Nah. It's bandit girl Tohru meets before events of series.
And she reminded me to finish Studio Ghibli's adaptation of Ronia The Robber's Daughter for some reason.

I guess there's always the 100 or whatever episodes of LoGH to fire through.


I remember that show, It was pretty good imho. Though I recall one or two of the characters had faces that only a mother could love.

K-On! got like a load of OVA's and a movie, though.

Eh...no. It's adorable as all fuck, but it's only 2 minutes per episode, and sometimes devoid of kitties.

I fucking love when there's obvious love interest and it doesn't end up nothing. Like in Akiba's Trip which pleases me too much for such a meh show.

Not really. It's not perfect, but it's not dead on arrival. Some of the acting is pretty wooden, and it's not quite got all it's philosophical ducks in the row, but it's well directed and is a pretty damn functional piece of Sci-Fi cinema. If you think this movie sucks, you have clearly not watched enough crap.

End of Youjo Senki episode 12 was pretty edgy.

Hope we get a season 2.

Between Thunderbolt Episode 5 and Twilight Axis, I'm stoked. :3

Fun story, the Japanese Gundam Twitter account put out a poll about what fans would want the next Gundam project to be, with the options being: Unicorn sequel, Hathaway's Flash, Crossbone, or a New UC series.

Crossbone won (Of course)... But it looks like they went with the 4th option...

... I'm not even surprised anymore.


Honestly, what sequel could they make of Unicorn. It's already over once Laplace is opened. Of course, given it's a prequel to late UC, we all know how much worse it could get.

As for Crossbone... I don't know, maybe they just didn't want a full 4 Cour series anymore. :/

I have no idea what they could do, and they probably couldn't come up with something to make a sequel of Unicorn either.

Well here's the thing, Crossbone is rather short. Crossbone itself could work as a 12 episode series, Skull Heart and Steel 7 could be OVAs/ONAs or movies, and Ghost could be a 24-39 episode series. So there's no reason they couldn't do it, they just don't want to (For some unexplained reason).

So, I finished Psycho Pass. It's fine. It has a reasonably good plot, and the premise is fairly interesting. That said, fans of cyberpunk and/or police procedurals are unlikely to find anything new or exciting here. The heavy use of CGI for complex objects doesn't do it any favours either. Ultimately, by the concluding few episodes I'd gotten bored. I knew where it was going and just had to watch it slowly grind towards the conclusion. I think I might actually have enjoyed it more if it had stuck with the formula it had early on, and focused on several small mysteries than one big one. I didn't hate it, but I have to give Psycho Pass a 6.5/10.
