At this point, I think there are only two possible explanations. Either a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance scenario where there's actual magic that somehow modified and replaced the real world (although that wouldn't explain why only the people playing the game got dragged there), or it's a Danganronpa scenario where
people's memories of how they actually got into that situation were erased, and the ones there likely volunteered to participate in some big experiment
Either way, it likely won't be a very satisfying explanation, which is probably why the show is avoiding it in the first place. Based on the comments I've seen elsewhere, I don't think even the original source has revealed what's really going on.
Isn't it a 2012 film?

Wind Rises probably, because of the Miyazaki prestige and the Disney backing.
I think it would be the distributor of the film in the U.S., which in Wolf Children's case would be GKIDS. GKIDS would have been the one to submit Letter to Momo.
So is Letter to Momo, isn't it?
They're both GKIDS? That would make this truly inexplicable, unless they thought it gave them a better chance if they only submitted one, AND they thought LtM had a better chance. In which case... LOL.
Well, GKids intentionally held back Momo last year to qualify it for this year's Oscars. As for what's going on with Wolf Children... no idea.
Of course, unlike Momo, Wolf Children actually has a physical disk release due out in the US (and UK) in fairly short order as well, so it's pretty unlikely that this is a case of them holding it back until next year. Shame, really.
Well that goes to show what I know.
If yo get round to the last series of Aria it may cause some indoor rain.
I would say that Time of Eve was probably on the whole better than Patema Inverted. Not say that it's bad bu ToE felt more like a complete work which wraps up nicely whereas after recovering from the hype, Patema has some niggling questions and a couple other bits I would pick at. Still a very enjoyable movie though.
Had a watch through and yeah there are some elements from the latter half of the film that appear quickly but you'd really have to know why those shots are spoilers to feel spoiled by them[/i].

I dunno, I kind of feel that
. Maybe that is just hindsight, though.
I dunno, I kind of feel that
the shot of the protagonist jumping over hole/sky at the bottom of the shaft, from the very end of the movie, is going to come across as immediately odd to anyone who pays any real attention to it
I've been watching a lot of good stuff lately with a friend for no particular reason!
Angel's Egg
I liked it. It's pretty easy to see how this film get's it's sort of... 'notoriety'? It's almost entirely allegorical, which can be a bit grating after awhile, but it has enough going on visually to hold you through the 71 minute run time. I especially loved the prominently featured Amano art; from the character design to the beautiful architecture. The film was unique, if nothing else.
The Castle of Cagliostro
It's kind of miraculous that I hadn't seen this up until now given the lavish praise I always hear. I haven't seen a whole lot of Lupin, but It's always great to watch. That coupled with it being a Miyazaki film makes this a pretty easy recommendation. It almost (almost) seemed a bit slower than other Lupin films I've seen, in that there was more breathing room between bits of intrigue and action. Not a bad thing to be sure. All-in-all it felt competently produced with an admittedly expected visual charisma and a solid direction. It made me a bit more excited for Lupin III vs. Detective Conan The Movie coming the beginning of next month.
I think next week we'll probably end up watching Vampire Hunter D and maybe Millennium Actress and Perfect Blue.

at this point the Dorssians are like Team Rocket, trying to catch the Valvraves through constant head-on attack every single episode.
You're in the middle of a serious battle and you have time to pontificate on your dead girlfriend alright then

Really liking Frey. Don't even need to mention her ample bust(+1) to say that she's just as cute as the rest of the girls in the show. Still one of the most incompetent assassins I've seen in awhile. Her doll Rabi looks awesome, but that just might be my love for dogs showing off.
Loki seems like quite the asshole. But I can't help but think that him and Raishin are going to be the bestest of friends. Little sister Komurasaki seems like she'll be a fun addition as well.
Charl going Tsundere so hard after that conversation with Raishin was fun and so was jealous Yaya. Sigmund is such a bro, his talk with Yaya was very sweet.
Seriously spoilers for the ending of Patema:
Well it is an odd shot but I feel it's only a spoiler since we both know why it is one. I mean for instance, the story could have been that for some reason Main Guy somehow manages to change his orientation and stand on the "ceiling" like Patema does. Without knowing the context, I'd say you'd have to be really thinking hard about why that shot is there.

