BanG Dream! Girls Band Party!☆PICO～OHMORI～ Episode #15

Summary: You should all know by now that I’m going to love any episode centered around Roselia. Is my Roselia bias showing again? It most definitely is and I am not ashamed. That being said, this episode was a lot of fun. It was hilarious seeing how everyone reacted to essentially being in someone else’s body. Roselia professional Esports team? I’d pay to see a spin-off series about that! Rinko and Ako definitely carried the team. Yukina was definitely the star though. Everyone was out there fighting the boss while she was picking an herb like a pro. I’m laughing just thinking about it! What a great scene. Never change, Yukina.

Healin’ Good♡PreCure Episode #20

Summary: Asumi is an oblivious dork and it’s adorable. Actually, it’s adorkable. Her transformation was awesome. She’s also a badass. Fists and kicks all the way! And let’s not forget that she singlehandedly defeated one of King Byogen’s generals. If that’s not badass then I don’t know what is. It’s going to be interesting to see how King Byogen responds to this. Once again, welcome to the team, Asumi! Keep on healing the planet, Precure! Oh, and I can’t forget to mention that we got a new ED this episode. I’m going to miss the old one as it was probably my favorite PreCure ending song.

Black Clover Episode #138

Summary: I have been enjoying the character-focused episodes these past few weeks. Nothing wrong with some backstory and character progression! This time around Zora had a chance to shine. We haven’t really seen much of him recently so it’s nice that he was shown some love. I think it’s adorable how much he looks up to his father. I imagine seeing Ina and his dad reminded him a lot about the relationship they had. Zora may seem like a jerk but he’s really a good guy. And lastly, the Petit Clover at the end was amusing. We really need more of them! I will end by saying that Zora shouldn’t be ashamed of playing with dolls. Whatever makes him happy!

Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Episode #06

Summary: Since this was a beach episode, I know a lot of fans must have been excited and knew what to expect. I’d say that it probably met their expectations. Shinichi is really good at finding watermelons of the sugoi dekai kind if you catch my drift. That being said, this was another fun episode. Uzaki sure did blush a lot, huh? It’s adorable how she acts when she’s embarrassed. Uzaki’s voice actress does a really good job conveying different emotions through her voice. And lastly, Uzaki is probably right about Shinichi investing in a hug pillow. I’m sure there are a lot of Uzaki hug pillows out in the market right now that may interest him!

Sword Art Online: Alicization – War of the Underworld Episode #18

Summary: The last two episodes of Sword Art Online have disappointed me. That’s not a secret. But this week’s episode gave me hope again. The Vassago versus Asuna fight was a feast for the eyes. The animation was so spectacular that it made your mouth water. That’s how good it was. And we got a Yuuki cameo! I’m always happy to see her. Asuna even used her Mother’s Rosario technique which was a nice touch. We’ll never forget you, Yuuki! As I mentioned, the Kirito stuff was pretty depressing. I like poking fun at him any chance I get but the guy has been through a lot. Seeing Kirito going through all of his painful memories was an emotional rollercoaster. You couldn’t help but feel bad for the poor lad. Even though he stopped believing in himself, the people that care about him never did. As Eugeo said, their memories keep them connected forever. And finally, Kirito woke up! About dang time. Who’s ready for Kirito versus Vassago!?
