Kaiji 10

I can't wait for the inevitable failure of Sakazaki's plan necessitating quick thinking from Kaiji to barely save them from utter ruin.

Ano Hana 9

There are two main complaints I have. First, we have never gotten a good look at how the Peace Busters interacted as kids. Their past relationships and personalities have been all been told to us by their older selves. This makes it impossible to accept everyone's idolization of Menma and the romantic web that has developed. The way these characters interact with each other is not convincing.

Second, the show's taken such trouble up to now to keep Menma's status ambiguous from everyone but Jintan, yet suddenly she's acting very unambiguously ghostlike what with floating objects and ghost-writing and the like. And she's still invisible to everyone but Jintan. Either make her visible for everyone or stick to one kind of ghost behavior; the shift in tone is too much to handle.

What a beautiful trainwreck this show has become. Only 2 more episodes and the suffering ends. At least now that my expectations have been shattered, there is no way to be disappointed by the ending.

Looking at the images and other information released from the show before it aired and even in the man GAF thread...I don't see what exactly the premise promised? It's not like the show specifically led you to believe it was something other than itself.
it's been what it promised, for the most part. That ep specifically felt like needless filler, to clarify.

and as far as the psyche/Supernatural elemants go. The creepy little girl, glowing, and the fox? Or are those cultural references that I'm not getting?

Jexhius always gives everyone else a head start. Why crush hopes that haven't risen yet?

This is just a temporary 2nd Spring thread until the Summer thread, right? So a victory in this temporary thread is meaningless because YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD.

I wonder, what are the odds the last episode will end with some sort of time-skip/flash-forward where an adult Ohana is now the inn's manager?

Victory may be meaningles for some, but defeat is unacceptable.

I dunno, but I hope that little girl shows up more.

is there a space anime out this year?

I want the star trek the original series of animes

I just want Planetes 2 :(

But I guess there is as much hope for that as there is for Spice & Wolf 3.

I don't have much time these days, but I'm thinking of starting either Wondering Son, or Ano Hana, depending on what people say of the ending.

While I doubt we'll ever see more Planates you might get Moonlit Mile season 2 from Funimation if they ever do a re-release.

I'm with ya though, I want more sci-fi and space anime.

Read Saturn Apartments. It's like a far superior Planetes, but with space window cleaners instead of space garbage men.
Blasphemy. Your punishment is 100 hours of listening to all of Hikaru's lines from Kimagure Orange Road on loop.

Planetes might be one of the best sci fi anime ever, but Saturn Apartments is still way better. It's a criminally unappreciated masterpiece.

If what you say is indeed true, then you've been holding out!

Never thought about it that way, after the end of ep8 and the whole of ep9 I'm ready for whatever the ending throws at me without realising it.

BRING IT ON!!
