Ann(e) Shirley has to learn to control her temper. After three eps Anne finally got an OP. And it comes complete with a flash-forward. That’s interesting in the context that as even I know, the source novels cover a not inconsiderable span of time. Does this mean Anne Shirley is going to skip far ahead …
Kuroshitsuji: Midori no Majo-hen – 03
It would be fair to say that my regard for Kuroshitsuji has grown over the years. Part of it is simply that the manga generally gets better as it progresses (it does). But it’s also the consistency and self-assuredness of it – you won’t find many series so confident and self-aware of their strengths. And …

The rapist dude was early in the episode and the lady waffled over her feelings and existential angst late. The trip thing was just …