Shoko's always got the best moments in this show. It sucks to see her and Haruto grow farther apart -- but that's how these things go ---WAAAH?
You are weak Haruto. You are the worst. And somehow Shoko still goes for you because anime
HAHAHAHAHA blonde boy has like this whole plan of how to conduct things, Shoko just wants a festival
She's like Joaquin Phoenix in Gladiator.
You know, I saw this scene coming because spoilers but it is way crazy to see it myself and why is this happening what point does this have but agh i'm rambling because whaghhasd
I wonder why theres only one anime submitted. Do anime film makers just not care about oscars? Are there limits on what can be submitted (I figured it would just need to be shown in US Cinemas during the right time period)? Bummed Garden of Worlds did not get submitted.
There's three - Momo, Madoka and The Wind Rises.
As for qualification, I think it's more specific than just being shown in US Cinemas - it's something specific like being shown in LA for an entire week/certain number of screenings during the year prior.

A movie has to be publicly screened in LA to qualify (except for Best Foreign Language Film).

That is BS.
Atleast, it was her and Sena doing most of the talking.
Oh, and this whole hot spring scene.
Was just one big "WTF" moment to me.

and now we have our final pilot. Could not have picked anyone better suited for this.
aaaaaand of course she has hacking powers. NERD RAGE POWERS ACTIVATE
lol the bad guys get away easily to come back another time
what the heck oniichan what
jegus, what a cliffhanger. But do I even really want to watch the rest of this
There must be something wrong with me, because I don't really feel satisfied watching this show. It just made me angry at Haruto and Saki, but not the kind of School Days anger that makes me want to see where it goes.
I dunno, I just was kinda bored watching this. Is the new season better?

Why did you have to remind us that those films exist
I haven't watched them, I'm assuming they're bad, though.

Croods was actually better than I expected, if you can get past the awful character designs and Nicholas Cage's voice.

Clearly it's my fault some are too scarred to come back.
But Nicholas Cage was the best part! Cage is always the best part!
I dunno - I watched it on the 'plane back from Otakon, and whilst I probably wouldn't watch it under any other circumstances, it wasn't the worst way ever to kill part of an eight hour flight.
Too bad Miiya Miiya is pink, and Haru turns into a tan cat in The Cat Returns.

Croods was amusing for what it was. Better than the last 2 Ice Age films but just as forgettable.
Agreed on all of those.

Saki becomes even more popular, Haruto takes credit for bullcrap and Shoko gets dismissed by everyone.
Rukino is even in the product placement.
You know, this show really isn't my thing. What is this? Is it a loose parody of mecha anime? A loose parody of high school anime? Playing it straight? The worst harem ever?
I can't tell.

Pink is just purple for commoners.
Yeah, like, I could even have been okay with Ame's decision to live as a wolf, but his decision to not say anything to his mom and never ever visit her was what cemented him as a grade a jerkhole forever.
As to the frog face, I was used to that after the Digimon movie.

Well someone is living a charmed life!
I wanna see this so badly.
Clannad is probably the best of the keyshit. I liked the focus on family and it wasnt just another high school slice of life. It showed characters being forced to grow up and the passage of a good bit of time. Stories like that in anime are kind of hard to come by.
I found it to be REALLY bittersweet. I really cant hate it at all.
Sci Fi is interesting because like you said, it doesnt necessarily have to do with space. sometimes its just monsters. But it differs from horror too, though it can be at times absolutely horrifying. It also gets very mixed in with Fantasy genres.

I shouldn't be, because the amount of time is a known quantity, but I'm always amazed by how much I can get watched on a plane flight between the UK and US. It's no doubt tied to the fact that there's nowhere of interest to go and my unwillingness to converse with or acknowledge the rest of the plane.
I knocked out Tetsuwan Birdy Decode on the last one.

I'm so pissed right now. They had a qualifying run and everything!
It's all about when an animated film gets its first theatrical run in the US. Wolf Children, despite appearing at multiple film festivals around the world, aired for one week in LA and NY recently I believe, which qualifies it for nomination. Same goes for Letters to Momo, but I don't know when that did.

But yeah actually this was one of the most entertaining episodes yet. The first half had me legit burst into laughters and the conversations and banter were beautifully executed. Not to mention giving some nice insight into the way Chitanda thinks which they hadn't done so far. Also lol at Oreki getting baited.
Also, I don't get what was wrong with the mystery of this episode? Sure it was insignificant but it's meant to be? I don't understand what people were expecting out of this show to be really honest. For one the show would plain not work if they weren't tackling normally mundane issues. That's actually a huge part of how the character dynamics in the show work. The clash between Oreki's 'energy preservation' and Chitanda's curiosity would just not work if they were not tackling 'boring' mysteries.
Putting that rant aside, I see this is also the episode were the 'Kinininirimasu' gifs came from. Didn't expect to see it so soon.
Anyway sufficed to say that I'm really enjoying this show so far.
Who the hell said this episode was boring I want to punch them in the face.

Cosign, although I quibble with the word "boring" being used there. Like I said in my own posts, the mysteries are mundane, but not boring.
