Dungeon Meshi had a great finale. It feels so weird that it ended by itself while almost everything else had their penultimate episodes or set up their last acts. Precure still going strong and demons still has just began. So this week was just really strange as a result, but it's a strangeness I welcome.

Train to the End of the World Episode 11
This was a pretty crazy episode in a good way. I loved how Shizuru slammed the accelerator as they slammed into Ikebukuro. Their encounter with Yoka was also very quick with 7g damaging her memories and her powers went haywire as she started to remember more. Then more information came in from the science crew and the zombies showed up to help too as the girls met their match in martial arts fights before the 7g button was hit. Though Yoka and crew escaping on a train so it's a train chase now. Kind of amazing in it's own way.
Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf Episode 11
The dark, tension of this episode was Nora, Enek, the trader, Holo, and Lawrence made it through the forest with a lot of sheep to a town to smuggle gold. A lot of interesting moments with Nora and the dog Enek keeping an eye on Holo and the wolves coming in to attack and failing to get the sheep. The ending where Lawrence and Holo seemingly sacrificed themselves to the others to save the sheep from wolves. Then Holo dealing with the wolves and Lawrence just being betrayed. It was so much even though we know what is going to happen. But holy crap.
Urusei Yatsura (2022) Season 2 Episode 23
This show continues to be really amazing in only the way Urusei Yatsura can be as it ends. You know, with the tension of Lum and Ataru being split amongst the darkness from their so called pairs Nayuta with Ataru for now and Lum with Rapu for now. Also, the Earth is going to be destroyed by mushrooms unless Ataru tells Lum he loves her. I'm missing so many funny character things and a good meeting of foundational things, but there is a lot of good fantasy and sci fi things in and amazing way.
Delicious in Dungeon Episode 24 (Seasonal Finale)
A great season finale. It was pretty cool seeing the gang ponder a bit more of themselves when each character was a different race. Plus, the crew actually working together again then using the changing mushrooms to eat some interesting dumplings was pretty fun. Same with the influence of bacon with the plan of eating Falin to return her back to normal. Holy crap, this show is incredible. I'm so glad there is going to be another season.
Wonderful Precure Episode 20
This episode was great. Just a great way to see how Yuki and Mayu get into the full Precure game. Mayu knows about Niko Niko Garden, but it was interesting to see the convincing Yuki to get into it and then help when with getting Garugaru. So it's a pretty good Mayu and Yuki episode again and seeing both of them synergize together. Just what Iroha and Komugi jump into it a bit more, but I'm sure it'll connect into something a bit more as we move on.
BARTENDER: Glass of God Episode 11
A very big, sentimental episode. On one part, it's time for Sasakura and Kitakata to see their teacher serve drinks at his bar for the last time before passing away. That allowed us to see more of where Sasakura got his training. There was also the search for the drink that was supposed to unite Miwa's Dad and grandfather after arguing over the hotel vs inn business. Such a wonderfully emotional episode. Bartender looks like it's going to end on a high note.
Laid-back Camp: Season 3 Episode 11
The camp is tomorrow for them, but the emotions happened today. Chiaki and Aoi did meet up last episode and we learn how. Aoi has a new bike that allows her to zoom, zoom which is how she met with Chiaki. Of course, the two hanged out for a while because the bikes tire went flat. On the other end, Rin was having a great time hanging out with Nadeshiko and her sister and being nostalgic. As usual, the episode was a good time.
Astro Note Episode 11
Great episode to encapsulate the entire story. For instance, the key was found right? It's huge, but it's there. My favorite part was Shoin being a complete faker from working with Hubby and sending his monsters to look for the key to him being at weak. There was some apartment drama with Ren being outed and then Mira and Takumi confessed their love and then the apartment complex turned into a giant robot after the key was turned. Also, Shoin is out there to attack the Earth. It exploded so quickly. Love all of it.
The Fable Episode 11
Very heavy action episode. A lot of really good set up too as Kojima and the other Yakuza start plotting how the are going to meet each other. All of this for Misaki giving some of her life away. Sato also put in a lot of work to prepare his non-lethal way of rescuing Misaki. The two Yakuza met with their deathly encounter present and Sato rescued her. The episode is great and provides a lot of questions over the powder keg that is about to explode.
Jellyfish Can't Swim At Night Episode 11
I'm glad that Mahiru was a focus character again and it's about her friendship with Kiui. Mahiru finding her passion for art while working for Kano's mom who wanted her to just follow corrections and that's it. Kiui was also hit to the point where she had to explode and explain herself offline in front of tons of people about how she never fit the normal aspects of Japanese society. Some people say trans, but feels non binary to me but it doesn't matter does it? Honestly, good for both of them for breaking out of society and Kano's mom for not being completely horrible. So really great episode. I hope Kano and Mahiru make up.
Sound Euphonium Season 3 Episode 11
Very interesting episode as an in-between because there is so many layers to it. From the scene with Kitauji making it to nationals after getting gold to another encounter with Mayu vs Kumiko and Kumiko more determined then ever before to Kumiko deciding music school isn't for her. Akane was right about what Mayu is doing and it's going to be interesting to see how Kumiko reacts responds to Mayu in the future.
To me, the rest of the episode was more interesting. I think the conversation between Kumiko and Taki-Sensei about how weird highschool band is and Taki opening up was great. Also, the entire conversation between Reina and Kumiko after seeing Mizore performing at her school with senpais was great. Reina may be going to America, but Kumiko really changed Reina by breaking out of her usual close to self mold. Also, Reina actually apologized. So many interesting layers in this episode that makes it great.
Kaiju No. 8 Episode 10
Oh my goodness, this episode was the ultimate pressure vessel for Kafka. Especially since Kaiju no 10 made the entire Japanese Defense, mainly Hoshina and Mashiro, be pushed to the limit but they did defeat him. Though the bomb exploding to kill everyone did lead Kafka to give himself up to save everyone. Non readers must be really intrigued what is going to happen now because it breaks up the classic Superman formula.
Dead Dead Demons Dedede Destruction Episode 3
Another episode that furthers so many things. Such a massive line separating Japan's government funding more weapons to fight against the aliens. There is even a little student reunion in of the companies about how involved even a pr person is. Also, discussion between Miho and her so called boyfriend where Kiho is the very surface leveled person while her boyfriend is worried about what is going on. There is an alien invader amongst the people. Very wonderful episode that I'm missing so many things on. I really enjoyed it though. I'm so happy this exists.
