This Week: Sweet Blue Flowers (Aoi Hana)
In a word association game, I would have previously associated the idea of sweet blue flowers with a particular variety of Earl Grey tea mixed with cornflower and blue mallow petals.
Which is appropriate, given the flavor this shoujo ai series aims to have.

This Week: Ping Pong The Animation, The World is Still Beautiful, Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!!, Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara, and M3: The Dark Metal.
I watched a few other airing series in passing this holiday weekend so I’m not as swamped with everything I’m putting off at the end of the season!
I will throw in an extra comment only for M3: The Dark Metal though, given the lower attention that show receives around the internet.
One year and over a hundred posts later from the date of the first post, and this entire anime blog project of mine has yet to burst into flames. So that is pretty swell!
In the spirit of celebration then: Reflecting on Cool Stuff and eyes toward the future! Cake and drinks are in the kitchen!

This Week: Macross 7
Tomorrow marks one year of material dated to this anime blog. Except that means I technically have to do my proper anniversary post over the weekend, which meant I would still need to watch something to talk about for a normal Friday post beforehand.
The question then goes… what would I even watch or rewatch? Something in a genre I like sure, and ideally a work that could be taken as kind of celebratory in tone.
This sounded just about right .
This Week: Ping Pong The Animation, Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!!, and Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara.
You know, when I made a joke last week about my write-up lineup as a sports anime tournament, I did not actually know The World Is Still Beautiful had a production break coming up!
I guess this really is getting to feel like a series of knockout rounds.
Wherein I try to make my username and the title of this anime blog a bit more fashionable or design relevant than they usually are.

This Week: Glassy Ocean (Kujira no Chouyaku)
I want to reflect on something short but sweet from this week. I am working on a bigger plan for this time next Friday.
This Week: Ping Pong The Animation, The World is Still Beautiful, Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!!, and Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara.
If my write-ups this season were a sports anime tournament, Ping Pong would have served Matsutaro hard enough to make him do one of those Tasmanian Devil spin fits. Gaworare, meanwhile, would have taken The World is Still Beautiful to the mid-day lunch buffet and the latter would be so melodramatically overcome by the power of friendship and togetherness speech they would join the other team.
Can the plucky harem show that could beat back the ping pong powerhouses?
This Week: Urusei Yatsura: The Obstacle Course Swim Meet (Urusei Yatsura: Za Shougaibutsu Suieitaikai)
An alternative subtitle for this could be “How To Attempt A Reunion In An Incredibly Obtuse Fashion.”

This Week: Ping Pong The Animation, The World is Still Beautiful, Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro!!, and Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara.
Is it too late to make a May Day joke, as the schedule of these posts makes this the first one of its kind this month?
Well, we are almost halfway through the season, so the picture on how much of an emergency tailspin these productions may be in or not is getting ever clearer.
