Watched From Up on Poppy Hill at 1am this morning. Didn't enjoy it. First let down from Studio Ghibli for me.

That's one of my favourites :O

It had the look of a SG movie, but it felt like a bad slice of life/school anime. Which is probably what they were going for, but I felt that the stuff about their father/s wasn't as emotional or interesting as the plots in other SG movies, and it wasn't enough to rescue the film from feeling like a rushed slice of life anime.

Whisper of the Heart and Grave of the Fireflies are next for me.

roughly 3 hours later:

Whisper of the Heart was good. Similar to From Up on Poppy Hill in the way that it bares resemblance to slice of life and school anime, but differs in the way that it doesn't suck. It also avoided being a trashy teen romance, and provides nice insight into the world of junior high students.

hey it double posted instead of merging into one

Strike The Blood, i think it's pretty dang good!
Another good one is Log Horizon. It's kinda like SAO.

Strike the blood so far has been pretty good but here is where you downfall. Log horizon is completely different to SAO. Why? Well for one you cant die, so far there has been no clear way of getting out of the game, combat is different, theres hundreds of thousands trapped in the game not 10,000 in SAO. So yeah very much different

Anyways you all should watch samurai flamenco, its about a young model who ever since he was young always wanted to be a hero and with the help of a police officer he becomes samurai flamenco. Its basicly just kick ass but an anime version but it is directed by the guy who made Baccano so WATCH IT

This anime is a true masterpiece. I don't say it about things very often, but this anime really changed the way I look at life and is one of the best things I've ever seen.

Hopefully it's a quality over quantity anime if it can change the way you look at like.

It also avoided being a trashy teen romance, and provides nice insight into the world of junior high students. Spoiler The movie was paced well, it wasn't rushed or forced but unlike From Up on Poppy Hill it kept moving, and the romance was good (besides the whole "will you marry me" thing at the end which felt quite dumb, but I suppose it was to show that they were made for each other). The characters were realistic and 3 dimensional. Typical of Studio Ghibli, fantasy elements were present, both in Shizuku's story and the antique store, but the realistic and relatable nature of the film is what makes it stand out. Yoshifumi Kondo did an excellent job directing the film, and it differs to films done by Miyazaki particularly in the animation and backgrounds (which are spectacular) but it still is a SG film and resemble's Hayao Miyazaki's other films. It references other SG films, and I thought the Baron was dressed similarly to the Prince in Howl's Moving Castle. The dub was good, it's not a film where you must watch it with subtitles. The ending still kinda sucked though. A lighthearted movie that aims to give you that warm fuzzy feeling, well worth watching. hey it double posted instead of merging into one radical
