Yeah it actually sounds like it could be right up my alley as a story. But, lol anyway at the title.

This.

I would also watch it if it was indeed pancake.

I want to believe that someone actually screwed up the first one and the director went "Nah, let's roll with it."

The pancreas thing is great because the live action movie is coming out here in Japan and it gets a laugh every time I tell someone what the name translates to. The story seems sad, but the name is just ridiculous.

Man, I feel hang over as if I drank for weeks even though I haven't touched alcohol in years. Post-op SUCKS.

Anime (specifically Tany the Evil) is saving me :)


Anyway, it's a good show and would only work as anime. I don't think it could work in any other medium.

Well, you could check out the LNs if you wanted to find out for sure.

But yeah, it's a good show. Looking forward to a second season whenever that happens.

So yesterday I saw the movie In This Corner of the World. I guess it came out last year, and won a big pile of awards, but its american release is now, so maybe it's in your local theater, too.

It's about a young woman living through WWII. It's mostly a pretty low-key story about everyday wartime life. There's a tragic middle (I can't imagine there not being one, really) but it's ultimately pretty optimistic.

It's solid- I feel the the ending is oddly short, especially how, despite the main character being from Hiroshima, it covers the bombing and aftermath so briefly- but as I thought more about it afterwards it comes together very nicely. There's a few pretty scenes, and one gross one (which came super out of the blue. I don't know what to think about it, really. It's...appropriate but it comes at a real weird time). I don't know, I'm bad at writing reviews. watch movie.

I'm looking forward to watching it. I really liked the manga, although not quite as much as Town of Evening Calm, Country of Cherry Blossoms by the same author.

Has anybody else been watching 18if? Because it's become an interesting show out of nowhere.

well poo poo, that sure was an episode
really wish the show as a whole was more of that/episode 3 type stuff, where it's visually interesting and the story is engaging. or in the case of this week, a story you have to actively decipher and has multiple possible outcomes.

I'm going to read Town of Evening Calm while I wait for In This Corner to be available. The trailers have looked pretty lovely

I don't know, it's got BBB season 2 to compete with, and the motorcycle racing and 30 year old NEET woman shows might be fun. I also want to check out Kino.

Maybe the Houseki no Kuni anime will actually be remotely possible to follow compared to the manga.

houseki no kuni will be interesting cause it's a full production by studio orange, who are known for doing actually nice-looking cg

Assuming it covers the arcs I think it will, March comes in like a Lion S2 will be one of the best shows in years.

Osomatsu-san should also be great and while its manga has a heap of flaws I might cautiously look forward to UQ Holder.

Remember, Akamatsu stuff never gets a good anime. Also heap of flaws is putting it very lightly.

BBB was ridiculously good, even with the less-than-stellar ending because it did SO many things right before getting to that point. Basically, imagine the 1st season of Durarara but instead of Kida's arc lasting like 7 episodes, it's over in 2.

it's the best anime of 2015

i dunno if the new season will be as good cause the director of season 1 just had a loving amazing sense for visual flair and timing and pacing and she's not returning for this one, but the later stuff in the manga is supposed to be really good so it will probably still be good

On the one hand I do agree, because what I remember of the Love HIna anime wasn't all that great. On the other hand, it did put Yui Horie on the map, and she's rad. On a third hand, I need coffee.

uq holder had too many naked children, even for akamatsu. it'd be nice if the anime censored that poo poo, but i'm not holding my breath.

A Depressed Teen Deals With Being Alone And The Anxieties Of Adulthood While Trying Not To Fail And Again Bring Ruin To Everyone He Cares About is a less good title tho.

Rei is the only good SadBoy ever in fiction imo
