.P’s past where he actually came from an orphanage and how one coach was determined to bring out the best in him despite protests from the high-ups. Now we get to see the fruits of their labour during this match. However Oni still has a few tricks up his sleeve. Can’t wait to see how this match plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Oni was leading in the match against Q.P at first. However it seems like Q.P was able to turn the match around in a blink of an eye. Oni tried to counter but ended up injuring himself which allowed Q.P to pull ahead. Even though, Oni was able to pick himself up but it wasn’t enough to win the match. Can’t wait to see how their 2nd doubles match will turn out in next week’s episode. |

| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Quite surprising seeing Ryoma’s older brother, Ryoga playing for Team Spain where he defeated Reinhart from Team USA with such overwhelming force. So I guess Ryoga and Ryoma are not from USA to begin with but rather from Spain given that flashback we saw during their play. Kinda sad seeing Team USA losing out in the semi finals to Team Spain. Meanwhile, Team Japan is having their double matches against Team Germany. If they win, they will most face off against Team Spain in the finals. Who will win????

I guess we will only find out later down the line. |
| 3 | 7/10 | Good episode. We learned quite a bit about Sasaki’s past where every ambition he ever had always never works out.

| 4 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Sasaki getting used to working at the convenience store. We learn a bit about Hana and her past which was quite interesting. I think the most interesting part is the difference between Sasaki and Hana kinda covers for each other’s weakness. Kinda funny seeing Hana dragging Sasaki to go fishing just to get back at him for teasing her for not being able to count. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 7/10 | Good episode. Its payday and it was funny to see Sasaki receive his pay after working at the store a month. Unfortunately, we get to see his weakness which is lack of control when it comes to managing his finances as evident when the girls drag him to go shopping at the fishing equipment store where spend a huge chunk of his money there. However things got even worse after he tried out Takaaki’s fishing gear and decided to buy a similar one for himself which ultimately put him in the red.

Later, Takaaki accidentally saw what Sasaki was really worried about and tries to coax him to go seek treatment to which Sasaki kept holding off with various excuses. Soon after, Sasaki ran into Takaaki’s uncle who requests that Takaaki visit his brother’s grave.. It seems to me that both Takaaki and Sasaki have been running away from reality of life by going fishing. Unfortunately, when Takaaki got a bit pushy, Sasaki conveyed Takaaki uncle’s message which caused an argument between those two. Will they be ok???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |

| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Quite interesting to see Taiki having feelings for Chinatsu despite the difference in their athletic abilities where Chinatsu seems to do a lot better than Taiki as pointed out by his friends. Quite shocking when he thought Chinatsu was moving overseas but when he confronted her she corrected his misunderstanding by saying that only her parents were moving overseas but she decides to stay behind. However I never thought she would be staying at Taiki’s house. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |

Soon he faces off against Haryu in a Singles Match where he loses miserably which prompted Chinatsu to help Taiki practice after school despite being a total beginner at badminton. Looks like Taiki’s hard practice has paid off when he was paired with Haryu for the upcoming doubles match to which he had to endure Haryu’s training regime as preparation especially after Haryu overheard that he liked Chinatsu which resulted in his training regime getting harder. Can’t wait to see how they will work together in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. I think Taiki is getting a bit too nervous for the upcoming match that he accidentally took Chinatsu’s gym clothes We finally get to see how Chinatsu feels after seeing Taiki working so hard for the upcoming tournament as well as indirectly unveiling her insecurities as she continues to motivate Taiki. Kinda funny seeing Taiki’s reaction when Haryu ups the stakes for his upcoming singles match against his former doubles partner all in the name of Chinatsu.

However it seems like Hina maybe feeling a bit jealous after she discovered that Chinatsu was living at Taiki’s house. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like the thought of Chinatsu living at Taiki’s house seemed to bother Hina quite a bit even though she got an explanation from both Taiki and Chinatsu. Furthermore, pressure from others to didn’t help her situation which caused her to slip up. Luckily, Taiki managed to calm things down after Hina accidentally sprained her ankle during practice. However it seems like Chinatsu feels that she is in the way of Hina’s relationship with Taiki. I guess Taiki will have to tread this love triangle relationship with care. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 7/10 | Good episode. Looks like both Chinatsu and Taiki are hard at work preparing for their respective tournaments with Chinatsu just returning from the tournament where they managed to make it to the final round where they will face off against their biggest rival yet.

Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 10 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Taiki is somewhat bothered by what happened between them and tried to seek relationship advise from Haryu which I guess helps a little. However it seems like Chinatsu seems to have realized what is going through Taiki’s mind and she asks him to forget what happened that night so that they can focus on their goals. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
Mecha-Ude: Mechanical Arms :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 7/10 | Good episode. Not sure where to start but it seems like these Mechanical lifeforms are what sets people apart which kinda explains why there was a fight over Alma before Hikaru by accident after being lured in by a voice calling for help. Kinda funny seeing his initial reaction when Alma became derized to his hoodie after he touched that cube looking object. From there, Hikaru is now being targeted by various parties where one of them even went as far as transferring to his school. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 2 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like there are two groups that are after the Mecha-Ude named Alma that Hikaru possesses namely the ARMS group and the Kagami group. Kinda funny seeing Aki continues to follow Hikaru throughout the day until one of Hikaru’s classmate, Meru led both of them into an abandoned building thinking those two are in a relationship. Honestly, I’m not sure which side to trust despite ARMS is looking like the good guys but that suggestion is not holding much ground after Hikaru was told that they only need Alma and not Hikaru. I wonder what Hikaru will do???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see they decided not to forcefully remove Alma from Hikaru since it comes with severe side-effects for Hikaru. However Aki has been assigned to protect Alma while being forced to set aside her personal feelings. Unfortunately, things got a bit dicey during one of her missions where other Mecha-Ude holders tried to take Alma despite their best efforts to keep him hidden. Good to see Hikaru was able to awaken some part of Alma’s power and put a stop to the enemies plan as well as saving Aki’s life. So basically Hikaru has proven the boss of ARMS wrong of the claims that he can’t utilize Alma’s powers. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode………. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Not bad for Hikaru’s first mission as he managed to defeat the enemy whom seems to be controlled by a worm-like creature. Kinda funny seeing Jun transferring to his school solely to go after Hikaru and Alma. So basically we now have Aki and Jun fighting over Hikaru. We did learn a bit about Alma from Jun which took us by surprise when he claimed that Alma belongs to his family. Meanwhile, Aki seems to have ran into that worm-type Mecha Ude wielder who was attacking her comrades. Unfortunately, she was not able to save him but why flee the scene???? Soon we learn from the leader of ARMS about Alma’s true capability which explains why everyone is after Alma. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like worm-type Mecha Ude wielder was actually Aki’s long lost sister, Fubuki as evident by her confession when they met. Unfortunately, during that time there was a epidemic among Mecha Ude wielders where some of them would lose control of their Mecha Ude and go berserk. So far the leader of ARMS suspected that Aki and her sister is behind it and orders HIkaru to bring her in. We also learned that Fubuki is suffering from some kind of illness that could only be cured by Hikaru’s Arbitrium used to awaken his trigger arm. Not sure if that Mecha Ude is telling the truth or not. I guess we will only find out in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 9/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Aki decided against getting Hikaru involved with her plan even though he voluntarily accepted her offer despite not knowing what will happen to himself. We finally realised the Fubuki was being controlled by that worm-type Mecha-Ude, Amaryllis and the ARMS boss has been keeping that a secret from Aki. Luckily, Hikaru managed to save Aki before Amaryllis managed to take over her body. Good to see Kagami stepping in to free Fubuki from Amaryllis while Hikaru managed to awaken more of Alma’s power to defeat Amaryllis. Not sure if that is the last time we will see Amaryllis. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Alma has finally regained his memory after that battle with Amaryllis but he was too afraid to tell Hikaru. Unfortunately when Hikaru does ask Alma about it, he ran away from him in order to protect Hikaru from experiencing what his previous owner went through. We soon learned about Alma’s past from his older brother, Fist at ARMS HQ and another ability of Alma that returned after he regained his memory which was he can generate his own Arbitrium thus doesn’t require a human to derize. It seems like Alma has decided to go with Jun to return to enemy’s HQ to awakening Ordela. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned a bit more about founder of the Kagami Group, Yakumo who awakened with Alma in the past and lost his life as he attempted to awaken Ordela, the originator of all the Mecha-Ude. Unfortunately, his legacy still carries on till today where the group once again attempted to use Ordela’s powers to open up the gate to the world of Mecha-Udes with Alma as the trigger. Unfortunately, things did not go according to plan as it went out of control. Will Hikaru and his friends be able to stop it???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 9 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Hikaru and Alma working together with Kagami in order to seal way Ordela who was recently reawakened. Quite surprised seeing Kagami using a much more powerful Mecha-Ude during the fight. After defeating Ordela, we soon learn that there was one more enemy left which left me gobsmacked as it turns out to be Yakumo himself. What will Hikaru do???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 10 | 9/10 | Awesome episode. It turns out this Yakumo person is just a corpse being manipulated by his Mecha-Ude, Fist. Good to see Hikaru and Alma put up a fight against them however Fist was stronger and ended up severely injuring Hikaru while managing to absorb Ordela’s power thus unleashing chaos throughout the Japan. Good to see everyone with a Mecha-Ude working together to take down Ordela despite the odds. However it seems like it may be too late to save Hikaru’s life due to his severe injuries. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
