I love her
Same here. Ironically I found this song on the 4th of July. Go figure.
My friend came over last night (we are going to watch E3 all day today and tomorrow), and so we watched Millennium Actress. This was my second time seeing it, and was his first time. He too loved it, and was left speechless by the end of the film.
For me, it was such a joy watching it a second time. I really can't believe how perfect this movie is (in terms of the structure/pacing and editing). And godammnit, I just love the story/theme being told. The end got me both times.
So I have to thank GAF again for recommending one of the best movie's I've ever seen.

The Kuroken (Haikyuu!!) looks good only an episode to go!

The beauty contest was interesting. Especially the friendship tornado. I think the final girl has been introduced, presumably the idol. I think that's the last trope to fill. Well besides an actual yandere

Yep, it makes sense that Seitokai Yakuindomo probably wouldn't be licensed over more direct perverted series. Also probably the reason why Binbougami ga! got licensed and Seitokai no Ichizon has not, as the former has much more fanservice than the latter despite both being comedies using the occasional reference to another anime. Just have to hope a BD-box may appear for the two TV series and maybe even the current OVAs.
I am glad B Gata H Kei was licensed because I probably would have overlooked it. Whenever I had watched it in the past I always had the problem of choosing whether to watch the Japanese or English track as I truly enjoyed both Yukari Tamura and Brittany Karbowski as Yamada.
Hopefully one day. Ive seen more impossible things happen.

I APPROVE OF YOUR AVATAR SO MUCH SO MUCH SO MUCH SO MUCH MUCH MUCH

Oh lord, they need help. Like bullet to the brain help.
Kinda feel like to makeup for lack of 3 distinct timelines from Baccano, they decided to throw additional 15 characters just to make things more confusing. Kida's a great and funny character and I look forward to more episodes focused on him.

Durarara shouldve really focused on cat helmet waifu and her clingy scientist husbando instead of the three boring high school kids. Or at the very least on the bartender berserker.
No seriously fuck those high school kids.

One of the better Gundam series imo.

I agree, even though I also think that it's pretty low bar to clear because Gundam shows are pretty bad in general.

In the world of anime podcasts, newcomer GME! Anime Fun Time hasn't been particularly interesting so far because they've just been covering super popular titles that I don't think lend themselves to an interesting discussion e.g. Attack on Titan and Kill la Kill. This month however they've broken away from that format to talk about a show which deserves some more attention, The Tatami Galaxy.
It's a pretty good listen all in all, even though the spoil the heck out of the show I don't think that should put anyone off. Anyway I hope this podcast continues to explore ground that's not being covered by every other anime podcast.
Also, it gives me a good reason to post Tatami's OP and ED again:

Love Live! S2 10
Making the aftermath of the preliminaries more of a heart-to-heart moment with the leader of A-RISE wasn't the expected direction, but the way the previous episode was set up suggested that nobody else really stood a chance. I think they may actually make it to the Love Live this time around. The Honoka Market scene with the mochi was kinda cute, and I've always been a sucker for those "everyone's working together" moment. It speaks to the good part of the human spirit, as long as I can sense some heart behind it. And Love Live has had plenty of that.
Glad to see the show itself acknowledging Nozomi/Nico. They're this show's Azusa/Chihaya... at least in terms of bust.

Love Live! S2 - 10
Welp, Love Live!'s best thing going for it is now gone. Seriously, no competing song from A-Rise and a fucking timeskip? I don't know whether to be angry or disappointed (maybe both) in this episode. What's the purpose of building A-Rise as the group's primary competitor when at the end they don't even get shown putting up a competition? This turn of events reeks of amateur plot writing: "Uhhh, μ won because... PLOT!"
I don't even...

I dropped Nadia. Shouldn't have picked this up, I remember loving this as a kid, but now... meh.
Meanwhile Haikyuu!! continues to be fairly good, solid production values (I guess the fujoshi money from Kurokok went here, the series may still have some utility after all) and a great cast of characters.

I'll be giving this a listen when I get home later tonight. I'm interested in anything Tatami Galaxy related.
Speaking of podcasts and The Tatami Galaxy, Funimation gave some mixed signals about a release in ANN's podcast. Someone asked about Ping Pong, and they said "If you want more things like Ping Pong, watch Ping Pong". When asked about The Tatami Galaxy, they laughed and said "We've already answered that".
Not sure if that's an outright "no", or a "maybe if Ping Pong does well".

Ah, good, I was looking for something to go with the Black Selena III I don't have.

Maki was cute in her kimino as were all the 3rd years. Eri's sister was also cute

I quite like the blond kid so far. Next to the other two, he's a vulcan of energy and makes their scenes bearable. And yeah Shizu-chan is awesome.
To Heart 2 11-13
I liked episode 11. Lots of Tamaki, and it did what I liked the best - bruought all the girls together. Overall, the show felt a lot like the first To Heart, but with some differences. The tone was a bit lighter, the girls a bit wackier, and the show didn't end on a love triangle. The callbacks to the first season small and non-intrusive. (The translator's notes on the other hand, pointed out some obvious things, including a few of the callbacks. Let the viewers figure that out for themselves.) Konomi's confession of love wasn't quite as forward as Akari's, but it ends on a note that suggests that Konomi may have won, but it'll always be Tama in the minds of the fans. I found the first To Heart got better once the show introduced all of its cast and was able to shuffle them in new and interesting ways in Remember my memories, so perhaps the OVAs will do the same here.
There's enough of them that they're a de facto second season. In the end, my thoughts remain the same. A charming little show that emphasizes friendship over romance, with one breakout character that makes the whole thing worth it. Seeing the style of animation evolve throughout these various installments has also been fun on a meta level.

I love grumpy Nico even more than ultra-cute Nico.

Is that 51.7% the 200~ people who bought the BDs?
What am I supposed to be seeing here?
If nothing else I like how in both pics the two best girls are at the forefront.
The fact that of the people who watched the NicoNico C3-bu marathon, only half of those that bothered to rate the show at the end said they really liked it.
yes
