Just like any other media, it has its share of pukes and good ones....this is my view on it. Whimsical? Informative? Overly serious? Too silly? Why the hell am I still watching anime?

The list is somewhat incomplete, more updated will be posted up soon. Definitely will watch Fate Zero Season 2, some passing interest on Accel World, Uchuu Kyodai and TasogareX Amnesia. And plus the new jazz anime series from Watanabe and Kanno. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Looks like 2012 is picking up. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Sakamichi no Apollon?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Wow. Just check out these 2 names for this upcoming series. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Director: Shinchiro Watanabe (Bebop, Champloo)&lt;br /&gt;
Music Composer: Yoko Kanno.(Macross, Bebop)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The series is about 3 students in school and their passion for jazz despite came from very different background. What else I need to say? Only question mark for me is the quality of the writing. Animated by New Madhouse and Tezuka Productions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Scheduled for April 2012 release. Something worthwhile to watch for 2012 for me at least after the end of Fate Zero Season 1. &lt;br /&gt;

Sequel, prequel or whatever for new story, I do not know. Personally I think this is a rather crass attempt to milk the franchise for its worth but I got hand it to them, it is the most successful anime in commercial sense this year. Let's just hope they do not overstay their welcome here.&amp;nbsp; &lt;br /&gt;

I do not know if the movie is going to be a glorified recap of the series or a completely new story. I do remember Urobochi hinted that the series has yet to run its full course yet in Vol 6 commentary track, much to surprise to the voice actress cast of the series. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I awaiting for more details, should be coming up soon in the Newtype Magazine. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_pub="stormy001";&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a name="data:post.title" id="data:post.url" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, &amp;quot;&amp;quot;, this.id, this.name);" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/anime" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=anime" alt=" " /&gt;anime&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31285705-469850865937700943?l=anime-comments.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://anime-comments.blogspot.com/2011/11/madoka-movie-really.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Stormy001)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-HpOIrnmKwHs/TrjNa_2XSfI/AAAAAAAAAU0/NewmgzzmzQY/s72-c/a9448b2d.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31285705.post-5579648672222273367</guid><pubDate>Mon, 31 Oct 2011 21:56:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-12T20:44:35.595+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Academic paper</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">industry</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Economic</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">current events</category><title>How much an anime episode cost (2010)?</title><description>A typical 20-30 min anime episode in Japan cost breakdown:&lt;br /&gt;

Values were adjusted to 2010 USD inflation so the total is around USD 145,000 per episode. I wonder if there is any difference between pre and post March 11th tsunami in costing. AFAIK, any sales of Bluray/DVD that passes 4000 unit tends to get sequel. Best indicator is sales of 1st volume in first week itself since it will establish general trend onwards for particular series. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Amazon Japan for example, Magica Puella Magi Madoka vol 1 Bluray is selling at 5,826 yen now (76 USD). &lt;br /&gt;

What the fuck?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Leaving people hanging halfway is not a very smart move, UFOTABLE. Judging from the news, it would seem that the anime series will split 12-13 eps for 2 volumes of novel each, I was made to understand there are 25 eps. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I really don't get this decision, to be honest. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And yes, the anime have lavish production and a lot of expectation was pumped into the series. It remains to be seen if the series will not end up like ill-fated Fractale. So far, it looks good. No one wants to remember Tsukihime anime or bland JC STAFF Fate/Stay Night. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://theakiba.com/2011/10/06/fatezero-has-two-seasons-second-season-in-april-2012/"&gt;Source&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_pub="stormy001";&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a name="data:post.title" id="data:post.url" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, &amp;quot;&amp;quot;, this.id, this.name);" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/anime" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=anime" alt=" " /&gt;anime&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31285705-4254523865558642969?l=anime-comments.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://anime-comments.blogspot.com/2011/10/fate-zero-is-going-to-be-split-into-2.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Stormy001)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://img.youtube.com/vi/-f5n9M3BAbk/default.jpg" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31285705.post-6612191079392321516</guid><pubDate>Wed, 17 Aug 2011 12:01:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-08-17T20:04:56.712+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Video</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Anime</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Trailer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Series</category><title>Trailers from C 80, the ones that I interested in</title><description>

Maybe. &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takeru_Satoh"&gt;Takeru Sato&lt;/a&gt; will be Kenshin in live action adaptation. Supposedly he is a big fan of the anime/manga while he is growing up. Warner Bros Japan is willing to invest on the movie, produced by this studio called Swan. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seen Space Battleship Yamato and I am not too impressed by the movie. Most of my friends did not survive Gantz live action either so I am kinda cool to this development. It is about time, I suppose. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The buzz is high since this is highly regarded franchise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Time will tell if this movie going suck like the examples I mentioned or not. 2012 release. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.sanspo.com/geino/news/110628/gnj1106280514015-n1.htm"&gt; Source &lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript"&gt;var addthis_pub="stormy001";&lt;/script&gt;&lt;a name="data:post.title" id="data:post.url" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, &amp;quot;&amp;quot;, this.id, this.name);" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"&gt;&lt;img src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/lg-share-en.gif" width="125" height="16" alt="Bookmark and Share" style="border:0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/200/addthis_widget.js"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- AddThis Button END --&gt;&lt;a href="http://technorati.com/tag/anime" rel="tag"&gt;&lt;img style="border:0;vertical-align:middle;margin-left:.4em" src="http://static.technorati.com/static/img/pub/icon-utag-16x13.png?tag=anime" alt=" " /&gt;anime&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/31285705-3351026512152933708?l=anime-comments.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://anime-comments.blogspot.com/2011/07/kenshin-real-live-action-hmmmmm.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Stormy001)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31285705.post-6774466355666607142</guid><pubDate>Thu, 30 Jun 2011 10:23:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-06-30T18:26:40.473+08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Video</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">weird</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">social impact</category><title>Anime in real girl....(shivers)</title><description>&lt;object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bHOnQjQs-zM?version=3"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bHOnQjQs-zM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot brain this.

This time he asked the manga of the series to be discontinued after a complaint from mangaka herself that the story is "uninteresting". He is basically tell the &lt;a href="https://twitter.com/#!/yamacane_0901/status/83576956733501441"&gt;mangaka to take a hike and stop riding on other's back&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Despite his request, the manga is still being published, now it is up to chapter 10 in Japan. Volume 2 will be out soon too. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh so much drama. How typically him, I still remember his pledge that he will quit anime business if Fractale turns into lemon. Ironically, the manga has more coherent pace than the rushed anime. Oh, I haven't blog what I don't like about series.
