Granbelm – Ep. 6
This is the first episode where “Granbelm” really grabbed my attention.
Granbelm – Ep. 7
To my surprise, the feud between Shingetsu and Anna pays off big time.
Granbelm – Ep. 10
I could never look at Mangetsu the same way again.
Granbelm – Ep. 2
Rewatching this episode and knowing where Mangetsu’s arc goes, things hit a lot more differently for me.
Granbelm – Ep. 4
Mangetsu does seem to be very chummy with Shingetsu.
Granbelm – Ep. 5
Yes, Mangetsu. That is the name of this show.
Granbelm – Ep. 1
The least relevant anime for me to blog about.
Granbelm – Ep. 3
Who is the one supporting and who is the one who is supported?
Granbelm – Ep. 8
Should be smooth sailing from here on out…right?
Granbelm – Ep. 3
It can be a little tricky keeping track of everyone in these early episodes.
Granbelm – Ep. 2
Rewatching this episode and knowing where Mangetsu’s arc ultimately goes, things hit differently for me.
Granbelm – Ep. 11
I admit to bawling my eyes out over this episode.
Granbelm – Ep. 9
That’s quite the 3D chess move there.
Granbelm – Ep. 12
The final fight could’ve gone in two ways and both are equally viable paths for the story to go with.

Truth be told, I really regret not covering “Granbelm” when it aired.
