Random Curiosity

「わがみよにふるながめせしまに」 (Waga Mi Yo ni Furu Nagame Seshi Ma ni)

It wasn’t what I hoped it’d be, but there’s never a bad time for more Chihayafuru.

「マルドゥック・スクランブル 第3部 排気」 (Marudukku Sukuranburu Dai 3 Bu Haiki)
“Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust”

With this, we bid a fond farewell to the Mardock Scramble trilogy. It wasn’t quite Ghost in the Shell, but I loved it nonetheless.

「廃墟船団」 (Haikyo Sendan)
“Abandoned Fleet”

A look into Ridget’s past brings us back to the Gargantia, and it’s a welcome return to say the least.

「劇場版 とある魔術の禁書目録 エンデュミオーンの奇蹟」 (Gekijouban To Aru Majutsu No Kinsho Mokuroku Endyumion Mo Kiseki)
“To Aru Majutsu no Index Movie – Endymion no Kiseki”

Touma brings his misfortune to the big screen, and while it didn’t quite hit all the right marks, it was a darn wild ride nonetheless.

「劇場版 青の祓魔師」 (Ao no Exorcist Gekijouban)
“Ao no Exorcist’ The Movie”

Ao no Exorcist holds a special place in my heart because it was the first regular series I blogged on RC, so it’s nice to be back writing about it after a long absence.

「未来日記リダイヤル」 (Mirai Nikki Redial)
“Future Diary Redial”

At long last, I can finally talk about the manga ending. About damn time.

「みなみけ 夏やすみ」
“Minami-ke Natsuyasumi”

This is the pose for wishing for more Minami-ke.

「HUNTER×HUNTER 緋色の幻影」
“Phantom Rouge”

"Hunter X Hunter: Phantom Rouge"

「おっぱい、実ります！ / 「おっぱい、求めます!」 (Oppai, Minorimasu! / Oppai, Motomemasu!)
“I’m Harvesting Breasts!” / “I’m Searching for Breasts!

Are you ready for “Tits & Peace”? The Harem King will make his return – not now, but very soon. In the meantime, here are some appetizers while you’re waiting!
*INSANELY NSFW, but positively delicious*

「マジカル☆スター　かのん100％」 (Majikaru☆Sutaa Kanon 100%)
“Magical☆Star Kanon 100%”

In case you couldn’t quite whet your appetite waiting for Megami-hen, it’s Kanon-chan and Elsie to the rescue!

「Border:1 – Ghost Pain」

It remains to be seen if ARISE will be a worthy addition to the Ghost in the Shell franchise, but it’s off to a promising start.

「煌めきの… 聖爆誕祭（スラップスティック・ノエル）」 (Kirameki no…Surappusutikku Noeru)
“Glittering…Slapstick Noel”

I missed Rikka’s adorable “auu~”s so much, and it didn’t hurt that this episode had what was probably the single best gag of the entire series so far.

「言の葉の庭」 (Kotonoha no Niwa)
“The Garden of Words”

When it comes to the visual side of anime – or animation – there’s Shinkai Makoto, and everyone else. Two different categories, period.

「ヱヴァンゲリヲン新劇場版:Q 」 (Evangelion Shin Gekijouban Q)
“You Can (Not) Redo”

When I posted my thoughts about Eva Q after seeing it raw in a Japanese theater last December, I opened with "What the heck did I just see?" After seeing the movie subtitled, I have two further thoughts on that. First, I sure as hell don’t blame myself for asking that question. And second, seeing it subbed doesn’t come remotely close to answering the question for me.

「リトル・ウィッチ・アカデミア」 (Ritoru Wicchi Akademia )
“Little Witch Academia”

From Studio Trigger comes Little Witch Academia, a product of Anime Mirai’s Young Animator Training Project. And suffice to say, I’m stunned, because Trigger does an absolutely AMAZING job with this OVA.
