Another sakuga episode. After an intense battle with the bad guy to foil his lard spirit bomb, he is forced to transform into the Lard God. Quality action comedy on display. Truly the secret best show of the season, if only more people watched it
Also Golgo reappears again!
More people are watching it than watched the first season here, though -- I don't remember one person watching beyond episode one other than myself (while I, of course, thought liked it quite a bit).

Really? He's not credited anywhere for it.
I like to blame Satoko Okudera. It's not like Hosoda writes his movies.
Edit: I do not support the notion that Howl's Moving Castle is better than those films.

Hideaki Anno?
I don't know. Therefore, PENGUINS.
Hideaki Anno?
And look how he ended up.

She has a right too! Better than all the male characters (sans Karasawa)
She wrote the script for the Hosoda version, if that wasn't clear. Miyazaki alone is responsible for his own piece of shit.
Isn't it a she?

Whoops. >_> That makes it even more saddening. I wish Hosoda would do a movie with her again.
you're not even trying anymore
We should find the script and then do a kickstarter to get the movie made.
We would probably need 10 million dollars at least. Do you think we can raise that?

Time to rob some banks.
I'm glad another realizes that it's his best work at Ghibli.
With enough schwag, anything is possible!
I'm partial to clouds and a blizzard myself.

Eh, it was okay, but the story and ending were seriously lacking... it's nowhere near as good as Nausicaa, Castle in the Sky, Princess Mononoke, or Spirited Away.
I did like some thing about it, and it is a good movie overall, but it's far from his best, in my opinion.
Whoops. >_> That makes it even more saddening. I wish Hosoda would do a movie with her again.
Here's what we generally know about Hosoda's Howl's:
- Hosoda had completed pretty much all the storyboards for the film.
- Reiko finished at least a complete draft of the script.
- Based on Hosoda's interview comments after his One Piece movie, we know that stylistically it was probably going to be similar because it was what Hosoda felt like making at that time, which is to day it would have a dark tone and be visually complex, and surrealist in direction.
- The design of the castle and the storyboards do match up with that theory, and you can see them below. The reason Ghibli canned the movie was apparently because it was far too different from the usual animation style that Ghibli was known for, and the animators/animation director rebelled against him forcing him to quit.
What?
Just saying I wish they would use different character designs.
no there character design have been different, I think you mean art style.
edit
Just to make it clear I don't think howls a great movie

It was ok. It was about as I expected when I watched the short and something that I think would be better off in small doses.
Demon Lord Dante 1
This looks like it'll be garbo. Didn't realize there was a cameo from this property in Shin Mazinger Z though!
Kid Icarus Thanatos Rising 1-3
Thought I'd hate this but was given a charming little show with some fun banter thrown in. Thanatos laid it on a bit thick but Pit/Palutena were pretty funny. I think I'd have liked a longer version of this as and I was surprised the 3D seemed relatively well done.
Kid Icarus Medusa's Revenge
Seemed more like a setup for something larger (yeah yeah the game) but I liked the visuals despite the 3D detracting from it. As soon as I saw it was 2D I should've turned the 3D effect off. Instead I was treated to three minutes of my right eye twitching.
Sailor Moon R 66
Luna showing a little shoulder.
Also the animators were getting a little fancy.

Damn it, I was worried they were serious at first about Minako losing a finger. Cute ep though and I hope it starts the thawing process for Mamoru and Usagi.

So Ponyo looks like Arrietty looks like Umi?
The mother of the boy definitely looks like the characters in Mononoke for example, and also Arrietty. If I remember correctly, the old lady in Howls looks exactly like the witches from Spirited Away. Pretty sure I recognized other resused designs too. I mean it makes all their work very homogenous but I'd like them to mix it up a bit more. Like maybe having Howls in a different art style and character design entirely might have made it more interesting.

Couldn't ask for a greater ending to this season. I wonder where it goes from here?

Holy hell. Lots happening.

Continued the fake versus real topic to its natural conclusion, not unexpected, but enjoyed it regardless.

We learn pretty much everything, much of it seemingly from out of nowhere.
Chris singing a song to stop the moon from being blown up. I doubt many anime can top that, lol.
Still lots waiting to happen, mostly with Hibiki and her inevitable death, which was shown in the first episode.

They caught the emotion behind Nanako's death pretty well. The muted sounds and lack of music did it great justice. Her father's reaction was done less well.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor 7
Some really great moments in this episode, like
One could say that Tylor is just lucky, but luck is the most important skill in battle, after all!
Some really great moments in this episode, like
Yuriko winning the arm-wrestling match when Tylor cheers for Andressen and damn if she doesn't make some funny faces in the process.
Hmm got it off a blog. Could very well be.

Hijikata, what a boss. This ep wasn't as good as two before it, but served as an interesting transitionary ep of sorts, still. Akidzuki showed more character in this ep than he has the whole series. Im glad my call on Kakunojo drawing him out a bit seemed to be in the mark.

I'm going to give the first season a shot, since I need something to do while I wait for episodes of Mirai Nikki.
Well, I'm just asking because it looks terrible, lol.

So a full team transformation takes about two and a half minutes. Good to know.
This was the first episode where the humor barely made up for the weaker fight scenes, not that there weren't some funny moments, especially that bit at the end. However, I guess they're finally done with all the "setup" episodes for now, and the next episode looks like it could be comedy gold, so we'll see if it balances out.
...what exactly is the project again, and when was it announced? I haven't exactly been following it along.

Interesting.

There aren't very many direct captures of Kokuriko because its not out on BD yet
Ghibli certainly takes its sweet time in getting to home releases.
Yes, that exact one!You mean the Okouchi who worked with Miyaji on E7 ep26?
It's coming out in 3 months. The special edition has some official art on the box: http://www.blu-ray.com/movies/From-Up-on-Poppy-Hill-Blu-ray/40135/
