Seitokai Yakuindomo* – 13 (END)

「正しい恋バナ, 遠距離アタック, 毛のラインナリ, 桜の空」 (Tadashi Koibana, Enkyori Atakku, Ke no Rainnari, Sakura no Sora)
"How To Talk About Love Properly, Long-Range Attack, Hair Showing, Cherry Blossom Sky"

I think we all saw it coming, but boy was this last episode a huge let down in terms of relationship development. While we did get some cute fighting between all of Tsuda's potential love interests, it looks like all he'll ever achieve is being labeled as a slave. That and it seems like until we get a third season, we have an infinitely looping season two.

Magi: The Kingdom of Magic – Redemption

Happy endings are worth fighting for.

After its first season, some said the Magi anime didn't deserve the second season it was getting. If so, they made good of the chance they were given. From story to animation, character development to action, from heart-wrenching tragedy, complex villains, lots of Extreme Magic, and a climax that built on everything that came before it, the anime found redemption.

This is a finale snapshot, so spoilers ahoy! Feel free to read if you don't mind being spoiler though, because I just might convince you that you need to watch the second season.

Tonari no Seki-kun – 13 (END)

「プール」 (Puuru)
"Pool"

Unless I get a nice surprise next week and discover another episode of Tonari no Seki-kun (or I'm enlightened by a legitimate source), this week marks the end of one of a great 10-minute anime that you may or may not have picked up. Boy wouldn't it be awkward if this wasn't the finale?

Not covering

Now that you know what's airing this spring, it's time to tell you what we'll be blogging! This is Random Curiosity's Spring 2014 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.

I repeat, DO NOT PANIC! Though we are announcing fewer shows than usual, that doesn't mean this is all we'll blog. In addition to the series we've announced so for, you can expect introductory posts for Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, Captain Earth, Hitsugi no Chaika, Ryuugajou Nanana no Maizoukin, Sidonia no Kishi, and M3: Sono Kuroki Hagane (among others), with an eye towards picking them up.
