AnoHana 4 was great. I had a feeling it could be
creepy guy going around dressed as Menma
, but thought it would be a bit strange, yet it was exactly that.
Jinta was a bit more manly in this situation, especially in the first half and I liked that.
Still, Poppo+Menma > all.

Guys, when do you think they will stop putting Anime Locelised DVDs out there? I love my DVD collections and don't want this medium to go all digital, but I think it will....

Well, technically this arc goes on for like 20 episodes but it's the best arc and the princess might actually be a better character than Youko by the end of it all, although not as bad ass as Youko.
It's really a special day when I can say "mAcOdIn, I completely agree with your point old chap."

This was really good. Why is Ando wasting his time at PA Works making crap stuff like Canaan and Hanasaku Iroha? He should direct a TV series at BONES with lots of sweet action or something.
I guess it's like duckroll has suggested, he wants some variety. I'd like to see a man with his talents directing some more drama type stuff. We need more "real" directors working in TV.

So is Erio gonna act more normal now and spend more time outside the futon? Cause, I won't lie, that'll be kind of a downgrade.

Well, at least this show is being consistent, in all areas. Hopefully it will hold up, given the shows short running time.

I feel that, even if some of the character actions taken in this show are rather extreme, the presentation of them is not especially melodramatic. The show handles rather out-there concepts in a fairly grounded manner.

I'm not especially sure where they are going to go from here and I'm still annoyed that Jintan hasn't taken advantage of any of his ample opportunities to provide evidence for the existence of Menma but that's a semi-minor annoyance.
 
I don't think it will come to that at all. There will be less drama if that happens. I believe the group will end up believing in him at the end without any proof.

Will the group want to grant her wish knowing she would disappear right after knowing she was there the whole time? Creepy raper boy gives me doubts and Jinta hasn't apologized to Menma yet at all, he suspects that she appeared because of his regret.

I have a feeling that near the end Jinta wouldn't want to grant her wish fearing she might disappear.
 
Index II 21

Accelerator was pretty awesome in this ep. Dude force pushes a building into an even bigger building to let off steam.

Though to be perfectly honest, I was more interested in Tsuchimikado's fight. Those pillars were awesome. Too bad the fight got cut off after a few minutes.

Also, Fuze Kanzaki's face is REALLY disturbing.

Is it a record low? How did the show backfire so horribly?

Because the sales figures are hilarious given the background to shows production and director Yutaka Yamamotos grandiose claims prior to the show airing (including promising to retire if the show wasn't a major hit).

The sales figures aren't actually that uncommonly low. There's always a couple of shows a season which fluctuate between having extremely low numbers, to numbers so low they don't get reported, particularly now sales are split across DVD and BR. They just aren't normally shows with quite so high a profile (though they usually are noitamaina shows!)

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Kaiba and Michiko to Hachin makes me a sad.

Very disappointing. Michiko to Hachin clearly could have appealed to some Westerner somewhere, but that would have take some marketing.

Just bought Tekkonkinkreet on Blu-ray for $10. I don't really like the art style of the movie but at that price it's hard to not give it a shot!

Amazon has it at that price for those interested.

e: bought Summer Wars for $16.50 and preordered the Cowboy Bebop movie for $12.99. All at Amazon too.
