Rewatching this episode and knowing where Mangetsu’s arc ultimately goes, things hit differently for me.
Granbelm – Ep. 4
Mangetsu does seem to be very chummy with Shingetsu.
Granbelm – Ep. 1
Truth be told, I really regret not covering “Granbelm” when it aired.

Granbelm – Ep. 10
I could never look at Mangetsu the same way again.
Granbelm – Ep. 6
This is the first episode where “Granbelm” really grabbed my attention.

The least relevant anime for me to blog about.
