Ouran High School Host Club up to 23
#23 was my favourite episode in a long, long while. Bossa Nova's "confession", if you can call it that, and its circumstances were a thing of beauty. Never underestimate the flames of moe indeed. Beyond that, the show's reaction faces was even on point then usual, especially with Tamaki. The latter in general had a wealth of great moments, from his usual despair that someone dares to hit on Haruhi, his peculiar imagination, to finally realising the feelings he harbors for Haruhi might be something else than "fatherly" affection. I guess this is finally the moment the drama the show has been slightly hinting and building to begins in earnest.
Boku no Hero Academia 11
The last few minutes was one of few times this series managed to rise itself above utter mediocrity and worse. Animation too seemed to be better than usual.
With dread, I'm starting to suspect that when people say that this show manages to handle its extended cast well they really mean: "There's always a bunch of plot irrelevant fights for these boring and irrelevant characters to appear in and battle a series of even less relevant mooks." I thank thee o great Kishi-sama for shoving Konoha 9 up my face, relatively sparingly from what I remember. Only now I'm beginning to appreciate your greatness in that regard.
Re: Zero 11
On okay denouement to this arc. The sudden jump into an extended flashback felt a bit jarring but the rest of episode justified it I guess. Though I've to say, I really liked it's first 2/3 but somehow my enthusiasm petered a bit over the last three episodes. Sill decent and I still have faith in the next arc.
