End of June
Chihayafuru S2 24-25! the end! Finally get to see some of Arata and Shinobu's match. Arata shows that despite Taichi's very nice personality, Arata also wins in the niceness department. I do like Kana's support of Taichi x Chihaya despite everything moving against that direction. ~10/10 rating~ for a well-written series with plenty of suspense and comedy for a show about a poetry card game. All the characters were great to watch. I'm glad Mizusawa won the team competition and took every class but class A. I wouldn't mind seeing another season.
Hunter x Hunter 2013 85-86! A quick, tender flashback moment between Kite and Gon x Killua before Kite is well, killed..at least decapitated. Netero and two other hunters show up. Excellent episode. Very sad they did not show Kite's weapon choice and fight...though I suppose they may show it later in a flashback. 86 is a relief as Biscuit returns to train Gon and Killua. There's a twinge of optimism and humor that was lacking in the last few episodes.
Shingeki no Kyojin 12-13! Surprisingly, Mikasa could not reach Titan-Eren. Armin is the one to talk him out of his slump, and gets him to seal the hole in the wall. Eren, Armin and now Erwin...tongue-twister in progress?