Rurouni Kenshin Season 2: -Kyoto Disturbance- :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Kenshin has decided against taking a boat to Kyoto to avoid an ambush by Shishio but rather take the alternate route via Tokaido. Good to see Sanosuke and Yahiko wanting to tag along after seeing Kaoru feeling down but were struggling to prove their strength to Saitou who overheard their plans to join Kenshin in Kyoto. Good to see Megumi was able to talk some sense into Kaoru thus lifting her spirits. I wonder how Sanosuke, Yahiko and Kaoru plan on getting stronger so that they can help Kenshin???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 2 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Aoshi is back for his revenge against Kenshin as per his visit to the Dojo only to find that he already left Kyoto. Not sure what happened to him after their last battle as he seems somewhat dejected. He even rejected an offer from Shishio which was not surprising given his lone wolf nature. However I think Shishio will try to recruit Aoshi no matter the circumstances. Meanwhile, Kenshin ran into a burglar named Misao where she tried to take him on only to fail miserably. After forcing her to return the stolen goods, Misao mentioned something that left Kenshin dumbfounded. I guess she knew a thing or two about Oniwaban clan. Can’t wait to see his journey continue in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Kinda funny seeing Misao trying to follow Kenshin no matter how many times he tried to lose her. In the end, Kenshin allowed Misao to tag along with him before running into a severely injured person. Unfortunately, the person passed away before they were able to get help. Later they found a boy who explained the situation and led them to village that was supposedly abandoned only to find it taken over and his parents killed. It seems like Kenshin plans to take on those people after they tried to take him on. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Looks like Kenshin is finally able to meet with Shishio while being accompanied by Hajime. It wasn’t long before Kenshin had to face off against the Senkaku who was in control of Shingetsu Village. Good to see that Kenshin didn’t outright attack Senkaku as it may reveal his secrets to the enemy but instead wear down the enemy which was very smart. In the end, Kenshin was able to land a few fatal blows on Senkaku. Can’t wait to see the outcome of this battle in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 9/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Kenshin was able to defeat Senkaku however Shishio expressed his disappointment because Kenshin was holding back as he was not his Hitokiri self. As a result, he instructs Sojiro to battle him which ended in a draw and Kenshin’s sword broke as a result of their sword blows of Battojutsu. Good to see Kenshin taking this positively although you can sense some displeasure within him. Hopefully he can get his sword fixed before reaching Kyoto as it seems Shishio is going to stop at nothing to draw out the Hitokiri-self inside Kenshin. Can’t wait to see what else awaits him and his friends in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We take a step back and take a look at Sanosuke’s journey where he continues to get lost while desperately trying to get on track to Kyoto. From there, he ran into a monk in training named Anji Yukyuzan who was in the middle of training. He was amazed seeing Anji’s move the Mastery of Two Layers and tries to get Anji to teach him the technique to which a condition was imposed where he must die if he fails to learn the technique within 1 month. Good to see Sanosuke trying is very best to master the technique despite being told he has reached his limits. In the end, he finally managed to master the technique which earned him directions to Kyoto. Hopefully he doesn’t get lost but I guess we can’t hope for much when it comes to Sanosuke. We also learned that Anji is part of Ten Sword elite squads which means we will prolly face him again in the future. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Kenshin and Misao finally arriving in Kyoto where they meet up with Okina who is Misao’s grandfather and has a very unusual personality but seems to have connections. He tries to get a new sword forged from Seiku however his request got refused as that person has stopped forging swords for the peace of Meiji Era. The search for swordsmith continues. Hopefully he can get a new sword forged before Shishio carries out his attack. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Kinda funny seeing Misao and her grandfather not giving up in searching for a swordsmith to help forge a new sword for Kenshin. Meanwhile, Shishio is still busy preparing for his attack by buying weapons and gathering more followers to build an army. Unfortunately, the situation has become more dire for Seiku as his son was abducted one of Shishio’s henchmen, Cho the Sword Hunter after he initially refused to provide information on his father’s last forged sword. The situation got even worse when his wife revealed the location of the sword but their son was still being held hostage. Now we learned that he has quite a collection of swords at his disposal. Will Kenhsin be able to defeat him???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 9 | 9/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Seiku finally decided to give Kenshin his father’s last sword after seeing him put his life on the line for his family. However when Kenhsin takes the sword out of its sheath, he realises its an identical copy of his broken sword which begs the question as to why Seiku’s father would make such a sword. Luckily, he was able to defeat Cho without reverting to his former self. With a new sword in his possession, he should be ready to take on Shishio. Can’t wait to see what else awaits him in next week’s episode. |
