「メトスラの遊戯」 (Metosura no Yuugi)
“The Game of Methuselah”

Girl, take off all your clothes if you want to live…

「屍せる者たちの凱歌」 (Shikabane Seru Mono Tachino Gaika)
“The Victory Song of the Dead”

It may not be as great as the original trilogy, but as Total Eclipse demonstrates with its superb final episodes, it ain’t no push over either. This week, we get some nice power plays, hard choices, and some darn awesome TSF vs. TSF vs. BETA combat.

「ホラー・NO・RYO大会」 (Horā No Ryo Taikai)
“Dorm Meeting of Horror”

I can only imagine what the tenor of the discussion is going to be like this week.

”What do we do with all this money, Issac?” “We make a sequel, Miria!”

You’d think with a premise like prohibition-era-mafia-meets immortal-alchemists-in-a-pulp-epic more people would’ve watched this show. Welcome to day 9, and by the end, you’ll be wanting a fedora.

「公園におっさん2人」 (Kouen ni Ossan Futari)
“Two Men in the Park”

We’ve been building towards this moment for a very long time now.

「時の娘」 (Toki no Shoujo)
“Girl of Time”

As much praise as I’ve been lavishing on Zetsuen no Tempest lately, I still don’t think I’ve been giving it enough credit.

「パレード」 (Pareedo)
“Parade”

“No one is born evil.” – Henning Mankell

Who

Maybe it’s the season, or the unusual plethora of romance anime I’m watching this season (or the constant repetition of “The Last” by WongFu Productions), but I finally decided that this post would be all about the who, what, when, where, and whys of my anime history, represented by different anime that defined a particular point in time.

「鍍金(メッキ)の勇者」 (Mekki no Yuusha)
“The Gilded Hero”

I’ve taken two main things away from this episode.

「戦車（チャリオット）」 (Chariotto)
“Chariot”

FAIRY TAIL have finally earned themselves some points. Go Natsu!

「うちらだからこそ造れるロボを」 (Uchira Dakarakoso Tsukureru Robo wo)
“A Robot Only We Can Build”

Look! A giant monopole just happened to fall out of the sky! Was anybody else thinking, “What the….?“

Memento Mori – “Remember you are mortal.”

RC’s Twelve Days of Anime continues with Toki wo Kakeru Shoujo as I delve into one my favorite movies and its commentary on life.

「復活」 (Fukkatsu)
“Revival”

I see that Madhouse is having fun with breasts again! …Wait, that did not sound right.

It’s not tea but it has a loli with a hammer for some reason.

Welcome all, to our very own Random Curiosity Twelve Days of Anime series of posts. As the guy who proposed, organised and hunted down the rest of the team to make sure these posts were finished on time, I have the dubious honour of introducing our very own twelve day lead up to Christmas!
