「LETTER 01」
If you receieved a letter from yourself ten years in the future that predicted how your day would unfold, what would you think? And what if it said you were about to fall in love, and that love wouldn’t last forever?

「その箱に詰めるもの」 (Sono Hako ni Tsumeru Mono)
“What Fills the Box”
And it’s back! The show that makes us all wish we could cook better and crave everything on screen. Yum!

「世界か、自分か」 (Sekai ka, Jibun ka)
“The World, or Myself?”
There is a very fine line between surrealism and bad writing.

「告白…ももくんと栗原さん / 衣替えの季節に」 (Kokuhaku… Momo-kun to Kurihara-san / Koromogae no Kisetsu ni)
“Confession… Momo-kun and Kurihara-san / To the Season of Change”
That was adorable. A little bit stalkerish, but mainly adorable.

「終わり良ければすべて良し」 (Owari Yokereba Subete Yoshi)
“All’s Well That Ends Well”
Shounen Maid has been a funny sort of series for me.

「未来の時間」 (Mirai no Jikan)
“Future Time”
While I didn’t cry as hard as I did last week (probably because I’m sitting in an airport), this finale episode was amazing. Simply, amazing.

「竜殺しの大剣」 (Ryuu-goroshi no Taiken)
“The Branded Swordsman”
Much like Guts himself, Berserk fans are cursed – no matter how many times our favourite manga gets an anime, it will never be the adaptation we want or deserve.

「甲鉄城」 (Koutetsujou)
“Koutetsujou”
An epic end, a happy end – an end that hints there’s more yet to come.

Summer is in the air, and it’s a time of change. Or at least it is for some people. You know what’s not changing? Anime, and the previewing thereof. We’ve got some big-name shows returning with sequels, including the cooking battle mega-hit Shokugeki no Souma, the sword-and-horses warfare of Arslan Senki, and the by-now-traditional new season of Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya. Not to be left out, several popular properties are getting their first shot at adaptation, including the breathlessly awaited drama orange, a science trip back to high school with ReLife, the next big Key visual novel adaptation in Rewrite, and not one but two DANGANRONPA series. A few popular authors are getting anime for their newer works, including a healing/diving anime from the ARIA author, Amanchu!, and the next offering from One-Punch Man’s author in Mob Psycho 100. Sports anime fans will be especially pleased with Battery and DAYS on the docket, and though original series are thin on the ground this summer, at least the Prohibition-era thriller 91Days and the new era of school idols in Love Live! Sunshine!! are looking promising. No, that’s not sweat you’re dripping with, it’s anticipation for these new anime. This is Random Curiosity’s Summer 2016 Preview.
07/05: Added over 30 new promotional videos!

「自称騎士ナツキ・スバル」 (Jishou Kishi Natsuki Subaru)
“Self-Proclaimed Knight Natsuki Subaru”
I’ve defended Subaru quite a bit over the past few months when viewers would bash him for being annoying or self-centered… but this episode takes the icing on the cake.
