Looked up some of the Ghilbi Blu-Ray information and got really sad. Totoro and Howl both have UK releases with no info on when the US release will come. Kiki's coming out in Japan soon. Sentai just released Grave of the Fireflies. Not sure I'll grab Grave as I'm not sure I have any interest/ability to watch that again.
Lack of releases for Totoro and Howl's are kind of infuriating. It's like Disney actively does not want my money.

Watching Grave of the Fireflies is like a rite of passage. Either you become one of the fallen or you survive and transform into something new.

Switch's flashback is incredible. Everything else, I imagine the manga is just as good.
Am I a horrible person for saying that film is more infuriating than sad? I mean, it's the kid's fault everything after
the horrible attacks on his town
both her and his own's deaths

i have no clue wtf shit is happening.
And is it just me or is Kirito reminding me more and more of Makoto minus fucking everything?
Something about his 'attitude' or something.

I was tempted to fall off the wagon for this? I suppose that little confrontation at the beginning did look pretty and all but good grief, I am not regretting kicking this show to the curb one bit. I thought the whole point of this arc was that
so why the hell, then, is he running off to do some freakin' sidequesting at the drop of a hat? I guess there's just no escaping dat completionist gamer mentality after all. And don't even get me started on the fact that these two incestuous idiots for some inexplicable reason haven't been able to figure out their real world identities yet. Seriously, how freakin' retarded do you have to be?
Still, I find it oddly reassuring how no matter how many episodes I skip the sheer stupidity of the material will always remain the one constant throughout. That in itself requires a special kind of talent, I guess.

this time around motherfuckin' Kirito had a time limit to rescue his waifu from the clutches of Evil Man Lip Licker and needed to hurry the fuck up

See what I mean, transform into something new! And yes I agree.
You're a terrible man, Trejo. A true pervert. The lowest even.
You have my respect.
The main character's flashbacks are my favorite part of the comic. Maybe I'll just check out the animated flashbacks then. Thanks for the heads up, Cosmic.

So cute at times (like the face Rikka makes at the end) I might have gotten a few cavities.
So far this show rocks, it manages to make me laugh pretty consistently. Nap upperclassman is awesome, though the crazy twintail loli is pretty good too.
As far as the adults go, I love the teacher's trolling and I have a certain appreciation for Rikka's sister and Yuta's mom.

Actually, that's exactly the interpretation its director Isao Takahata wanted you to have of the film. In fact, he was surprised to learn that people saw it as a tearjerker.

Code:Breaker - Episode 6
Oh boy, this has been a great week for shounen action. The trend continues with the most 90s series this season - Douche Breaker! This week is pretty damn fun, with more amazing school scenes of Ogami feeling out of place, introduction of a new character, a non-CG bike, Heikie reciting an erotic novel, electric zombies, and yes, more AKU!!! I kinda dig the way the show mixes really cheap still shots with more animated action parts. It's also a very 90s way of stretching the budget just to have longer action sequences.
It looks like shit is really going to hit the fan next week. Great pacing, since we've just hit the mid-point of the series!
Look ma, no CG!

Thanks to Typographenia and Mature for the heads up on the price drop! I just ordered both of them even though I also already own the regular DVD releases.
If it's legit, the well regarded posters will make enough of a compelling case for folk to check it out.
Yet more proof that Sword Art Online is history's greatest monster.

Once upon a time, Kaiji's great-great-great-great-grandafther owned shit up as a legendary longbowman, greedy doctor's would be set straight byOBAMACAREthe supernatural and learn the wonders of Universal Health Care, and the communist coins from the last episode turned into a ghost and found salvation in BUDDHA NATURE.

Nah, that's pretty much exactly what Takahata was aiming for.

Horizon: Far East Enlightening Lecture 01
Cute, in ways of presentation. Not so cute, when you have subtitles in order to read it. At least I learned more about the ship of this crazy world.

Without much delay, they get on with some action. Basically The bad girls from last season kidnap the main dude to get back at their humiliating defeat. The conversation over the phone with a kid and a drunk was pretty funny. It's pretty obvious how this little arc is going to end with.
It's kinda funny that Minato and his sister Yukari both become Ashikabi, but neither of them know that the other is one yet. To bad her Sekirei doesn't look like this.

I've never read that. It's an interesting quote. Given how everyone I know reacted to that film, I always felt like I had missed the point. Glad to know that's not the case, haha.
It's a solid episode. Come on... Have you even seen the first 5 minutes of it?

Oh yeah, HidaSketch 6 happened:
I thought this pic was funny, given what happens in the episode near the end of the first half. lol
The second half was all :firehawk to the point where I thought I was watching K-On!! again. That well is probably the easiest one to keep going back to anyway.

I'm kinda interested. Should I watch everything before it or just try episode 19 and see how much I can get? It's not like I don't know anything about the current setting because of the posts here and in the SAO thread, but...
Nope, stopped watching a long time ago after reading everyone's impressions and not being all the entertained with the show myself.

At this point, might as well just skip to the action bits of the episode. Not like the non-action stuff is any better than the junk from the past whatever episodes.
I'm actually more interested in the visual quality than anything else. I kinda want to see how nice everything looks.
The pacing on it is pretty brutal I thought. Maybe it takes a certain affinity for manufactured action scenes that have some strange two-dimensional logic to get something out of episodes like this. Instead of the show treading water it feels like its moving backwards.
Oh yeah, and if Kirito's sister has a picture of the in game version of herself on the ceiling how has he never seen it?
Then you shall be rewarded.

Damn, Urd. Fine as shit. cajunator has good taste. That accent daammmmmnnnnn.

I hear ya. Drunk Accel World is the best Accel World let me tell you.
You, of course.

Another great episode. Makoto's manly sacrifice was touching and will be remembered for years to come.
I was happy to see his

attention to
I'm almost starting to come to terms with the opening. I still feel it is pretty psychotic and hurts my eyes/brain a little, but the music is nice and the animation of the scenes cool too. If only it played normally (it fits the show, but still...).