| 10 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned about the origins of Kenshin’s sword which was given to him after he decided to stop being the Hitokiri Battosai and become Rurouni. Good to see he was able to help out a couple who saved him after he caught a fever while taking shelter in an abandoned shrine. The fact he was able to use his new sword without killing people is the first step in becoming a Rurouni. Can’t wait to see what else awaits Kenshin and his friends in next week’s episode. |
Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 7/10 | Good episode. Nice to see the whole gang is back together again for another round of Squad Jam inside the world of GGO. However what makes this quite unique is that Pitohui formed a team with M, Fukaziroh, and LLENN and called it “LPFM”. It seems like there are some new team members who will be part of the 3rd Squad Jam. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 2 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like their team LPFM is at a disadvantage when they realised they were placed at the center of the map and being forced towards the center by sinking areas. To make matters worst, they learned that multiple teams have teamed up to take them out as evident by the flares sent out. Kinda amazing seeing them taking out the enemy from inside that freight car after being surrounded by them. Can’t wait to see what their next move will be in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like LPFM has decided to meet up with the rest of allied team since the island is continuing to be flooded. Meanwhile we get to see Clarence and Shirley engage in one to one combat which didn’t end well for both of them as they try to outwit each other but failed miserably. Can’t wait to see how this match continue to play out in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see LPFM has managed to reach the Unknown area as the number of teams remaining continues to dwindle. Kinda interesting to see that no one has gone after them yet. However things started to changed when an announcement was made about a special rule that will apply to select players from each team which completely changed the dynamics of the game. How will they manage this???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 5 | 7/10 | Good episode. We get to see the other team members who got selected to join this new Team BTRY. Some were reluctant to leave their own team for this new team while some were a bit hesitant. However it seems there were many who were happy that they will be able to fight LLENN. Unfortunately it seems like their fight against Team BTRY maybe a bit difficult as their planned entrance to their new opponent’s hideout has been blocked. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Looks like Pitohui is leading Team BTRY with her strategy which was kinda brutal. Soon, LLEN’s team able to make it inside the ship before their hiding spot was completely submerged in water. Unfortunately, Fukaziroh accidentally fired the wrong weapon which took out the enemy but ended up pushing one enemy towards M which resulted in him being strangled by the enemy. Will they be able to save M???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see they were able to save M from the enemy. Meanwhile, it seems like Pitohui is experiencing some kind of fatigue however that didn’t stop her from killing her own teammates as well as the other teams. I think the most shocking part is when we learned that Pitohui was not actually the one chosen Team BTRY but rather it was LLEN. Kinda makes you wonder how the game doesn’t check or have some indication to show who is part of Team BTRY. Will LLEN be ok now that the tables have turned on her???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like LLEN is going all out as evident by her war cry to Pitohui. I’m still quite surprised that Pitohui was able to fool the system and everyone on Team BTRY that she was on their team when in fact it was supposed to be LLEN. As the fight progresses, the ship continues to sink therefore, LLEN tries to eliminate the rest of her opponents until its just her and Pitohui. Good to see LLEN managed to defeat Pitohui once again in such a brutal fight to the death. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them post-tournament in next week’s episode. |
| 9 | 7/10 | Good episode. Kinda funny seeing her team still using LLEN as bait during their regular battles in GGO. However it seems like her luck may have run out has she was shot despite taking the appropriate measures which left her in limbo whether to continue playing GGO. Good to see they were able to somewhat address LLEN’s concerns outside of the game. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in their upcoming tournament. |
| 10 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like the enemy NPCs for this particularly strong as even LLEN was knocked out as she tried to approach the castle. After observing the other teams approaching the castle and getting wiped out in a similar way. After a bit of discussion, they decided to team up with the other teams to increase their chances of winning. I wonder if they will be able to convince the other teams to do so especially after what Pitohui did last time???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
BLUE LOCK 2nd Season: Blue Lock vs. U-20 Japan :

However their ordeals at Blue Lock are far from over as they are now making preparations for their upcoming match against the U-20 Japan. From there, Ego announces the 6 players that the team will be centered around which surprisingly didn’t include Isagi. Now they have to choose which team they will choose for the tryouts which left Isagi a bit hesitant. Luckily, after a quick chat with a few people including Reo, he finally made his decision to go for Rin’s team. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 2 | 7/10 | Good episode. Looks like the first match has been decided and it turns out Isagi (a.k.a Team A) and Chigiri (a.k.a Team B) are going to face off against each other. Unfortunately, it seems like Isagi is struggling to score a goal while trying to work together with Rin. However Chigiri was able to score a goal by forcing his way through despite being ignored by his own teammates thus resulting in him being acknowledged by his teammates. It seems like situation is getting worst with Team A as their teamwork is no where to be seen while Team B is slowly pulling ahead. Can Isagi turn this match around???