"The Fate of the Tamayori"
If "sealing" the Onikirimaru had sealed the deal, there would obviously be no need for a second season!

 |  |  |
 |  |  |
(Tonari no Yoshida-kun)
"Sitting Next to Yoshida-kun"
A show doesn't need to break new boundaries to still make you feel fuzzy inside and give a grin that you just can't get rid of! Everyone welcome Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun!
Monja! Monja! Monja!

It's that time of the year again, time for the final season schedule of 2012. It's been a good year, full of grand changes for RandomC and fun anime for all involved...but I'll save the reminiscing for the the year end post. For now, here's what we're planning on covering this time!
As with previous seasons, this is a tentative overview of RandomCs plans for the new season. Well also be doing introductory posts about many of the shows we're not covering, so if something catches one of our eyes, things will be shifted around to accommodate. The schedule will be updated to reflect any changes.
...more after the jump.

Fall 2012 Preview!

 |  |  |  |  |
Finally, the long-awaited fall season! Along with spring, fall tends to be one of the busier seasons, with everything from the debut of highly anticipated blockbusters to the continuation of venerable old series. And this year is no different! Hotly anticipated adaptations include the award-winning sci-fi light novel Shin Sekai Yori, the 5pb. sci-fi visual novel ROBOTICS;NOTES, and the Key romantic drama Little Busters! The sequel front has some heavy-hitters as well, among them the return of spring's amoral action-adventure Jormungand, a brand new season of the comedy and harem classic Hayate no Gotoku, and the third season of the mangaka drama Bakuman. There are even a few original series to round things out, most notably Urobochi Gen's PSYCHO-PASS. Fall is busy indeed--and like last spring, you're fortunate enough to have not one, not two, but FIVE writers to help guide you through the shows you'll want to be watching this season. Lucky for you, eh? So without further ado (that's a lie; there'll be a lot more ado before we're done), let's get on with it and talk about the 32 series we've previewed for you this season. Get excited!

 |  |  |
// (Fudan Mondou/Fuku Chigai/Sakebi Shinan)
"Normal Dialogue/Different Clothes/Shouting Instructions"
"This anime is full of ordinary dialogue so that viewers can fully enjoy how cute the girls are."
Blunt with their intentions? I like this show already.
Posted inDOG DAYS First Impressions Series Introduction
DOG DAYS’ – 01
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
! (Yuusha Kenzan!)
"The Hero has Arrived"
Here we are again, in this land of nekomimis and inumimis.
Oda Nobuna no Yabou – 01
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
(Nobuna to Saru)
"Nobuna and the Monkey"
It's another anime about the Sengoku period, but should you be so quick to dismiss it?
Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon II – 01
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
(Shu No Ba No Buin Tachi)
"Club Members in Scarlet"
Musashi starts off fighting Tres Espaa, and then flies straight into another confrontation, this one with Great Britain. They just can't get a break, can they? Hopefully not, because the action, the comedy, the romance...this episode was fun!
TARI TARI – 01
 |  |  |
 |  |  |
(Tobidashishitari Sasottari)
"Running and Inviting"
Ill be honest, I wasnt too excited the moment I opened the first episode of TARI TARI. Most of it probably came from Divines less than excited opinion about another slice-of-life anime from P.A. Works with a premise that on paper sounds about as fun as playing with a dead cat. However, by the time the credits started to roll I was a little shocked by how strongly the show really grabbed me in.
