SOS (Mitsuki Esuouesu)
"Mitsuki SOS"
Awkward censorship, weird pacing, few explanations, and barely a peep from the main character until 10+ minutes into the episode. If this is how this series intends to continue, it's not making a great case for itself.

It's time to put away the tinsel and shrug off those New Years hangovers, because the new season of anime is just about to start. This is Random Curiosity's Winter 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.

With winter already upon us and the third year of the Tyranny of Stilts set to begin, it's time to introduce you to the upcoming anime season. Last season was strangely weak for fall, with many of the most highly anticipated series ending in disappointment while only a few dark horses stepped up to pick up their slack. Can winter, traditionally one of the weaker seasons, do any better? I think it may be able to, and that's not just my eternal optimism talking. This season is pleasantly plump with original series, including the anime-saving space adventure SPACEDANDY, the ridiculous interplanetary mecha brawl Nobunaga the Fool, the world dominating loli fantasy Sekai Seifuku ~Bouryaku no Zvezda~, and the magical courtroom procedural Wizard Barristers: Benmashi Cecil. Notable adaptations include the magical fantasy mish-mash Witch Craft Works, the airborne epic Toaru Hikuushi e no Koiuta, the Shaft harem romcom Nisekoi, and another ridiculous Nobunaga-based sci-fi romp in Nobunagan. There are encouraging sequels as well, including a second season of the perverted slice-of-life comedy Seitokai Yakuindomo, another season of ridiculously awesome mahjong with Saki Zenkoku-hen, the second cour of the deep agriculture coming-of-age story Gin no Saji, and the second season of KyoAni's delusional romcom Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! There's a lot of enjoy this winter, so join me for Random Curiosity's Winter 2014 Season Preview. Read on to find out what you should be watching.

(Kon'na Tokorode Au To Hana)"I've Never Thought We'd Meet Here"
Beautiful boys and their fervent passion for basketball I love everything that KuroBasu embodies. A beauty-marked bishie and yet another player from the Generation of Miracles make their appearances bring on the bromance, drama and badasseries! |  |  |

( Kanzou Sou no Amakunai Nichijou Kanzou Sou no Kusakunai Nattou)
" The not-so-sweet life of Amakusa Kanade The not-so-smelly nattou of Amakusa Kanade"
A philosophical conundrum; is it the choices we make that determine our lot in life, or is it the circumstances which we find ourselves i--wait, was that Steve Jobs and Einstein? And did he just ask her to touch his oppai? This show is nuts!
