「明日に向かって、えくそだすっ!」 (Ashita ni Mukatte, Ekusodasu!)
“An Exodus Toward Tomorrow!”
Initial D meets Bakuman. If you’re interested in an anime about making anime, then SHIROBAKO is for you.
Yowamushi Pedal: Grande Road – 01

「フェイズ４９」 (Feizu 49)
“Phase 49”
It almost feels like Yowamushi Pedal never went on break last season, considering how this episode jumped in right where the last ended – mid-way through the intense final stretch of the second day of the Inter High.
Orenchi no Furo Jijou – 01

「レん家のフロ事情」 (Orenchi no Furo Jijou)
“The Circumstances in My Home’s Bathtub”
We finally have our anime about a merman in a pink bathtub!
Garo: Honoo no Kokuin – 01

「業火-HELL FIRE-」 (Gōka -HELL FIRE-)
“Hell Fire”
For a series that is flying under everyone’s radar, Garo: Honoo no Kokuin really proved itself with an stellar opening episode on all accounts. If you’re looking for a medieval fantasy with witches, knights, demons and darkness all melded together, then this will deliver.
World Trigger – 01

「異世界からの訪問者」 (I Sekai Kara no Hōmon Sha)
“Visitor From the Other World”
As the era of the ‘Big 3’ is coming to a close, here comes the adaptation of World Trigger – Weekly Shonen Jump’s only surviving battle series in the last 6 years – ready to try and fill the shoes of this daunting genre!
Space Dandy 2 – Never-ending Dandy, Baby

A collection of tales about a Dandy Guy in Space |
Space Dandy may not have been the series that many had originally hoped for, but this misfit creation shouldn’t have been any different.
Introduction – “If you’re ever looking for another writer…”
Just according to keikaku1.
Well, here I am. It appears that luck was on my side and the stars have aligned in my favour, resulting in me being given this fantastic opportunity to blog for RandomC. So let’s get started with the introductions: I’m Samu, from bonnie2 Scotland, and I’ll be the latest addition to the weird and wonderful cast of RandomC!
Like many others, I watched anime throughout my childhood without even realising what it was. But Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Digimon, and Beyblade aside – as well as far too much money spent on merchandise and trading cards over my childhood – my real first taste of anime came in 2011, when I started watching series by the season with help from the previews, schedules, and episode reviews available on RandomC.
For me, 2011 was a spectacular year for anime, maybe because it was my first proper experience with it, and maybe because of nostalgia, but it was what shifted me into high gear and had me hooked on watching anime from then on. I also love manga and read a few dozen as they are published, which I’ve done for a few years now, starting with my first ever ongoing anime/manga experience: Bleach. And because of that fateful first viewing, the chances of Bleach being anything other than my personal favourite anime/manga/series are essentially zero. We all had our gateway series, I suppose!
More after the jump.
