Found a blog who uploaded pictures of the various bonus film strips that zeroshiki was talking about a while ago.
http://omoshiroi.info/2011/12/06/k-on-movie-bonus-filmstrip-upload-summary/
They're so random though. Some poor bastard got a shot of a pair of legs.
Still probably not worth seeing the movie three times though... although, I suppose if you're just collecting these things, you could just buy the ticket and not use it.

Only 20 episodes through but he is such a terrible character. I don't think I will ever like him.
I don't like comparing apples to oranges, but apple is the superior fruit. And Aoi Hana is an orange.

[Space Battleship Yamato 21-22]
You know, there's a fine line between "We will eventually have to face the enemy" and "The enemy has set up the time and location of a battle, lets go meet them there". Actually, it's not a fine line at all, it's leagues apart in terms of sensible strategy.
I know this is a 'child's cartoon' but there was lots of terrible strategy from all sides:
On the plus side, there was plenty of classic WWII aircraft carrier vs WWII aircraft carrier combat and even a bit of submarine on submarine action. Good times!
Even if the actions of the combatants might be rather irrational at times, every single encounter appears to have both sides actually planning a strategy, which usually involves a unique tactic or item or device that won't be re-used in another episode. The battle will then pivot on how well that strategy works. Unlike say, large scale combat in Gundam (the originals) which just seems to have a hell of a lot of units flying around somewhat chaotically.

I know this is a 'child's cartoon' but there was lots of terrible strategy from all sides:
Kodai repeated taking the ENTIRE defensive fleet away from the Yamato to attack some obvious distrcation, rather then sticking close to the Yamato.
Kodai taking in the whole defensive fleet in at once to refuel, leaving no one to guard the Yamato.
Designing a super-special missile to take out the Yamato's strongest weapon but having it take FIFTEEN MINUTES to explode.

Upgrades are always welcome. Was already hyped for this show but replacing harlot Hirano with my goddess Maaya raises the hype meter some more.
You don't need to watch FSN first, in fact you might be better off not having seen it as you leave yourself for more surprises.
Working'!! 11: Inami and Takanashi-kun episodes are great. Haters keep on hating.
Only one more episode.
Inami is the best. Takanashi is okay, I like him best when he was
all tsundere not jealous but I'm jealous of some NTR action with bro Yamada and Inami.

I've got a film clipping of a candle from one of the Endless Eight episodes of Haruhi somewhere.
The most amusing I've seen were the with the second Macross Frontier movie, though, where some people were getting clips from the anti-piracy advert that played before the movie.

Hahaha, did they really think this was good enough to end with a sequel setup? Probably the best joke that there was from this show.
I do hope it sells decently enough that they can hire someone competent for the writing/series composition of their next project though. Such awesome direction shouldn't go to waste like this.

I think it should get one. I just realized the ending wasnt even that strong, unlike other good anime that leave one thinking or in shock for a few hours or days after watching, this just ended and I was like, okay, season two or whatever. I guess they wrote it either for an S2 or an OVA or something. Do adaptations of light novels usually end this way?
On DVD I've got Iczer-1 and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya right now, hoping to get through those over the winter break. I'm gonna be getting the third Revolutionary Girl Utena DVD volume soon, though, so I might try marathoning that later.
Streaming, I need to catch up Naruto and Bleach and finish off Zeta Gundam. Might check out Horizon too, see if it's at least enjoyably bad.

[Getter Robo Armageddon 1 - 1998]
The Yasuhiro Imagawa style direction is strong in this opening episode. Dramatic poses, close-ups, multiple plots weaving together without the show explicitly telling you what's going on and a heightened sense of drama (you know, with dramatic lightning) give this OVA an amazing start. I'd say this episode is better than the first 25 episodes of GaoGaiGar combined.

The december is pretty much a nostalgia/retro month for me. And with Oh! My Goddess I have a newcomer for my list of old animes are better.
You're Under Arrest! - File 6
Hangover Natsumi is so adorable...
but it's pretty hard to accept the quality loss of the tv anime. I would kill everyone here for a You're Under Arrest! anime with OVA quality.
The Adventures of Mini-Goddess - 1-3
Mini Goddess is such an underrated show. But a show about chibi-Urd and Skuld with Belldandy as sidekick character and some absurd adventures, sounds like the perfect anime formula.

The Girl Who Leapt Through Time
Enjoyable, but stupid.
I also got bored a few times. It felt like Makoto was never really learning anything, or the movie was taking too long to move to something else.

