「悲しみよこんにちは」 (Kanashimi yo Konnichi wa)

Shinichi is breaking apart, piece by piece.

「妹ができた日」 (Imouto ga Dekita hi)
“The Day I Got a Little Sister”
Yes, this is a magical-fantasy-action-harem-ecchi anime, but so far it’s executing well on both the concept and its own story. I was optimistic going in, and it hasn’t let me down yet.

「神様またはじめました」 (Kamisama mata hajimemashita)
“I’ve Started the “Being a God” Thing Again”
Every schedule is better off when it’s blessed with a show or two like Kamisama Hajimemashita – ones that are simply a pleasure to watch and easy to enjoy.

「焔牙(ブレイズ)」 (Homura Kiba (Bureizu))
“Blaze”
I didn’t come in with high expectations, so I wasn’t that disappointed. I was still disappointed, though.

「私はスキをあきらめない」 (Watashi wa Suki o Akiramenai)
“Never Back Down On Love”
I think it’s fair to say that Ikuhara Kunihiko’s return to anime was just as wild as expected.

「決戦 -Reincarnation-」 (Kessen –Reincarnation-)
Final Battle –Reincarnation-
Predictable series be predictable. Is that a always a bad thing though?
The Best of Anime 2014
Now that 2014 is officially over, it’s time for our yearly rage fest foray into annoying everyone with our questionable opinions, the Best of Anime 2014 post! As with last year this post is a collaboration between the writers who watched the most series this year (and who didn’t say “Not it!” quickly enough), me (Zephyr) and Stilts. We each watched upwards of a 100 series this year, and while we we won’t guarantee total objectivity (like such a thing exists), we’re generally well-informed about whatever we’re wrong about.
More after the jump.
Disclaimer: As always, disclaimers abound. Please keep in mind that “best” is subjective. What’s best for us isn’t necessarily best for you, and that’s perfectly fine. This list shouldn’t be taken as some kind of inviolable truth, but rather the opinions of two guys who had too much time on their hands and spent it conjuring up a list of picks based on all the anime they watched. Naturally our choices will be influenced by our own tastes, experiences, and personal impressions. Before you go bashing one of our choices, please make sure you’ve at least seen it and know where we’re coming from. Finally, all we ask is that you respect our opinions and the opinions of others in the comments, just like we respect yours. Thank you.
Disclaimer #2: The choices in this post are not reflective of the opinions of all Random Curiosity writers. They are solely the opinions of myself (Zephyr) and Stilts, save for where otherwise noted. Thank you for your understanding.

「よつぎドール 其ノ壹 – 肆」 (Yotsugi Dōru Sono Ichi – Yon)
“Yotsugi Doll Parts One – Four”
‘Impossible. Is there anything more important than getting a little girl?’
*Some of our characters are all too comfortable unburdened by clothes, so this post is slightly NSFW.
