Would our profile pages automatically play music, it'd be this one for me:
Honestly, should you like music by Abdullah Ibrahim (Dollar Brand), then Sketchbook is a must-watch-listen. example (youtube)
OK, I saw some anime on TV already back in the 1970s, but noone knew they were from Japan. Then maybe 15-20 years ago I saw Cowboy Bebop (and Samurai Champloo) on midnight-TV and was awestruck. But when I then asked in online communities if anyone more in the know could suggest sth. similar the answer always was : "there isn't. :(" And actually I like how everyone gave that disappointing but honest answer, instead of trying to make me watch [generic-shonen-battle title] or whatever. It likely almost all would have paled compared to Cowboy Bebop.
Then last year I stumbled across Kara no Kyoukai - sadly I no longer remember who or what made me d/l that - but once again I was struck with awe (films 1, 2, 3, 4, 7 - NOT : film 5 and 6). That finally made me register with some anime site - found me MAL and must say overall there are lots of nice features and members here, and grew accustomed to what is not so great in features or members...
PS - No, I do not "love all anime", I appreciate some anime.
trying to get more consistency into my ratings, but that's a boring task to actually do. In any way, even if I rate sth. a 4 I may have to some extent enjoyed it, or at least parts of it.
notes to self:
look up anime with music by Taku_Iwasaki, because Ben-To
I honestly thought I spoiled the series to everyone for a sec. I made that sig long time ago and can't change my avatars and signatures weekly like some people here. It's set in stone. I can only modify them.
As I said earlier I forgot most of the series and still patiently waiting for a DTB: Shikkoku no Hana adaptation.
Good night.
I am assuming you're talking about the one from that support thread. It's from this twitter, who loves smoothly coordinated movements. Scroll down and you'll find it. I named it whatever though :P

For GuP: 5.5 and 10.5 can be skipped. They are infodumps about the characters, the sport and the tanks. It is narrated by Akiyama. She does drop the occasional useful tidbit: for example I believe this is where it is mentioned that the shells have a computer chip that determines if the shell penetrates or not.
So basically:
Watch 1-7
Watch "The Real Anzio Battle". It isn't a must to watch it here but makes the most sense chronologically.
Watch 8-12
Watch "The Real Anzio Battle" if you didn't do so earlier. It is important to get it in before der Film since it introduces the "Italian" girls, especially their leader Anchovy.
Watch der Film
Watch all the Specials. These are actually pretty good and very funny in places. The first two are a bit fanservice-y (the obligatory beach episode :) The 3rd one you get a tour of the school ship which was really interesting. The MAL entry mentions 6 but there is a 7th one that features the main antagonist from der Film visiting the Ooarai school ship.
The rest of the material is Akiyama's Tank Course: IIRC these are info dumps on tank units. The Picture Drama I don't remember: I scored them 6 so I guess they were OK.
re. characters. Actually Mako was my fav the first time through and Anzu my 2nd fav but after a re-watch I came to appreciate Anzu more. Both are in my top 10 characters. As you noticed Anzu is a surprisingly deep character in that she has several character traits -- even the main 5 characters only have one or two. Another of her traits is cooking which gets featured in a later episode (and in one of the Specials). Anzu wouldn't be Anzu without Momo and Yuzu, though. That trio makes for the best student council anywhere -- so funny in the mix of personalities and body shapes. Momo has a really strong performance in der Film BTW.
Fyi I recently re-watched Hoi Hoi San a couple times: God that is so hilarious. I almost die laughing when she spares the Anderson flycatching spider and when Combat-san succumbs to the "cowardly water attack" ROFL!