The only real issues I had with the movie were the train crash scenes. If you know the brakes on your bike are out, and you're speeding down a hill, and a train is coming that you're going to crash into, why do you continue to head straight onto the train tracks? And this didn't happen once, but twice. I don't understand why you wouldn't just crash into the ground or something instead of suiciding into the train.

Peace is also pretty shitty, apparently. Damn, this sure is grim.
Also, when people make statements like that or make those kind of choices it's best to (gently) knock them out. There's a lot of symbolic positioning triumphing over rational decision making.

I haven't watched the movie recently, but don't they try to crash into the ground and it kills some innocent bystander instead?

It didn't really feel like a twist to me.
In the room when she first got her powers, we were given a glimpse of the person, and it looked familiar. Once we got the reveal it felt natural. I wasn't shocked, didn't reject it as stupid or forced or anything. The drama in the frozen crowd scene was stupid, because it didn't make sense why he had to leave, but it didn't negatively affect my view of the movie. And he said from the start he was supposed to go back but stayed longer than he meant to, so him ultimately leaving was fine, too. That promise to wait was a little suspect, but not unexpected honestly.
Really, the train crashes were my only problems with the movie.

You know, that would have been awesome. Especially because she likely wouldn't accept that, and would then have a reason for staying the course.

That save sticker in my experience with other save releases is a sticker on the wrapping, and wont be on the box. The one with Sana in the red dress was the original release and has thin packs. They likely tossed the sticker onto to do the save edition with. The other one is probably a single DVD case sized package with all the disks.

A second season? Of this? HAHAHAHAHA
Not quite conclusive, but not as in-conclusive as many anime before it.
Well that was erm... a show of two halves, one half of psychotic people going psychotic, the other was put simply trashy fanservice (albeit very tame compared to Maken-Ki), all happening in each and every episode.

I was almost disappointed when mine just had Ranka (well, two Rankas, technically) on it. Almost. Although it's the Sheryl ones which where reselling for the most on Yahoo Auctions.
Speaking of film clippings, the LE of Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below came with one as well - could that be the only film where people didn't complain about getting scenery shots? I can imagine a film clip of some nice clouds being way more highly sought after than ones with characters for that movie...

[Anne of Green Gables 49 - End]
I can't believe it's all over. These Takahata shows are emotionally draining to get through, I'll tell you that. It's not hard to see why this work is so widely regarded, it's an excellent series through and through, no doubt thanks in part to the excellent source material.
Happily it's a show that I can recommend to everyone, there's nothing in there that's really objectionable or poorly made or anything like that. It's just a character drama, one that's more intelligent than most we see made into anime these days.
I'm pretty excited to check out Heidi at some point, so I can complete the World Masterpiece Theatre/Takahata trifecta of awesomeness (as it's officially known).

Moribito 1-6
Damn, this is some quality story telling. The slower bits remind me of GITS:SAC's where they're slow, but still engaging and well written.
I've almost enjoyed everything involving the Imperial Assassins more than the actual Balsa and Chagum parts. That is to say, their encounters together have been the most memorable moments thus far. Good to see the smaller time villains, that are most often just psuedo important characters that are quickly dispatched by the main character, become a little more human and fleshed out.

I see you've gotten around to that quickly upon hearing that it's directed by Kenji Kamiyama! Not that there's anything wrong about doing that, Moribito is a great series.
New Avatar, I had to make it.
Non-Gintama watchers can scratch their heads as to why Gntama watchers will find it amusing.
Lol. Amazing.
Also the funniest Gintama arc yet is airing next! I can't wait.
I wish. I'm on an Evo4G alpha build. It's a tad bit sluggish when it comes to the launcher, and the status bar icons are fuzzy, but it's all good otherwise. I was actually surprised to see a completely different crunchyroll app when I booted it up. It might think I'm on a tablet.

You're using an Evo 4G ICS alpha on a tablet? Damn, you're pretty hardcore with the Android custom ROMs. Is it a Touchpad?
I can try downloading the Crunchyroll app on a Tuna and see what happens. I'll try to stream something. You should be glad you can flash back to Gingerbread. Many apps are incompatible with ICS right now, including the BBC News official app strangely enough. I'm going through BBC News withdrawals. :|
Nah, not a tablet, an actual Evo4G. It's old and tired, but this thing has been a steady parter, still looks great in terms of design, and I don't have the money to upgrade right now, lol.
But yeah, try seeing if the app works for you on the Tuna. I was wondering if it was an issue with my alpha build, but everything else runs fine. I've heard of apps seeing ICS and defaulting to their tablet/honeycomb interfaces, even when on it's ICS on a phone, so that might be the issue.
