As you know, Divine was a valuable contributor here at Random Curiosity, and since his departure Omni has been looking for someone to help out. I can only hope I’ll be of some service as a new team member here, and honestly I’m very much looking forward to working with all of you. I’ve been a reader around here for a couple of years, and have been watching anime for much longer. Some of my first fan-subbed experiences from many years ago include timeless classics (Cowboy Bebop) as well as some things that were only magical the first time around (Love Hina). Since then I’ve seen a variety of shows from a variety of genres and tend to enjoy well produced, original, and creative stories the most. I can’t stand studios who can’t offer anything new, and I applaud those who go out of their way to be creative and make artistic advancements in the industry. Provided you have realistic expectations and an open mind, I find that most series can be enjoyed for what they succeed in, and forgiven for (a fraction of) their faults. At this moment in time (in other words, subject to change, hopefully when you least expect it), some of my favorite anime includes: Ghost Hound, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, FLCL, and many others which I enjoy immensely but wouldn’t necessarily call a favorite. That is including, but not limited to: Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Haruhi, Paranoia Agent, Dennou Coil, Natsume Yuujinchou, and a handful of others that I’m too embarrassed to mention here. I’m probably forgetting a few major series that I loved, and I certainly left out a lot of big names that I liked a lot but didn’t list here, but I hope you get a general picture of what I tend to enjoy the most. This season I’ve been keeping up with far more series than usual. That list is almost guaranteed to shrink as the season continues, but I’m currently watching: Kannagi, Kuroshitsuji, Chaos;HEAd, Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, Kurozuka, Kyou no Go no Ni, Michiko to Hatchin, Mouryou no Hako, Nodame Cantabile Paris-hen, Skip Beat!, Toradora!, and Vampire Knight Guilty. Some of these I only watch on TV for the sheer enjoyment, most I download and watch at my leisure. Obviously I cannot possibly write about all of these, nor would I want to (I probably won't do Kurozuka, Mouryou, Michiko... and Skip Beat! has plenty of great bloggers already). But I am really excited about the prospect of writing about a few of them, so I hope you’ll indulge me as I take on a couple of these shows, as far as time allows. I'll definitely be following Kuroshitsuji for starters, and hopefully Vampire Knight Guilty pretty soon as well. Aside from anime, my other passions include language, which, combined with intense impatience allows me to watch most of my shows raw these days. I also keep up with a selection of manga, which delays the hunger. (Except those monthlies. If you think waiting a week is harsh…) That’s about it as far as my general anime background is concerned. As far as my other personality quirks go, I’m sure you’ll discover them along the way. Yoroshiku, ne~ -Trillian

Episode 5 of Jigoku Shoujo Mitsuganae, “Cicada”, starts at school, where Yuzuki bumps into a younger girl, Katase Ririka, by accident. Ririka was carrying glass instruments, among which a beaker broke. It isn’t really much of a big deal, and Niiyama Miwa, the teacher who soon comes across them, rightfully treats it as [...]

Short Synopsis: A teacher is bugged by an overprotective guardian. Highlights: You have to love the messages of this series. Overall Enjoyment Value: 8/10 (Excellent) Oh, how I love this series, although for a completely different reason when compared to the other seasons. The first season had some really nice stories in its repertoire about people who were [...]

Episode 04: Big Brother At school while doing duties, Yuzuki notices a guy named Takeru crossing up at them with brooming confidence, and Yuzuki recalled that he wasn’t like that before. [...]

The Second Season of Jigoku Shoujo was better than the first one…but only by a tiny bit. The stories of the first season were better than these ones in my opinion. But the fact that we get to see more of Enma’s minions and their stories, made watching the smaller arcs a bit more bearable. [...]

Because if I pictured what would be hell for me, it'd be full of idol shows.

“Ippen…shinde miru?” LOL! Oh man that was hella funny! I literally couldn’t stop laughing at the way it was executed!! ^_^ And it was also good seeing some skin from the other characters rather than just Ink and Sumi!
