Isn't she cute?

Accel World Ep 7: As Haru and the bouncer named Aqua Current began their battle to challenge other opponents, Hime began to battle Taku at the same time. She asked him why risking fighting her, knowing he will lose. He explained a sense of guilt when Haru and Chi forgive him for betraying them earlier and want to end this life. Hime loathed at him and demanded to take a good look at himself and ordered him to think of how to live as a player to help Haru.

Silver Wing Rider Kick!!!

Haru defeated his opponents and gain levels but now Aqua informed him that he must fulfilled his part of the deal. She erased his memory of her as part of the deal, leaving Haru wondering what has just happen earlier. Later, Taku transfer to Haru's school as part of his deal with Hime to join her guild...

So Aqua Current is a mysterious player and with her abilities to mind wipe people leaving her as an Urban legend. But I got a feeling that Haru will met her again in the future, given that she is also part of the opening. Now with Taku joining them, Hime has another pawn in her quest. However an elementary girl met Haru and she is part of the Red Guild, seeking to trap Haru...

Rouna and Lufina look like they belong to a Hentai Anime...

Shining Hearts Ep 6: Our Heroes meet Rouna who is a maid of the Royal family. She requested for some breads being made by Rick as a request by her master, Lufina. After making the breads, they went to meet Lufina and her brother, Lagunas. Lagunas told them there is a series of break-in committed by the Black Tail Bandit in the castle and requested Rick for help.

Rick agreed and together with Neris and Rouna. They stalked the castle and confronted the Black Tail Bandit. In the confusion, Rick discovered that Xiao Mei is the Black Tail Bandit but did not tell anyone about it...

We are introduced to the Royal Family who are not as arrogant as what people claimed to be. Rouna is clumsy but yet she is very positive about herself. But why Xiao Mei broke into the castle? Rick confronted her in the next episode to find out about her motive...

Zombie Desu Ka S2 Ep 7: An accident with a cursed arftict switch Haruna and Eru's mana resulted Haruna unable to talk and Eru speaking normally. Later in the bone fire dance, Ayumu discovered that his homeroom teacher, Kurisu is actually Chris which everyone found out about it.

Cat Sera!

However Chris is actually a powerful masou shoujo who is cursed to live a normal human due to her arrogance. Her taste in liquor is the one thing that change her back for a short period of time. She trapped everyone in a magic trap which ejected anyone whose thoughts are improper. Ayumu tried to stop her but failed.

Before she left, Chris told him she like him as a drinking partner and hope they can have it again. Dai Sensei received the news of Chris and Kyoko want a bargaining deal in exchange of Chris's weakness...

This is a plot twist with Chris is actually their teacher and furthermore, she is Dai Sensei's master which make her even more dangerous for Ayumu and the others to stop her. But I don't think she is that bad as she spare every one's lives in the end and her concern for Ayumu might be the only thing that is keeping her humanity. But with Kyoko wanting a deal for her freedom, she could be even more dangerous than Chris...

Saki Side A Ep 7: Arata is next to battle Hiroko however she is unable to change the ranks and got dropped to the third place. Now Shizuno take on Ryuuka and the odds were against her in the beginning. But at the last minute, Shizuno was able to turn the tables and got back to the 2nd place and a place in the semi-finals.

After the battle, Akado advised them their next opponents is Shiraitodai High and their best player happened to be Saki's elder sister Teru who announced to the press that she will win the tournament. Later, the girls eavesdrop Akado talking to another coach of going pro and bringing the girls to the semi-finals could boost her chances. But then, Touyoko Momoya and Kanbara Satomi appeared in front of the girls...

Their next battle is Saki's sister, Teru and from what we heard from Saki in the main season, she is the only person Saki is unable to defeat. The girls has an uneasy moment when they heard Akado could be using them as a leverage to make her pro but now the girls are going to get a lesson from Momoya and many of the previous opponent that Saki's teams fought before...

Mysterious Girlfriend X Ep 7: Urabe is scouted by the relay team due to her natural speed but she refused the offer. However she is willing to participate the school sport day. Later Tsubaki got a cold which Oka give some tips to Urabe. She tried to help Tsubaki but in the end didn't do it. (Which she wore a bikini under her jacket) 

This is illegal!

The next day, Tsubaki got better and Urabe won the relay race. She later stick his name sticker from the locker on her legs claiming that her "legs" belong to him and enjoying being with him...

A cute episode with Urabe trying Oka's tips which she wore a binki to make Ueno better from his cold. But her modest didn't allow her to do which show how she respect herself. Although I didn't see how wearing binkini could heal sickness. But I like Urabe's thoughts that she enjoyed Tsubaki's company more than running a relay team which is sweet about it.

Hyouka Ep 5: Houtarou received a call from her sister claiming that Eru's uncle was a tragedy incident which he realised that his theory is incomplete. The next day, he brought everyone to talk to Itoigawa, the head librarian who wrote the article 45 years ago. From there, they learned that Eru's uncle was used as a scapegoat to boycott against the school's decisions to shorten the number of days in the festival.

Houtarou finally knew what are all the rabbits and wolves and the name of the book titled Hyouka. The rabbits are the students and the wolves are the teachers. He also figure out that Hyouka is a play of words which translate in English-Ice Cream or I Scream-An indication that Eru's uncle want to scream but was unable to.

Eru then recalled why she cried when her uncle told her about Hyouka. She was upset due to the uncle claiming the wolves "killed" him and unable to scream about it. A while later, the case was left to rest and Eru thank Houtarou for solving the mystery...

Well, that conclude the first chapter which is basically the Hyouka Arc. Houtarou now see the world a little more "colourful" rather than his usual grey look which is thanks to Eru and his friends for giving him a chance. Although I was curious who was the person who instigated Eru's uncle to become a scapegoat but it happen so long ago, I guess it was kinda of pointless in chasing the incident. They also have a play with words with Hyouka and also the Kan'ya Fair. Kan'ya Fair in Kanji words can also be pronounce as Sekitana which is Eru's uncle's first name and it is no brainier that Ice Cream can also pronounce as I Scream.

Anyway, the mystery is solved and in the next episode, the group get a new mystery to investigate, can't wait see more of it then!
