I love Novid's posts. It's like having our very own Alex Jones.

Still random and crazy at times. Favorite statement was
The choice of songs cracks me up too.

I hope we get even more battles
. The strategys now are good and the teachers too. Really still like how they do the gray thing whenever Yuji and Akihisa talk to each other, that trust.

Have you visited your local doctor recently?
There's still the question of what relevance your rants are to anime, except for your irrational hatred of Crunchyroll which is roughly equivalent to wanting Chad Hurley et al jailed for popularising YouTube by allowing (and, in many cases, continue to allow, which is something Crunchy doesn't do) unauthorised versions of everything to be uploaded and hosted.
fixed...and i only go to my doctor for a nagging ear infection

Amazing episode !
A very 2nd part of a fight and the right moment to show COSMO !
So did i enjoy this episode that much ?
Of course not paradox , the answer is obviously YES !
ryuho is slowly removing all the nerfs the plot put on him and i enjoyed this fight much more than i thought i would.
i'm especially glad that
The dual voice of paradox made her an even better opponent than expected and teh animation was enough even if it loked cheap at times ..
GREAT EP 9/10

I think that's being unfair to Alex Jones.
Youtube takes down these things in time. Sometimes it takes longer than others but its a work in progress. Crunchyroll whole busines model was based on stealing shit and then telling other crooks (the fansubbers) you need to pay them to fan sub the stuff they stole. Its almost of comedy of errors.
Stick with it, try to pick up on references to GB. And enjoy the animation. I think it may be the most aesthetically pleasing anime I've seen. That train scene about a minute in...

A Letter to Momo
Finally watched this today and it was pretty goo-- err... what's happening guys? Why's everyone over there staring blankly into.... oh. I... see.
Like I said, seven years!
GOOD MORNING NOVID.
But umm...I seriously don't understand what the fuck you're trying to say. I honestly really tried.
Perhaps you should link to something that explain what you are talking about that lays this all out for us.
Happy Thanksgiving Instro!
And to all of AnimeGAF as well, may we feast and brawl in the early morning for those delicious Black Friday Sales.
The Maoyuu Maou Yuusha OP is by some artist named YOHKO, but the ED is by Akino Arai. Y'know, the same singer that did the OP for Spice & Wolf S2.

Oh well, happy Thanksgiving!

A Letter to Momo
Okay, for real this time. This was a pretty good family movie about a girl and her mother coping with the death of the father, and moving back to the mother's hometown in an island countryside. I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, but boy was it by the numbers. Just imagining a typical Pixar or Ghibli movie, and you basically have a good idea what sort of tone the movie has. Take bits of Monsters Inc and My Neighbor Totoro, and you'll have a good idea of what the movie is actually about. There's nothing really original or ambitious here, but I guess that's okay as long as a movie is relatively well made and enjoyable.
The most striking part of the movie is certainly the visuals. The production values are pretty top notch, and the character animation and backgrounds are really detailed and add a lot of charm and personality to the film. Momo herself as the lead character is especially expressive, and I really liked the development the character went through visually. At first she's shy and doesn't talk much, clearly upset about having to move and feeling out of place in a small town. As the story develops though, so does the character, and most of this is depicted visually in subtle ways which are realistic and interesting to watch. Her curiosity and fears are portrayed really well through the animation, and there is great facial and body movement throughout.
What I find less impressive is the script. While there is nothing wrong with telling a simple story, or even a predictable one, I think how effective a story is depends also on how it is told. A predictable story told in a way which does not draw attention to how generic the story beats are sidesteps the pitfalls of being predictable. Unfortunately, here I feel that the beats are a little too telegraphed, and every scene in the first half of the movie is spent setting up obvious conclusions which indeed occur in the climax. Speaking of climaxes, there are quite a few in this movie. Towards the end, there were at least three points where I felt the movie could have ended, and honestly, I would personally have picked the first of those points.
Overall though, it's a pretty charming and fun film. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a new family friendly film to watch, as long as your expectations are not sky high. It didn't really feel like something which should have taken 7 years to make, but I don't find it helpful to take that into account when judging something as a final product. It is what it is.
Edit: I would also like to mention that one thing I did appreciate from the script is that the show is extremely subtle with regards to revealing the more creative visual elements, and it is something which builds up throughout the entire film, slowly, bit by bit, and leaving the biggest visual showcase for a climatic scene. This is a traditional and logical way of rewarding the audience as they continue watching the film, and something which not a lot of movies do right these days. Reminded me of Ponyo in that sense honestly.

Pilgrim-chan likely pioneered starvation moe and smallpox moe the subsequent winter, too.
Nothing like a warm used blanket offered to native friends.
I also just realized that Squan-ko is wearing a tiny hat by proxy. Fucking Japan ruining our sacred holidays.

Once again proving that Mari Okada is great at hammering out adaptations, even ones with bad source material!
