Hi! :D
I'm about 8 or 9 episodes behind in your podcast ^_^

Have you done a Spring preview/ thoughts on this seasons anime episode yet?

kaiji movie? what is that?

Cool podcast, bro. It reminds me of what it's like to completely enjoy any type of anime. Sounds like you've got a lot of enthusiasm since you tend to call stuff "brilliant" and mean it. I've kinda grown to be super picky about what I watch. I hope I can get the enthusiasm back some day.

Oh, I know all about Anno's little tantrum with Kare Kano, but even if he decides it's the worst thing he's ever done, I still consider it one of his best works. And what is a good creator without coming to loathe their own work? Anyone who is satisfied completely with anything they've ever done is no good and will never get any better. That's how we grow--we strive to become better than we already are, even if it does mean looking back at the things we do with hatred. And why? Because those things are what we see as our failures.

I think on a deeper metaphoric level, the traffic lights were not just a shout out to EVA, but it meant something to the progression of Yukino and Arima's relationship and the bumps they encounter. Not to mention, it just looked good, even if they truly had no symbolism.

And yes, I know about his dropping out of it, so I also consider his Kare Kano to be like A.I. or Persuasion or something. Incomplete, though for what he did, I loved it. I just consider it to be a great book I read where someone tore out the last few chapters, and stuck in the pages of some other book to fill it up. I don't discredit what I read before, but it will never be the true work if the original author, so to speak.

"Whoa, that was far too lesbian to be heterosexual."

I think you made my morning. Listened to your podcast about Aoi Hana, and I quite enjoyed it.

As per the gay-Saki, Aoi Hana isn't like that. It's a big misconception that most of the girls are gay in AH, because they're not. In Japan, and especially in the shoujo genre, girls are extremely affectionate to one another. In fact, lots of girls have admiration-crushes on other girls, and it's quite normal. They're a lot more open about being romantic (keep in mind, not like romance-romantic) with other girls.

I went to a girls' school myself, and while I've never met a lesbian in all my years there, the girls were very open and affectionate with one another. They gave each other chocolates on Valentine's Day, always hugged one another, or were hanging over one another, cheered like fangirls when say the upperclassmen were playing sports. It's a sense of openness you can get to have without people ever condemning you to "You're gay!"

Should be awesome :D

That's what I said. 5pm (right now) at my place. Remember?

Niice list. Idk how I stumbled upon it. Soul eater is great though, and only has one ninja from the like 10-15 characters lol. (The ninja has cool moves to) It's good :D

Nice list =D

had a revision lecture from 12.00-2.00

I checked the labs after then but you weren't there so I left. Good luck for tomorrow! See you at uni some time before they start anyway!

hey dude I'm at uni now. Coming?

More punk than emo, surely. But the series won't be wrapped up next episode because there's a movie to follow. So with one episode left, that will probably end on a cliffhanger + a movie later this year, there's plenty of time to wrap up. Sounds annoying, but movie = bigger budget!

I like how the number 11 is factored into the series. Mr Outside was a big soccer fan, and there are 11 players on a soccer team. But then you have the twelth selecao who stole Juiz at the end, who is clearly seperate from the rest - the Supporter or Mr Outside himself. Then you have 11 episode.

Wow ep 10 was awesome

He was an hero!!
