You've watched the Bakeneko arc from Ayakashi, right? Otherwise there's nothing quite like Mononoke. Well, Hakaba Kitarou does seem a bit like Mononoke from the little I've seen of it.
Beautiful. Will buy.

But it's FUN!
There are a ton of off-screen photos showing the animated promo video here: http://www.4gamer.net/games/161/G016181/20120630017/
It's definitely not an anime proper, just an promotional video which will likely end up being used as the opening video or something.

I did and I enjoyed it. When I mentioned Mononoke, I meant the mystery aspect of the show, rather than the wonderful art. I loved watching it at night.
Artbook looks wonderful.
Aw, yeah. You're most definitely right.
I was hoping for a 20-min episode.
Well, at least it looks cool. I like this shot:
I like this shirt. It's obvious enough for those who are also familiar with the show but subtle enough for non-anime followers to not think twice about it.
Words on tshirts hardly ever work, but goodness that wording is terrible.

Well, Mononoke is one of the greatest anime ever made, so finding something at that level is a bit difficult. I've only seen the first couple minutes of Hakaba Kitarou, but I do think it might satisfy you - it was Toei's follow up noitamina show to Mononoke and appears to have a similar dark supernatural mystery vibe and approach with an excellent visual style. Otherwise, you may have watched these as well but Boogiepop Phantom and Vampire Princess Miyu TV come to mind.
Oh, Japan-exclusive games, you.

You seem to be confused. That was a video for EX Troopers which has a solid chance of being localized and not one of Monster Hunter 4 which has a 0% chance of being localized.
I really do like NISA box sets. I wish they could do one for Tsuritama, I like the art style of the series.

That was an actually cool episode.

Kazumu should have stayed at Holy, he got along so great with everyone and even Ryuho.
I wouldn't hold my breath for either.
Capcom did file trademarks for EX Troopers in the US and Europe so it might come out.

I will check it out.
Thanks.
Keep in mind that, while Ano Natsu has multiple similarities with the shows you listed, it's very different in terms of tone.
Make this as a female t-shirt instead for more interesting results.

Figured they'd get Estetica...wanted a few better announcements :/
Here's all the new home release stuff too:
- Aria the Scarlet Ammo
- Jormungand
- Blood-C and Blood-C: The Last Dark
- Michiko & Hatchin
and a couple other things I didn't feel were worth mentioning here; check the link for them.

Huh. I guess I'll watch the first episode at least.

Fantasy RPG show that suffers from flashes of light. How fun.
Surprised they got the rest of rights for Aria the Scarlet Ammo.
Do you mean in terms of plot or visual style? Those 3 have similarities in both. Madoka Magica is the best Shaft-style show.

Gintama 6
A story between
It's played like a typical episodic plot of its standing. There's some comedy here and a settling moment for the "Client of the week" there.
A story between
a father. his daughter and his word.

Subete no aware
Natsu no Arashi. It's basically the same show, but, in my opinion, even better.
(Also, for some reason I find myself as the hype machine for this show... hopefully someone else can take over once people start watching it. lol)

Suzumiya Haruhi no Shoushitsu
So the last Haruhi related thing that will probably be made. And, it was fantastically done. I mean sure the almost three hour run time was pretty off putting and it did basically take a whole afternoon to watch it, it was still very nicely done. It was very nice visually, the music was really good and fit the tone of the movie really well.
The first part of the movie was basically watching Kyon break down from having things suddenly change. The whole time I was asking why didn't he ask Nagato immediately?
But, I really liked the focus the second part of the movie gave to Nagato. It really developed a character that is normally in the background of the show and really made me understand her actions of the show.
Great movie and I can totally see why KyoAni didn't make this as normal episodes.
Star of the movie, folks.

If anything, I would have been ok if Kyon just stayed in the other world with that Nagato.

Seitokai Yakuindomo 4
After 4 episodes I can say that this is not a particularly funny show. A lot of their skits just fall flat and I find myself wondering what was the joke. However, it's not boring and I don't see myself dropping it at all. I guess I have something for an anime about girls saying the craziest things.
I do like how their previews say how many pages they are covering and from what volume. I want more anime to do this.

Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Adolescence of Utena
After postponing watching this for so long, I finally did it.
I'm amazed. Amazed by how much it fucked with my brain, I'm still not sure about certain things; amazed by how much deliciously yuri it was: the closing scene, the bedroom scene, the garden scene, the sketching scene, the fleeing scene; amazed by the music, the way it was used mostly, which also made it feel better compared to the TV show for me.
Utena
was a great WTF moment.
I think I prefer movie Anthy to TV Anthy, while movie Utena loses to TV Utena for me, but with short hair she's pretty cute.
Oh, and there was so little of Akio that I was overjoyed, and what little there was, made for a pretty entertaining/wtf watch.
The Nanami cameo was funny, and I think I only now got who Chuchu was... or maybe I forgot before.
Anyways, great movie that managed to surpass my expectations, as it looked pretty good for my standards and even the dub was great. Best 2,61€ I ever spent.
I think I should track down the manga next and read that.

turning into a car, and the whole car chase

Then you should read "The Disappearance of Yuki Nagato-chan" manga.
I would, but I feel like someone needs to give Arakawa Under the Bridge some love.

They do.
Michiko & Hatchin is the real news here! I'd really like to hear why this was in licensing limbo for 4 years. That show could have been huge

Another Crunchyroll license.
Only shows left are Chitose Get You!!, So, I Can't Play H!, Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita, Kokoro Connect, Tari Tari, and Sword Art Online.

An entry in a massive franchise from the 50s was the followup to something from 2007?
