Conclusion – “I’d rather be a comma than a full stop”

Sometimes life kicks you in the teeth. This isn’t really one of those times. Sometimes things just change for the better and as a result, certain others begin to suffer. It’s no exaggeration to say that RC has changed our lives – that it has meant a lot to us during our year here and will continue to do so after we’ve left. Without RC, neither of us would have met, lives would have remained unchanging, and who knows where we’d be today. Writing for RC exceeded our expectations in ways we never would have seen coming. There were fun times and there were hard times. Being a writer for a site as large as Random Curiosity isn’t always sunshine and roses, but at the end of the day, we’re both thankful to the site for giving us an opporunity to write and bringing us together. But RC is a well oiled machine – it’s not about the individual writers, but the site as a whole, so things will always continue as normal.

For a while now it’s been hard to find enough motivation to blog. Blogging has become something that needs to be done quickly to get it out of the way so that we can spend more time together. Having that kind of attitude towards blogging won’t do the shows we cover any justice. It’s better to go all out for something than doing a sloppy job. With our new priorities, perhaps it’s time to set aside blogging for those who remain motivated to give series the love and attention they deserve.

Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Bride – 01

「真陰、開幕」 (Shinkage Kaimaku)
“The True Shadow Opens”

Admit it, we all know what the attraction of this one is. The package has ecchi written all over it but if the first season is any indicator, Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Bride will likely present an ongoing plot device that keeps things highly interesting for the viewers.

Ore no Imouto ga Konnani Kawaii Wake ga Nai. – 01

Two years, it has been two years too long! Welcome back Oreimo!

「俺の妹が再び帰ってくるわけがない」 (Ore no Imouto ga Futatabi Kaettekuru Wake ga Nai)
“My Little Sister Can’t Be Coming Back Again”

Adorable children, tsunderes everywhere, and truckloads of anime merchandise. Oh Oreimo, how I’ve missed you so! It’s only been two yea–*chop*

Shingeki no Kyojin – 01

「二千年後の君へ」 (Ni Sen Nen Go No Kimi E)
“To You, In 2000 Years.”

Random Curiosity’s most anticipated series finally makes its debut—and with it, gives us a glimpse of why it was so hyped in the first place. Sawano Hiroyuki shows off why he’s one of the best composers in recent years, Production I.G. lives up to its solid animation pedigree, and it’s quite the faithful adaptation to boot.

Yahari Ore no Seishun Rabukome wa Machigatteiru – 01

「こうして彼らのまちがった青春が始まる」 (Koushite Karera no Machigatta Seishun ga Hajimaru)
“Thus Their Misguided Youth Begins”

I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of covering a show this cynical throughout my entire blogging career.
