Random Curiosity

Now that every show has had several episodes to make its case, it’s time to tell you what we’ll be blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Summer 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.

「狼煙」 (Noroshi)
“Smoke Signal”

It just wouldn’t be Shingeki no Kyojin without Mikasa doing Mikasa things.

「舞台少女」 (Butai Shoujo)
“Stage Girl”

DON’T TALK OVER THE MUSICAL NUMBERS YOU TWATS.

「ゆらぎ荘の幽奈さん」 (Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san)
“The Yuragi Inn’s Yuuna”

The downsides of a haunted hot spring are severely outweighed by a monthly rent of $9, as well as getting to cohabitate with a well-endowed ghost girl.

Warning: Censored but still NSFW

「Episode 1」

1991 – The year of Street Fighter‘s 30th anniversary.

「蘇えりし者、夜に嗤う」 (Soerishisha, Yoru ni Warau)
“The Revenant Howls in the Darkness”

I’m never exactly sure why the vampire hunters are as dedicated to the masquerade as the vampires are.

「砂糖少女は愛を食む」 (Satou Shoujo wa Ai o Hamu)
“The Sugar Girl Feeds on Love”

‘For never was a story of more woe / Than this of Juliet and her Romeo.’

「ディープブルー」 (Diipu Buruu)
“Deep Blue”

Forget that other naked boys anime. This is the anime of the summer!

「我が命は敵に払う借金か」 (Waga inochi wa teki ni harau shakkin ka)
“Our Lives are the Debt We Pay to Our Enemies”

Genji healing memes, in anime? What a time to be alive.

「芽吹きのダイブスタート！」 (Mebuki no daibusutato!)
“Sprouting Dive Start!”

As per usual, those abs and crotch lumps are looking hella good.

「率土の最果て」 (Sotto no Saihate)
“The Far End of Japan”

Here’s the one thing you need to know: the action is awesome!

「Episode 1 」

Finally, the reboot we’ve all been waiting for… Black Jack!

「黄昏に生きるもの」 (Tasogare ni Ikirumono)
“Those Who Live in Twilight”

Getting robbed the moment you arrive is part of the London experience. As are kung fu vampires.

「エースなんて必要ないの」 (Eesunante Hitsuyounaino)
“There is No Need for an Ace”

I. Love. Beach. Volleyball. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Violence! Comedy! Violent comedy!
