Anime of the Week (10/21 – 10/27)

Anime of the Week – Jormungand: Perfect Order
	I always enjoy contemplating the dichotomy of doing things the right way or pursuing a methodology where the ends justify the means because both paths lead to the same goal—merely traveling different roads.

October 21	SAO Ep. 16 I can’t draw conclusions just from the opening, but it seems Kazuto may be sidelined from rescuing Asuna by other girls.
	Sukitte Ii na yo Ep. 1 Initial impression – wistful compassion (4/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-Af

October 22	Robotics;Notes Ep. 2 Ahiko may be motivational, but when her efforts are all wasted on the naysayers, it gets really boring really fast.
	Psycho-Pass Ep. 1 Initial impression – like Minority Report with an anime flair http://wp.me/p1Gaby-Aj
	Psycho-Pass Ep. 2 Hubris is one of my flaws, but given my accomplishments and level head, I think I’d do well in this anime’s setting.
	Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo Ep. 1 Initial impression – could be fresh…could be stale…time will tell http://wp.me/p1Gaby-Av
	Sakurasou Ep. 2 I called it. Mashiro is not only a prodigy, she’s a celebrity. I wonder how this knowledge is going to affect Sorata.

October 23	Total Eclipse Ep. 16 I didn’t really think about it until now, but Yuuya changed into a more likeable character as his popularity increased.
	Little Busters Ep. 2 Sure enough, the signature characteristic of a Key anime is finding the strength to overcome your own weaknesses.
	Little Busters Ep. 3 I love this steady pace that sucks me in and lets me lose myself and relax in its refreshingly carefree atmosphere.
	Magi Ep. 1 Initial impression – not very sophisticated (5/10) http://wp.me/p1Gaby-AD
	Medaka Box Abnormal Ep. 1 Initial impression – mostly the same, but a little different http://wp.me/p1Gaby-AH

October 25	Sakurasou Ep. 3 Mashiro is one of those unusual characters that doesn’t just defy common sense, she transcends the notion of humanity.
	Chuunibyou Ep. 4 The cast is really coming together as Nibutani’s past is closer to the rest of the club than she would like to admit.
	Jormungand PO Ep. 2 All parties know a move made by any one of them is going to upset the balance. I’m more interested in their loyalties.

October 26

Jormungand PO Ep. 3 I love the path Renato chose. It’s a perfect blend of loyalties to both Koko and his nation without being halfhearted.

October 27	Psycho-Pass Ep. 3 As I learned at one of my first jobs, fresh eyes can give a new perspective on old habits, which Akane demonstrates.
	Panzer Ep. 3 I’m loving this series if only because I can identify strongly with Mako. I too am not a morning person and like to sleep.
	BTOOOM! Ep. 4 What is acceptable revenge? Standing up for yourself, an eye for an eye or send me to the hospital I send you to the morgue?
