RandomC summer 2015 preview

Here is the Random Curiosity Summer 2015 preview.

UPDATE: For those who were looking forward to Monster Musume, it's going to be 5 minute episodes.

UPDATE: Pete notes the rise of the short-form show, not with eagerness. I agree with him that it's not a good thing.

He lists 6 examples from the upcoming season. I can add two more: Monster Musume and Bikini Warriors are both 5-minutes per episode. (In fact, they are running back-to-back Tuesday night.)

1 Found atrailer for Ushio & Tora. It could almost be the original except for the dramatically improved video quality.

And they're planning a full 26 episodes this year followed by another 13 next year. There's a chance that this could be really good.

2 They have 33 volumes of source material, so the one thing we know for sure is they won't need to pad it out.

3 Monster Musume is 5 minutes also?  Um..  I really don't know what to say about a season so bad they're not even trying fanservice to save it.

4 Monster Musume is getting a set of 5 minute ONAs, in addition to the normal show.  It was a little confusing to sort through that, though.
Short Form isn't new.  It's just that it's being subbed a lot more.  Azumanga Daioh is the best known of the Short-form series.  (It was daily episodes, then a compilation on the weekend)  It's just no one ever subbed them in the last decade.  I think Crunchyroll just gets a really good deal on them.  They're not big sellers, most of the time, so it's some easy money for the production companies.

5 RandomC has a broadcast schedule. Monster Musume is scheduled for a certain time Tuesday night. Then Bikini Warriors is scheduled 5 minutes later on the same channel. QED

6 Monster Musume is scheduled for a certain time Tuesday night. Then Bikini Warriors is scheduled 5 minutes later on the same channel. QED

Except Monster Musume is scheduled at 24:30, and Bikini Warriors is scheduled at 25:35.  Which would suggest an hour between them...

7 They must have changed the chart. It used to be 5 minutes between them.

8 I saw that earlier, too.  I was bummed about Steven's "5 minutes" remark and went there to look.  (Also, I was wondering why Aroduc would preview it when he skips that for the short shows.) Didn't see any mention in the writeup, and then saw the schedule block.  

Glad it's really a full-length show.  I'm not a manga reader, but this one has gotten a lot of good buzz.
