Sakamichi no Apollon Episode 9

Huh…not bad…pretty much called everything with Yurika and Jun running off together (although not quite as simple as I expected). I wonder if their story is over or if they’ll be back in some way. Ritsuko falling for Kaoru again at the point where he is trying to push her towards Sentarou was pretty predictable too.

Kaoru and Ritsuko ending looks pretty imminent, especially after Ritsuko rejected Sentarou. It’s not like they’d try to reverse it again…….right? This is looking good…I’d have hated the triple friend zone ending I mentioned before. Still, it looks like they have to work out some drama first, so we’ll see how that ends up. The mittens signal the start.

Medaka Box Episode 10

Well…that was different. I guess the idea is to show the imperfection of Medaka by allowing her to fall to rage, but she’s still ridiculously overpowered. So she’s not completely idealistic…doesn’t really change the fact that no one can top her. Also, it makes me worry about what comes next.

Medaka was easily outclassing Unzen before, but her supposedly powered-up form has arrived. If so, then how one-sided is the next episode gonna be? If Unzen just gets face-smashed the whole time, it can’t possibly be that interesting. So I’m hoping there’s a twist in there somewhere.

If we assume that my theory of Unzen joining the student council is right, then it does sorta open up a possibly theory for next week. We’ve seen that Medaka loses her ideals in her new War God Mode, so she would theoretically refuse to save Unzen in any way. So if we assume that she has to save Unzen to recruit him, then something shuts off her transformation despite Zenkichi saying he has no control over it. Shot in the dark theory, but I guess it’s plausible.
