This is pretty weird. It seems 1-2 hours ago all of Japanese news sites were carrying article which says Toho has delayed the release of Takahata's Kaguya-hime film to Fall 2013, while Miyazaki's film remains on track for Summer. But now all the sites have been pulled. Misinformation? Leak?

??????????????????????????????????

I'm gonna assume I'm super late with this and duckroll has already informed you guys about the bad news but Yahoo! News Japan has the Takahata story.

IT'S GONNA BE DELAAAAAAYED!!!!!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Isao Takahata's Kaguya Hime will now open in the Fall instead of the Summer. There is no effect on Hayao Miyazaki's Kaze Tachinu's Summer opening.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-02-04/isao-takahata-kaguya-hime-film-delayed-to-this-fall

"TOHO noted that it contacted Studio Ghibli at the beginning of this year and received information that the film's storyboards have not yet been completed. TOHO then decided to postpone the release date in order to raise the film's quality even higher."

ROFLMAO wut?

Senran Kagura Bean Sprouts 5

Have you heard the good news about bean sprouts?
Wow, they really cranked it up this episode. Best episode since the first one, definitely looks like they were saving their budget for this episode, and hopefully for the next one. The fact that they're already doing the one on one fight with their rivals, I wonder where they go after this. I haven't really read up on the game's plot, so I'm completely clueless. It makes me excited though!
Fun show is fun.

Glad you finally saw it! Sooo good.

====================

Love Live - 05

One of the better episodes from the show so far. The facial expressions really add to the humor of the show and does an excellent job of bringing life into the characters.

That's not jealousy.

Shut it you!

On another note, does anyone know if IHOP does To Go orders? Thinking I'm gonna have that when I wake up in the morning.

Isn't it nice to watch something and feel it was made just for you?

 

[Articalys]

Aaron Sorkin should write an episode for an American TV series produced and written by Damon Lindelof which is a remake of a Japanese anime series written by Mari Okada based on a story originally written by Reki Kawahara.

Think of the possibilities!!!!!

Are you trying to cause the apocalypse even after we lucked out on December 21?

Yeah I hope to see more bean sprouts in the next episode!

It's a little creepy how closely tailored it is to my tastes.

Then again, boobs.

Is Takahata even going to live long enough to finish it?

Are you trying to cause the apocalypse even after we lucked out on December 21?

Nah, if I were I would also suggest that both shows are part of an international project conceived by Level5 and Hino.

Oh... shit!

Its gonna take 6 years for Takahata to write, draw and animate everything ala Gothicmade too! He's also gonna be a cyborg throughout all this so we don't need to worry about him or Miyazaki dying on us.

School Days 1 - 2

Somebody told me to check this out. Not a lot to say, pretty standard setting and characters...Not a huge fan of the way it looks, and the formula seems pretty generic, but I guess it won't hurt to watch a few more.

Here we go again. Looking forward to your impressions with vigorous amount of anticipation.

well, i guess i can share this here:

Sailor Moon rewatch 1-31 (so far)

it's been a while since the last time i rewatched this show (late 2007) but now i gotta get ready and rewatch everything before the new show hits (just like with Saint Seiya last year).
man, this show is still sooo good. it starts slow in the first few eps but things hit high gear fast and it becomes better with each follwing ep and i'm almost in marathon mode now (i watched like 12 eps today alone)
i'm now remembering why it is one of my favorite shows ever and the best girl hasn't even joined the party yet.
i gotta slow down a bit since i don't want to blow through all the eps too fast.

HxH 2011 65

Man, I forgot just how good the Greed Island arc really is. The fact that Togashi not only did the whole "online game" thing before shite like SAO and Accel World came out but also did it better easily drives home just much of a fucking worthless hack Kawahara is. He's basically the fuckin' Leopold II of Literature.

Seyla: "Amuro how do you feel about Frau Bow?"
Amuro: "Isn't Frau Bow a guy? I don't understand this question."
Seyla: "I'm just asking because you've been treating her like dirt lately.
Amuro: "HEY LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT!"

HAWT MIRAI'S FIANCE AND NOW BRIGHT IS JEAAAAAAALOUUUUUUUS! And now I am in love with Lt. Sleyger. Freaking REMOVES her fiance's glasses, and SLOWLY SOCKS HIM IN THE FACE.

A RED SHIP? WHY I BET IT BELONGS TO CHAR! HAW HAW HAW. "What's with that mask?" "Some say he's good looking under it!" "I'll STRIP that wolf of his sheep's CLOTHING!"

Oh Char, we're all gay for you.

"DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!"
"Oh, uh, hi Amuro."

WOOOOOOOOW. Maybe Mr. Ray is worse than Flit as a father. HOLY COW. "Aren't you concerned about Mom?" "Get GOING."

Yeah the first season started off frustrating for me but once the other senshi started to show up the show got better and better. I have finally reached Sailor Moon R. On episode 2. Unfortunately, I have to work tuesday night and the rest of the week. I'm just going to assume I will also have to work on some off days as well at this point, so who knows when I will get to see the rest.

Mobile Suit Gundam AGE 32 Wake me when something surprising, emotional, or original happens. 18 more episodes of this drivel.

REALLY? A LITERAL SACK OF GOLD COINS? THEY DON'T HAVE, I DUNNO, CREDITS OR SOMETHING BY NOW?

"I thought of you as a big sister!"
FOR TWO EPISODES.
"I'll explain to Grampa!"
AHAHAHA YOUR GRAMPA MURDERED THE PRESIDENT AND YOUR DAD WHY WOULD HE CARE ABOUT THIS WOMAN?

What utterly pointless drama. At least it was better than the moechanic, I guess.

From the New World 18

LTTP on this ep, loved the animation this week, they really nailed it.

Spoiler

I'm surprised how easily they dispatched the invasion, seemed a bit too convenient. There's got to be a bigger plot at work. I suppose the poison gas is how they wiped out the other army as well.

Magi 15

Why are we still on Planet Namek and when can we get off.

 

[Articalys]

Meanwhile:

A 40-year-old Japanese Self-Defense Force secretary was arrested in Kōchi City on Monday for allegedly stealing Precure stamps from a convenience store. The suspect allegedly stole the set on Sunday at about 6:15 p.m.

According to the Kōchi police, the suspect said that he liked Precure and had stolen Precure stamps from other stores as well. At the time of his arrest, the unnamed secretary was on leave.

Incidentally, by stamps they mean rubber stamps like for a stamp rally, not the mailing kind.
