I'm curious to know what you expected from GRAVE OF THE FIREFLIES. Feel like sharing?

Thanks.

Yeah, he's kind of a typical 14-year-old boy in that regard, isn't he? Thinks he doesn't need any help, that he can do everything on his own. The movie, to its credit, doesn't try to soften that aspect of his character or come up with excuses. Nor does it flinch in its stark portrayal of the primitive level to which Japanese society descended in the final stage of the war when food, medicine and basic supplies were so scarce. Kinji Fukasaku was 15 when the war ended and his experience in that time later infused the making of his 2000 film, BATTLE ROYALE, which is about 14-year-olds also and their forced descent to a primitive level. These two films would make an interesting double feature.

Thanks.

Just finished Kannagi. I wanted to like it. There were some funny moments. But I couldn't connect with the story or any of the characters.

I started watching Kanamemo. So far it's pretty funny.

Is anyone watching SKET Dance? Is it any good? I was thinking about giving it a try.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

I'm keeping up with the episodes. Early on there are some arcs that are too long. There were also a few serious episodes. Overall it's a rather fun series. Whether one likes the humor may vary.

When I get home a little later today I am going to start... Basilisk. It is just sitting on my shelf, unopened!

Just finished Sora no Woto (aka Sound Of The Sky). A lot of people call this "K-On Goes To War". But aside from a few superficial similarities, the two shows are very different. Personally, I thought it had more in common with Haibane Renmei. Anyways, it was a good show.

Re-watching Princess Jellyfish (just got the box in). Three eps in and it's just as much fun as the first time.

Currently watching The Familiar Of Zero (aka Zero no Tsukaima). Just finished the first season. So far I'm really enjoying it. On to the second season.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

Finished the series. Overall it was pretty good. I wouldn't recommend watching all 4 seasons in one stretch. As it goes on, a lot of the tsundere/romance/harem stuff gets repetitive. But if you took each season on it's own, with a break in-between, I think it would flow much better.

I've been thinking about watching that series. I just finished Ef - A Tale Of Memories. Heartbreaking teen love drama with multiple layers to the story and central themes. It has a haunting emotional core that quickly wraps you into the plot.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

Started watching My Bride Is A Mermaid (Seto no Hanayome). I'm about 5-6 episodes in, and I don't know if I'm gonna finish. It's a little too manic with non-stop parody.

So then I switched over to A Certain Scientific Railgun (Toaru Kagaku no Railgun). Only watched about 3-4 episodes, but I'm enjoying it. The storyline is pretty interesting and I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with it.

In the middle of Book of Bantorra, not bad so far.

Just started "Legend of Legendary Heroes". After 1st 2 eps it almost has a Berserk vibe if Berserk was a comedy.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

Watching Okami-san and Her Seven Companions. I have real problems with the dub and many of the reviews I read of the series were spot on, which is disappointing. A couple of episodes to go, but I don't think I'm going to end up liking it too much.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

This is on my Watch List too. I think I'll watch the sub instead of the dub though.

I'm currently watching Mobile Suit Gundam and Guyver (OVA) and yesterday I watched Galaxy Express 999 (movie).

It's been a few years since I watched any of these animes, but I'm having a pretty good time revisiting Guyver and Gundam. Gundam is as good as I remember and Guyver, despite being a little corny at times, is good bloody fun. Galaxy Express 999, on the other hand, left me feeling flat. I hadn't seen the movie in over a decade and was looking forward to revisiting it yesterday, but for whatever reason, I just couldn't get into it. I don't know why, maybe I wasn't in the right mood?

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

I started to watch Chobits on blu-ray, this anime is really good.

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

I rewatched Galaxy Express tonight and my opinion didn't change: the movie felt very ho-hum to me. I didn't think it was all bad; there were a few scenes that had the markings of a great film. Tetsuro's flashback, the scene where Matel holds him around the 45 minuet mark, and Tetsuro's escape from Count Mecha's castle were all scenes I thought were done very well. Unfortunately, the rest of the movie never rises to the same level as these scenes and instead feels very... bland, for lack of a better word. I have the sequel sitting in my backlog, but I'm not sure if I'm going to watch it. Most of the reviews I've read pretty much say it's a very mediocre movie.

Anything else looking good?

re: What anime have you watched or/are currently watching?
 

At the moment I'm interested in:
La Storia Della Arcana Famiglia
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse
Hagure Yuusha no Estetica
Sword Art Online

Sword Art Online has my interest the most however.

The date for Ebiten is wrong. It should be on the 14th instead.
To be honest, I'm not sure. There are couple series that seem to have potentials like Tari Tari. I'm going to see what gets simulcasted legally here and go from there...
