Man, the nostalgia; I was obsessed with Bleach in those days. For me it's either Velonica or Ranbu no Melody, but I'm leaning towards the latter.

Sword of the Demon Hunter comes out of nowhere to top the chart on AC this week.

It was a pretty good episode both in content and visual direction.

I have been more than satisfied this season

Same.

Osanai destroying Urino was brutal and, I must add, quite satisfying. I can't stop laughing.

~~Collecting wives~~ befriending other witches is more important than collecting teardrops that can save your life. Meg knows her priorities.

Or Osanai has been influencing him too

I've also thought about this possibility, but it weirds me out that Urino became so bold with Osanai right after Hiya told him to be assertive with her. Before their conversation Urino was intuitively cautious enough to not overstep her boundaries.

Sometimes I think Hiya's too suspicious to be such an obvious suspect, which is kind of suspicious in itself. Maybe not all of the arson cases were done by the same person. The first fires could have been a coincidence used as a cover-up to burn the van, and it would be easier to find some kind of pattern between just a few cases and deem it serial arson, like Urino did. Or someone tested the waters with those fires, Urino took the bait, and they decided it was safe to burn the van so no one thinks it was the initial target. Anyway, I hope Kobato solves the case soon enough, so my brain stops with all these theories.

2 minutes and 30 seconds recap just after two episodes is an interesting choice, though I had an impression that in this case it was necessary for the story's progression. I don't mind it, since I've been enjoying this season a lot, but I hope recaps won't become a frequent occasion.

Ciel reliving his trauma was painful to watch. The contrast with the previous light-hearted episode is shocking, but not surprising, as we've already seen the signs of something ominous creeping in. I love how masterfully Kuroshitsuji oscillates between humorous and tragic moments.

The tension of this episode had me on the edge of my seat. I felt sorry for Urino first, he's definitely being played, but he became so full of himself that I actually want Osanai to crush him. This time she gives off strong Moriarty vibes right from the start, though I still think the one responsible for those fires is Hiya. I doubt he's innocent. After all, he's the one who led Urino to this case and encouraged him throughout.

Opening and ending themes were worth the wait.

My personal favourite is Yotsuiro Biyori. It was such a delight to watch. I also enjoyed Kakuriyo a lot, glad it's getting season 2 this fall.

Very much enjoyed the comedic direction of this episode, from cutting Kazamatsuri's scream to the whole dinner table scene. Looking forward to all the roundabout ways Kageyama finds to call Reiko a moron.

The pool looks lovely:

Title drop:

They may have zero deduction skills but at least they are capable of catching the culprit. @rikka@ani.social

We're finally meeting new witches and learning more about the world and its magic.

Although Meg has given up on collecting the teardrops of joy, the Witch of ~~Stinky Feet~~ Wisdom helped her get her monstrous positivity back, so the upcoming Otherworld Festival may present a chance to gather more teardrops at once.