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Isagi is always one step behind because by the time he figures things out its too late to make the target because results either his plan getting shutdown by the opponent or he missed the crucial shot due to his lack of physical activity. Luckily Hiyori gave him some tips to overcome it which is to use reflexes which took him sometime to grasp but Isagi eventually managed to get ahead of Shidou and Rin and scored a goal. Good to see that his surprise attack gained the praise from both Rin and Shidou. Can’t wait to see Reo and Nagi’s match in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 7/10 | Good episode. Just like Isagi’s match, Reo struggles to keep up with Nagi as he is always one step ahead. Despite trying his best, he was still unable to score his own goal until he looked back at himself and realised what he needed to do in order to evolve thus awakening his own playstyle, the Chameleon. Good to see he was able to utilize his own playstyle in order to get ahead and land a goal however it wasn’t enough to beat Rin’s team. Can’t wait to see who will get selected for their upcoming match against Japan U-20 in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Isagi being chosen in Blue Lock lineup tot ake on the Japan U-20. Unfortunately, the same cannot be sad fir Shidou after he caused such a disturbance in their last tryout match as well as Sae Itoshi’s demands. Good to see Junpei going through the final preparations with his newly chosen lineup in preparation for the match. Can’t wait for the match to begin in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see everyone is excited for their match against the U-20 Japan. It seems like Shidou will not be part of the U-20 Japan starting lineup as part of the last ditch effort to prevent the team from falling apart. It seems like U-20 Japan’s captain, Aiku is no slouch when it comes to soccer as he was able to intercept Bachira’s pass to Isagi which only made Isagi more excited. Can’t wait to see how the match plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Blue Lock is experiencing a bit of panic during their play with the U-20 team especially after Sae Itoshi managed to score a goal. Luckily Rin still remained calm and asks Isagi to follow his lead which eventually worked as they both managed to open up a path for Nagi to score a goal which shocked the entire audience. Can’t wait to see how the rest of the match plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. The match continues to heat up as each player is doing their best to score a goal for their team. We also learned why Nagi was able to pull off such an incredible goal which according to Ego was a result of their trials inside Blue Lock. Kinda funny seeing Rin use Isagi as bait to lure the opponent so that he can score another goal. Luckily the rest of Blue Lock Eleven team was able to hold their ground to ensure the opponent doesn’t score until the end of the first half. It seems like the U-20 Japan team may switch in Shidou for the 2nd half of the match. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 9 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. As the team prepares for the 2nd half of the match, we learn a bit more about Rin and Sae’s past which was somewhat heartbreaking to watch where they were inseparable at first to becoming complete rivals. It seems like Sae’s trip overseas has really changed him which resulted in Rin completely hating his older brother. Now that the U-20 team is bringing in Shidou into their lineup, how will the 2nd half match play out???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 10 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. As expected, Shidou seems to be in sync with Sae until their own teammates can’t catch up which eventually allowed them to score a goal thus tying the score. Unfortunately, things are not looking good for Blue Lock as they had to sub out Niko and Chigiri after they got injured while one of them got a yellow card during their attempts to stop Shidou. With Reo and Hiyori being subbed in, will they be able to turn this match around with their abilities???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
Blue Exorcist Season 4: -Beyond the Snow Saga- :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems their exams has been pushed forward in light of the recent events cause by the Illuminati which prompted a lot of concerns from various parties where one of the concerns is the quality of the Exorcists being produced. However it seems like Mephisto already has a plan which was to bring in Arch Knight Lightning as an instructor at the Exorcist Cram School but it seems he is not too keen on being an instructor. Kinda funny seeing the way Suguro begs to be his apprentice which resulted in a gauntlet of odd jobs and tests before he finally gave in. Meanwhile, it seems like Yukio is doing something dangerous again as evident by his odd behavior during class. Can’t wait for next week’s episode to learn more……… |
| 2 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Yukio is trying to trigger his Demonic power behind Rin’s back however was unsuccessful despite various methods he used. Honestly, I’m not sure why he wouldn’t just work with Rin on this and come up with something less cruel to trigger the power. Meanwhile, Shiemi and Rin were sent on a mission to cleanse a house where she acts quite nervously around him which led to a bit of one to one after they both fell down a hole. Kinda funny seeing Rin having to blow up the house after being told not to. Good to see Shiemi feeling more like herself after that one to one with Rin. Can’t wait to see what awaits Yukio and Rin after Mephisto informs them of their upcoming mission……….. |
