Random Curiosity

「劇場版 魔法少女まどか☆マギカ 叛逆の物語」
(Gekijo ban Mahou Shojo Madoka Magica: Hangyaku no Monogatari)
“Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica the Movie – Part III: Rebellion Story”

“They are the ones who pray for hope, embrace hopes, and fight ever onward. They are magical girls.”

「空の境界 未来福音」 (Kara no Kyoukai Mirai Fukuin)
“The Garden of sinners/recalled out summer: Future Gospel”

There ain’t no two ways around it. I’m going to miss this series.

「リトルバスターズ！EX」 (Ritoru Basutaazu! EX)
“Little Busters! EX”

Snakes. Why’d it have to be snakes?

「リトルバスターズ！EX」 (Ritoru Basutaazu! EX)
“Little Busters! EX”

A new year, and yet another new anime take on Little Busters!.

「Border:2 – Ghost Whispers」

As the second part of a quadrilogy, one of the things I was looking for was whether or not it served as a proper bridge between the introductory portion of the series and the overarching plot line it wants to give us. Powered by the always fabulous Kusanagi Motoko, it does just that.

「まれびとの祭壇」 (Mare Bito no Saidan)
“Altar of the Heavenly Visitor”

Bit later than expected, but here we are with Kugel’s untold story.

「劇場版 シュタインズゲート 負荷領域のデジャヴ」 (Fuka Ryouiki no Déjà vu)
“Steins;Gate: Deja vu”

If great characters make a story, then any set in this mythology has a massive head start.

「リトルバスターズ！世界の斎藤は俺が守る！」 (Sekai no Saitou wa Ore ga Mamoru!)

Boy, talk about a mood shift…

「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.
