Natsuyuki Rendezvous – 03
In the eyes of the one you love, would you be content with being second place for your whole life if it meant you could be together?

This episode played with my emotions much like love does, swinging me back and forth between highs and lows.
Taking the time slot of Tsuritama is a series which takes noitaminA back to the genre that brought it acclaim in the first place: a josei romance. Of course, Natsuyuki Rendezvous isn’t your average romance in the vein of Honey and Clover or Nodame Cantabile by any means – not when there’s a ghost involved.
「そして、海賊は行く」 (Soshite, Kaizoku wa Iku)
“There Go the Pirates”
This is a series that brings a light-hearted and romantic take to the piracy and space opera genres, and one which never ceases to bring a smile to my face.
With this amazing spring season almost entirely in the rear-view mirror and summer’s crop of shows rapidly approaching, there’s no better time for the second installment of the Random Curiosity Podcast than now.
「海賊会議」 (Kaisai! Kaizoku Kaijin)
“The Pirate’s Council”
As the series heads to the finish line with a strong wind at its back, I can’t help but hope that the end of the course will be pushed back for another season or two.
「運命ゼロ」 (Unmei zero)
“Fate/Zero”
I don’t think I could have asked for a better conclusion to a series as special as this one.
「ベルセルク 黄金時代篇Ⅰ 覇王の卵」 (Berserk Ougon Jidaihen I: Haou no Tamago)
“Berserk Golden Age Arc I: Egg of the High King”
Miura Kentarou’s dark fantasy saga about a talented swordsman and a charismatic mercenary leader makes its long awaited debut on the silver screen.
Note: I’ve tried to keep spoilers to a minimum, and there are some NSFW screen caps after the jump.
「傷だらけの弁天」 (Kizudareke no Benten)
“The Wounded Benten”
I nearly ran out of fingers trying to keep track of how many plot twists and surprises there were in this episode.