| 3 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Mephisto has caught on to what Yukio was doing in his spare time as he sent both Rina and Yukio on a mission to find Shura who went missing after visiting her hometown. Kinda funny seeing Rin trying to have little bonding time together with Yukio however it seems Yukio doesn’t feel like opening up to him just yet. After discovering Shura unconscious in the forest, we learned about her past as well as her fate which prompted Rin to offer to help her. Unfortunately, Shura was kidnapped a few moments later after reporting in to Mephisto. Can’t wait to see what Rin and Yukio plan to next…………….. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Rin and Yukio making it in time to rescue Shura. However they soon realise the power possessed by Hachiro was dangerous therefore Yukio staged a ridiculous plan on the spot in order to free Shura from her contract with Hachiro which worked really well due to Rin’s cluelessness of the plan. Unfortunately, it seems like Hachiro is quite persistent and drags Shura into the depths of the lake. Will they be able to rescue her???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 5 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Rin, Yukio and Shima managed to rescue Shura from Hachiro despite the odds stacked against them. We also learned a bit more about Shura’s relationship with Rin and Yukio’s father, Shirou which was quite interesting. It seems Shima has caught on to what Yukio was doing in his spare time and indirectly pushes the idea from leader of Illuminati. What will Yukio do???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Not sure what is the end goal of Mephisto as he plans to use Rin and his friends to fight against the Illuminati. We also learned the real reason why Arch Knight Lightning joined them which was to investigate Mephisto as he may be hiding something. Meanwhile, it seems like Hachiro was captured by the Illuminati after being defeated by Rin. I guess they will be performing a bunch of experiments on him. Kinda funny seeing Shiemi looking confused after Rin tries to confess his love for her which resulted in a little help from Izumo. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode……. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned quite a bit from Lightning and Suguro little investigation into Blue Night which unveiled Section 13 that Mephisto kept hidden in an alternate dimension where experimentations were carried out. While they were investigating, the discovered a room with a lot of test subjects inside glass containers. Unfortunately, their presence caused those test subjects to awaken and break out of their containers to attack them. Luckily, Mephisto teleported them out of the dimension and unveiled the remaining pieces of the puzzle which shocked Suguro. Now we know the remaining piece of Rin and Yukio’s past as they were the end results of those experimentations. One question still lingers, why Yukio is having difficulty in awakening his power if he has the same power as Rin???? Can’t wait for later episodes to find out. |
| 8 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Quite shocking to learn that Shimei has decided not to become an Exorcist thus she will no longer be joining them on missions after the exams. Meanwhile, it seems like Bon has found missing record during his search of Section 13 experiments which Lightning will look into. I wonder how deep this rabbit hole will go???? Kinda funny seeing most of their Christmas preparations went up in smoke after Shimei’s familiar rolled over in its sleep. Thankfully, the food survived thus they were still able to enjoy their Christmas/Birthday party. Later, Yukio finally expresses his frustration at Rin after Shura unveil the story where she met their mother. I wonder what has got him so worked up???? I guess we will find out in next week’s episode. I suspect given everything Bon has discovered so far, I suspect that their mother was used in Section 13 experiments. |
| 9 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learn a bit more about what Yukio and Rin were arguing about last night where it seems their ideals clash. From there, we can see a change in Yukio’s character which is kinda scary in my opinion. It seems to me that he is becoming more desperate in learning about the secret behind their birth. The fact he even went as far to threaten Bon during the wedding of Juzo Shima and Mamushi Hojo in order to learn what he dug up during his visit to Section 13 just shows how desperate he his. Honestly, I’m surprised he is letting the words of Lucifer really get him. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 10 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Looks like Yukio is becoming more emotionally unstable despite his best attempt to put a strong front. This was made worst when Lightning unveiled some details of his investigation which seemed to only made him angry and more isolated from the others. He tries to talk it out with Shimei but it didn’t go well and he ended up trying to shoot himself which appears to have triggered his demonic powers despite being warned by Shima. Kinda sad seeing Shimei running up to Rin and Bon looking visibly upset after her encounter with Yukio. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |

| 14 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. This person that Viole is helping from the Workshop Patrol robots seems quite shady. We soon learn his true objective which was to retrieve the grand prize from the ship which apparently was a human. My guess is that human person tied to a machine that we saw a while back. Meanwhile, everyone else are busy involved with another game set by the coordinator where it involves shooting in order to gain a ticket to get on the ship. Unfortunately, while Viole was fighting off the Workshop Patrol robots, Endorsi came crashing down. Can’t wait to see how this fight plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 15 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Not sure what happened to Wagnan’s teammates as they face off against Chang and Quaetro. Hopefully, Khun’s idea will help them all. Kinda funny seeing Endorsi getting annoyed when Viole instructed the traveller to throw bombs at her as part of their attempt to escape. Meanwhile the rest of Viole’s teammates are also fending off the other teams who seemed to have same goal of eliminating FUG whilst capturing Viole. Could it be they know that Viole is Bam???? Can’t wait to see who will make it to the workshop battle in coming episodes………. |

This has forced Viole unleash his hidden ability which took out his opponents by surprise and forced them to retreat. Now that the game is over, their journey to the ship continues. Meanwhile, the traveller let out the secret to Endorsi that Viole is actually the 25th Bam which caught her by surprise.

Princess Alisha. Honestly, I’m not sure why Prince Azure would not be honest about the Alisha’s death but I guess he has his own reasons.

