I like how you imply that people with blue hair makes sense as long it's not set in a Japanese school.

Do you find the lack of control you have as a screenwriter frustrating?
PRICE
Its enough to drive you to write novels. Almost. This is the immutable law of the business: the only screenplays that arent tampered with are the ones that arent made. Making a movie is an ensemble act. Writers are not authors out there. And scripts are not books. Theyre blueprints. You work with others or youre gone.

This has me wondering, how much of what Koimoku paints actually happens in the manga industry?

You wouldnt want to direct your own screenplays?
PRICE
It is sort of a natural law that if you have any kind of significant success as a screenwriter, the next thing to do (according to Darwin or someone) is to parlay that into some kind of deal where youll end up directing. Why would anybody want to stay a screenwriter, constantly handing your stuff over to other people to execute? On the other hand, I dont know anything about directing, but what Ive seen I dont like. It takes over your entire life, physically, mentally, emotionally. If I werent a novelist and if I hadnt written Clockers, I probably wouldve taken a stab at being a director, simply out of despair. Sometimes the fear of the unknown is not as great as the fear of things staying the way they are.
Or just make lower budget movies and make sure you have great actors as your best friends. Works for Tarantino!

Considering that they weren't attached to a line and it was their first spacewalk, I'd be shocked if those suits didn't have thrusters in them...
Beautiful Me, he is hilarious.
Main trio? You mean the main four characters, right? But yeah, the humor of the characters around them is often just as important to the humor as anything Milky Holmes do themselves, yes. That is true. I do think they're pretty funny at times, but the humor isn't always centered around them, sure. This becomes even more true once the police girls become major characters too, if they haven't yet at that point. Kokoro... :lol
Glass Fleet: The Legend of the Wind of the Universe 17
"Would you just get to it already? I'm really not interesting in hearing about Eckardo's trouble with his love life." - Cleo of the Wind
In this episode the former general tries to tell Cleo of his parents tragic past after Cleo asks why he was abandoned. As the general tries to explain how it all went down, Cleo constantly rebukes him claiming that he's being irrelevant. Undeterred by Cleo's whining, the general continues his tale in the hope that it might teach Cleo something about the importance of love. Amazing.
The galaxy in revolution. Renaissance.
These are the eyes of a man who's seen some shit. A mirror most recently comes to mind.

I like how it's not so subtly hinted that Cleo has a twin. What with the baby crying after Cleo's mother kills herself and the general almost letting in Cleo on a big secret only to be interrupted by advancing enemies. I can only begin to image how such an amazing revelation could possibly play out later on.

I was pretty ready to write this show off just a few episodes ago but the season wrapped things up pretty nicely. It closes up the right things while still leaving lots open for the future, and I'm glad that things ended with Lagrange being able to end on its strong foot. So far the series is really best when it's playing up the spectacle, where the audio and visual elements really come to the forefront. There was plenty of that in these last two episodes and I'm hoping the series continues to push for that in the future.
For how good most everything else tends to look in this show the faces can really get wonky sometimes. I would not be surprised to find out Madoka is actually a fish person next season.

Nice episode, though the lack of real mecha fight was a disappointment. For a show with giant robot in it, there has been so little time devoted to them compared to the rest.
I didn't realize this was the last episode too. So now to wait for July to see the second season? I really prefer when the seasons are kept back to back and not broken up.

The Ano Natsu soundtrack is pretty good, with a nice variety of track styles. I forgot how "spacey" some of the music was (for lack of a better term), even though it makes sense for it to be so.
My favorite track is still the one they used for most of the dramatic moments at the ends of episodes, though some of the more peaceful piano solos and guitar tracks are really nice as well, especially the acoustic instrumental cover of the OP, sign. I need to start playing piano again, but I don't know if there's any sort of free lesson guides out there to get me back into it.

I'd double check Nintendo Video. It looks like it's going a 3 minute short at a time over six weeks though. http://www.vooks.net/story-20754---...nimation-Series-now-on-your-Nintendo-3DS.html
Indeed. There MUST be a way to buy/preserve these videos forever.

Fuck.
I was laughing . . . then right after, manly tears.
(Pity about the mecha action, which still remains the weakest part of the show. The CG robots lack any sense of weight, the choreography sucks, and their designs are atrocious.)
I love this show so much. One day I will go back and watch the nine episodes I skipped.
I think . . . my life has been changed.
When I wake up in the morning, I'll never look at the world in the same way again. Everything will be different.
Gattai in peace, friends.

True, but think also on a Board of Directors from any given experienced studio sharing their creative input to shape up a project in behalf of/along with the chief director. That possibly makes it a collaborative effort more creatively heterogeneous, but originally creative, than what many illustrated novel writers and their editors can come up with, right? I think it really depends on the work in question.
sounds like something i'd like to watch
Streams dying, halfhearted impressions, no recordings from the booth... this is a fate we must endure, it seems.
Next up: Disappointing first episode!
If you havent seen Toradora yet you should. By far the least annoying kugiloli.
But it is said "lo bueno se hace esperar" (that probably translates as your "all good things are worth the wait", although it lacks part of the meaning).

I think a spinoff with the reporting adventures of Muroto and Hayamiya could actually work.
What's with the Japanese making miniature versions of our monuments?
This just isn't going to end well, is it?

Well, someone finally realizes Shyamalan is completely insane. Shouldn't have said that to his face, though. Shyamalan's belief that he has been specially chosen by fate is not unusual for sociopathic tyrants.
This just isn't going to end well, is it?
Especially since she kissed him. There's never a kiss in anime that leads to good things.
It's awesome, as long as you like to watch people suffering.
Does that include myself if I use a mirror?

I was loving Toradora until I woke up one day and it went from an amusing, sweet, tsundere-centered rom-com to a dramatic drama with drama-centered drama.
Agreed about Taiga though. I have a low tolerance for Kugiloli's but she's easily the most bearable.

It almost makes Guilty Crown look well written. Some of the episodes are amusing, but even the awfulness becomes boring.
Without a doubt.

Jesus. I wonder if each character will have their own bad impersonations of ethnic accents?
In the Hetelia dub, did whoever do that do the same thing!?
Sentai Filmworks makes top-quality dubs.
This video almost makes me want to try and restart the tedious fantasy pablum that is Guin Saga. Almost.
Are the fight scenes atleast well choreographed?
Yes.
a quality dub fit for a quality series
Some would say yes, I'd say no. It's an acquired taste maybe, but watching the characters put up with all they put up with provides a certain level of entertainment. Plus the action scenes are cool.

I think the sound quality of that video is just as bad as the dub, though...

Ah, watched to the end of the clip. England gets the bad British accent but China just sounds like the other Japanese characters - like someone from whatever LA voice acting studio they used.
I wish i could relive the first time I watched Cowboy Bebop. It holds up really well and is just plain fun to experience.
The first episode is bad though, I have never watched past it.
