Ao no Hako (Blue Box) – 15
What an episode. And it needed to be. These were some of the most important chapters in the entire manga (and favorites of mine). It was crucial that the anime get them right, and it really did. We’re coming off a couple “times that try men’s souls” episodes for me and right into one of …
