Random Curiosity

Now that every show has had several a bunch of episodes to make its case, it’s time to tell you what we’ll be blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Fall 2018 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 flounder down the stretch? It’s happened before. This is what we’re going with for now.

「少年は矢庭に」 (Shounen wa Yaniwa ni)
“The Young Man on the Shooting Range”

MY BODY IS READY

「開幕ベル」 (Kaimaku Bell)
“The Curtain Rises”

There’s another unconventional puppet show in town which also happens to revel in unorthodoxy.

「CHANGE THE WORLD」

You wanted ninjas? You wanted action? You wanted fanservice? But mostly, you wanted that last thing? You got it.

「ボーイ・ミーツ・モフみガール。/ 近侍の心、閣下知らず。」 (Boi Miitsu Mofugaaru. / Kinji no Kokoro, Kakka Shirazu.)
“Boy Meets Fluffy Girl. / Her Highness Knows Not Her Assistant’s Heart.”

This is the fluffiest, most adorablest anime I’ve ever seen.

「そして、もう一度　Place」 (Soshite, Mōichido Place)
“Place: And So, Once Again”

Ignore the critics – we’re off to a good start!

「俺と妹がラノベ作家になった理由」 (Ore to Imouto ga Ranobe Sakka ni Natta Riyuu)
“How my Sister and I Became Light Novel Authors”

This is your mind. This is your mind on light novels.

「俺の子ども！？」 (Ore no kodomo! ?)
“My Child!?”

Isekai, uh, finds a way.

「はじめてのチア」 (Hajimete no Chia)
“My First Time Cheerleading”

Join the Chair Club!

「仙鎮城 / 奪われた魔剣」 ( Sen Shizumi shiro / Ubawareta maken)
“Xian Zhen Fortress / The Stolen Sorcerous Blades”

In my opinion, Thunderbolt Fantasy is an unironic contender for anime of the year, assuming you give it a chance.

「アンダーワールド」 (Andaa Waarudo)
“Underworld”

What a way to kick off the season with a nearly hour-long episode.

「覚・醒」 (Kaku.Sei)
“Awakening”

Trigger: now with giant monsters.

「混乱」 (Konran)
“Chaos”

Holy amazeballs. I never thought this day would ever come!

「お次でお待ちのお客様がイケメン / ヤオイガールズフロムOVERSEAS!!!」 (Otsugi de Omachi no Okyaku-sama ga Ikemen / Yaoi Girls from Overseas!!!)
“The Handsome Guy is First in Line / Yaoi Girls from Overseas!!!”

Don’t you wanna feel my bones?

「天下分け目のグラウンド争奪戦!」 (Tenkawakeme no Ground Sendatsusen!)
“The Fateful Battle for the Playing Field”

You may have heard of Baseketball, but have you heard of Baseoccer?
