Blood-C Episode 12--I Accidentally the Entire Town (Final Thoughts)

I guess I used up all of my rage last week, because I wasn't mad at this episode at all. What a way to end a show.

Dantalian no Shoka Episode 11--And if I Were Gay, I Would Give You My Heart

"Hey, you know what would be fun? If we made a backstory episode that explains nothing and raises even more questions!"

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 25--This is Sparta Kissuisō

It felt like a lot of the characters had misplaced their brains for the majority of the episode, so I'm glad it ended the way it did.

Blood-C Episode 11--Did it for the Lulz/Money/Fame

Only this show would manage to make a "reveal" episode obvious and boring at the same time.

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 24--Stubbornness

I think that the heron should be the final boss (in a video game sense), but maybe that's just me.

Dantalian no Shoka Episode 10--Bringing the House Down

And not in a good way. I guess that they ran out of obscure cultural references for books and decided to go for music instead?

Blood-C Episode 10--We've Been Trolled?

So... yeah. I'm really not sure what to make of this new development. It definitely came out of left field. Maybe there's more to the plot after all.

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 23--Guess Who's Back

Late post because of school/job hunting/crap dorm internet/other excuses, etc. As for the episode, I was expecting the big reunion moment to happen at the festival, but this works too.

Dantalian no Shoka Episode 9--What Am I Watching

Meanwhile, in a show with a completely different art direction...

Blood-C Episode 9--Massacre

I'm not sure if there's enough blood in this show. They should add some more. /sarcasm

It's that time of year again! I'm all moved in, ready to start my last semester of college, and a whole new season of anime is just around the corner as well. Please keep in mind that the following comments are my own opinion based on the information available and that my thoughts are subject to change throughout the upcoming season. So without further ado, here is Subdued Fangirling's Fall 2011 Preview post!

Hanasaku Iroha Episode 22--A Good Day for a Wedding

Enishi and Takako tie the knot as the series gears up for the finale. And with four episodes to go, there's still plenty of material to cover.

Dantalian no Shoka Episode 8--Fool Me Once

Now that I've given up on the expectation of an overarching plot, it was much easier this week to enjoy this episode. However, that doesn't mean that the content was up to par.

Blood-C Episode 8--The Return of Singing

Although my initial frustration about CLAMP making yet another crossover has worn off, I'm still not happy with the serious pacing issues that this series has.