Not sure if Gerald is behind of it but I guess we will only find out in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Jill was able to defeat this evil goddess which appeared as a spear with a little help from Rave. It turns out that Gerald was one of those involves in instigating the people to go against the dragon emperor. Kinda funny seeing Jill and Hadis still are not aligned with each other when it comes to their relationship. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like the past is slowly beginning to repeat itself as Jill and Hadis were attacked as they were heading towards imperial capital, Rahelm. Soon we learned that leader of the other forces accuses Hadis of being a false emperor by revealing his own divine heavenly sword. Luckily, Rave was able to help them escape at the cost of using up his own power thus he will be out for a while. Good to see Jill taking the initiative to gather allies as the others seemingly want to stay low for the time being. Will it enough???? Can’t wait for later episode to find out. |
| 8 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Jill being accepted into Dragon Knights however during her initiation ceremony, the Captain Elentzia’s dragon began attacking her for no apparent reason leaving her feeling down. Luckily, Hadis realised what had happened and tried to cheer her up which seemed to do the trick. Later she met up Risteard and Captain Elentzia where they began discussing about their uncle claiming to be true emperor. Later Jill was reassigned to work with Risteard after that dragon incident where she apparently caused his dragon to flee upon seeing it which led Risteard follow Jill home where he met Hadis. Kinda funny seeing Risteard trying to drag Hadis back to the capital to meet Captain Elentzia. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 9 | 7/10 | Good episode. Kinda funny seeing Hadis pouting after being dragged to meet Captain Elentzia. Unfortunately, during their negotiations a village was burned down by a dragon knight. However his demeanor changed when he thought Jill was selling him off to Princess Faris but thankfully Jill’s unwavering determination managed to keep his emotions in check so that Captain Elentzia will join forces to fight the false emperor. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
Demon Lord 2099 :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Demon Lord Veltol is somewhat stuck in the past after being reincarnated in the year 2099. Luckily, he still got a few people who are still loyal to him like Machina however the same can’t be said for the rest of his fellow comrades with one of them even betraying him by making devices that enhance one’s ability to surpass Veltol’s powers. After Veltol went to meet him, he finally realises the reasoning behind his betrayal. Unfortunately, he was too slow and weak to counter Marcus’s attacks thus ending up in the dumps as reality finally sets in. Can’t wait to see how he plans to regain power and dominance in the coming episodes………. |
| 2 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned about Machina and how she met Lord Veltol which was quite interesting. Good to see Lord Veltol is trying to being considerate towards Machina by offering to take on jobs so that he will not be a burden towards her. Unfortunately, he is unable to land a job due to lack of Familia implant which kinda sucks. Later Machina introduces Lord Veltol to one of her friends which turns out to be that girl he ran into in the previous. Can’t wait to see how things go from here in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 7/10 | Good episode. I’m actually amazed that Lord Veltol was able to get into game streaming following Takahashi’s advise which helped him gain popularity as well as income. Later he ran into a familiar face from the past during a stroll through the back alleys of Shinjuku’s outskirt which turns out to be the hero that defeated him. So I guess even the Hero can have eternal life but for some reason he seems out of character. After treating him to some ramen, they had a little chat but nothing fruitful came out of it. Meanwhile, it seems like Marcus is up to something big. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. I’m surprised that Lord Veltol was able to recreate some of the Familia’s features using his own magic power. However something disturbing was uncovered while he was helping out Takahashi where he faced against a robot that the Yakuza gang should not have possessed. The item retrieved from it shows the list of all of Lord Veltol’s immortal comrades. Unfortunately, the person who hired Takahashi was also killed shortly after the person hired her for the job, We learned quite a bit about the shady project which powers Shinjuku which made Lord Veltol uneasy. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Unfortunately, Machina was attacked at her home by Marcus and later captured after she lost the fight. Apparently, Marcus’s special familia can hack into other people’s familia and force them to shutdown hence why Machina lost the fight. Luckily, Takahashi was able to use the nearby drones to find out what happened to her. Kinda ironic seeing Lord Veltol having to enlist help from the Hero for his plan to save Machina to which he resisted at first but soon realised that the current Lord Veltol is different from one he encountered from his past life. Unfortunately, it seems like Marcus was already expecting them as they ran into one of his henchmen after taking a secret route. Will they be able to save Machina in time???? Can’t wait for next week’s episode to find out. