It’s that time of the year again, time for the final season schedule of 2012. It’s been a good year, full of grand changes for RandomC and fun anime for all involved…but I’ll save the reminiscing for the the year end post. For now, here’s what we’re planning on covering this time!

As with previous seasons, this is a tentative overview of RandomC’s plans for the new season. We’ll also be doing introductory posts about many of the shows we’re not covering, so if something catches one of our eyes, things will be shifted around to accommodate. The schedule will be updated to reflect any changes.

…more after the jump.

My Way or the Anime

My Way or the Anime – All Good Stories Must Come to an End

Not the post we deserve, but the one we need.

I write this after having finally seen The Dark Knight Rises, over a month and a half after its release. Yeah, I’m weird like that. Yet, as good stories are apt to do, it has put me in a writing mood, so it’s time to get these thoughts down before they melt away. This is a post I’ve been meaning to write for some time, and I’ve saved its release until the end of this season because that’s the only time it could come out. This is a time of endings, along with a few not-so-endings, and that’s exactly what I want to talk about. Here is my not-so-controversial (but frequently ignored) thesis:

All good stories must come to an end.

Though this is a post about endings, there are surprisingly few spoilers ahead. More after the jump.

First Impressions / Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon

Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II – 12

「居場所の刃傷持ち」 (Ibasho no Ninjou Mochi)
“Where the One Scarred by Swords Belongs”

The action this episode continued to be fast-paced and exciting, and there were two times where a chill ran up my spine that said “yeah…you’re watching something special.” Heroism, pride, sacrifice, loyalty, and love – emotions abound in this penultimate episode of Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II.
