Kids on the Slope is great - highly recommended. Great soundtrack too!

I feel your pain, Sarex - I just watched the Berserk: The Golden Age Arc films, which end on an absolute eff you.

I tend to agree with Stewart Lee on political correctness. "It's an often clumsy negotiation towards a formally inclusive language. There's all sorts of problems with it but it's better than what we had before."

I actually quite liked her, though that's probably because I pandered to her and agreed with her every opinion like the spineless worm I am.

Thanks - I'll give these a go. Planetes is one of my absolute favourites. The second half is a bona fide emotional roller coaster. Good call! Recently watched Barakamon - very sweet - and I'm currently working my way through Hyouka. I'm greedy for more anime. I need an intervention.

Good tune. How was the movie? An experience! Glad I watched it but not sure I can recommend it, Val. Reminded me of a bit of David Lynch. But like Chris said - great soundtrack!

Done and done! ...and I mean done. 83 hours is far too much game for my liking. I found some of it a real slog - the repetitive open world elements especially. Still, I mostly enjoyed the main quest - Morrigan's role especially.

Thanks for the recommendations, dude - you'd be surprised how many of these I haven't seen. Samurai Champloo is great though! That I haven't watched Evangelion is probably sacrilege. I really should give it a go.

I'd be interested in hearing everyone's top five anime series. Any takers?

Same here, Chris - thought they did a great job with the English dub. I found Kyouma a bit obnoxious to begin with but that's all part of his deal. Glad I stuck with it.

Yeah - the second half of the anime is an absolute ball buster. I've just started watching Hyouka on your recommendation. Looks good!

...bummer.
