Witch Watch E08, 2nd part.

Okay I’ve seen Violet Evergarden episode 10 mentioned way too often in this post, so I’m obligated to blame you all for being currently sobbing uncontrollably

Re:zero S01E15 is the most memorable one

Little Witch Academia ep. 8.

Last few episodes of Sonny Boy. I didn’t know I could cry that much. Grimgar of fantasy and ash got me as well.

Too many to name to be honest.

• Violet Evergarden ep 10 (Ann)
• Aria the Animation ep 6 (Athena introduction)
• Aria the Natural ep 10 (puppet master)
• Aria the Natural ep 15 (lunch)
• Aria the Origination ep 9 (Alice graduation)
• Kogepan ep 10 (being alive)
• Gochiusa?? ep 5 (Mocha comes to town and big moment for Chino)
• Gochiusa? Bloom ep 9 (Syaro and Chiya)
• K-ON!! ep 8 (flashbacks, music & tortoise themes, careers)
• Non Non Biyori, Lucky Star, Zetsubou sensei ep 1 (my favourite first episodes)
• A bunch of Gintama episodes like 188 (Madao asagao episode)

And with masterpiece I just mean whatever episodes come to mind that I like to rewatch on their own.

honourable mention: Aria the Crepuscolo (a short film so doesn’t count but it feels like a big Alice + Athena episode full of some of my favorite moments)

Surprising: I can’t think of a single Hidamari Sketch episode above the rest of them.

Paranoia Agent Episode 8-10

It breaks away from the main story and the next few episodes did the same. They were all almost self-contained short stories that didn't really move the plot forward but the tone of the main story set these episodes up to be some of the best episodes in TV anime I've seen so far.

I don't want to spoil the events but the focal characters for these episodes were particularly interesting. Especially episode 9 where it's just a bunch of gossiping aunties lol

Going through my list made me realise that I don’t have favourite episodes; I have favourite scenes 😅

Anyway, here are mine:

1. 86 Part 2 Episode 12 - You know which scene I’m referring to

2. Umamusume Season 2 Episode 13 - The greatest

of all time

3. Medalist Season 2 Episode 3 - Would have been my top sports scene if not for Umamusume

May not be considered masterpieces by most, but they are masterpieces to me:

1. Gundam SEED Episode 33 (of the remastered version) - Best

of all time

2. Sword Art Online Episode 9 - Most hype for its time

Too hard for me to rewatch, but I’d consider them masterpieces:

1. DanDaDan Episode 7 - You know which episode I’m talking about

2. +1 for Violet Evergarden Episode 10 - You know which episode I’m talking about

And of course

3. Oshi no Ko Episode 1

Notable exclusions for having too many standout episodes:

• Gundam: Witch from Mercury
• One Punch Man Season 1
• Frieren

Jujutsu Kaisen s2e4 occupies a special place in my heart.
