「湯殿」 (Yudono)
“The Baths”
Such seems to be the nature of Kusuriya no Hitorigoto, the wavelength of the storyline consisting of crests and troughs, and this was a trough.

Anime coverage is a crazy job |
It’s always a fun time concocting these posts, and the latest one isn’t any exception. We – well, me! – have been dragging our heels since forever, and as usual staying hip and with the times waits for no one. Random Curiosity is one again in need of new recruits, and much like before you best believe we have an opportunity for everyone!

It’s that lovely time of year when the scent of plum blossoms fades into the bloom of Sakura and Hanami are held all over Japan. Flowers are not the only viewing highlight, with the spring anime season also kicking off. Usually for anime, this is a full bloom season with a myriad of promising shows on the schedule. And this spring has many series worth getting excited for.
For one, we have quite a few series that could make quite the bang, based on the reputation of the creators. Fans of Watanabe Shinichiro will want to check out his sci fi thriller Lazarus and Detective Conan’s creator is in the spotlight with his time tripping, sword-wielding hero in Shin Samurai-den YAIBA. By far the biggest splash is sure to be made by the Boku no Hero Academia spinoff series, Shin Samurai-den YAIBAVigilante -Boku no Hero Academia ILLEGALS. Gundam fans are in hype mode with the latest addition to the universe in Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux (if only we could figure out how to pronounce such a hodgepodge of letters). We also have a couple of much anticipated sequels in Kuroshitsuji -Midori no Majo-hen-, Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, and Enn Enn no Shouboutai San no Shou which should fill up some of that remaining empty space this season.
And with that, let’s take a closer look at the garden in bloom that is anime’s latest spring season. This is Random Curiosity’s Spring 2025 Preview!
