    New Hayao Miyazaki movie in production, and he's actually directing for the first time in six years. Momoru Hasoda (Digimon, Summer Wars, The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, etc) is coming out with a new movie as well. **** yeah.

    Summer Wars is ****ing awesome, I need to watch The Girl Who Leapt Throught Time...

    Beautiful week at anime. This mean't we watched K, Amnesia, Spice and Wolf and Attack on Titan. I'm definitely going to watch more of K, maybe Attack on Titan too, but the other two not so much.

    actually waylander, im pretty sure in one of the movies they show puck in a traveling wagon passing guts, though neither of them notice nor speak to one another. More of a hint at things to come in the future.

    Also, sky is evil for not liking spice and wolf. How could anyone not like it?

    In the new movies or in the series? I've only seen the first of the new movies so don't know about them but he's definitely not in the series.

    Yeah, hes not in the series, but I believe it was the second golden age movie. It was only about a second of screentime for puck, so it could be easily missed. Hell, if I hadnt read the manga I wouldnt have noticed it at all.

    Edit: just checked, hes in Golden Age Arc II: The Battle for Doldrey, and as I just said, its a VERY brief appearance.

    Interesting. Will keep an eye out for him then.

    Been reading the Manga, I'm now up to the start of the eclipse and Griffith just got the behelit back. The original series skipped over a lot of stuff. Sure not too much of it was nescesary but the princess being involved in the rescue is kind of an important thing. Not to mention the assassins and the second demon guy after Zodd....

    Anyone got any good manga recommendations?

    I want to read more, but I can't find any good ones that I haven't seen the anime for.

    I know "anything good" isn't much to go on, but anything with a good story that keeps me engaged for a few chapters at a time.

    Try Berserk, Shingeki no Kyojin, Old Boy, Sun Ken Rock, or Kataribe no List. Though I doubt you will like any of them.

    Dun no if you have seen this yet but... Swimming Anime | Know Your Meme It's kinda close to home (I swim, only decent though, and I don't have abs halfway near as good as thiers, hot damn :p) but whatever. I hope the cast isn't to shallow (pun not intended). It's the reason why I watched Oruan High School Host Club (I know I know shut the **** up). It had a likeable cast with odd bits of humor. My one complaint is that there is no women as of right now. Anime is littered with the excesive use of boobs (ever watch queens blade, like srsl...) They have the PERFECT chance to do it here. And from what I can tell its an all girls cast... :(

    The unnamed swimming anime is being done my KyoAni, the same people who did K-On!, Tamako Market and a couple of other Slice of life anime series, so don't expect too much from it in terms of a proper story. I'm going to watch it because I know there'll be some tense BL moments, and they make me laugh and cringe at the same time.

    well, Oculus Rift is as close as we hve to it right now. Definitely not SAO style VR, but a step in the right direction.

    Anyways, probably gonna start reading the manga for hentai ouji to warawanai neko since the anime has caught my interest.

    Well, I'm now watching Another and Valvrave the Liberator.

    I've never been into mecha anime but I've got to say this one is rather good, quite a bit darker than others that I've seen.

    Another looks to be good, but a mind**** too.
