Now that you know what’s airing, it’s time to tell you what we’ll be blogging! This is Random Curiosity’s Summer 2014 blogging schedule.
As always, this is a tentative overview of our plans for the new season. We’ll also be doing introductory posts on many of the shows we’re not covering, so if something catches our eyes, things will be shifted around to accommodate. The schedule will be updated to reflect any changes.
Summer 2014 Preview!
Summer has returned, bringing with it a fresh batch of anime to give you excuses to escape from the heat. It’s an interesting batch we have this time. If I had to call this season anything, it would be the Summer of Sequels, with continuations of the KyoAni boys love swimming anime Free!, the alien-hunting stylings of SPACE☆DANDY, the second season of everybody’s favorite magical girl spin-off Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma☆Illya Zwei!, another arc of Nisio Isin’s Monogatari series in Hanamonogatari, and the colossally popular (and equally polarizing) second season of Sword Art Online. But there are originals as well, including the P.A. Works’ summer romance Glasslip, XEBEC’s mecha series Shirogane no Ishi Argevollen, and another mecha series in the Urobutcher/Aoki Ei collaboration ALDNOAH.ZERO. There’s even a bit of a resurgence in the horror/thriller category, buoyed by the highly anticipated adaptation of Tokyo Ghoul and the original series Zankyou no Terror. Last year’s summer season was surprisingly strong. Can this year keep the trend going? There’s only one way to find out. This is Random Curiosity’s Summer 2014 season preview.

M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane – 01
「降星ノ夜」 (Furiboshi no Yoru)
“Night of Falling Stars”
The last anime to premiere this season is a little late from the rest of the pack, but nonetheless, it still delivers a highly anticipated original anime.
Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san – 01
「犬神さんと猫山さん」 (Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san)
“Inugami-san and Nekoyama-san”
Even though I have no intentions of picking up this show, let me say a few things about it c:
MEKAKUCITY ACTORS – 01
「人造エネミー」 (Jinzoo Enemii)
“Artificial Enemy”
I am unsure whether the Kagerou Project will be given a just anime adaption. Let’s see what was done right and wrong.
Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin – 01
「勘当されて島流し」 (Kandou Sarate Shimanagashi)
“Disinherited and Banished”
I’ve had a trail of bad luck picking up Noitamina shows airing on Thursday nights… but I give it another shot by taking my chances with Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin.
Sidonia no Kishi – 01
「初陣」 (Uijin)
“First Battle”
This series is packed full of many interesting ideas realized in a gritty, realistic fashion. If you like sci-fi, watch this. If you want to see some of the pathways science may take us, watch this.
Ping Pong – 01
「風の音がジャマをしている」 (Kazenooto ga jama o shite iru)
“Way of the Wind”
It was a given, but Ping Pong The Animation is quite unlike anything else on the schedule.
