Rave: Yes can't wait for the anime of Mirai Nikki- no chance of fillers since all the manga has been completed! | |

| ^I wonder if the anime adaption was successful enough to warrant a sequel. Still, it's kind of unfair if Studio Deen doesn't give us another season because the last couple of arcs were really getting interesting, and plus I need my closure!
It feels so long since I last had my dose of Umineko. (I think it was the first thread in the anime section too lol)

| ^Too lazy with the visual novels. There's still the content of EP 5 End of the Golden Witch and EP 6, Dawn of the Golden Witch to go through. Let's hope Studio Deen can increase its production quality unlike the last season. Chiru ftw! | |

| ^I wouldn't mind if a different studio picked up the rights to Umineko, but Studio Deen can be good sometimes when they want to. Athough their inconsistent animation is fairly commonplace... I remember a couple of the Umineko character's hair were 'changing' colours!
ahh I really do hope the last two EPs gets animated! At least the 2nd season of Baka to Test is airing next season haha! | |

| ooh the manga~ I read one chapter but thought the art style was a bit awkward. Perhaps the character's faces was a bit more chubby than their anime counterparts lol. I think Baka to Test is the only show I'll picking up next season. (and maybe no.6 and Mayo Chiki) http://www.animeph.com/summer-2011-new-anime-season-preview-list *still waiting for the RC preview* | |

| Just saw AnoHana Episode 10. Was browsing the related forum on MAL and found this diagram: - Spoiler:
I have to question one thing though... - Spoiler:
Didn't notice anything saying Poppo liked Menma. Unless it was just hinted.
Also... - Spoiler:
Does Tsuruko hate cross-dressers? Her attitude at times towards Yukiatsu makes me think this. Or was it just that he was cross-dressing as Menma?
Well, only one more episode to go. Now waiting for Sunday so I can download Episode 10 of Deadman Wonderland. EDIT: Updated AnoHana "who likes/hates/aspires to be/etc" tree diagram. Think it was done by the same person as the previous. Thought I'd share. - Spoiler:

| @jazz: - Spoiler:
The only reason why Tsuruko said that out loud to those two annoying girls was because she was simply upset. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, which is understandable considering Yukiatsu doesn't seem to have any feelings for her and is instead taking comfort in Anaru, even if it's just to be sympathetic.
More Ano Hana spoilers: - Spoiler:
Yukiatsu, gee. I have been giving him chances every week to redeem himself, and I thought he was starting to develop a lot as a character, but the scene in the latest episode where he was holding the wig... reminds me of the movie Psycho . I don't hate him but it's so easy to view him as a creep.
Ah, Poppo is a strange one. Somehow I don't get the feeling that he has romantic feelings for Menma, but who knows. Bring on the final episode!
I can't wait for the finale! XD | |

| @smiles: I lolled too. - Spoiler:
There's a surprising amount of one-sided loves and complex love triangles (squares...dodecahedrons...this-person-likes-that-person-who-can't-forget-about-this-person-but-might-like-that-person-who-likes-this-person-who-still-likes-this-other-person situation.) for an anime that doesn't actually have romance as a genre listed on either Wikipedia or MAL.
@Haru: I hope the final's good. - Spoiler:
Wig scene was creepy. Also don't like how Yukiatsu basically put Jintan on the spot - when he wanted to "re-enact" the last meeting before Menma's death.
Also hoping for a good ending: - Spoiler:
Would be nice if the others could see Menma before she passes on.
Also wondering about this: - Spoiler:
Saa-kun's reaction. When Menma is still there and Yukiatsu asks if she's still there and Saa-kun is kind of like "Huh?"...or something like that. I wonder if they'll say anything to him, or if he'll ask anything...
And the flower in the title...what is it? | |

| Just started Yondemasu Yo, Azazel-san and Denpa Onna To Seishun Otoko. It's France/Shinji, Italy/Ulquiorra and Jintan! Also... - Spoiler:
How exactly does Erio breathe inside that futon?
And how did she manage to tie it around herself in the first place?

| Just watched the final episode of AnoHana. Can't believe it's over. But they ended it well. Also, I liked this, made me both happy and sad, more or less at the same time. - Spoiler:
 They can actually see her  But it's so sad because they're saying goodbye...
Also, curious: - Spoiler:
When Poppo says he saw where Menma went the day she died and then he says about seeing her body drifting down the river or something and not being able to forget that. Was she actually alive when he first saw her and he couldn't help her, so she died? Or had she already died when he saw her?

| Yes Ano Hana! @ Jazz: - Spoiler:
I reckon she may have been already dead at that point or else I would have thought Menma would have cried out or something if she saw Poppo. I still don't get how exactly Menma fell into the water...would it have been like from an earlier ep- looking at the carp? Oh well, guess it's open-ended.

| @Suigintou - Spoiler:
True, that.
As for how she died, I think she slipped and fell. Remember back in Episode 4 when Anaru slips and Jintan grabs her. There's a flashback and you can see a shoe just next to the bank and Jiintan says "If that were to happen to you. too...with everything as it is...Just like with Menma..." In the past, after Jintan runs off, she runs after him. My theory is that she must have slipped and fell, probably either hit her head or maybe couldn't swim, and ended up drowning. Not sure where Poppo comes in now, but maybe he went after Jintan and Menma and then he saw her.
It's not definite though, so, as you say, it's still pretty much open-ended.

| First episode of Usagi Drop exceeded my very high expectations. The art style is reminiscent of a watercolor portrait, and the music adds to every scene. This anime is just something different from everything else being shown right now, it's refreshing to have it on screen.
It reminds of why I watch anime, because it's something different. And not just a rehash, or remake, or inspired by, or recreated by, but something that no-one else is willing to do. And too few shows are willing to take that risk. | |

| ^Agreed.
What took me by surprise was how a 79 year old man can still... OK! I'll just leave it at that. It's a big plus when the main character is not younger than me, and it's even better when everything just feels natural. Slice of life at its finest, although not the kind that you may expect! | |

| I just started Usagi Drop as well. Art is different than what I'm used to, but I think it's definitely going to be different than most other series I've watched. Not going to question the actions of said 79-year-old man though. Also post-credit was cute. | |
