Kanuka! I completely forgot this episode, the swordfight was so epic. It's a shame that it was the second episode with a more Kanuka centric plot.

Well apparently we're already halfway there. It looks like you might be able to see that dream become reality sooner than you thought.
These are the kind of deep, ponderous issues that we like to explore. :cajun or hng? I'd rather we used neither, as both phrases lack descriptive clarity. I understand that the it's just a personal reaction, but it doesn't really give me a lot of information.

All right, we get it, you're superior. No need to rub it in!
Well even though that's certainly true I think it also helps that a certain amount of effort when into constructing these shorts, which is why they don't feel like afterthoughts.
Once we hear that it's a CG Flash title it'll be easier to go back to spitting on noitaminA's grave.

Once you've seen a movie enough times certain things start occur to which you probably wouldn't have bothered even considering on your first, or even second time through. For example, won't all those railways be really difficult to repair? How long did it take to draw that scene at the climax (as there's certainly a lot of fiddly looking animation to draw)? Is the never ending advancement of technology necessarily a good thing?

Now, unlike most of the Studio Ghibli movie collection, I do believe that I've only seen this once before, which made revisiting it quite a treat.
While the movie certainly appears to be 'old man wish fulfilment' (especially when if you're well aware of Miyzaki's love of vintage aeroplanes) the ideas being explored through the main protagonist are surprisingly adult and complicated.
On one level the movie can certainly be enjoyed as nothing but an enjoyable adventure there's certainly a lot more going on, especially with regards to Porco's
and so it speaks to the quality of Miyazaki's directorial skills that the movie can manage to be an enjoyable film without getting weighed down by these more complicated issues. They're certainly prominent in the film itself but the film can be enjoyed on multiple levels.
Oh, I guess I have to mention the mechanical animation for the planes, because I have apparently become the kind of person who does that. It's spectacular even though, bizarrely enough, the film isn't really packed full of dog-fights.

Oh! My Goddess - 2
Oh god, who is not in love with Belldandy?
What's not to love? She's the idea Japanese doormat. With God hair.
Aren't you entertained by the part where they never kiss or show any kind of human response to one another? Because that's the best bit.
I don't think people posting HHHHHHHHHNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG are trying to convey significant amounts of information. It's the moe equivalent of a Bieber fangirl's frenzied screaming in the presence of her pop idol.
Not just that, when two characters do get together, their character interaction changes so much that it feels like you're watching two completely different people, hurts more when you actually liked the character interaction that they used to have.

Watching/reading Oh! My Goddess just for the romance is pretty wrong. Kosuke Fujishima created the perfect manga. He can do pretty much everything what he want with the story. If he want a racing arc, he can do it, some action? No problem! And his ability to create and introduce after 23 years new, fresh and unique characters is insane.
I wanted to like Ah! My Goddess so much. The series has such a great concept, interesting mythology, excellent mecha detail and is overflowing with charm. Urd and Skuld are great, as are several other characters. The problem is Belldandy. She's the most wooden, two dimensional character ever conceived. Her only motivation is to be Keiichi's prim and proper wife. That's it. If you removed Keiichi from the story she would literally have nothing to say or do.
I loved the OAV and even collected some of the manga back in the day. However, the show focuses too much on Belldandy that I got kinda bored. I wish she had some kind of personal aspirations or something.

It's one of the reasons I actually enjoyed Love Hina. The relationship develops. The characters have an arc. It's long and drawn out, but it's there. The characters weren't just tossed into the story already head over heels over each other and nothing ever happens.

Oh, I'm aware they're just writing down the deep feelings that emerge from their hearts when they see Rin draw eyes on a leaf, but whether it's hng of :cajun I'd quite like to hear some more thoughts about the material in question. However, hnggh may be too pure for that.

The Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon episode. Only with mushrooms.
None of that matters though. Norio Wakamoto shows up in this episode. Girls licking mushroom shaped candies covered in condensed milk can't compete with that.
This was about as creepy fanservice anime an episode can get. Not even sure how this aired on TV.

Well I'm not exactly blaming Ah My Goddess! for a faults of an entire genre, but it doesn't help that it's a really popular franchise that has probably inspired many creators to ape it's structure.

blame Urusei Yatsura or Donald Duck and Daisy...

You haven't seen all of Tenchi? You should fix that.
With Tenchi, I never felt a pressing desire to have the characters really do more than what they were already doing. With Goddess and other shows, that isn't the case at all.
Urusei is the opposite in that the main character is the chaser, Daisy is just western tsundere.
Ma backlog, why won't it decrease.

While we're on the subject of harems, are there any with older protagonists? I don't mean like college age or the SZS guy, I mean like 30s.
Edited. You may have a point.
You know you've watched or played something too many times when these types of thoughts begin to pop up.
Ex. I don't know how many rounds of Street Fighter 2 I've had on Cammy's stage but wouldn't the bridge break?
So we're all kawaii moe girls?

And so the Phoenix arc ends. Ikki put up a good fight.
Docrates has the coolest armor out of all the Saints so far. Should be a fun villain.

Some people, for whatever reason, just don't like big tits. It's the oddest thing, really.
You directly compared K-ON! with My Little Pony. You don't get an opinion. >:|
Yup. *Looks at tag and knows it could be much worse*

... Am I, am I doing it right?
My reputation is peachy clean, thank you very much. My reality distortion field works far too well for it to be otherwise.
It's not really something you want to get right.

Araragi's hair tuft is adorable.
I'm loving Hitagi's passive-aggressiveness. Wasn't as sure about the new snail girl, but
sold me on her.
K-ON 3
It's as if Yui and Ritsu have split Usagi's ditziness gene between them. The gag with Ritsu making a grand entrance reminds me of the stunts Yuuko pulls in Nichijou.
I am surprised that Anne of Green Gables managed to get dubbed into French, Spanish, Italian, German, and Portuguese, but not its native English.

I'll never understand it myself. Nature's natural funbags are wonderful in virutally all shapes and sizes. They can be drawn TOO big at times though, some anime do push it a bit. But otherwise, bring on the busts!
Now I'm absolutely sure I've made a wrong turn in life somewhere. I can't even figure out the meaning in my own emoticon.
