「Everything But the Rain」
Not as good as Everything But the Bagel, but almost as good as Everything But the Elote.
Winter, it’s truly here at last. While we’re all concerned with the seasonal festivities and utterly annoying freezing temperatures (or sweltering heat for our friends below the equator!), anime has once again returned for another helping of fun times and entertaining stories. For all winter lacks in last fall’s ridiculous offerings, don’t think we are lacking this time either as both crowd favourites Tokyo Revengers and Vinland Saga return for round two amid continuations of the ever-popular supernatural series Bungou Stray Dogs and dungeon crawler Danmachi. In the mood for fantasy? You’re spoiled rotten with everything from Maou Gakuin’s sequel to the second go of slice-of-life focused Kamitachi and even some shoujo flavoured misting in Sugar Apple Fairy Tale for spice. And the fun doesn’t stop there as Urobutcher fronted Revenger, the eagerly awaited Nier: Automata adaptation, Legend of Heroes original Northern War, and the second bout of perpetual teaser Nagatoro prove. Heck, can even toss in TRIGUN Stampede and sly romcom underdog Kubo-san wa Boku o Yurusanai if in need of a couple stocking stuffers.
Winter often sucks and the lack of daylight hurts, but anime is back to keep things shining and loving life. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2023 Preview!
「縷の希望たち」 (Ichiru no Kibou-tachi)
“Threads of Hope”
A name so absurd that on anyone else it would be laughable.
「防御特化とクリスマス」 (Bougyo Tokka to Christmas)
“Defense Specialization and Christmas”
Season’s greetings from Maple Tree.
「戦慄の参観日 / 君去りし後」 (Senritsu no Sankanbi / Kimi Sarishi Ato)
“Parents` Day Horrors / Since Your Parting”
Lum’s mom having the same eyes as the retro Lum and Ataru’s dad being voiced by Ataru’s first VA can’t be a coincidence.
「京都より」 (Kyoto Yori)
“From Kyoto”
「もっとボロボロ」 (Motto Boroboro)
“Bruised & Battered”
Apples as metaphors, existential conflicts and affectation rather than dedication.
「モブ③ ~トラウマ~」 (Mobu San ~Torauma~)
“Mob 3 ~Trauma~”
Mob Psycho 100 always delivers in the big moments. It’s the ultimate clutch hitter.
