Imouto Sae Ireba Ii volume 12 available:

In English it's called 'A Sister's all you need,' but that isn't really accurate.  Imouto means little sister, a little sister is all you need, big sisters need not apply.  In any case the 12th volume is now translated into English, and can be found at nyaa.si as well as legitimate venues.  I haven't had much to do since finishing the No Game No Life volume so this is welcome.

I've finished rewatching Yuuki Yuuna S3.  The season is all over the place, jumping between characters and time periods, never making any sense.  Nevertheless the primal emotions it brings out are unmatched.  The series left me on the brink of tears for practically half its airtime.  The girls are screaming so pure heartedly that you can't help but empathize.  This is definitely a great season of a great anime, however disjointed and odd it was to have been made.

My pledge to rewatch all great anime continues to be fulfilled apace.

On the Fire Emblem front I finished the hardest arc, Azure Moon, on the hardest difficulty level, 'maddening classic.'  I beat all the paralogues, recruited all the characters, etc., while not allowing a single death to the very end.  Edelgard was tough but Dimitri pulled through with a lucky crest of Blaidydd activation.  I'm now proceeding forward into the Verdant Wind arc in a desultory fashion.  I lack motivation because it's all stuff I've seen and done before.  There's precious little new content left after this many playthroughs (though there are some support skits I can only unlock now with this playthrough, so it's not all old.)  I'll finish it eventually, though, sooner or later.  For now this new volume take precedence.
