How is that even possible

the revelation that Benten was straight up kidnapped. I guess that's something that Tengu are known for in mythology? I think it's fair to say that she didn't know she was eating his Dad (maybe had no idea Tanuki were intelligent creatures or that Yasaburo was one) and is still completely beat up about it.

I can safely say that I know nothing about these works but anything with Penguin in the title has to be promising.

I know. Still kinda interesting.
Also I really like what they went with. I pretty much only watched this originally because of the Gas Mask designs.
Penguindrum should have dispelled that notion
I haven't seen Star Wars either

I don't get it. Penguindrum was a very promising title!
Dresden's list of Morimi's novels isn't quite complete.
JWiki lists the following other books:
The Fox's Tale (Kitsune no Hanashi) (2006)
Run, Melos! A New Interpretation (2007)
The Art of Writing Love Letters (Koibumi no Gijutsu) (2009)
Yoiyama Kaleidoscope (2009)
A book that I think might be a sequel to Tatami Galaxy that I'd probably call Observations of the Tatami Kingdom (Yojouhan Oukoku Kenbun) (2011)
The Adventures of a Holy Slacker (Seinaru Namakemono no Bouken) (2013)
It's worth noting that Taiyou no Tou ("Tower of the Sun") also won the Japan Fantasy Novel Award on release.
Penguin Highway sounds awesome, incidentally:
Apparently one of the major themes of the novel is the theory of relativity, of course.
Hush, you. You're on The List with darkside and the other Pingdrum haters

Booo it saved anime.
Yeah but it still took half damage.

Why did i have to go and watch the Haruhi Suzumiya movie? I'd have been fine with there being no more anime if i had just finished after the show ended, but since the movie was so good, i must have moar! It also doesn't help that nothing has been made sine the movie years ago either, and looks like nothing will be done.
Like Momoka did when she stopped Sanetoshi during the attacks?

I want to read this yesterday.
Anything with Penguin in the name is something Id like to see!
Star Wars is fairly old. Some people are quite young. Its not completely impossible.
It's not Ikuhara's fault that anime had a few glowing weak points that could be attacked for massive damage.
Is there Haruhi beyond the uhh... uhh... same episode repeated a bunch of times thing? I stopped there and never returned.
haruhi is an endless abyss of the worst anime has to offer

Besides the extremely amazing Disappearance movie that everyone should watch, there's the arc that explains how the film they all filmed got made.
I liked Endless Eight more than that.
Thats saying quite a lot. are you certain?
santeesioux
Member
There's another arc and then the movie. I only watched three of the repeat episodes, i was weak. The show was only average to above average for me, but the movie made it all worth watching.

It wasn't just that he was stronger, it was the "muscles only blacks have," which is a way of thinking lifted straight out of old scientific racism.

To be fair most people haven't actually seen Star Wars but Star Wers, the impostor.
I'm 18, that's not an excuse!
I'll add the movie to my list of things I need to watch then.
That's almost Mr. Popo levels of racism. Almost.
The movie is actually quite good, it's the last thing Takemoto directed before Hyouka.
goodness gracious little one! Are your parents aware that you are using the internet?

Plot is really ramping up now, although I wonder why bother introducing Telulu now? Well we'll see!

Eudial still has some relevence in regards to their machines.
In any case, it's revealed that Professor Tomoe is the owner of MUGEN Academy, which Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru attends, the former two are in as undercover agents.
The Genetic mutation of Daimons are also linked to his abilty of being a genetic engineer.
It was also mean that everyone else must be involved with the Academy.
Mimete dies via having her plug pulled, keeping her in the Shadow Realm forever.

Three years ago there was an accident that left the Professor and Tomoe unscathed, which in a flashback from Hotaru reveals that an entity is possessing her father. I knew he was too down to earth as a villain.

Yeah, if you liked the show at all other than the Endless Eight i'd say the movie is well worth watching.

He's up past his bedtime too.
I just have no interest in the movies. I played Star Wars video games though.

digimon xros wars 1
this is a kids show?
so this show is pretty much nobunaga ambition + voltron. i can dig that.
Show does also seem noticeably better animated than previous ones.
You haven't even arrived to the point where it gets good.
And yeah they have a pretty good animation but like every 50 ep series , there will come the time where it'll be "less good".
If anyone can confirm the playlist from Yoko Kanno's concert at Otakon I will be forever in your debt; I've found one Twitter listing that suggests she played the following but I'd be grateful if someone could say for certain so I can seethe with the correct amount of jealousy while listening to the bootleg of her big 2009 concert...
Tank! (duh)
Chikyuu Kyoumei (omg omg chikyuu kyoumei on piano omg I'm in arjuna fanboy heaven)
Gravity
Memory of Fanelia/Aoi Hitomi
The Real Folk Blues
Rakuen
Power Of The Light
Plus the Star Spangled Banner at the end?

But it's pretty much a nerd rite of passage to have seen at least one of them...

It's also 9 hours long.

The obvious answer is Disney needs to let someone make a real Star Wars anime.
I guess it technically is about as long as watching all of Endless Eight. Still a much better choice, though.

I will mark this as "Probably hasn't actually seen Star Wars"
Shaking my head.
Uchouten Kazoku really hits the spot for me. The mood of the show is so good, and I don't think there's a character that I don't want to know more about. in fact, Yodogawa really reminded me of one of my teachers, the way he acted.
I don't know how the movie was marketed around the time of its release, but the images you get on a simply image search are indeed misleading, to say the least.

Damn, this show is crazy. I thought for sure that this would be a point where Kamina and Simon were left near dead and Kamina begins to reflect on his principles, but Simon ended up bailing them out and they escaped as ultra-bros are wont to do.
Oh, and new friends have shown up. It's a team now.
The next episode better crank it up to 11 with how they're hyping it up.

They left out the best one.
Innocent Green.
That was either after the Arjuna piece or Gravity but I think the former.
Yes she also played the Star Spangled Banner at the end and Tank again for the encore. Also Real Folk Blue was the 2nd to last song.

So you won't believe me if I say that Back to the Future 1&2 (fuck the third one) are some of my favorite movies?

The closest good thing we'll ever get is Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars.
You can't see IV & V and not see VI
Third one is awesome too. You crazy.
A lot of gaf probably is. Buncha rebels!
No Mameshiba no sale!
This is good advice.
