Mid-season episodes are always good.

Darker than Black 11-14! Sorta forgot about this show, but then I saw the C.C. wannabe and more Pizza Hut references on other blogs and felt the need to watch it again. I'm betting this show will end up on the Cartoon Network. Pizza Hut not only supports Code Geass and DtB, it looks like it'll show up on a magical girls show, Precure 5, too. Right now, there's a special DtB wallpaper on the homepage. Japanese pizza hut pizzas look more disgusting than Wendy's new Baconator.

More mid-season episodes

Seirei no Moribito 14! randomly reminded of Star Wars in the beginning..probably 'cause the old woman reminds me of Yoda. Anyway, Balsa and the other good guys learn of the true nature of the egg inside Chagum and that guy in the court also reads up on the truth. So now we've got the characters who will want the truth out in the open against those who will want to conceal it. The question is not who will win, but will Chagum lay the egg out his butt? Good episode.

Romeo x Juliet 14! Romeo is put in charge of the mines as punishment for letting Juliet go. His evil father is pretty tame against his family. Juliet and the others leave town to regroup. There's a a funny part where Romeo says 'Don't diss my mother' or something like that. Anyway, this episode reeks of bad writing. Hope they are saving up for some quality Tree parts or Tybalt action.

Chika Umino's new manga, The Lion of March, has a CM. I recall someone saying it is in the same universe as Hachikuro? Anyway, it's about shogi and features a child-like girl...who is probably 20 or so like Hagu and a normal-looking guy with geek glasses.

And HMC's new PV, Dreams, is dull, but the song is nice. It's the new ending for DtB.
