Overview:A request for Zenos to treat Lord Fennel’s daughter becomes complicated by her haughty attitude. Our Take:This episode was interesting, but it didn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. I’m sure that Zenos is trying to keep a low profile, but it seemed like this noble’s ailment could have been solved easily by him. That’s the problem with establishing a main character as overpowered; when they don’t use their powers, any sort of conflict feels artificially manufactured.

Overview: The Manga Club needs an advisor, or else Okumura and Ririsa will lose their clubroom! The new teacher could help, especially since she seems very familiar…Our Take:I was watching the opening to this show today, and I saw something that I can no longer unsee. There’s a clip where Ririsa is cosplaying as Liliel, and we get a close-up shot of her ankles. They look so off and weird, but I thought maybe it was a problem with the opening.

Overview: Grace, also known as Kenzaburo, goes incognito to visit the bakery that Anna’s family runs, but Anna’s mother quickly deduces Grace’s identity. Our Take:If you’re a man who’s been reincarnated into a girl’s body and you wear male clothes, does that still count as cross-dressing? Anna and everyone want Grace to do it because they think she would be a dashing cross-dresser.

Overview:Preparing for Narufest proves to be a challenging task. Will teamwork be what gets everyone to the finish line? Our Take(Spoilers):I’ll get the minor silly things out of the way first. Koichi is pretending to be Pop-Step’s manager to be her emotional support for the event. She might be regretting that choice now because Koichi can’t seem to keep his foot out of his mouth.

Overview:The young Liu Yuwei enters the top 10 rankings as the hero Queen and is on her way to becoming a top hero. Our Take:I was hopeful that the new arc would follow Queen, and it seems like that will be the case. One thing I’m not the biggest fan of so far, but say what you will, it’s at least realistic in a sense. That is the fact that two big-name female heroes are (seemingly) being pitted against each other.

Overview:The villagers madly pursue Sullivan, resulting in a fierce battle between them and the Phantomhive servants. Our Take:If every episode was like this one then Black Butler would be one of my favorite anime. As I’ve said before, the public school arc was the first time I’ve watched Black Butler. So, I had no idea that the Phantomhive servants were quite so badass. Finn I knew was a superhuman of sorts but Baldroy and Mey-Rin I wasn’t aware were quite so awesome.

Overview:Belle learns her past and the world’s, but can it give her the answers she’s been seeking? Our Take:Okay… I think I’m starting to understand, maybe? If I understand it correctly, the “planet” they’re currently on used to be our moon. It also seemed like there were animatrons like you find at a theme park that went on to become the animal like people that populate the moon?

Overview:Maomao is taken to a mountain stronghold, where many of the secrets of the Shi clan are revealed to her. Our Take(Spoilers):I do so much research for these shows that I sometimes accidentally spoil myself on things. So imagine my surprise when I saw my jaw drop when it was revealed that Shisui is the pure consort, Loulan. I love a good noble in hiding trope, but I feel like I usually do a decent job of picking them out, but in this case, I was floored by what transpired.

Overview:Kai and Nada fight for their lives while Lag Village defends itself from another macaque attack. Our Take:This is the first time I’ve sat and watched the ending to this show and maybe if I had before I wouldn’t be saying all this “maybe it’s an isekai”. It’s definitely an isekai because they show Kai in a modern day setting wearing modern day clothing. Now, I don’t know why it gets shown with so much relevance if it’s not going to affect the story.

Overview:Zenos’ gets an invite to the Goldran Laboratory, and a chance to track down Becker’s missing student. Our Take:Zeno or Zenos, whatever you want to call him, has made some decent progress into his investigation. Goldran is one of the top healers in the school and is the most likely candidate to take over as leader of the shool when the current head retires. Zenos joins the students of the labratory on an trip that Goldran takes to heal someone.
