Need to Catch Up? Tegami Bachi episode 1 Tegami Bachi episode 2 Tegami Bachi episode 3 Tegami Bachi episode 4   Today's Episode Mmm, so when we left off last week we had just met Niche and added her to our little party, along with her "pet" Steak (bwahaha). I love Niche; she's badass, but also incredibly cute in design, and I dig the no-BS attitude. What do you guys think of her?    And what do you think of Lag these days? He's certainly grown up to be kind of a nicey-nice pushover, eh? He'll have to toughen up a bit, I expect. Let's see how he fares this week!   <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/swflash.cab" height="480" width="720"> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"> </param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"> </param> <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> </param> <param name="quality" value="high"> </param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.crunchyroll.com/swf/StandardVideoPlayer.swf"> </param> <param name="flashvars" value="config_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchyroll.com%2Fxml%2F%3Freq%3DRpcApiVideoPlayer_GetStandardConfig%26media_id%3D535062%26video_type%3D0%26auto_play%3D0%26aff%3Daf-78579-fkru"> <embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" quality="high" src="http://www.crunchyroll.com/swf/StandardVideoPlayer.swf" flashvars="config_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.crunchyroll.com%2Fxml%2F%3Freq%3DRpcApiVideoPlayer_GetStandardConfig%26media_id%3D535062%26video_type%3D0%26auto_play%3D0%26aff%3Daf-78579-fkru" height="480" width="720"> </embed> </param> </object>

So, hey, Niche’s name is actually a decent foreshadowing of the direction she and Lag are going in right now. Who would have thought? Lag is trying his damnedest to get on the path of the Letter Bee, but interestingly, Niche has also thrown herself completely into the role of Lag’s dingo. She is not just [...]

There they meet Nelli, who guides them to an inn to stay the night, and volunteers to take Lag's bag up to his room, but then suddenly disappears.

While I’m always the person trying to defend the latest season of anime as not being a pile of hopeless moe crap, this season has been a bit of a disappointment. I’ve ended up cutting my list down to only watching 4 anime from the Autumn season. Thankfully the upcoming Winter season looks pretty cool [...]

「行き止りの町」 (Ikidomari no Machi) "Dead-End Town" Things spurred on with a new character's personal aspirations to go to Yuusari, but the fight over Lag's crossing permit was enough to warrant a multi-episode continuation. Better yet, Niche was cute as hell this week. Queue Ryuuguu Rena's "Hau! Omochikaerii~!"

This episode was actually pretty good. It’s still the kind of drama we’re used to from this series: simple and emotional, and on top of that this episode simply showed the story of a random person who happened to cross Lag’s path at an unfortunate time. However, the way in which letter Bee sets itself [...]
