Speaking of Satoshi Kon, I have yet to see Paranoia Agent... gotta tackle that sometime soon. First comes catching up with some of the seasonal stuff and then probably studio deen's fate/stay night. Which will likely lead to some more fate. And then some more. And so on. At least, that's how it went when I started bakemonogatari... one led to the other and in the end I just couldn't stop watching.

The whole premise of Maquia screams "tearjerker" about as much as plastic memories and violet evergarden do.
Still... it takes AGES until you actually find anime movies anywhere to watch. I unfortunately missed the opportunity to see Eureka Seven: Hi Evolution 1 in january... haven't heard a thing about that one since. I still regret not having watched it (and while we're at it, NGNL zero in the movie theatre) back then...
Even IF it came out soon to watch via internet, it's a completely different experience.

Well, the best I got over here was Kimi No Na Wa 1.5 years after the initial japan release in certain cinemas on two days as a special. Yes, two days only. I have no idea why they decided that apparently the most successful anime movie was not worth more time, but yeah.

Stuff like that slightly really annoys me.

Hinamatsuri was in top form as ever.

I recently picked this one up and god damn. Where to begin, all of the characters are so likeable and amazing in their own way.

Nitta is hilarious as a protagonist, the sheer "yes yes it all good" flowing out of him coupled with hina's good intentions gone bad character is comedy gold.

Anzu is just adorable.

And i forgot her name currently(bartender girl) close-up shots are golden and just the sheer mess her life becomes as an "ordinary girl".

All in all top show in my book for some chilling and honest to god belly laughter.

Peace,

Aaaand I pretty much binged my way through Fate/Stay Night (the one from 2006). Sooo... next up is Fate/Zero then. Or Carnival Phantasm, though I doubt I would understand all the jokes... eh, I can always rewatch it later in that case. After zero (and season 2 of it) I will probably go for UBW. Maybe something not fate afterwards, but I'm not set on that yet. Heh, maybe the Kara no Kyoukai movies.
Anyways, I got a lot to watch.

Small, but awesome thing I found out only just now: seems like fate is on my side (...I'm not apologising for that one) this time around and I had the PERFECT timing for watching the series... this week's sunday a local cinema will be showing Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel 1!
I better interrupt carnival phantasm for both seasons of Fate/Zero then. Because honestly, when I get the chance, I'd rather watch movies on the big screen. It's where they're supposed to be watched. ESPECIALLY ones with great visuals. And knowing Ufotable, I can expect some damn amazing stuff!

I better step up my binge-watching game then...

Kara no kyoukai is awesome.

Would highly recommend.

Hinamatsuri's brilliant first scene makes clear that some of those bleach/naruto action animators found their way to Studio Feel.

I couldn't stop laughing at that. I mean really nitta, going to sleep and then comming back?
Fucking golden.

And hina's dry attitude is so amazing for those kind of gags, like the "celebration to leutenant" for nitta(the box scene), just hilarious.

I'm catching up on some fox spirit matchmaker, it has some dry humor going for it and i sort of enjoy the story. The not knowing backstory's keep me intrigued for the moment.

Grancrest Senki? Huh... watch it at your own risk I'd say. I don't really like it, it feels... off, somehow. I can't really describe it, but if I had to, "good" would not necessarily be among the words I'd use.

Yeah, if I had to point out a flaw of Houseki no Kuni, it'd be that it takes the world building a bit too far sometimes. It tries to flesh out EVERYTHING in the world, up to the last bit. And the story is a bit complicated at the beginning since it just throws everything at you.

I finished the first 3 episodes of Fate/Zero so far and what can I say? Release order is definitely the correct way to watch it from what I can judge so far. I tried to watch Fate/Zero twice before without watching Stay Night first and always thought that there were WAY too many characters in the first episode... but all of that changes with the knowledge of about half of them.
I have to say though, I REALLY like the soundtrack so far. Kajiura did a fantastic job there.
