Watching Summer Wars, Trigun Badlands and Girl Who Leapt Through Time isn't as random as you think cuz i was watching parts of those 3 the last few days ago. And I even watched Clannad for the first time and just finished it also a few days ago, just coincidence. Though I started Clannad After Story this weekend and To Love Ru, haven't really watched To Love Ru since I was only reading the manga at the time.

Played it as a club sport in school. Wasn't great at it. No longer play.

Currently the animes I watch on weekly basis are only Code Breaker and Btooom. I've not really given up on the others though; planning to watch all one-shot, instead of waiting for each new episode to come out.

I don't usually re-watch the series that I have finished, except for a few. Initial D definitely (about 5x for Stages 1-2, less for the others), Shakugan no Shana season 1, Basilisk, Yu-gi-oh! season 1, Vampire Knight season 1, and Full Metal Panic! all seasons, because they're all just damn funny.

Which leads me to realise that I usually lose interest over an anime if it drags on for too long. 1-2 seasons are the best; more than 100 episodes is too much for me, since I have a short attention span. But I don't mind for ID though. More is better tongue.gif

Trigun Badlands? Is that a continuation of the series?

Nope, just a long delayed one-shot movie (probably by the cult following fans) that many times was close to never going to be made but still got made.

I just (finally) got around to watching my Sound of the Sky (Or So Ra No Wo To, whichever you prefer) yesterday...it was kind of a weird trip for me; At first on impulse I thought it would be a militaristic show, then as I watched it I noticed it was kind of similar to K-On! with a military backdrop, and while I generally don't care for "slice of life" genres (The name of such a genre makes me want to punch babies in frustration), I surprisingly found myself liking this more than I ever did with K-On!, and I enjoyed K-On!...I forgave it for not being up to my initial impression, since it was a clever blend of the mundane comedy with some surprisingly dark drama, with CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT, how! God, just that point makes me want to disavow any comparisons to K-On!...It's written with almost a theatrical feel, and the studio went out of their way with the animation budget because it's scenery porn full force...I was certainly left entertained happy.gif

Now I want a velcro patch of the 1121st Platoon's insignia to stick on my tactical uniform shirt... ><

So Sora No Woto was good? I've been hearing good things about it on /a/. Gonna add it into my backlog.

Currently watching Haibane Renmei. Short anime with a very interesting concept of dead people and purgatory.

Sora no Woto has to be one of my favorite shows of all time. Definitely don't be fooled by the K-ON archetypes. (nothing against K-On of course, big fan myself)

Everything about the show is rather beautiful, scenery, story, and definitely the music. Last scene of the show was especially so.

Really? I've been hearing positive comments about the current episode.

Also, Sora no Woto is now in my to-watch list.

I guess I'm back on a Hayao Miyazaki swing. Its been a few years since I took the time to watch all of the movies he's directed. Maybe since I'm older I'll catch all the references that flew over my head when I was a kid! Spirited Away is about a brothel or something now. derp.gif

Nah, My Neighbor Totoro is too cute. Totoro can't be a Shinigami. He just can't. I refuse to believe that. derp.gif

I have noticed that most of Miyazaki's movies have the 'industrialization is bad' theme. I can't help but think Miyazaki is a tree hugger. laugh2.gif

He is. I remember reading that he is very adamant against nuclear energy. That people are against it truly baffles me, but whatever.

I'm talking about people in general. For certain individuals (like him) it's understandable, but I'm talking about the big picture. That's what really matters.

Miyazaki has never been shy about his pacifist or environmental views. Most of his films have had a pro-environment, anti-industrialization/anti-war message in them. Nausica of the Wind and Princess Mononoke really come to mind.

Nausica of the Wind and Princess Mononoke are masterpieces. I just finished watching those two the other night. Other than anti-war, pro-environment as RalliKai said, I can't find any ulterior themes hidden behind them. Next on the list is Porco Rosso, Howl's Moving Castle, Castle in the Sky, and Whisper of the Heart. I'm skipping Ponyo because I didn't feel it the first time I watched it. Ok, fine; its on the bottom of my watch list. What I really want to see is Miyazaki's early works. Like the really really old stuff that never got to see the light of day stateside.
