I have a stack of more season-end reviews, a couple for shows that actually ended, and a couple that I think are safe to review now based on their second-to-last episodes airing this week. Overall, I actually am impressed with how this season ended, it kind of stalled midway and sort of had me not paying attention to it, but many shows pulled out the stops for their final episodes and it paid off.

One new first look, Gin no Saji, which started last week and I’m a week late on, and a handful of currently airing mentions on some of the cream-of-the-crop entries this week.

Also premiering earlier in the week was Inu to Hasami wa Tsukaiyou, and I also nabbed and watched Kitakubu Katsudou Kiroku, Servant x Service, and Stella Jogakuin Koutouka C3-bu, so let’s get some fun started.
