The ending to Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio: Ars Nova was wild, but actually worked for me, strangely enough. After putting my two cents in over the differences between the anime and manga, I found that the anime’s tale was woven in a way that actually ended up being very good on its own, and still set it up for another season should it choose to do so.

BALLS OF STEEL!
I wasn’t going to probably write about this week’s Arpeggio, but after making my blogging rounds and reading ol’ Jinx’s reaction to the tenth episode, well I can’t just ignore my civic duty to WORDSWORDSWORDS into this husk of the internet? Right?
Actually I happen to have the next five days off from work so I am procrastinating going to sleep.

Approaching the Christmas season, I have to deal with three major things each year:
Of course this means my time allocated towards chinese cartoons and other such tomfoolery will be limited, but I hope to ride out the end of this season’s shows with minimal fanfare. But I may release some reviews early before the show ends. Hell, I could release them right now really. I doubt there will be a TWIST.
Anyway, here are a few highlights of what I found relevant this week.

It’s been quite a while since I last wrote, and part of that is because I had better (read nothing) things to do, but also because this season frankly did not grab me by the horns as rough as I thought it might. Many of the shows started strong, but fizzled out halfway through and just left me kind of watching when I got around to it. I’ve even fallen behind on episodes of some shows, like Coppelion and Golden Time, because they would fall to the bottom of the priority list.
So for this week, we’re going to rank-and-file my watch list this season and I’ll throw out a bit about what I think, even if I am not on the current episode.