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned the truth about the fate of the other immortals which pretty much explains why they keep disappearing as time goes on. Good to see the immortal hero, Gram put up quite a fight against Kinohara even in her fancy battle suit of armours which shocked her. Quite surprising seeing a group of robots which attacked both Gram and Kinohara after their battle concluded. Luckily, Lord Veltol managed to save Machina from her demise after Marcus threw her into the Immortal Furnace which in turn powers Aether Reactor of Shinjuku. Can’t wait to see how the battle plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Good to see Lord Veltol was able to use Marcus’s own inventions against him despite trying to give him a chance to surrender but to no avail. Luckily, Lord Veltol was able to use his 2nd form thanks to Takahashi’s help. In the end, Marcu’s refusal to surrender resulted in him being thrown into Immortal Furnace which marks the end for him. Can’t wait to see what else awaits Lord Veltol as his journey continues beyond Shinjuku in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 7/10 | Good episode. Kinda funny seeing Lord Veltol being completely truthful during his visit to Akihabara Private School of Magic “Lu Xel” to find an ancient device which will help him track the rest of his lost comrades. I’m actually surprised they were somewhat understanding however he does have some obstacles to overcome before they will grant him his request. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 9 | 7/10 | Good episode. It seems like Lord Veltol is excelling in his lessons which was much of a surprise given he more experience. Later, he was challenged to a duel by school’s top student Albert after he called him out for provoking Hizuki. Kinda funny seeing Albert being completely defeated during the duel however it seems like Hizuki doesn’t want any contact with anyone which prompted the gang to do some digging at a maid cafe of all places. Unfortunately, they were shocked to learn that Hizuki was actually working there which kinda explains why she was avoiding any contact with people. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
Blue Miburo :
| Episode | Score | Comment/Impressions |
| 1 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Quite an interesting backstory into how Nio joined the Miburo which started with an encounter with a charming swordsmen in their grandmother’s Kyoto eatery who claimed they were investigating a series of kidnappings of young children. I never thought they would use Nio and his sister as bait to lure out the kidnappers from which Nio sensed that one of them was forced to carry out the kidnappings which immediately prompted those swordsmen to invite him to join their team. Can’t wait to see what awaits Nio after he accepted their offer………. |
| 2 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Kinda funny seeing how Nio was greeted by some of the Miburo members after arriving at their HQ. Not sure how on earth did Nio end up in a sumo wrestling match against someone his age but it seemed to enjoy it. We also got to see Nio experience a couple of missions as member of Miburo however it seems like he lacks something which makes him doubt his actions especially after seeing Toshizou mercilessly take out enemies. Hopefully he will be able to find something which can dispel those doubts and give him confidence to strive as member of Miburo. Can’t wait to see what else awaits him in next week’s episode. |
| 3 | 7/10 | Good episode. Nio meets another fellow Miburo member named Tanaka Taro whom despite warnings from Toshizou still tries to make friends with him. We learn quite a bit about Taro along with his personality which seems a bit strange for a boy his age and may have something to do with his past. Kinda funny seeing Okita come along and teach Nio a little technique to gain the trust of a person. Soon we learn the extent of Taro’s problem is when just simply obeyed Serizawa’s orders to clean up his mess of murdering Tonoichi which shocks Nio. Luckily he was able to confront Tonoichi to get the truth out of him. Can’t wait to see what else awaits him in next week’s episode. |
| 4 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. Kinda funny seeing Nio struggle to master swordsmanship which I guess isn’t his strong point. It seems like his determination and clumsiness is annoying another Miburo member, Saito Haijme who happens to be the same age as Nio. Later Hijikata takes them out to town in an effort to get them to know each other where he got more than he bargained for. Luckily, Nio and Saito was able to work together in order to defuse the situation although both of them got an earful for not adhering to Hijikata’s orders. Good to see Saito finally open up to Nio and offers to help him with his sword training. Can’t wait to see what else awaits them in next week’s episode. |
| 5 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like the Miburo was invited to the Aizu’s headquarters in Kyoto to help with the recent killings that was occurring over there. From there, they ran into a kid named Seto where they learned a bit more about the incident. At first, I thought Seto was the perpetrator given his odd behaviour during the conversation Nio however Nio and Saito ran into the real perpetrator whilst heading back to their accommodations. Can’t wait to see how this battle will play out in next week’s episode. |
| 6 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. We learned a bit more about the perpetrator during their fight which uncovered something alarming in regards to what he was fighting for to which Nio disagrees. Unfortunately, their battle escalated by the perpetrator’s ally whom attacked Nio. Luckily, Okita and Taro managed to save him and bring him back to safety. From there, Hijikata finally Nio his own sword so that he can fight back. Can’t wait to see how this plays out in next week’s episode. |
| 7 | 8/10 | Awesome episode. It seems like Nio has realised that Seto had planned the attack on them. After confronting Seto with the evidence, he finally gave in and even offered to help them capture the assassins but Nio refused as he suspects something more behind it. In the end, Hijikata calls out to them that they have lead on one of the assassins. However as they went in to apprehend them, Kondo was almost fooled by the assassin’s old appearance and fake story. Luckily, the assassins was not able to escape therefore was apprehended. Later we see Saito confronts another one of those assassins who was on the lookout for his chance to strike. Can’t wait to see what happens in next week’s episode. |
| 8 | 7/10 | Good episode. Good to see Nio was able to capture the final culprit which earned them the praise from Lord of Aizu as well as change his perspective about the Miburo. Kinda funny seeing them showing off their swordsmanship after being praised by Lord of Aizu. Later, we got to see Nio trying to help Todo-san to win over a lady in town which failed miserably.
