Come on guys, Hosoda is an up and coming director who already enjoys commercial success. He'll continue making movies regularly for the foreseeable future, and the best is yet to come. Okiura on the other hand might never direct another movie again after this. It's now or never. Have some pity!

I think Momo has, if not necessarily better, than certainly somewhat more consistent animation than Wolf Children - there're some pretty bad looking CG crowds toward the beginning of Wolf Children that're pretty easy to forget about by the time you get to the end of the movie.
I'm ugly? You should have told me this sooner.

Frau is really the best female character, all of her comments, desires, and then the images on her computre, wish they went in closer for the middle monitor, only a small part of the 1TB BL folder.
Subaru was funny with that line about the photoshoot of Yashio in his birthday suit, and then his awkwardness and blushing
Its gotten really suspenseful and such, even found myself jump at one point.

That story following after the urban legend when their phone ring I had jumped. That was just one crazy story about the 13 people that died so the last episode of Gunvarrel couldnt air. I assume its somehow connected to the other thing of the song that was playing. Scarily interesting.

Why isn't this show just Mamoru Miyano character showcast minutes?

Aight, I'll watch it after I finish Haibane. Also dat Suga Shikao opening...
I... I thought we were nakama.
I found these way more amusing than I probably should have.
While I completely disagree for the most part, it did feel like Diebuster belonged in a completely different franchise.
Yep, Diebuster was way more emotional for me.

FFFFUUUUUU it was painfully obvious from the get go but for some reason i still had some sense of surprise. I hope we get a 40 thieves reference.
I don't know what it is about this series but it's just something really fun to watch. The characters, the setting it's just clicked for me. I guess i still have a soft spot for shounen. I'm excited to see where this arc is going and how the three will deal with each others respective goals. I liked that they introduced Sinbad a seemingly badass, king of the dungeon clearers just to have him lose all his seven artifacts offscreen. Tropes like that never get old.
It's tempting to read the manga especially when i've read a lot of praise for it but at the moment i'm more than happy following the anime.
I'm so confused.
RandomC does not like hot linking apparently, who'd have thought.

In my defence, I've only watched it once.
Hmm i'll admit i have not heard such great things about it and while i applaud you kind stranger for trying to steer me in the right direction i'll probably still watch it just to see how bad, if at all it is. In my experience being an anime fan can be a lot like a deer caught in headlights.
So 90s.
I wonder if you folks remember or heard of a play called "Passing Strange"? My goal one day is create a play just like it but with all of the tropes you know from anime and north american animation.
who knows...maybe it will be the great 21st century play - but then again all dreams end badly

[C] is quite fun, cool main character, great looking attack and attack names, and really thought provoking. Just rewatched it two or three weeks ago.

Rinne no Lagrange OVA: Kamogawa Days
Although got Kirius, Array (and some non maid outfit), and Izo screentime it was a pretty bad ova. Confused how they have an ova of something that is in the mecha genre but features no mecha action, and worst feels like some huge advertisement to show off the beauty of Kamogawa
. Sure I chuckled and laughed at some of it, but mostly it was all the stuff I disliked in the tv anime just spread over 43 minutes...
. 4/10.
Backgrounds looked amazing most of the time.

That replica in Polyhedron even
sure friendship stuff but they like never meet madoka at all and worst, why would I want to care about the friendship between three unappealing characters?

This is entirely unpossible.

Surprisingly fun episode. Bring me more
robot battles and hot onee-san and I'll warm up to this eventually.
It looks like NIS America's upcoming holiday sale (Nov. 26) will also include anime, so keep your calendars marked.
Wouldn't mind some premium box sets in the $30 - $40 range.

I don't hand our pity prizes.
As long as your expectations are in the low end, then I've done my part.
What annoyed me most about it was the region locking, such wasted potential.

After all the action, time for some political mingling. Also nice bit of historical background.
I distrust Oberstein. Something about him seems off. Kircheis feels it too.
Interesting backflash showing another motivation for Reinhard's immensely ambitious goal.

All you gotta do is order at least $60 worth of in-stock stuff at once. Shouldn't be a problem for you.

I ate your country last night.
Hmm i'd probably jump on Arakawa and Natsume for the right price. They will probably never come out in the UK anyway.
No worries, it's not high on my list.

Dem Prinny Dices. Amazingly those would be an awesome Christmas present for my brother.
Do you want the same ending?

Yeah, but that doesn't mean anything. lol
I mean, Hyouka is the show to hate because it's KyoAni after all!
My main criticism of the show is that it feels like a book instead of a television series. Treme/The Wire gets similar criticism, in that each episode doesn't have an "arc" as we understand it, but the pacing isn't as off because they have an hour to work with.
Having to pause every 20 minutes because of the artificial limits of anime broadcasting just ruins it. The fact that they have to run 2 minutes of recap at the start of each episode is just icing on the cake.
Which begs the question - why does anime have to fit into a 30 minute timeslot anyway? Jdramas get a full hour(ish), why not anime?
Gurren Lagan episode 6 is the most amazing use of fan-service in my entire life. An entire episode in which the vast majority of the cast is buck-naked or near to it.
Oh, and one unwelcome child's uncensored genitals.
Also, the Yoko-Kamina shipping is in full-swing in this episode, and I welcome it with open man-arms.

Given that some anime barely make the deadline each week (bluray updates), I can only imagine that hour weekly anime would start basically being storyboards.

It's actually my favorite of Nakamura's works, with Tsuritama coming in at 2nd.
That being said, I don't like anything else from him, so it might not be a good idea to listen to me.
