Oh? I must confess I haven't read either manga artist seriously, but it looks kind of like the Hakaba Kitarou OP, and madp on Twitter said the episode was referencing Mizuki.

It's def Umezu because of the faces and the "Aaaaaaaaaaaaah"
I just read Hitler by Shigeru Mizuki and it's a different style.
When Marnie Was There
I know I read here that Arriety was perceived to be rather un-Ghibli but between this and that film, it's a shame that Yonebayashi didn't get the chance to be this sort of third face for the studio what with these two examinations of the fragility of existence. Of course, I still need to go through the Takahata stuff so maybe he has that covered but it's probably for the best Ghibli is gone as we really don't deserve these films.

OK, good to know. My manga literacy is not so great.
Marnie hit me really hard on a personal level. Just thinking about the end credits song chokes me up. Yonebyashi seems to be attached to an ex-Ghibli producer who set up a new studio, Studio Ponoc, this year, so it's likely we'll be seeing more of him in the near future.
Like I mentioned on twitter, the movie really resonated with me. In particular was Anna's idiosyncrasies which sorta hit home like Watamote did with other posters in this thread. :lol

Coming to a totally real Dreamcast 2 near you!

I'm surprised Tsukki kept playing volleyball after all that.

If it's anything like Telltale's most recent games, it'll be shit.

True. And not just that, but can you imagine how goddamn awkward it'd be if it was in real life and you had that happen to you. Being on either side of this would absolutely suck. Now granted it was all the older brother's fault.

Berserk Tales: The Black Swordsman is a greatly underrated double masterpiece ( 1 2 3 4 5 ... Last )

Berserk is just a rip off of Claymore with less cute girls.
Would be true if Berserk didn't come out 12 years before Claymore.

The weirdest part about Marnie was how no one gave a shit about the mother. She just served as a bridge between grandmother and grand daughter.
Between Anna never really knowing her and everyone in the movie having affection (read: bias) towards Marnie, I don't think it's too far out there to not be all that concerned about that source of grief.

I mean... it's still her mom though. lol
It's just odd because these types of stories are usually about the whole Oedipal/Electra complex thing and trying to come to terms with their parents.
Maybe it's an artifact of the novel?
Gundam Thunderbolt
Damn that shit is smooth
Asterisk - episode 1
Either it's super generic or I've seen this beginning before...
Ore Monogatari - episodes 1 & 2
I don't know if I can handle more episodes of this dumb pig gorilla not realizing she's into him. My heart can't take this, I'm fucking old!

Anna had more of a connection to Marnie than her mother though, even growing up.

Tales from the Borderlands is arguably their best game. Unless you mean in general because you hate the style

I didn't play that, but I have heard good things.
But I did play the second season of the Walking Dead, and the first season of Game of Thrones.
They were terrible.

Sure, that's fair. It's just an odd thing to see in a story since it's almost always about trying to find out about one's parents.
No clue!

Walking Dead S2 was a huge disappointment after season 1, and Game of Thrones is admittedly bad. I only ever hear praise for it from rabid tv fans whose whole world revolves around what they like. They can't comprehend it isn't that great because "I love game of Thrones"

The film is largely faithful to the novel, except for, you know, changing the whole setting and everything.
No she won't

Yup, Calvary and Asterix start exactly the same bit deviate slightly during the season.
Now with Ore, after the initial "misunderstandings" there is nothing but oohy, goohy, sticky sweetness to look forward to. The show is really, really good.

Yuuichi Nihei storyboarded this episode. The breakneck pacing stacked on top of old Hollywood facsimile was very jarring. I spent like an hour looking up other stuff this guy has worked on and a recurring theme seems to be him coming in late in a shows life to make things sort of bad. Or worse i guess, since a lot of this stuff is already bad. These definitely aren't the kind of people that can make up for Oonuma's blind spots as a director.
Go Princess Precure 45
These last two episodes are awkward for me. I like the premise a lot more than Kirara's episodes, and it's executed pretty well too. It's just with a character I don't care much for. Ah well. Might as well enjoy it. Ranko is still the best side character. She should've appeared more. Yui is a cheater. Precure could really use more insert songs. Minami's angst feels appropriate. She's definitely the type that wouldn't want to let down her parents. Mermaid still knows how to kick ass. I'm surprised Shut is only now getting his last chance. Seems that Minami's parents know their daughter pretty well. Good for them.

Glorious, glorious HD Neo Venezia.
this is what happens when people think reading tvtropes makes them learned.
Yeah. I really liked it too. And it didn't all line up with what I expected. I thought for sure the Bishamon plot would come back here.
Glad you mentioned the end credits bit, first time I watched it I just stopped not seeing it.
Monogatari Series: Second Season Episode 5:
Yes, yes indeed, this is what I had been truly missing from ever increasingly hated Nisemonogatoari. Yes. the emotional content, character growth and sheer chutzpah for an anime series to actually deal with relationships and emotions in a complex and sophisticated fashion, it is all here. Oh yes, special props should be mentioned for this series in actually advancing shit romantically, it really does feel like the freshest thing because of how little it is done.

Well, that as well, but that isn't making Asterisk any less generic.

Noragami Aragoto 13
I expected a few things. I didn't expect
A solid ending.
Anyway, Noragami Aragoto wasn't as strong as the previous season.
The first half was a bit disappointing. But the latter half made up for it. I'd still rate it above most other supernatural action anime.

Boy and the Beast is quite bad, yes.
I mean, hmm, how to put it - I think the film fails so often on a structural level that I can't recommend it all. Some parts of it are very good indeed but the flaws in terms of the writing and the structure really ruined the movie for me.
