Now that every show has had a few episodes to make its case, it’s time to tell you what we’ll be blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2017 blogging schedule.
As always, this is a tentative overview of our plans for the new season . . . is what we used to say, but with multiple episodes under our belts, we’re pretty confident in our picks. Will some of them blow up in our faces? Probably. But this is what we’re going with.
In staff news, we’ve got a few writers taking the season off, some because they’re busy, some because nothing grabbed their attention. Fortunately our oldest and newest bloggers, Takaii and Pancakes respectively, are stepping up to be the heroes of the season! And to forestall the inevitable question, yes, we may very well recruit another writer ahead of spring. Maybe. Honestly, that’s Future Stilts’ problem, and that guy’s an asshole. Screw him. Let him figure it out.
In show news, we only had one carry-over, and yuusha Takaii is continuing with 3-gatsu, so all is going according to plan. I probably didn’t need to waste time with this paragraph, honestly. Such is life.
That’s all I’ve got this time. Thank you for reading as always, and for joining us for another wild and wacky season of anime. Banzai!
Great! Everything I’m watching from this season is pretty much covered. Also good to see Stilts is back.
I never saw any announcement or the lie but given the change on the staff page I am guessing Zanibas has left us?
Zanibas retired a few seasons back. He definitely left a hole that will be hard to fill with all the romcoms he blogged… but with all his real life priorities, I hope he’s enjoying his spare time now =)
I hope so too. I also hope our current stock of writers stay for a good while.
I’ll cover Kuzu no Honkai for one more ep (today’s) and then pass it off to Pancakes =)
I think you cover all the good shows – nice 🙂
Wow, Pan-kun and Ta-kun are handling a lot of shows. Gambbate!
Someone’s got to do it, might as well be us 😛
Okay, Guardian Enzo where are you? 🙁 and good luck takaii and pancakes you chose a lot of series to cover 😀
With exception of Onihei, all shows I’m watching are being covered! Yay!
The ONLY show that I wish received more attention and coverage was Akiba Strip dawg. It’s one of those dumbass parody comedies with some really interesting, quirky and over-the-top things going on each episode damn, with the lack of attention and coverage for Bakuon being another example.
Oh well…
If and IF in the event you guys are gonna want another writer, then I’mma really gonna work on dem resumes cuz these shows like Akiba Strip and Bakuon just need some more love dawg.
Good thing Samu is covering the sequel of SGRS. I just finished watching the first, and it’s certainly a real favorite for me. Same thing goes for Passerby covering Little Witch Academia.
I am so glad of the fact that 7 out of 7 shows I watch this season are covered here, it will be way more fun to follow them. Keep up with the good work!
Sad to see that Gabriel DropOut and Urara Meirochou aren’t being covered. Looking forward to ore coverage of LWA, Konosuba,Maid Dragon, and Ao no Exorcist though!
I would’ve covered Gabriel Dropout, but there sadly isn’t much to talk about. It’s all about the comedy and slapstick situations, which while hilarious, aren’t particularly good for blogging. I’ll definitely be doing an end post on it though, I love the show 😛
Looks like Gabriel Dropout *puts on sunglasses* got dropped out.
YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH
Also I’m glad that Masamune-kun and Maid Dragon are being covered.
Five series? Good Heavens, Takaii, you are a madman.
I think the most I covered at once was 7 way back when
Wasn’t that ever stressful? I mean, knowing you had to get a post out fairly quickly for those shows to keep fans following the show on here happy? I couldn’t do that personally. That’s pretty cool if you do that for people though.
I mean, when you enjoy what you do it doesn’t feel all that stressful. That and most of the commenters on my posts are all swell people.
Getting paid would be a nice bonus though.
my watchlist for this season is
masamune-kun no revenge
gabriel dropout
fuuka
little witch academia
kobayashi-san chi no maid dragon
kono subarashii sekai ni shukufuku wo! 2
demi-chan wa kataritai
in other words, the choices for this season blogging are great, and only one in my watch list (gabriel dropout) is not covered.
This season I’m watching only 24 shows, pretty weak tbh
Takaii is a beast!
Most of the shows that I’m watching are covered (well aside from some outliers here and there). All’s good!
Wait, so Passerby has officially dropped Rewrite? Ok.
Blame the mediocre adaption Rewrite received.
I’d understand why, but Rewrite was so ripe with all the potential WMG. Truth be told, I want his official statement if he really is dropping the show. (Like with Gabriel Dropout)
Pa-kun didn’t drop Rewrite so much as he didn’t pick up the second half. It happens with sequels sometimes.
I really wish someone else would blog LWA. The first few posts have been pretentious writing that reflects the writer’s lack of knowledge in both traditional fantasy and the LWA production. As a genuine fan, I really don’t see the appeal in LWA posts that question the idea of brooms, as if they’re some conservative political gimmicks. I also don’t see how this writer can label ANIME as shounen and shoujo as if these are genres. Demographic =\= genre. It is also very annoying to constantly see Harry Potter being mentioned as something to compare the series to.
I miss the old RC!
They’ve basically become their own genre, though?
Anime that is characterized as ‘shonen’ share the traits that manga like JUMP promote to the point I feel like it’s same-y enough to be its own genre. Same with shoujo, and to a lesser extent seinen. ‘Shonen’ stories have a recognizable art style, a set of common focuses and character arcs. Shonen can occupy an Adventure genre, a Fantasy pastiche, a sci-fi or sports manga, but the themes are generally the same.
I’m guessing you only think of these terms as the typical shounen action manga. You forget that shounen is more than OP, Naruto, AoEx, and all other sports. Kuzu no Honkai this season has everything you can find in typical shoujo manga but it’s a seinen manga. Yotsuba is running in a shounen magazine when it has everything typical for seinen. Kuroshitsuji is a shounen. Demographics are for magazines only.
I forgot to add: if you have these as categories for anime, what about other source material? See? It doesn’t work. You can say something is based on a shounen manga but it cannot be a shounen anime.
@As a genuine fan
What was the point of adding this part? If you’re both fans of the show, calling yourself a genuine fan doesn’t make you more of a fan than he is.
The point was that I don’t think he is a genuine fan. He is just writing things to sound intelligent. It’s pretentious writing and it’s removing value from the series. A genuine fantasy fan would not question brooms in an RC post. He is just a wannabe verdant.
No exported content from LiA this season?
Quick heads up — I’m at Anime Los Angeles this weekend and don’t really have great internet. Be ready for a flurry of posts when I get internet :^)
So… I guess Chaos;Child isn’t getting covered? I got baited into thinking it was because of the CHaos;Head on the side-bar. xD

Wow. I am following 4 animes this season alone, the highest number I ever had in years, and they’re all being covered on Random Curiosity! 😀 Lovely!
So sad there’s no love for Gintama here.
