The anime thread sequel (it's still not as good as the Manga though),

Werewolf · 10 Apr 2018 at 05:43

I've just finished watching "Napping Princess" which was thoroughly enjoyable, and reminded me a bit of "Summar Wars" for the story, and "The Girl who leapt through time" for the visuals (with some mech that remind me of Eva).
I didn't really know much about it when I took a gamble on Alltheanime's pre-order price but I'm really glad I did as it's had me sat watching it for the last couple of hours (I should really have gone back to bed though

).

Talking of alltheanime they've got more pre-order offers up, both parts of "Snow White with the red hair" and "Yona of the Dawn" are £17 each, as is the full sets of "Kiss him not me" and "Brother's conflict", whilst "Ouran High School Host Club - Blu-ray Ltd edition" is £25.
I'm tempted by Snow White, but I've spent too much on anime recently and have a model show coming up.

I can’t get into it...

I think it took me about 4 or 5 episodes to really get into that one, then I really enjoyed it, I think I ended up going back and watching the first 3 after about episode 4 (I did something similar with Baccano the first time I watched that).

Same here, Napping Princess was an unknown gamble which turned out to be an enjoyable watch. Not feeling the love for those pre-order offers but can't really afford them at the moment as I droped ~£180 on a JPOP concert boxset at the end of last month and have up to three more concerts at ~£60 a go for the BDs coming up in the next few weeks (JPOP concert prices make Anime seem cheap!)

Congratulations to Eiko Kadono, (author of Kiki's Delivery Service) who has won the 2018 Hans Christian Anderson Award.

Saw Mary and the Witch's Flower.
Even ignoring the pre featurette you could certainly feel this was Ghibli in heritage and homage. Some of the visuals and.designs seems almost direct lifts. Very nice music too.

There's a few trailers which make it look like they used a lot of CGI instead of drawn animation for the really simple bits, I'm not sure whether it was just a weird trailer though.
Still, looking forward to it immensely

Good, my copy of the Japanese BD is currently somewhere in the post. If I remember correctly at least on of the pieces of music used is Rain by Sekai no Owari who are a favourite of mine.

edit. Good looks like Anime Limited are saying they have licensed season 4 of FMP.

Yes, Rain is used on the ending if I remember correctly

Also, I understand first episode of FMP Season 4 aired or airs today in Japan...finally

Now where's more Spice and Wolf...

memyselfandi · 13 Apr 2018 at 12:41

Thought so ... i have the single release of Rain from when it was released around the time the film came out in Japan last year.

I need to find a new anime to watch, not many good ones lately

Glanza · 13 Apr 2018 at 13:54

Tokyo Ghoul and Steins Gate started again this week, got those to watch over weekend.

What sort of things do you like, and have you gone back through some of the older stuff?

I keep finding older titles that I enjoy which is both handy and annoying as I can't keep up with new releases let alone stuff I heard about years ago but didn't manage to watch at the time.

I've barely managed to watch any of the last few seasons new titles (I've managed to only fall behind by about 3 episodes on The Ancient Magus Bride but that's the only one I kept up with!).

Went to go see it, they messed up the resolution so single line subs couldn't be seen, gave up after 15 minutes and got a refund, will watch at home instead. Silly Vue.

Sword Art Online II currently on (very limited) offer on All the Anime as the standard edition bundle of all volumes (with box to hold all four volumes) for £35.

also on the anime limited news front. Anime Limited have acquired streaming and home video rights to "full metal panic invisible victory".

Oh yes, and given how many times I've bought seasons 1-3 that'll be a must have ...

*starts enthusiastically humming the ~~A team~~ FMP theme with the occassional fumofuu thrown in for luck*

That's really good news, it'll be an instant buy for me given how much I've enjoyed the other FMP series, although not totally surprising given they've got the rights for the rest of it

After being good with ATA's other offer this week I ordered Sword Art Online S2 earlier

I'm a bad wolfy.

pecnarf · 14 Apr 2018 at 01:28

I would have order the sword art online season 2 off anime limited but I had already bought all the collector edition of SAO II blu-ray off anime limited as they released them, I too will pre-order FMP IV once it available to do so.
