Fate/Zero S2E2: "Golden Shine" (continued)
It's one of the lesser known Arthurian legends; in some versions of the Second Siege of Camelot story Arthur could turn Excalibur into a lightsaber, but only as long as he kept both hands on the hilt. Nice bit of mythological accuracy here!


Fate/Zero S2E1: "The Battle of Mion River" (continued)
Resuming this absolutely deranged episode of Fate/Zero.




Centaurworld S1E2: "Fragile Things"
It's not quite as existentially horrifying as Bird's face, but it's close.



Texhnolyze S1E8: "Crucible"
Let's see how Lukuss survives this. Or, if it doesn't, at least how Ichise and Ran survive this.

Texhnolyze S1E7: "Plot"
One of the more chilling surprise villain reveals that I can readily recall.

ExoSquad S1E5: "Resist"
I've seen some other western media critic types complain about how much right-wing messaging there is in Japanese animation. I'm seriously looking side-eyed at those people right now.


ExoSquad S1E3: "Hidden Terrors" (continued)
"We have the wolf by the ears, and we can neither hold him, nor safely let him go. Justice is in one scale, and self-preservation in the other."

ExoSquad S1E3: "Hidden Terrors"
Maybe I was giving Zembacca too much credit for his ability to thwart the terran intelligence agencies. It evidently is a very difficult task to fail at.


ExoSquad S1E1: “Pirate Scourge”
There was a lot I liked here, and also quite a lot that I disliked.

Texhnolyze S1E6: “Repetition”
It really felt like there were some scenes missing in this episode. Moreso than even in the pilot. At this point I'm not sure at all of what's supposed to have happened, entirely.

Haibane Renmei E1: "Cocoon — Dream of Falling from the Sky — Old Home" (continued)
She might still be having some dysmorphia issues, but at least for not the conscious thrill of having angel wings is keeping it subdued.
