[C]-Control Episode 11--And Nothing is Resolved [Final Thoughts]

So. Things pretty much turned out how I expected. Except for Masakaki's troll comment at the end.

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 12--Love Pentagon

Dealing with the fallout from the previous episodes, Ohana finally makes a decision about Ko while Minchi continues to hesitate around Tohru. Oh, and Ohana's mom continues to make random choices out of nowhere.

[C]-Control Episode 10--Insanity

Mikuni's success in stopping "C" leads to nothing as America bats it back to Japan like it was a fly. A final plan to stop Mikuni and save at least part of the future is put into action as the show sets itself up for the final battle.

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 11--Five Out of Ten

The title is the rating for Ohana's day, not for the episode itself, which was great. There are also less screencaps in this post than usual, since I'm trying out a new posting style.

[C]-Control Episode 9--After the Storm

"C" heads through Japan and Mikuni manages to protect the present... But is what comes after really worth it?

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 10--Sick Day

Ohana gets sick and feels like she isn't really needed at the inn after all. While the plot isn't a strong point in this episode, the character interactions and a strange dream keep things interesting.

[C]-Control Episode 8--Burning Paper

Moving quickly away from the slow pace of the last episode, Kimimaro finally makes up his mind and the real danger of the Financial District is revealed. A last major question is presented: Who or what is "C"?

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 9--Count on Me

Continuing where the last episode left off, Ohana manages to find Tohru and give all of the guests a memorable stay. But on the romance side of the episode, poor Ko-chan didn't get to see her at all...

[C]-Control Episode 7--Walking the Same Road

A slower episode this time around as the show re-iterates Mikuni's motivations in the first half and begins exploring the possibility of Mashu and Kimmimaro having a relationship in the second half. This is all well and good, but it's nothing that the show hasn't touched on before.
