Not me. I'll only believe it when it's playing in my PS3 and the credits are rolling on my HDTV at the end. Until then, it could still be a troll, or an empty case, or a fucked up transfer.

SO, disk error that only plays end credits is OK with you?

On the Takahata front, it's got some inspired choices in the way that music meets visuals - I particularly enjoyed the encounter with the cat - and his familiar slightly "scratchy" visual style. It has a little bit of a low budget feel, but that really only adds to the charm, and because of it the character animation fits in with the rather impressionistic and un-detailed backgrounds. I'd recommend it to any fans of Isao Takahata, or to the ten other people who've seen Night on the Galactic Railroad and Spring and Chaos and are as interested in Kenji Miyazawa as I am.

One of my favorites; the scene with the cat is, indeed, fucking fantastic.

Isn't it though? The cat was my favorite, but all of the animal encounters were really great and each had a unique feel; my only complaint, if you can call it that, is that I wanted about eight more of them. ;_;

I'd probably slot it in as second-favorite Takahata after Only Yesterday, although admittedly I have not yet seen that one movie with the giant raccoon balls. lulz.

Pom Poko is awesome, watch that asap.

Sure, but the initial idea was yours. You planted the seed; we merely watered it and allowed it to grow into a giant venus fly trap. I really feel like it would be cowardly of you to try and back down now and not finish what you've started.

Why'd you have to go and use the C word? Now I have to watch all of it.

Ehh, I thought she had two before as well? Oh well, just shows how unimportant she is to me.
icarus-daedelus said:
OTOH Holo isn't that moe~~~ compared to the rest of them, I mean, she doesn't exactly need protection when she can eat any attacker alive.
Click to expand...
Is that one of the prerequisites of moe? Can't they tell themselves that she's emotionally weak? I mean, why else would a Wolf-deity decide to travel with a human merchant unless she was bored, lonely and suffering from feelings of being rendered obsolete from her village, poor girl just needed a man to save her just like all the other girls just not from monsters or other people.

Finished Bokurano. Wasn't bad, but the manga was far superior. Way too much uninteresting political sidecrap in the anime, plus it was missing a bunch of awesome scenes and just generally wasn't as bleak.

The movie is actually fairly serious business most of the time, kinda weird that way.

Yeah, like, what is going on there?

I'm scared. That character design was slightly worrying, this trailer looks pretty lame.

Nana to Kaoru OAD!
This was so delicious. Listening to Nana do anything was almost too much to bear. There's no way you could watch this in the presence of others with some of the sounds she was making. I wasn't aware before, but apparently there's going to be more of these?

She did, I meant compared to Steven Seagal. Who has one ponytail which remains perfectly preserved in every single scene in every one of his movies.

I see, I find them equally unattractive so I didn't catch that.

Gundamu question: I read on tvtropes that at some point the director of Gundam-ZZ got greenlit for Char's Counter attack and from that point ZZ becomes watchable as it has to set the stage for the awesome sauce. I want to jump straight to what ever episode that is. Anyone know it? I appreciate any help because I can't stand the shift from Zeta to what I am seeing in the first few ZZ episodes.

The first 15 episodes are the wacky bullshit stuff. Episode 16 and on are more serious (no Bright chasing chickens around or other shit like that).

Pretty fun episode, but I don't know how it will go without Kirino. Also I wish that Manami would just go away.

Nichijou will probably be very good, going by the OP and Episode 0. Can't wait.

C trailer looks bad, but it's a badly edited trailer. Not going to deflate my hype because of it.

It's a show about a bunch of dudes with powers and the main character negates other powers and also punches a lot of women. There's a lot of fake Christian symbolism because the author knows nothing about the religion and the female lead is amongst the most annoying characters in any medium. When the action starts, she mostly disappears and the show becomes entertaining.

Index is the main story and Railgun is a spinoff starring an important side character.

It never really becomes good, but it starts turning into something resembling a narrative around episode 17.

Thanks guys. I really dont want to do this . . . Okay follow up question: Can I just skip ZZ and fully enjoy Char's? Does ZZ have any lasting importance on the remaining UC story line?
