odd so it seems all the status updates don't get put on the front page...wonder what you have to do to get one there?

Interesting. Extreme fans (fans enough to come to a site like this) being annal retentive...and this surprises you how?I agree with fox on this one. Anime is more a mind set and a set of stylistic choices not simply something from Japan. I think you have to focus on things in a way the Japanese have perfected (interesting characters, not black and white) but certainly others can do it. Certainly ...

Wow...well I won't argue with you as I totally disagree as it is one of the most moving shows I have ever watched and the only anime show so far to make me cry. The K-On connection was with some of the character designs and the importance of music in the first episode and in the show generally judging from the opening...and the fact frankly that the music in the ...

@Turambar: hmm I don't know, setting is important and it actually isn't nearly as sexual as you would expect from the title given the stuff I have read about it here. New shows with space themes have decreased though you are right about that.

So after two females (who I probably wouldn't have listened to if they were male....being single and all) recommended angel beats to me I started checking it out. First episode left me cold...oh look its a k-on clone. Second and third episode deepened things considerably. Interestingly I find myself wondering if there is some cross pollination between this and Haibane Renmei. I have not finished it yet but themes seem ...

I have really heard great things about this show. Something to think about tom (really wish you would reply more). Does contradiction that shines a light more on one aspect make an aspect stronger. For example...does the cuteness of the characters in when they cry...make the very non-cute things they do more shocking? Does the easy going, cute, and breezy style of the first episode of Now and Then Here ...

@Turambar: but both have a space connection and to me show the Japanese association with space. I mean even EVA does to some extent. Japan really does love their space operas or at least did. We still have that show this season about the female space pirates.

I doubt NASA is involved given that is a Japanese show and the Japanese have always had a space fascination. Anything that helps keep America interested in Space though is a good thing to my mind, as we need to be out there now rather than later. Whats the Babalyon five quote...if we don't go out into space not only do we die but Shakespeare, Michelangelo, and Albert Einstein also ...

@metalsnakezero said:Tom, this show is very well made. The animation of how the characters play, the character development, the attention to details. How can you pass up on something so good while watching some crappy Naruto comedy?absolutley agreed. Everything I have heard about this show made me like it. Then I checked out a couple episodes and now I love it.

FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST BROTHERHOOD OVA COLLECTION -- DVD REVIEW.
@CrazyCanuck: and of course they can make more money selling them this way...and yes they are a business in it for money.@rubberluffy I agree the humor was a necessary diversion from the very dark tone of the show. Tom do you find the humor in plays like Hamlet disruptive? I would not compare any anime to Hamlet, but there is a long tradition of humor in serious pieces.On a side ...

@metalsnakezero: Rremember he said cross over hit. It is very western in many ways, especially super hero western (which is why I didn't like it much actually) so it will appeal to that audience. It may very well reach out farther than the normal anime audience. In the anime audience I agree that Madokoa was more popular.

LUPIN III: THE WOMAN CALLED FUJIKO MINE #1 -- Watch & Learn.
Interesting. I think I might like this even though I didn't like the original Lupin much at all. Anything that is comparable to the count of Monte Cristio anime (which I own) gets high marks. Will have to see if I can make time to try this out.

@sickVisionz: you forget he has a softspot for rather crappy shonen stuff (see his reviews of that ghost show). Can't comment on this one except to say a lot of anime shows start slow and some of those are the best ones. Hanabi Renmei for example starts INCREDIBLY slow and meandering but then goes to some very interesting places that wouldn't have worked without the slow character driven start (much ...

1.8 million Vitas, about expected considering. E3 is going to be super interesting. CoD Vita on stage is my guess.
