Still like the show. Have a terrible feeling the girl will turn out to be a conniving, backstabbing byatch very soon.

That was the first thing I thought when she was introduced. Almost seems a little too obvious, though.
Is it possible to watch and enjoy the movie prior to watching the show?
Or should I at least watch some episodes of the show to get me started?
I do plan on finishing the entire thing, but I'd really like to watch the movie first.
The arc the movie is based on is
Yeah you should be able to. It's a standalone story so the only problem is that you won't know the characters.

I watched the movie after watching the first 10-15 episodes of the new season of Gintama and I was able to get in fine. Even if you don't really know the characters, you soon figure out who the straight man is and so forth.
And, as a self-contained story, it's pretty damn good.
(For reference, the movie is "set" during episodes 56-61 or thereabouts. So a quarter of the way into the "first season").

This must be where firehawk learned to Stop Worrying and Love (awesome) Action sequences.

Awesome being the key word here. At the very least, the action scenes are actually important to the plot/theme of the particular arc!
Actually you could probably say the same thing about all the action scenes you have skipped...
firehawk12
Subete no aware
If I could, I wouldn't have skipped them.

How would you even know if you skipped them to begin with?!

Well, scrub is the more exact term I suppose. That progress bar is really helpful!

Maybe I shouldn't try and make sense of this given that I'm sure not even the writers know what the fuck's going on.
fucking false advertising
If it was Hatsumi writing the anonymous love letters to Hazuki then why didn't she just admit that it was her given Hazuki obviously has feelings for her?????

Wait until you get to the end!
Definitely. The first half is... mostly okay, but the second half is when they caught up with the manga and came up with their own story (except for a couple of reveals they ended up spoiling years in advance for the readers! yay!), and the whole thing derailed completely at that point.
No, there is a reason and that reason will be clear by the end.

Awwwww yeah. That show is something alright!
Really? All I remember from the first episode is having my yuri goggles on max and catchy KOTOKO OP and EDs. I never went back to it though.
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Your yuri goggles would have exploded later on. There's a climatic event later on in the series that is awesome for how insane it is.

I really look forward to wonzo getting to the best parts of KnM.
Alright, you just sold me on Kannazuki no Mio, despite my backlog and common sense telling me not to.
My yuri goggles better explode.
firehawk12
Subete no aware
Trust me. They will explode so hard, you'll think Strawberry Panic is classy.
Basically, it has lesbians (and mecha, but no-one cares about those) and is very melodramatic about it. The important part is that it has lesbians, and makes a big deal about that; every single piece of promotional art is LOOK AT THE LESBIANS AND THEIR TORTURED LOVE!!!, and this even extends to the OP of the show (which reveals every single plot point of the show with quite spectacular obviousness).
Quite why there's a male "romantic interest" I never really understood.
The main reason for the show's notoriety is an event two-thirds of the way through which, without spoiling anything, is controversial for reasons legal and moral. Because I am a judgemental bastard, I think it reveals rather more about the viewer than it should do depending on your reaction to it.

That is truly the best part of the show and makes it worth sitting through the entire thing though. lol

One of the best gags on the show, created by one of the best characters on the show.
Simply uttering the name provides him much nourishment and reassurance!

Well she certainly is cuter than other western faux moe representations.
Just so you can see what I mean, the MC has this expression on practically every panel, even during the serious moments:
Oh good, so he doesn't look like an idiot all the time in the anime? I'll have to pick up Sankarea now.
I didn't know, haha. Sorry Icarus.
So okay, probably no-one cares by now but with the help of some friends a method for grabbing BrightCove protected videos (which mostly seems to be anime trailers) has been found.
Here's the Fate/Zero season 2 trailer: http://www.mirrorcreator.com/files/XAQG7FPQ/fatezeropv03.flv_links
(EDIT: ignore all the ads that say click here to download, the real links are in the table at the bottom)
Anybody got any other trailers of this type they want extracting?

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18780843/emot/clap.gif[IMG] i can't even begin to imagine the budget for this[/QUOTE]
I don't see what you mean.
No need be so fast guys, the shows ain't going to disappear! Well, unless production or licensee companies start tanking or something like that... welp, with this unstable economy you never know when...
Spot on here, pizzaroll!
As I see it; imagine Yuki suffering those anxiety moments in a more straightforward and dramatic way, without his voice off explaining his feelings, or that drowning images. I think that this could break the continous happy feeling the series gives.
However, presented like this is more inmersive and helps to show better the way he leaves that desperation experimenting the joy of fishing for the first time, and as I said previously his problems seem more "inoffensive" (more wacky) as well. It also makes for sudden and intelligent change of cuts to make the scenes more dynamic when it happens (Yuki saying goodbye to his previous classmates, for example).
I have the general idea that visualizing it on this simple manner makes you more familiar and comprehensive with his situation.
the budget saving measures (the lack of a background for example) employed in this show are so amazing it makes the repeated animation in utena or some of the shit they pulled in eva look like child's play. it's the ultimate "DEEN" show
