Neither do I. It sounds objectively wrong!Lafiel said:
Wrong facts!
No no, Howl's should be everyone's least favourite film! Ponyo doesn't go anywhere because it has no plot or motivations really. It's just a series of fantastical and beautiful events, such is Senilezaki.KuwabaraTheMan said:

I loved that show up till the final showdown. Then I hated it with the fiery radiance of a thousand suns.

In the end, surprisingly, yeah. The girls weren't hung up Menma though. They were hung up on the dudes that were hung up on her. Yukiatsu was the only who's reason was completely unbelievable. However long crush? Yeah right. An inferiority complex would've been much more believable.
Ano Hana 11
That was a solid finale, everything wrapped up pretty nicely. I would have liked a better ending montage though. Overall I liked the show, other than a few bad spots along the way it was an enjoyable drama. It could have been better though, the potential was there.

FIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRR. Hlysht, I was enjoying it at first, but they really went all out with it. And Selveria is a damn snoooooze. Jesus, don't even give her dickwhipped ass any screen-time, damn. Maximilian this, Lord Maximilian that. I didn't get to the point in the game where she broke out of that, so I don't exactly know if she ever does, but I'm definitely hoping that's the case. My sanity while watching this show depends on it.

Well, as expected that was a bad and somewhat stupid ending to a show that had gone off the rails sometime ago. I'd like to say the worst offender was that scene where everyone shouted about their own, and others peoples feelings, but that went on for a half an episode. If your script ever looks like this please throw it in the bin because it's insulting.
I'd also like to complain about the cheap and lazy ploys used in this episode to make the audience "feel bad" but as they were dolled out with such speed and veracity I can no longer separate them into distinct events that could be noted and recorded. These ploys were so constant that it would be easier to talk about the times they weren't in use.

With the mainstream family audience who are Ghibli's bread and butter? Absolutely. Bluray is on the rise, but DVD is still something that every single person has.

ah, I guess I haven't told the story over here. I sold my PS3 because I needed the cash, and while I was using it, it wasn't my main platform of choice. I do plan to get another though. Probably when school picks back up.
I've been told that I should just wait till I get the game again, and forget about the show. I am completely seeing why. lol. I'm too big of a sucker for something that's sitting right in front of me though.

Air Gear: Break on the Sky 3
Totally awesome. Seeing the best parts of the virtual match animated was really something. The one on one parts were crazy and we even got to see some of Agito's fight with Orca. This really makes me want another season

Evil... I went in expecting to laugh, came out emo.
Branduil said:
They actually clarified that too. Nobody was respecting him initially except poppo who hadn't seen him in forever--not knowing what he had become, and Anaru who was crushing on him. Tsuruko was just going along with his plan to irk Yukiatsu, even going as far to say she was just using the lump of lethargy. Yukiatsu, who was going along with it because of his jealousy and implied inferiority complex, then noted that, unconsciously, they had all fallen into his game. That wasn't plot magic. That was actually woven together pretty well.
e: And to actually expand up that, they all mentioned how their respect for him came back as they saw how hard he was working to grant Menma's wish.

Here's all you need to know about why Sailor Moon S is the best season.

icarus-daedelus said:I dunno why you'd watch the VC anime. The game is so much fun and has such a great aesthetic regardless of your thoughts on the story sections.
Well, I s'pose not having a PS3 is a pretty good reason. Still.
It's because I like the story sections! lol. It's the only reason I would subject myself to this.

I'm so thrilled that with time and reflection people have rightfully recognized Sailor Moon S as the pinnacle of the anime. There was a brief time around the turn of the millennium where people were lavishing that praise upon the pacing disaster that was Sailor Stars. Praise that was indeed misplaced.cj_iwakura said:

I don't want to say this was a bad show because it had some neat ideas going for it but there was most definitely some wasted potential that went terribly unfulfilled. To think this was by the same guy behind Mononoke, it's a real shame.
And that ending. Even when taking into account that most anime endings are lacking, to say the least, this ending was shithouse, plain and simple.
Some sweet animation in that final ep, though.

Yukiatsu was still jealous of his relationship with Menma, sure, but he definitely came around to Jintan at the end. The hug, smile, and calling him leader without a hint of sarcasm showed that.
Menma, Poppo, and Anaru were never against him, really, and only gravitated all the more towards him once they saw that (1) he wasn't crazy and (2) how capable he still was.
Tsuruko would be the only one that I would say never aired her updated opinion, but if you think about it, her story dealt nothing with him. So I'm not all that surprised that the writers felt it unnecessary to revisit her thoughts on him.
I'm forgetting exactly what episode 9 dealt with...
E: Saw your edit. lol, I'm feeling the same way, man. It's still fun to debate though.

Ano Hana Episode 11 Finale Quite a tear jerker. The montage could have elaborated on everyone else better, but it wrapped it up nicely.

Some seriously epic stuff happening in Gosick this week, can't wait for the conclusion next week. At bare minimum at least one show seems to be heading to a satisfying conclusion this season.
That was completely plot magic. What was the underlining reason for that acknowledgment? In Episode 10, he was ready to stop Jintan's prevention.Miri said:
They were never against him, but there's no reason to respect him again since the time they were kids for them to as he is now when the only thing significant they've seen from him was building up a fund for the fireworks project. And what was he capable of? Wasting 9 episodes to prove Menma's presence? Only for Menma to do so?
Because they dropped her plot point and her relationship with Anaru since Episode 2 and arguably Episode 4 since the BBQ. For melodramatic purposes, her confession to Anaru was stilted in Episode 11.
I just don't feel the show is worth voicing these antagonistic feelings I have against it because it is large, so I wanted to stop this from even occurring as I thought better of it. I only finished the last two episodes of Ano Hana because of someone's insistence.
