| 7:56am | Introduction: Tril the Blogger (an Essential Demographic) |  | | | As you know, Divine was a valuable contributor here at Random Curiosity, and since his departure Omni has been looking for someone to help out. I can only hope I’ll be of some service as a new team member here, and honestly I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you. I’ve been... | | |
| 8:04am | RD Sennou Chousashitsu Review - 87,5/100 | | | | Also happily adding to the theme of “fooling the viewer”, which returned in quite a few series for the past season, is RD Sennou Chousashitsu, or Real Drive. The set-up promised to be awesome, uniting Masamune Shirou, the creator of Ghost in the Shell and Ghost Hound with the director... | | |
| 7:24am | RD Sennou Chousashitsu - 25 | | | | Short Synopsis: A calm-before-the-storm episode, which shows Haru right before he attempts to retrieve Kushima’s consciousness. Highlights: Finally some focus on Minamo again! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8,5/10 This was an excellent calm-before-the-storm episode. It did exactly what was needed... | | |
| 5:13pm | Ultraviolet: Code 044 - 12 | | | | Short Synopsis: Luka tries to rescue King, and more things happen which I’m not going to spoil here. Highlights: So different from what I expected! Overall Enjoyment Value: 8.5/10 Whoa! That was actually a really good ending! This episode was among the best episodes of the entire series, and... | | |
| 8:11pm | King of Bandits Jing Review - 77,5/100 | | | | Hiroshi Watanabe intrigues me. No matter what kind of utter crap he produces, he intrigues me like no other. The guy is a brilliant writer, he has a bizarre sense of humour, and at the same time he can come up with the most terrible and cheesy storylines ever. The guy has also been around for a decade... | | |
| 7:25pm | Don’t forget the character designers: Yoshitoshi ABe | | | | I was racking my brains over what to write for this blog entry: it’s too early to give a worthwhile run-down of what’s the best new summer show currently airing and wider-reaching topics such as the state of the industry have been done to death right across the anime blogosphere already.... | | |
| 5:44pm | Telepathy Shoujo Ran - 03 | | | | Short Synopsis: The villain turns out to be a teacher. More importantly: Ran and Midori become friends. Highlights: Excellent banter, though the evil teacher was way too evil. Overall Enjoyment Value: 7,5/10 I’m probably going to end up comparing this series a lot to Night Head Genesis, the... | | |
| 8:09pm | Crystal Blaze - 12 | | | | Oh god, the creators actually did it! They actually pulled off a great ending as well. This episode was really good, and amongst the best of the entire series. One thing I’ve noticed with endings that they often feel rather lukewarm. I think that my opinion of this seems to change with every... | | |
| 5:57pm | Full Summer Anime Preview -- staff, cast, trailers, pics, stories | | | | For me, the best way to guess how good a coming anime will be, is by looking at its staff: the director and writers and animation director and sound director, and so on. People who have made good shows before tend to make good shows again.I sometimes start watching a show for its voice actors, but I... | | |

| 7:59pm | Nijuu Mensou no Musume Episode 6 - Dreaming of the Prior World | | | | Before I start on the episode - what’s the significance of the “utsushiyo” of the title of this episode (”utsushiyo no yume”)? It’s my understanding that the manga this show is based on was subtitled “Utsushiyo no Yoru”, and those of you who’ve... | | |
| 12:27pm | Real Drive - Episode 7 | | | | It always makes life interesting when an anime series exceeds or otherwise confounds my expectations, but what the Hell was this?! An episode of Real Drive where the client is a dog, only he's not a dog but a human in a dog's body, and there are lots of dogs and they have cyberbrains and they all connect... | | |
| 4:49pm | Arjuna Is Magically Delicious | | | | Kudos to these guys for bringing Arjuna to my attention. Back in the day (8 years ago seems like forever) I was pretty big on the show, and I liked it a lot. It’s probably still somewhere in my top 10-20 TV anime of all times list. To fully appreciate Arjuna I think you do need to look at it... | | |
