They eat KFC for Christmas.
Not really that relevant, but ever since I started watching Gundam Build Fighters, whenever I read China it sounds like Chi-na in my head.
A Letter to Momo getting the submission over it? Fucking Madoka Rebellion being submitted over it?
Such fucking bullshit.
The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya Episode 6
I've fallen out of love with the Haruhi franchise generally speaking, but I don't think I could ever hate:
a) Sugita
b) Haruhi-chan
Hunter x Hunter 103
Another one of my favorite parts of the arc. One thing I've never understood: the boogers. They're so distracting. I can't stop staring. Does she have a cold or something? Why won't she just wipe her nose on her sleeve? Even if you're blind and don't care about your appearance, isn't still really annoying to have two giant dangling strings of goo on your upper lip?

The problem isn't about the subject matter being mundane, but rather, that some mundane things are boring and some are not. The show succeeds when it gives meaning to normalcy, and the worst parts of the show - the cigarette episode, for one - lacks that.
Nor will it, apparently, win any awards.
Blood-C 4
Regular Saya is a dope. Gray eyed fighting Saya sucks at her job so much she could basically be a character on Attack on Titan or AGEtory Gundam. Red Eyed Saya is dope and slices through demons like you would not BELIEVE. Red Eyed Saya is where it is AT.
Also how do none of her friends notice her jumping up a tree? Like a ninja? And is it just me, or is Polar Bear coming on too strong by ALWAYS giving this girl kiss treats? Or is it just that that symbol is particularly unsubtle?

Theres something called the Manabi line. It hovers around 2,700 copies or so to break even. Production costs are way too variable to indicate success or failure but its a estimation point. The show Henneko sold below the line so its probably a fair bet to say it didnt make money.
These are truly great movies, but Millennium Actress is a masterpiece and I cant wait for you to watch it.
Something about their telephone eyes are just so adorable.
wait, so Platinum is in it?!
K. now I have to watch it.
This show will make you love Chise and totally hate Shuuji. However given the extreme circumstances Im not sure that he is entirely to blame for his stupidity. This show thrives on torturing its characters.
Charles is all you need.

Heheh I love these short 4-5 minute shows, they're always great for that quick laugh. I want a Roomba as a pet now.
Is this guy wearing an Ash Ketchum hat?
Lol I laugh at you furries, any ways how did modoku get on there? isn't that just some I recut tv anime footage made into a movie?
6 movies on hacksoda still can get any recognitions in the rest of the world, face it his never going to gain any recognition world wide like the studio ghibli guys or satoshi kon.
I've been thinking to check out letter to momo for quite some time after you are umosu.
in english pls
People approving of Hyouka 6? I ENDORSE THIS HEAVILY.
I will never be able to understand how anyone can think badly of the episode that gave us this.
The Melancholy of Haruhi-chan Suzumiya Episode 6
Proof positive that this show is unforgettable.
Ill accept mundane. Still isnt interesting.

This reminds me of Interstella 5555 for some reason.

HO HO HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG
Its a terrible episode, but that was the highlight.
Well thats a whole different kind of heart problem.
Hah, why? Because I've neglected watching a lot of great films and now I'm watching them in gluttonous succession?
You know, I've seen Tokyo Godfathers, Paprika, Magnetic Rose, and even all of Paranoia Agent, but I've never managed to run into Millennium Actress or Perfect Blue. Maybe I've subconsciously been holding out on them since I know I wont have any more after I've watched them.
Or you Cosplaying santa.
Millennium Actress is my favorite anime movie. It best made use of Kon's fantasy/reality mixing ideas and told a compelling love story. The music in it is occasionally electronica to set the pace but also some very beautiful pieces as well, and the old-school appearance of it is very charming. Lots of it is homage to early classic Japanese cinema and theres so much little detail everywhere. Even Chiyoko is cute as a girl. Good god I love that movie so much. I will never stop praising it.

Not even Paranoia Agent?
Speaking of which, I really wish Funimation would get the rights to that. I don't think it's been released on Blu-ray (and if it was, it'd probably look like shit due to upscaling), so just a DVD rerelease would be cool.
...I think I saw the first episode once.

Apparently Asuka
is half angel half human thats why she calls humans Lillin. Her eye is supposed to have fused with an angel or some shit like that.
Every time a new Rebuild film comes out I have to rewatch the previous ones again to get myself updated with the story and subtle references. Also EVA takes it to the next level. Some of the references feel shoe horned in just to be deep and shit. Similar to Ergo Proxy.

