Free stuff. :)

Also; seems I had an allergic reaction to Junjou last night. It was even worse than I remembered it. Scary part was it seems I was the only one.

I was not aware that my forehead was so... reflective.


Hmm.




Not sure what to think now. I've become one of those people...

...what the hell was I thinking? :P


Then again, looking at last year's vid, the fact that Barron and I were discussing Redline then, and we have it playing this week, is a little freaky...

He means if you're not a Yuki junkie or an ANN fanboy, it's schizenhausen.

The Disapearance is not boring and it is not for fanboys. Or maybe its a sin to like popular movies?

It is two and three quarter hours of slow, with lots of quiet pauses that provide nothing to the film. It could have been 100 minutes long and not have lost anything. I don't have that much to complain about with the actual plot.... In a way, I'm angry at KyoAni and their Endless Eight for pushing this out of the tv series. It would have made a better ending than the actual final episode. And, of course, it brings up future continuity that isn't guaranteed to be made into anime form, either....

I'm not a Yuki fanboy, so that doesn't concern me. We didn't need eight episodes of Endless Eight to convince us she would have been driven completely stark raving bonkers enough to do what she did in this film.

KyoAni made huge profits at the box office with Disappearance then sold over 100k units on DVD/BD.

As far as they are concerned, it was completely justified. And if people continue to justify things like that and Endless Eight with letting them go well past break even sales and into major profit, why would the stop doing those things? Nichijou bombing on sales might cause them to change in someway, but if the K-ON movie repeats Disappearance's success, then they will repeat this until fans over there stop handing over their money.

It's already been pointed out Japan loves Yuki and hates Haruhi. The movie's major profits are proof of it.

Times have changed. What the 1998 wave and 2006 wave want from anime are virtually polar opposites. Current wave likes slow, quiet and full of characters that are simplistic/non-negative/easy to think about getting with them. Whereas those who have taken a screenplay/film studies course will tell you that this is was a director's dream. History has shown quality will rarely sell and that giving the viewer aesthetic pleasure and lulling the mind to a state where they won't even focus on the pacing, plot or the like is a formula for financial success.

As far as I'm concerned it's a cleverly constructed yet cheap dig for cash. Hardly the worst thing ever made but there are far better things.

On-topic - Redline. Great movie but released in a time the general crowd has shifted towards wanting something else. Would have done great 10 years ago financially. Sonomee McLaren is amongst the most flockwin of flockwin babes ever. JP is the man. The idol sisters are freaking hilarious. The soundtrack is delish. Sonomee McLaren's breasts are a rare example of well-drawn female nudity in anime. I love this film.

I beg to differ, The silence in the movie is what adds character and depth to the situation that Kyon finds himself in. Sure its not as fast paced as the first season was but it is not and was never meant to be, it was a culmination of the results of Endless Eight. Any person who sat through all of E8 has come to love this movie dearly because we can feel Yuki's "pain." E8 was a gamble and it paid off, sure it was annoying but it was still daring and new, no other studio can boast of such a feat.

I dont know I guess it sucked if you just were not a fan of the franchise as a whole. But honestly speaking it is one of the best anime movies I have ever seen, and I know im not the only who thinks this.
