Anime of the Week (4/15 – 4/21)

Anime of the Week – Sankarea
	The emotional energy of this anime is powerful. Rea’s despair and despiration, her father’s madness and Chihiro’s shock and awe are unbelievably tangible.

April 16	Fate/Zero Ep. 15 The battle was epic as always, but I’m more interested to know what’s going on behind the scenes. What is Kirei up to?
	Acchi Kocchi Ep. 1 Initial impression – fuel for the moe inferno http://wp.me/p1Gaby-l3

April 17	Saki: Achiga-hen – Episode of Side-A Ep. 1 Initial impression – pleasing, but lacking impact (5/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-la
	Mirai Nikki Ep. 26 With an epilogue like that after a nebulous ending it feels very much like this series can’t possibly be over just yet.
	Acchi Kocchi Ep. 2 It’s like there’s a delicate perfection protecting this series and I fear that the slightest jostle will break it.

April 18

Kids on the Slope Ep. 1 Initial impression – significantly underwhelming http://wp.me/p1Gaby-le

Eureka Seven AO Ep. 1 Initial impression – more refreshing than expected http://wp.me/p1Gaby-li

April 20	Sankarea Ep. 3 The reactions Chihiro exhibits are priceless. The crescendo of emotions go from shock to despair and finally disbelief.
	Tsuritama Ep. 1 Initial impression – I want to like it but…eh… (5/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-ln

April 21	Tasogare Otome Ep. 2 This show has some very good wordplay. I also like how the ecchi moments are underwritten with Yuuko’s playful teasing.
	Acchi Kocchi Ep. 3 I think what’s making this series so awesome is the excellent balance of personalities throughout the diverse cast.
	Haiyore! Nyaruko-san Ep. 1 Initial impression – just…what? (2/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-lr
