「January」 (January)
"January"
Even though I thought non-touken players would have a tough time watching this show, I was pleasantly surprised. Not only was the show super fun to watch, everything about this first episode felt on-point and true to what I thought a Touken Ranbu show would be about.

Autumn winds are coming, there's a potentially life-changing election around the corner, and 2016 has proved itself to be a thoroughly bizarre year. But amidst the madness we still have a new season of anime to bring us together, so there's something to celebrate about! The past few seasons have been varied in genre and source material, and this is much the same. We've got a bundle of anime originals, with the WWII-inspired Shuumatsu no Izetta sure to make a strong impression, Classicaloid is bringing Mozart and Beethoven together in a colourful comedy, Flip Flappers looks to be a magical girl show with a bundle of creative talent behind it, and the misleadingly titled Yuri!!! on Ice has a lot to live up to. The Hellsing author's latest manga, Drifters, is getting an adaptation, and the Occultic;Nine light-novels by the Steins;Gate author are also coming to our screens. There's also a selection of prestige and award-winning material getting TV anime, with the popular novel and live-action film building expectations for Fune wo Amu, 3-gatsu no Lion is getting adapted by none other than Shaft, and the beloved Natsume Yuujinchou is returning for it's fifth season. Speaking of sequels, we've got plenty: the Brave Witches spin-off is sure to satisfy Strike Witches fans, Haikyuu!!'s third season is set to cover the most important match yet, Kyoto Animation are blessing us with the sound of Hibike! Euphonium 2, and we even got a surprise spin-off announcement in WWW.WORKING!!. It's a large and varied season that's sure to offer something for everybody. This is Random Curiosity's Fall 2016 Preview!

Now that every show has had a few episodes to strut its stuff, it's time to tell you what we'll be blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Summer 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 2-3 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.

「ただいま希望ヶ峰学園」 (Tadaima Kibougamine Gakuen)
“Hello Again, Hope’s Peak Academy”
It’s every aniblogger’s nightmare to have to list each individual character for a series like DANGANRONPA. Considering that I’ve never read the visual novel though, let’s see how well I do…
