Kobato. 22! I'm glad that this show plays up its strengths when it needs to..ie. the fanservice and cross-overs. The whole 'healing' message is lost in the sloppy original stories. This episode's fanservice includes a flashback where the anime hints that chibi-Kobato had an extreme mullet like Fujimoto...or that Fujimoto is or once was her dad/brother/babysitter. Well, it explains where the mullet came from. Touya also shows up for 2 seconds which upgrades the whole show ten percent. It's also a little funny to think that Sayaka will now have a career being a yakuza's wife. Plus, the satanic bunny-fairy shows no mercy to Kobato & Ioryogi.

Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood 48! my favorite parts of the story right here-- plot-wise, action-wise, metaphoric-wise, visual-wise... Pride eats Gluttony to take on Ed and the people from Xing while Roy Mustang puts his plans into motion. I will enjoy the next part, too when the deadbeat dad redeems himself.