Bring on the Charl, the only hope for IS
even though IS has no hope.
Dropping valvrave? tsk.
I'm kinda torn, tbh. Part of me thinks its at least partially Shuuji's fault in that
he doesn't get away from the pedophile teacher
I found it a bit on the dull side.

Me too. Wasurenagumo is good, but Shiranpuri has the more exceptional art and animation style as well as a more moving and important theme (the latter is admittedly subjective) which it handles with great sensitivity and thoughtfulness.

Magical Girl Pretty Sammy 7
Washu joins! By destroying a 60 billion dollar satellite! And there was even more english than before!!!
Too bad Misa is getting tired of this shit, seeing the same kill move over and over, maybe she'll get a new trick up her sleeve???
Also, I think Washu "knows" who Sammy is, but is obviously being presented as "I don't really know who". But hey, she's a genius!
I would watch this

It still roams in the land of the illustrious and expensive Geneon. That'd be a great license rescue.
Ok you gotta point there.
Im prety sure you can still find official copies on Ebay or Amazon for not a whole lot of money.
Saikano puts characters in REALLY fucked up situations they really cannot escape from. It will make you feel like everything is just futile.

Finished Zetsubou Sensei. The comedy was superb, the characters were absolutely fantastic, the voice acting was some of the best I've seen, and the art is brilliant. Over-all a very good show, though season 2 could have been a bit less abstract for my taste.
Went ahead and read the ending of the manga and MY MIND. IT'S FUCKED. Such a dark yet beautiful ending.

Dual!! Parallel Trouble Adventures 8
Hahaha, the harem grows, and how! This episode introduces us to Notsuka II, in a hilarious twist of fate. It also establishes that the real villain is not Doctor Rara, who as it happens is a pretty nice guy, but really is
But here's what matters most: This episode basically flips a massive middle finger at what I had once considered the only redeeming feature of Gundam AGE's 3rd arc.
I'm going to spoil Gundam AGE's 3rd arc. If you have seen it, you have my condolences. If you haven't and you want to, don't. You're a damn fool for entertaining the idea.
Anyway, the idea is in Arc 3, Adolf Hitler's grandson goes to the giant Space Auschwitz that the Martian Jews have been living and finds out that hey, these Jew guys aren't so bad, their lives are miserable, their leaders are desperate, and there're nice people living among 'em. Hell, the Martian Jews' leader takes the kid in as his own. It's a humanizing moment which takes the previously annoying, one-note space villains and makes them into people, which casts the so-called hero's actions in an entirely different light. Until of course Hino loses his balls, realizes that suddenly Adolf Hitler looks like a bad guy, and that his pedophilia/Nazi propaganda is coming across wrong, and retcons all the "bad guys" into being mustache curling bad guys.
So in this episode we have young Shinji/Tenchi wake up in the enemy stronghold, only to find out that they're normal people who are perfectly nice. Heck, the so-called evil overlord has a cute daughter who doesn't like the war at all and wants to end it and make peace. The bad guys, it so happen, have a reasonable motive for invading Japan and trying to conquer the world. The people left back in heroland are portrayed as sympathetic, struggling to get by without knowing what happened to their friend (as opposed to Hitler, who was throwing a bitch fit for losing a fight), and when Shinji/Tenchi gets invited to dinner with the evil overlord, it turns out that the Big Bad is just a doting father who dresses in a button up and bolo tie and laughs a lot.
We're also introduced to an actual villain so the sympathetic aspects are not discredited with some half assed master plan. It's not as ideal as having the villains continue simply with their good reasons for doing bad things, but it works a HELL of a lot better than the absurd twist in AGE.
Point is, 8 episodes in, I finally get why people like this show. Also AGE is horrible and please never ever watch it. 2nd worst Gundam show ever made.
Hahaha, the harem grows, and how! This episode introduces us to Notsuka II, in a hilarious twist of fate. It also establishes that the real villain is not Doctor Rara, who as it happens is a pretty nice guy, but really is
his wife who is also the wife of Doctor Sanada in the other world. If that hurts your brain, both Rara and Sanada have daughters by this woman who are named Mitsuki and are exactly the same age. Chrono Cross right there, folks.
But here's what matters most: This episode basically flips a massive middle finger at what I had once considered the only redeeming feature of Gundam AGE's 3rd arc.

A sudden realization but....
Sasami Kawai = Pretty Sammy.
............
....................
DUH
And we have a more blatant example where it would've been possible to realize that Misa is Misao, but who cares about questions! Washu is an ally of JUSTICE.
I wonder if what happened here would've worked as well as other Magical Girl animes.
