  1. @usagijen Less self-conscious, perhaps? I think there's a point where everyone goes from being an anime fan to an anime blogger.
  2. Sword of the Stranger == FUCK, WIN;
  3. @jpmeyer Yeah, I was surprised how unique Cure was. Straight after watching, I started downloading 6 of his other films, inc. Tokyo Sonata!
  4. Japanese live action film 'Cure' is really disturbing, in a quiet, ambiguous way. Reminded me of Se7en, and also Tarkovsky's Solyaris.
  5. @concretebadger Ta for the rec., it looks cool in that all action Kawajiri/Spriggan kinda way. I'll definitely follow up on it!
  6. @BluWacky The next ep explained nothing, but didn't feel as jarring. I guess the true mystery of Umineko is in fathoming Beatrice's purpose!
  7. @thaliarchus No, you're right. It's unique and interesting. More of an acquired taste than E7, too. I hope to watch it all eventually!
  8. @thaliarchus My worry with Turn A is the strange 'Tomino factor' that inflicts the story. Of what I've seen of it, it felt somewhat elusive.
  9. @BluWacky I'm DLing the next ep right now in the hope of answers. I'll be disappointed if it's some game they are all playing to pass time!
  10. @kadian1364 Though it takes a little while to get going, Eureka Seven is awesome. Watch that, the others can wait.
  11. After episode 5 of Umineko I've got absolutely no idea what the hell is happening. Totally random plot twist.
  12. @jpmeyer Mushishi might be a good choice, then. Monster, perhaps. Dennou Coil for sure! Now and Then, Here and There is still obscure too.
  13. @jpmeyer How about Grave of the Fireflies? Do I win?!
  14. @OneGreatTurtle @nyoronyolo Okay, you've given me much to consider! I've never read a 'sound novel' before, but I'd like to try it sometime.
  15. @OneGreatTurtle @Smankh I'm enjoying the anime, but I'm tempted by this talk of the sound novel; why do you think it's the superior version?
  16. Started watching Umineko on a whim at the weekend and the second episode has just completely hooked me in! Much creepier than expected, too!
  17. Loving the contorted human faces in Trapeze, esp. episode 2. The way it's been animated is cool, particularly the rotoscoping.
  18. The last minute or so of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood 26 is like... so flippin' good and heart wrenching and sad and.... yeah.
  19. @cipherpolnine Yeah, I'm trying to not think much about 'the layers' of Utena; if just because I probably won't see them first time around!
  20. Loved the weirdness of the first episode of Trapeze. That and the music. And the aesthetic.
