Haruka invites everyone on an onsen trip. Impressions: I thought this episode was pretty good. It wasn’t anything special, as there are plenty of onsen episodes in anime, but this episode was just fun. I thought it was an interesting way to end off the series, by having this kind of fun episode after the big conflict [...]

「約束です♪」 (Yakusoku Desu ♪) "It's a Promise ♪" Two seasons and 24 episodes later, we find ourselves at the end of the second run of Nogizaka Haruka. Things are left pretty open-ended for a possible third season, but whether or not we'll get one is anyone's guess. Here, the story concludes with a Nogizaka-funded trip to the hot springs, where Yuuto finds himself stranded out in a snowstorm with Haruka.

Had to settle with subtitled episodes because I guess the raws were so randy all the streaming sites removed them before I even got home! Not that I’m surprised So basically 12 minutes and 59 seconds in suddenly there’s a major snowstorm and Haruka is missing. My immediate response to JP (who is watching [...]

With Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu - Purezza reaching its climax here, there's only one thing left for this series to provide.... A hot springs episode! Wait, what did you think I was going to say?For some reason, I thought this series had already had a hot spring episode (they all tend to blend together in your head after a while), but apparently not, and so this instalment sees basically the

The grand finale!!! The greatest gift of all comes from your heart and it doesn’t measures up on how much it costs, or how fabulous it is. That should teach Shute a lesson. No matter how luxurious his gifts are to his ‘fair Fraülein” Haruka, Yuuto’s gift from his heart: a Clumsy Aki figure, still wins [...]

Despite its almost half-hearted attempt to build up some love rivalry for Haruka in this series, in reality we knew exactly where this series was headed from a couple of episodes in, making this twelfth and final instalment all but a formality. While this probably wasn't a good episode for me to watch with just a few weeks to go until my own birthday, as it's given me way too many outlandish

My coverage of this series obviously dropped a couple of weeks ago. Due to a combination of the plot sucking, a new job, and me being slightly burnt out from doing Geass (this show gets released the day of or the next day after geass it seems) made me not cover a couple of [...]

Well, I obviously had to make a double post because I wanted to get this series done with before it would be considered “too late”. Also, I told myself that I had to get this post done before I can watch the last episode of Code Geass, so I’m pretty excited to just go and [...]

Final episode! It pretty much ends with a happy ending so no point summarizing. Highlight of the episode was Yuto and Haruka almost going straight for the home run, if they weren’t careless and forgot to lock the damn doors again (or do those doors never have locks in the first place?!). That part sure [...]
