Conclusion – “Adieu, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye”
It is with a heavy heart that I must take my leave from Random Curiosity, the home to all of my musings, ramblings, and essays for nearly a year and a half now. Back in the olden days of fall 2011 when my blogging career here first began, I was nervous as all hell. Worries about what people would think of my writing raced through my mind as I began watching that first episode. Yet with every word, every paragraph, and every post, I discovered that although my vocabulary may not be as expansive and my sentence structure not as eloquent as some of the other writers, I still loved to write.
In every post, I hoped to have a thesis that would help readers see an episode in a different light and more importantly, appreciate it in a different way. This was my philosophy behind writing for Random Curiosity, and now that my time here is over, I hope that I have been able to accomplish this goal once in a while so that my time and yours have not been spent in vain. Even on the days when an unfinished post seemed to stare at me for hours on end, my fingers would continue their staccato rhythm and my mind kept searching for an episode’s common thread – all because I wanted to present my best work to the readers.
I cannot express enough of my gratitude that you, the readers, have actually read and even liked my thousand-word plus essays, and I especially cherish the wonderful comments you’ve left that have helped me realize what my strengths as a writer are, what my voice is. Without you, I would not have become half the writer I am today, and I will be appreciative of that for the rest of my life. In a way, I consider you all my friends, bound together by a shared love for anime and for writing. Our friendship is also why I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for all my faults. Each week I am constantly reminded that I am one of the slowest writers on Random Curiosity, and I am very sorry for all the delays. It was only so that I could bring the readers a post that lived up to my philosophy and wouldn’t let the readers down. My apologies that I will not be able to finish my coverage of PSYCHO-PASS, and that I left Hyouka without the closure such a noteworthy series deserved. I will try to continue writing about anime on a weekly or bimonthly basis to keep honing my writing skills, but on one of the writers’ blogs instead, which you can also find through my Twitter since Random Curiosity is probably not an appropriate place to link it outright.
TL;DR – I will no longer be writing at Random Curiosity, but I will forever be thankful to the readers who read my essays, left great comments, and above all, helped me become a better writer.

It saddens me to see this, it really does. You’ve been a great asset to the site, and I’m really sad to see you go. Your posts really stood out, and you’ve truly left a mark here with your writing style. I will really miss you here on RC, I really will.
I’m glad you’re going to keep sharing your amazing writing with us, and it makes me insanely happy to have you on my personal blog. I really look forward to calling you my co-worker again!
As for your time at RC, thank you for everything. You will truly be missed here, both as a writer, and as a very dear colleague of mine. Thank you for everything you’ve done on and for this site!

Thanks for Persona 4 and Fate/Zero! Especially for the tidbits for people like me who haven’t played the game. I think it’s safe to say those two shows were quite the ride.
I think this is fitting.

As his name implies..Perhaps the grass is greener somewhere on the other side? I kid.
“Real-life priorities” and “Burnout” are two very dangerous words when it comes to blogging on a consistent basis and I don’t think anyone should be surprised that as time passes, things around us change, and eventually there comes a time where we have to move on to another stage of life.
I’ll just echo the same sentiment – Thanks for the countless hours and nights spent writing out these philosophical, if not lengthy posts (*cough* Nisemono, F/Z, PP) Not only that, the extra effort taken to spearhead and organize the podcast, we (or at least some of us) will miss your sexy (<_<) voice.
Hope to see you still hanging around, be it here or on IRC..Maybe become Divine v.2 ya know?

Divine is actually the server himself.
Server needs to be at 20°C/68°F to be normally functioning.
That’s why he doesn’t blog or the server himself will over heat.

:O I’m sad you decided to do this right after your incredibly deep and well written post on Psycho Pass episode 13( I especially loved the references to Heart of Darkness). It was by far one of the best posts I’ve ever seen on RC. Best of luck to you good sir!

When Divine is around back to few years back, Random Curiosity seems to have atmosphere where you are compelled to watch those animes not because you are forced to, but it just honour and pride to be able to finish many series in a season. It is somewhat like religion…xD
Verdant, have a great life and I like your posts actually. Thank you for covering Fate/Zero and the others. I like the style of your writing and the way screenshots were chosen.

Good luck in your future endeavors, Verdant. Thanks for your tireless dedication to all of your posts. I had always looked forward to reading your posts, as I enjoyed reading your profound perspective on each episode and the thought-provoking questions/ideas that you raised to bring a lot of quality discussions to the comment sections here.
Time and again, you’ve blamed yourself for being slow, but the quality of your posts were well worth it to read, even if they weren’t posted within a day or two. I will miss reading your posts, as you were one of my favorite writers at Random Curiosity. Your beautiful prose oftentimes made me quite jealous as a fellow writer lol.
As for Hyouka, thank you once again for picking this up during Takaii’s absence. Even if you did not provide a proper closure, I was glad you picked up this series and I really enjoyed reading your posts for this series especially during the Kanya Festival arc. I’ll honestly admit that I was a bit sad by the lack of posts for its remaining 3 episodes, and I sincerely hope that it wasn’t the pressures of this conflict that has prodded you into resigning as a writer here.
Once again, I wish you the best, and I look forward to reading your impressions on a different blog. :)

Thank you for all of your kind words, Isabel. I’m very happy to hear that you appreciate my work and that you looked forward to reading my posts. I also remember your comments, since they have been very inspiring and helped me remember what kind of writing I wanted to give to readers like you.
I’m glad you thought my posts’ quality was worth the extra time it took, that means a great deal to me, probably more than you will ever know. I’m really flattered that I am one of your favorite writers as well, and I know I will miss being read by you. Please don’t be jealous of my prose, as what I’ve seen of yours in the comments is nothing to be ashamed of!
Yeah, I very much regret being unable to finish covering Hyouka in a timely manner, as I wanted to give proper justice to one of my favorite series of the year. It’s a show rich in meaning and complexity, so much so that I felt it deserved posts that would fully explore the common thread of each episode, but unfortunately I might have been too ambitious.
Thank you again for reading my posts, for your comments, and especially your kind words that I shall never forget.

Good bye Sir may life brings you lots of fortune and joy.
Just one more thing that I never understand is: why writes worry about getting the post “on time”? The way I see it is that the posts are a free and a gift to us. So why the readers dictate when and how a post needs to be?! The post is ready when is ready. If you don’t like it go to another place. I mean these writes give their hearts out to readers for free. Why harass them with nitty complains when they never get paid for it! I remember when Divine was busting his health writing 20+ shows alone and people will complain for not on time, not enough caps, too short, too long,not enough whatever. Just appreciate what you got if you can do it better create your own site and tell us what it feels to be on the receiving end.

Thank you for your posts Verdant. I have been following RandomC for many years and in my view you were a wonderful writer. Your analysis on Fate Zero and Hyouka was really enjoyable and i believe they helped me broaden my way of watching and appreciating anime as a fan. I’m sorry to see that you left RandomC and many followers such as me but i wish you well and hope you’ll never give up on writing. ( sorry if my phrasing may sounds weird, i do believe that i use english fairly well but it’s not my native language and i don’t use it on a daily basis.. )
