I think Hosoda-san will always produce well-crafted emotional films. He's a great story-teller, and a great story requires getting your audience to connect in a deep and meaningful way with the central characters. It is possible to do that with sci-fi... look at "Voices from a Distant Star" or "The Place Promised in Our Early Days" as a good examples.
"Wolf Children" is now listed among my favourite animated films. After watching it this morning, I gave it the full 10/10.
Haha, that we have! I think we showed it last year. It was in the queue this year for the panel, but we went with the classic that is Garzey's Wing instead.
It's bad, but it's an entertaining, endearing bad.
Having recieved the following "Club messaging has been disabled for now. This will likely return in the future." every time I try to message all club members. And after spending about an hour trying to find out if they even have an ETA on the return, I decided I have to do this the old fashioned way.
Time to nominate your favorite anime!
Rules are simple, nominate a single anime or second one that someone else has nominated.
You may nominate something you have nominated before, but not a previous winner.
Any finished anime series, movie, or finished OAV is eligible. Any anime series currently airing is not.
Please include a url link to the anime that you are nominating as occasionally the name is repeated, but the series are completely different (i.e. Macross).

I'm sorry, but we must decline your invitation to Critics and Connoisseurs. This for infringing rule 3 of our entry requirements: "The 'Completed' sections of your Anime and Manga lists each may not contain more than 5% of entries not awarded any sort of rating."
You are, however, welcome to re-apply after changing your list to be in accordance with this rule, if you wish.
yea, the same thing here. I almost gave it up. I'm so glad that I didn't, it was awesome!!! I thought the same thing about Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu and I know that everybody liked it so much. Gonna start it up again this weekend. I hate dropping series.
Yeah I agree with you concerning peoples motivations too, I personally see no harm trying to lower my carbon footprint if it has a chance for my son to live in a cleaner world - plus my fuel bills are lower too :)

I've got a new one too, but bb code seems to be down right now, so I can't post it.
Next time you find one, post it to the club comments or my profile so I'll see it faster.
We absolutely love Dracula. If you can find a way to watch it, we recommend it.
A favorite line, "Soup?! Don't be a fool!"
