You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
You know what used the two-opposing sides structure to great effect? The first half of Hozuki no Reitetsu 5.
Community's still funny? that's news to me!

I was just going off of information from Google searching "Usagi Drop 35mm film" and found a few results here and there like this.
http://showgate.jp/en/archive_films/archive_films.html
Other films besides Bunny Drop have 35mm listed, while a couple list digital.

One Piece 632
Sanji, I'm so proud of you.
Who cares about a little stabbing? You go ahead and follow your heart.
And damn Violet looks fiiiiiiiiiiiine.
Would place her in my personal top 10 One Piece women.
At least the jokes are about a somewhat humorous alien race that doomsday-ed themselves over a stupid argument about shirts or pants. Beats Twitter jokes and moe boobie decoy jokes.
I'm talking about animation. Of course it's still possible to shoot live action in 35mm. Getting much harder, but still possible. I meant that it's actually impossible to make animation these days with actual film. The entire process is too reliant on digital materials.

You're certainly right, it is a step in the right direction, I suppose, but I found that previous episode was better and that wasn't even really about jokes!
In short, Space Dandy > Space Dandy (sometimes).
Hell yes

Is the song called Robotto Kazoku? If not no sell
The good news is probably that we won't have to deal with another "stupid" episode again until ep9. If all the stupid episodes were like ep6 or better, I would be pretty okay with it. Just as long as we don't slip back down into ep1-3 territory again.
Next week we have mechs in a deadly space race, from the director and main animators of Code Geass. Can't possibly not be entertaining!

Sitting Together! Robot Family
So actually yes.
Only for cutting it up and giving it away with theater tickets or blurays.
People really ought to check out the documentary Oga Kazuo Exhibition - The One Who Painted Totoro's Forest. I know it's mainly background work, but I think it has a neat segmet where it shows how they did a pan with cels and any an example with layers moving at different speeds. It looks like such a pain in the ass, I have no idea why anyone would want to do that.

I will take your word for it as I am by means a video expert. I just found it fascinating that Bunny Drop might have been animated this way.
It's a shame the whole series was not animated in the artistic style used in the cold openings though.

Ojamajo Doremi ♯ - Episodes 41-49 [END]
A brilliant end to a amazing series. The last 4 episodes were absolutly perfect and it definately was a better end to the series than the first series. It showed how much they cared about Hana, doing things that would put themselves at risk in order to protect her
.
Episode 44 was pretty good as well and was tonal shift from last series' more happy Christmas episode. This one was more emotional but this time focusing on all of the ojamajo instead of just one of them. I loved Pop's piano recital which was a great follow up to Episode 40.
Also I may have mentioned this before but Oyajide is an awesome villain and I would say he's my favourite character. I hope he appears more in Motto. I just love how he can switch from a confedant swarmy aristocrat to bumbling Onpu obsessed old man in no time at all.
So yeah on to Motto now!

You know, if anime publishers did what the LWA2 kickstarter did and offered randomized genga with special edition releases, I would probably be too weak to stop myself from purchasing at least one JP volume of something I really love every now and again.

Diamond no Ace Episode 18:
The smile of Tachi will forever haunt my nightmares. Also this was never about the game, the score doesn't matter, this was about testing the mettle of the rookies at high levels of fatigue and seeing how well they held up and how much they have to go, which is quite a bit.

Here's an explanation from a recent Crunchyroll article about it:
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-ne...ouples-snow-storm-interview-inspires-new-meme
Though it seems the interview and screencap are from January 2013? Not sure what's going on really or how it got picked up virally and became a meme now...
Comes out March 5 in Japan. Not sure when Aniplex will bring it here, I hope it's soon.

Gatchaman Crowds 1-12: Series Review
So a whole series later, Hajime's character grew on me a bit. I still find her character itself extremely annoying and a contrast to all of the other Gatchaman, which even if her character not being a regular protagonist was the point it didn't help. But I appreciated what she meant to the team as a whole and how she changed them.
The series itself was apparently a commentary on social media, internet use and how they affect society (or a possible future if we continue down this path). I liked the idea of GALAX before it went batshit insane, so I wouldn't mind a future like that honestly. The use of 3d models for the Gatchaman was surprisingly great as it contrasted how ridiculous they're supposed to be to regular folks.
As to the characters themselves, my favorite characters had to be Joe, OD and Paiman
Joe because of his cool disillusion with humanity and
suicidal tendencies
ultimate badass nature in the last episode
Finally I need to talk about the villain. This has been one of the most fantastic villains I've seen recently in anime. Just pure playful insane evil, and the voice acting really sold me over making him/her likable in the pure insanity.
I gotta give the series a solid 7.5/10. I personally would have liked more battles but I'm looking forward to the next season. Now to figure out
who Hajime was talking to at the end

And after all that work I did to make it happen smh.
Might as well watch it yourself then form your own!
Sounds like you didn't watch the director's cut finale, which... actually has the ending in it. Lol.
Fresh Precure! 14
Inori can talk to animals now? That's awesome. Also red herrings abound about who's going to be the fourth Cure. Kaoru-chan would clearly be the greatest choice though XD Hey, it would make up for the other Kaoru never being made an official Cure back in Splash Star! =p

If you get a craving, just watch Wandering Son again.
I should do that and maybe pick up the six translated manga volumes that are available now. Reminds me that I should read my reflection paper that incorporated Wandering Son back from college, that is if I can find the file in the numerous flashdrives I used back then.
God forbid
If this game didnt have kuroyukihime in it I wouldnt care at all.
The only recent metal gear game I know anything about is rising which is the only good one.

If it's not the one currently in Crunchyroll then no. But I figured out what went on after I thought about it a bit more. Is the ending not the one with the flash forward?
5 hours and 41 proper size pages later.
Then the 2nd episode rolls around and despite keeping somewhat of the new girl angle, it devolves into boring wacky high school hijinks.
Also both madp and Branduil haven't watched Mushishi? Sad times.
I pretty much agree with you on this. The first episode, while it had humour, focused a lot more on the uncertainty of a new person being a new environment.
Then the 2nd episode rolls around and despite keeping somewhat of the new girl angle, it devolves into boring wacky high school hijinks.
It's alright, there's some nice bits but the plot has a bit of a incomprehensible ending and despite having a female lead, she gets fuck all development and more time is spend on the pretty boy voiced by Miyano.
Despite my complaints about some parts of it, I can pretty much guarantee that you will enjoy this film. Purely because the little sister character that appears is fucking adorable.
Also both madp and Branduil haven't watched Mushishi? Sad times.

Now that I'm finished with Gatchaman and other relatively smaller shows in my list I wanted to watch, now it's time to see what to watch next. Currently I have
Tegami Bachi Letter Bee, Senyu and Natsume Yujin-cho to start and watch alongside other shows I'm currently watching (currently airing stuff, SKET Dance and FMP)
I already know Natsume is supposed to be really good, but that one is like 50+ episodes, same with Tegami Bachi Letter Bee. Senyu has 20 something episodes so it seems like it'd be the shortest to finish. Are Tegami Bachi or Senyu any good? Haven't heard anything over the former before and the latter seems to be comedy which I can usually watch with no issues.
