Finales: Rokka, Gate, Shimoneta, Teekyuu5

Rokka no Yuusha ends, for now, but not without a big belly laugh at our expense. As for who the fake brave was:  I KNEW IT!  I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!  I KNEW IT EVEN BEFORE THE SHOW HAD STARTED!  I KNEW IT BEFORE THE BOOKS WERE EVEN WRITTEN!  I AM A GENIUS! ...  Okay …

Shimoneta and Jitsu wa 11

Kajou answers her phone and looks shocked at the end of Shimoneta 11, but there's no doubt that the main story ended here. It's a typical action-packed anime finale episode. Okuma and Kajou barely manage to escape, and Gathered Fabric and Kosuri take the buses and hostages to the high school and announce their terms, …

Tens and one nine: Rokka, Charlotte, Shimoneta

I forgot all about Rokka no Yuusha last week, showing how much the show has captivated me.  So I waited for episode 10 to arrive and now I'll do a two parter, with very little time spent on the first one because it's more of the same.  Okay, the battle and defeat of Chamot wasn't …

Nines: Charlotte, Shimoneta, Jitsu wa

Charlotte 9 tells us a hell of a lot, and they're just getting started. We start with the Zhiend concert, Nao fangirling and Yuu amused, and then the actual concert.  The last song was pretty good and I was getting into it when Yuu suddenly screams and we're in a flashback, though that's probably not …

Eights: Charlotte, Rokka, Shimoneta, Jitsu wa

After an episode where they kill off Yuu's cute kid sister and one of Yuu descending into the depths of despair, remorse, rage, etc, Charlotte 8 tries to make it up to us by giving us a bit of a healing episode.  Yuu happens to meet Sala, the lead singer of ZHIEND.  Stupid coinkidinks aside, …

CC, Rokka and Shimoneta 7, Teekyuu 55

I'm starting to get things mixed up in Classroom Crisis.  Or I'm not paying enough attention.  First, A-TEC feeds Angelina and Iris the information they need to sneak into the hijacked spacecraft's cockpit and gives them a flight plan.  The stupid pilot interferes, Iris has a traumatic flashback and faints, no one is operating the …

Rokka, CC, and Shimoneta 6

Rokka no Yuusha 6 doesn't really go anywhere.  Adlet and the others are still trapped there, and they've all pretty much decided that he's the fake brave, and so must be evil.  Only the princess disagrees but no one much listens to her anyway.  We spend a few minutes watching Adlet invent possible scenarios that …

4-5s, Charlotte, Rokka, Shimoneta, and Teekyu 52-3

I think I might be in a permanent catchup mode.  Sorry about that. Charlotte 4 is a throwaway episode, I hope.  The gang go and stop a pitcher from a nearby high school team to stop using telekinesis on his pitches.  Though I was briefly misled by the idea that the catcher was actually the …

Twos and threes: Charlotte, Shimoneta, Rokka

(watching these episodes on separate days, so there's not much connection between the episode reports) Charlotte 2 doesn't tell us a lot we didn't already know.  We get some of Nao's backstory, how her brother was turned into a lunatic by the experiments the government did on him, and that she escaped.  I can understand …
