「愛と青春のサービス回」 (Ai to Seishun no Sābisu Kai)
“Fan-Service of Love and Youth”
This is a harem anime based on a light novel with a Matsuoka Yoshitsugu main character. If you’re sick of those by now… well, all the more reason to watch this one.

「初めまして！司令官！」 (Hajimemashite! Shireikan!)
“Nice to Meet You! Commander!”
I knew Kusakawa Keizo was directing, but I didn’t expect a magical girl show.

「妹ができた日」 (Imouto ga Dekita hi)
“The Day I Got a Little Sister”
Yes, this is a magical-fantasy-action-harem-ecchi anime, but so far it’s executing well on both the concept and its own story. I was optimistic going in, and it hasn’t let me down yet.

「神様またはじめました」 (Kamisama mata hajimemashita)
“I’ve Started the “Being a God” Thing Again”
Every schedule is better off when it’s blessed with a show or two like Kamisama Hajimemashita – ones that are simply a pleasure to watch and easy to enjoy.

「焔牙(ブレイズ)」 (Homura Kiba (Bureizu))
“Blaze”
I didn’t come in with high expectations, so I wasn’t that disappointed. I was still disappointed, though.

「私はスキをあきらめない」 (Watashi wa Suki o Akiramenai)
“Never Back Down On Love”
I think it’s fair to say that Ikuhara Kunihiko’s return to anime was just as wild as expected.

Now that you’ve seen the winter preview, it’s time to give you a first look at some of the shows we’ll be blogging. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2015 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.

Winter is here, and with it comes another season of anime. This is a light season, with only 31 new series airing. There are some familiar names, including another TV movie-style entry into the Monogatari series, Tsukimonogatari, the speedy return of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, the second half of the trainwreck fantastic spectacle ALDNOAH.ZERO, and more ghoul horror from Tokyo Ghoul. The wildly popular manga Ansatsu Kyoushitsu is also finally getting its anime, as is the perhaps even more popular ship girl video game, Kancolle. This season even features the long-awaited return of Durarara!! That’s just a taste, so read on for the full scoop.
* This preview will be kept at the top for the next while, so be sure to scroll past it, check the slider on top, or the Recent Entries on your right for new posts.

Another season, another monthly impressions. This season offers us a wide selection of sci-fi, fantasy and comedy series coupled with carryovers from the summer so there’s bound to be something that catches your eye. This post brings you our initial impressions of shows that we’ve been following for the past several weeks (plus any summer carryovers). If you’re wondering which shows have passed the three-episode rule or which ones you’re missing out on, give this a read through. On the other hand, there may be shows that haven’t met our expectations and you’ll hear about them here as well. We would love to hear your thoughts on shows as well so if there’s anything that we could have missed, feel free to discuss it here.

「乙女の真心 / ろうたけたる思い」 (Otome no Magokoro / Routaketaru Omoi)
“A Maiden’s True Heart / Noble Thoughts”
Another Studio Gokumi slice-of-life premieres … or maybe not. With a surreal turn, this original series is more than it first appears.
