「いつわりの奇跡」 (Itsuwari no Kiseki)

Oh good, the explosions are back.

「新キャラを追加しました!」 (Shin Kyara o Tsuikashimashita!)
"New Character!"

Death flags, fat wads of cash, and yuri relationships. This show has it all.

「再会／光明と混沌」 (Saikai / Koumyou to Konton)

Better hide those memories kids, the body snatchers have returned.

「アクティブハート」 (Akutibuhaato)
"Active Heart"

Nobunaga is certainly nobody's fool, not with those wickedly amazing political smarts.

First Impressions Yuri!!! on Ice

「自分を好きになって…完成!!フリープログラム」 (Jibun o suki ni natte... Kansei!! Furii Puroguramu)
"Love Yourself... Achieved!! The Free Program"

Personally, I think Yuri should let Victor sleep with him and also accept his boyfriend suggestion.

First Impressions Stella no Mahou

Stella no Mahou – 04

By Takaii October 28, 2016

「スキルアップ」 (Sukiru Appu)
"Skill Up"

With a majority of this week's episode focusing on raising Honda's skill in drawing, I really appreciated the fact that the story didn't slow down and in-fact decided to kick things up a little.

First Impressions Flip Flappers

Flip Flappers – 04

By Passerby October 28, 2016

「ピュアイコライゼーション」 (Pyuaikoraizēshon)
"Pure Equalisation"

When Flip Flappers acts less crazy it just makes me paranoid.

First Impressions Hibike! Euphonium

Hibike! Euphonium 2 – 04

By Samu October 28, 2016

「めざめるオーボエ」 (Mezameru Oboe)
"Awakening Oboe"

It's a given with Kyoani, but there really isn't anything that keeps up with the character art and top-class production values that Hibike! Euphonium offers.

Now that every show has aired several episodes---and then a couple more, while I took my sweet time putting the post together---it’s time to tell you what we’ll be blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Fall 2016 blogging schedule.

As always, this is a tentative overview of our plans for the new season . . . is what we used to say, but with multiple episodes under our belts, we're pretty confident in our picks. Will some of them blow up in our faces? Probably. But this is what we're going with.

3-gatsu no Lion First Impressions

3-gatsu no Lion – 02, 03

By Takaii October 24, 2016

「Chapter.5 晴信 / Chapter.6 夜空のむこう」 (Chapter.5 Harunobu/ Chapter.6 Yozora no Mukou)
"Chapter 5 Harunobu / Chapter 6 Beyond the Night Sky"

After putting it off until Stilts forced me to give him an answer, I never expected I'd love this show as much as I did -- and we're only three episodes in!
