Yeah it's not very popular in places which contribute $0 on average to the shows they talk about, that's true.
Hey I donate. Crack would be a cheaper hobby for me.

To the surprise of no one, Kaze Tachinu stayed atop the Japanese box office for a 7th straight week beating back Man of Steel, Anohana and Sadako 3D2. It looks to be a clear field until the Wolverine movie in 2 weeks so at worst its gonna be 8 straight weeks at the top.
Anohana is actually the surprise for me since its a limited release but it came in 3rd beating out the first week of the wide release Sadako 3D2. Apparently its been getting rave reviews
The Miyazaki retirement thing apparently boosted Kaze Tachinu's performance starting Monday (not included in the counting for last week)
It's not K-On, is it?!
And maybe this announcement was all a ploy to boost ticket sales...
I don't think Bandai Visual cares when they're selling 40k per volume on DVD/BD before the show ever aired on TV, made tons of money from limited theatrical screenings, selling pamphlet programs, and later on enjoying good ratings on TV as well. Anyone who thinks that Yamato 2199 is "not popular" is only looking at their own narrow myopic view of fandom.
Of course its K-On.
Wow, that was a pretty astounding MAD. Thanks for sharing. I feel a bit ashamed to say I've never heard the name before.
You know, I've never seen Noein, but every fight I've seen from that show looks amazing.

I dunno, maybe it was Clannad or something. lol
SYFY most likely. Like how Iria used to air.

Still upset that we're at the final battle and Kei has still not said a damn thing to Izuru about her feelings.

Clannad movie didn't even break the top 10.
Here's the top 10 openings for late night anime:
1. K-On
2. Anohana
3. Madoka Part 2
4. Madoka Part 1
5. Macross F Part 2
6. Tiger & Bunny
7. Index
8. Disappearance of Haruhi
9. Macross F Part 1
10. Stein's;Gate
Of course alot of this has to do with the number of screens the movies opened at. K-On opened to 124 screens which is waaaay more than 2nd place Tiger & Bunny with 70. Haruhi opened to only 24 screens but its made the 2nd most money at the box office when it was all said and done.
I'm fully aware that no anime studio should really give a shit about overseas sales. It's also impossible and pointless to argue or debate over whether a show would be more popular if done in some what-if scenario. I'm not necessarily advocating what they should be doing but rather jus describing how the release structure almost certainly killed overseas interest. Airing it on Toonami might help in regards to attracting more of the overseas market, both existing anime fans and Toonami fans, but I doubt it'll happen. I'm just slightly disappointed that the show got buried the way it did.
That's why it's $0 on average and not $-300 on average. ;_;

The Clannad movie came out before the TV show and was a totally separate adaptation of the VN, so it doesn't count.

Yes! Precure 5 - 42
*sigh* I was hoping to get through most, if not all, of the remaining Yes! Precure 5 episodes this evening, but after watching just one episode I found myself with a nasty little headache that resulted in me spending three or four hours just lying in bed doing nothing. What a waste of an evening.
Ah well, I can still find time for a couple more episodes!
Ahem. Leaving that Nozomi shot aside...
This was the second episode in a row focusing onyuri shippingtwo of the Cures bonding. Last episode it was Urara and Komachi, and this time it was Rin and Karen.
For some reason Rin seemed extra cute in this episode. Oh, who am I kidding - Rin is always adorable. *hugs Rin* She's got to be my favourite Cure of this series after Nozomi. I was actually hoping to find a specific shot of her being extra adorable from this episode, but looking through it, I couldn't find one that stands out. She's just wonderful in general.
So instead I made a GIF of her amazing smile from the ED, which warms my heart every episode.
...trying to marathon yes precure ??
Do you want an headache ?
Seriously
Also ED2 is nothing but a disapointment , especially since ( if my memory is right ) it's a remake of an already great song in splashstar ruined by too many voices this time.

I'm confused. Am I watching an anime? Or someone's A+ philosophy paper that got lost in the mail and got confused with the script for this show.
Make it happen!
Youre watching one of the best anime series there is period.

Yes Precure 5 isn't that bad to marathon >_>

I was going to ask why Shinobu's so obsessed with donuts, but then I remembered donuts are awesome.
Ah, so Tsukihi is immortal and supernatural, and those two creepy women want to eliminate her because they're the "good guys". So the shoe's on the other foot now, kinda. But Tsukihi was the one who said she was over the whole "Fire Sisters" thing because she didn't really have a sense of what justice and injustice are. I guess that's part of why she's posing as a human in the human world, though there has to be a larger explanation. Either way, I certainly wouldn't call her "evil". That's the problem with doing stuff like this; you can think of yourself as being a hero fighting against evil for righteousness and justice, but you could just be delusional and destroying people out of some warped sense of the world. All that about he who fights monsters and whatnot.

I would hope they put it on some place that actually would air reruns and more than once a week at such a late hour.

Well they need to introduce a new character so there's someone there to die horrifically during the movie.

Why can't it just be Sayaka?
I think I will skip the first two movies and just watch the third one.
I am ok with this!
I am very ok with this! (She looks like Nazuna a bit too)
Urobuchi doesn't need to introduce new characters only to kill them off.
I wish Mari would have died horrifically in the Rebuild movies
Its a anthromorphized Kyubey! You've spoiled the big surprise!

It's just the hair.
You say that now, but 50 minutes into the movie when her eyes suddenly turn red, don't say I didn't warn everyone! >_<
I cant wait for that to happen!

Since Kill La Kill was licensed by Aniplex of America, can we safely assume it's going to simulcast on Crunchyroll?

GURREN LAGANN SPOILERS.
Heh. Maybe they'll pull a Nia with her and she'll end up being
Homura's new motivation that gives back her fighting spirit after Madoka became a god.
"Who the hell do you think I am?!? I'm Homura! Not my best friend Madoka. I AM MYSELF! HOMURA AKEMI!

I just saw the Blazblue anime trailer (yeah I know I'm late), and it looks so good. Great music for the trailer and the fighting in it looks like it's going to be good. If the characters keep their personalities like in the games this could end up being hype-worthy for me.
I'm already hyped for Magi S2 but I might have to add Blazblue into my watch list as well.
