xxxHOLiC 5! Watanuki is given a gift which is in turn given to a fox-boy. Food and alcohol are consumed. Clover-birds sing. Maybe this would be better if Yuuko did a bit of narration...like in Mushishi. It's hard to get into a story when all they say is that it's bad to go out during a full moon on Friday the 13th and play the word-game to protect yourself...without any other real moral/explanation. ah well. The fox-boy blushing was cute.

Ouran Koukou Host Club 5! The twins fight. Another enjoyable fluffy episode with a drop of angst and insight. Kaoru and Hikaru are exactly like all the other red-headed twins on the market. Twin-cest is all over those two.
Blood+ 26 & 27! I like Riku. I liked him ever since he tried to feed Haji barbeque at the beach party. That's when I liked Haji even more. Playing the cello at a beach party is quite the thing. I hope vampire Riku doesn't go insane and off himself. Riku and Haji can be the token hot vampire couple. Sure, Riku is only 12-ish...but Armand was around that age. All the show is missing is Lestat. In episode 27 Kai gets some spotlight as he makes friends with the bad guys who aren't really bad. Diva makes a move. cliffhanger...

Nana 5! Nobu and Yassan are pretty decent characters. Oosaki Nana is also interesting when she isn't mooning over Ren...so only 10% of the time, she is likable.
Good Witch of the West Astrea Testament 2! Not quite the type of show I thought it was going to be. Can't really watch Firiel Dee be so dumb anymore. I am fond of Roux..ie Rumplestiltskin. Thought this was going to be a twisted fairytale, but it seems more the traditional type. ah well.
