Is the twist going to be that she has been asleep the whole time and that she is floating in space orbiting a destroyed earth?

The actual thought process behind that stand via Jojoveller books....
WHEEL OF FORTUNE
You've got a car coming after you, like in Duel or Christine. The Design is a 60's-70's American car remodeled to look like an animal. The stand's master exists only to make a joke.
If you want to read about the thought/lack of thought process behind every stand http://jojo.wikia.com/wiki/JOJOVELLER/Commentaries.

It's not that they said that there will never be a Season 3, but they don't have one planned as an immediate followup like how Season 2 was greenlit and announced right at the end of Season 1.

On Stray Cat
"When I was a kid, my grandpa had a cat named Chako. We doted on it, but I rememeber once it hurt me when I ignored it... I've never trusted cats ever since (laughs)."
So why does he brutally murder the dogs!?

Being chased through space by a planet is a pretty cool sci-fi idea, I have to say.

No it doesn't, but one day you'll get tripped up by one of Araki's stands that he thought slightly deeper about!
Sakura Quest 7
A second episode on the movie arc for some reason, I think the main problem with this is that we go straight from IT-chan's arc to Oren detective's arc. But they're basically the same thing, yes there are some differences but they're so similar that putting them back-to-back doesn't really highlight the differences it just makes them feel samey. Another problem I have with the show is that backstory and resolution happen at basically the same time so as soon as you find out what problem a character has it's already resolved. Also, that reminiscing montage of OD's acting passion through the ages could not have been more out of place.
Love Tyrant 7
I know it's a harem but do we really need this sorta serious romance stuff all the time? It's so dreadfully boring and simplistic that's it's just a pain to sit through. After the first few episodes I thought we were in for a treat with this one but now at roughly the halfway point this just screams mediocre as the comedy is being replaced by lame plot developments and what gags remain just aren't fresh enough to consistently land anymore.
Not exactly a great hour of anime to say the least.

gah... why does Tenjou Tenge have such a fun opening
when a rap song comes up I can't help but think of it.
and then I go listen to it.
and then I get pissed at it due to how crappy the anime ending is...
and then I remember there are OVAS that continue the story...
and then get pissed remembering how the OVAS somehow manage to end at even a crappier spot @_@.

Skimming the plot synopsis, something about Touka (Rikka's sister) planning to move to Italy and take Rikka with her.

I just saw that there's some anime movie called "Blame" coming to Netflix soon... anyone know anything about it?
Ah, I was wondering what they'd do to try to split the pair up. Maybe they mean an Italian nerd girl and have her join the crew.
Ah, I was wondering what they'd do to try to split the pair up. Maybe they mean an Italian nerd girl and have her join the crew.
After reading the summary more fully, it looks like the general plot is: in the last year of high school, Yuuta and Rikka are still living together but haven't progressed in their relationship at all. Touka comes back from Italy and says that since she has a steady job there now, she's taking Rikka back with her, so Yuuta and the gang start working on a plan for he and Rikka to "elope" before it's too late.
So they might not actually have any scenes in Italy itself... but who knows.
Fun fact: the filename for Tohru's picture is thor.png.
It's another Polygon Pictures CG adaption of a Nihei manga (last was Knights of Sidonia)
Blame! is considered his best work. The movie will probably take a lot of liberties with the material, so I'm really curious to see how it turns out.

Ah, I thought it looked like Sidonia from the key art, but I wasn't sure. I guess that can be my anime of the season. lol
If they tease an Italy trip, they should do it!
I can't imagine their relationship really progresses though. Even Tamako Market just ends with a rather paltry confession as the culmination of that relationship.

And Hyouka was from before KyoAni was the main part of the production committee.

The complete opposite of the first series. I was rather surprised they were given the chance to finish the series.

(Crappy) Anime romances in a nutshell. God forbid actual romantic progression occurred during 2 years of dating.
Instead they can do a pseudo-confession yet again because why make the premise logical, fresh and interesting!

Groan.
It's top-notch kids' anime, yeah.
Tamako Market ends on nothing. Tamako Love Story, on the other hand, is entirely about change and the necessity of letting go of the status quo.
Has to be better than watching LWA... I fell off though, maybe I'll catch up sometime.

I still haven't actually watched the last two episodes of AO, despite watching the rest of it as it aired. Still not so sure I want until unless it's out of morbid curiosity.

Thankfully, from what I remember the characters of the show were good enough to keep the show interesting despite that terrible relationship development between the main pair. I guess we can just hope that they actually write in some development for the main ship and show them acting and treating each other as an actually couple, rather than still trying to figure out what a "romantic relationship" is and how it should look.. Even with that, I still liked the show more than most because it was a pretty fun watch. (bad plot direction/regression aside)
1)We can only hope that they do something about that in the movie, I guess it depends on the timeline and if they decide to let Rikka grow up and act like a normal human again.....
2) See below; Hasann is right on about Love Story. Despite the constant mochie talk, the story was more about the main ship growing up in their lives and learning to move forward rather than a standard "rom com" hook up story. I mean, it does have both, but the individual character growth for Tamako especially is what I appreciated from the movie.
