Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu – 03

 |  |  |
Not enough anime focus on stories set in Japan during WWII, but more often than not those that do dip their toe into that era end up packing an emotional punch. Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu is no exception, delivering a gorgeous depiction of the horrors of wartime and the trials it puts through everyday people who don't deserve to suffer.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | Passerby | 3 | Samu | 2 | Jig | Not covering |
Now that the winter preview has been released ... four weeks ago---read this post if you're wondering why the schedule is only coming out now---it's time to tell you what we're blogging this season. This is Random Curiosity’s Winter 2016 blogging schedule.
As always, this is a tentative overview of our plans for the new season ... is what I would usually say, but it's different this time. With 2-3 episodes under our belts, we've got a good idea of what each show entails, and 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.
