Whelp. Time for a re-watch! Universe, followed by the OVAs, then it'll be on to Outlaw Star and a few other choice anime to complete the Nostalgia classic.

Re-watching Moribito because my roommate hadn't seen it. I'm really enjoying it despite this being my 3rd full viewing and like 4th viewing of the first half of the series.
Monday in another country on work, crappy day with lots of stress and the prospect of even a worse week because of insane work load until I take my plane back home next Friday...
And yet, it seems it was a fantastic day after watching today's Non Non Biyori... I'm going to be miss the happiness this show gave me every Monday but I plan to buy the entire show. The studio deserves all my support for 12 Mondays filled with joy and happiness.

Yeah, that show is so adorable.
Sentai picked it up for release, too. Yay!

I need someone who's read the Arpeggio of the Blue Steel manga to report to the goat locker asap. Because I am potentially HACKED OFF HARD over this week's episode.
Spoiler:
Beyond Iona's two sisters being evil creepy little girls, and Iona's fething awesome new heavy cruiser upgrade, did those fethers really just kill of Takao? She was my favorite character! I am also kinda upset at the dwindling number of ships in Blue Fleet even as the AIs under Gunzyo's command increase. Goddess dammnit I want full scale fleet actions here! Since it's implied Maya (who apparently doesn't exist?), Kongo and Iona's creepy siblings join Blue Fleet I want to see the two Submarines, Three fast battleships (four if you count the one nutter), two heavy cruisers and Iona's.... heavy submarine? Duking it out hardcore with everything the fog can throw at them in the Pacific Any spoilerific hints from the manga on that one? At least tell me if Takao is okay or not!.

Spoiler:
The thing with Takao happens in the manga too, sort of. Takao gets sunk by (characters not appearing in this anime) as part of a decoy operation. It's not entirely unexpected, considering that her actions from here on in the manga are bound up with a lot of characters not appearing in this anime, In the manga 400 and 402 save her core and hand it off to Yamato, who partially rebuilds her. Unfortunately 400 and 402 make a lot less sense in this version than they did in the manga. In it they were operating under the orders of Yamato who is unfortunately entirely removed from the anime. Along with Haruna's much more bloody assault on the Army, and the fact that Haruna, Maya, and Kirishima are off doing their own thing with Kongo not really in the picture anymore save where she's starting to come within Yamato's sphere of influence.

That alternate dimension may or may not be a higher plane of being, and may or may not be merely the mindscape/a psychic construct of Akira himself- due to him being such a OMGHUEG brainpsychic guy. Kaneda's powers went out of control because of his age and.. hormones, I guess? Yeah.

Am I the only one watching Gundam Build Fighters right now? I enjoy the hell out of the show, but it also pisses me off to no end when they constantly feature Mobile Suits THAT HAVE NO MODELS! The most recent episode, 10, is especially guilty about that with the Cobra Gundam, Geymalk, and GUAIZ showing up. Not to mention there was a Gelgoog using the SUMO's flight system. Or there's pretty much ANY time something shows up from X. Octaves have shown up several times along with the GX Bits. The Gunpla World Tournament commercial early on even showed stuff like Crossbone Vanguard Mobile Suits riding in Zanscare Empire Einrads! Dammit Bandai, you should be pumping out kits of these things left and right!

As much as I love Gundam anime and Gundam models, I can't bring myself to watch the gunpla builder series. I even have tried to implement Gundam models into my 40k army lol (BTW is anyone ever made a tabletop game for Gundam, they could have all my money forever) It's like fruit cake to me. The models are awesome, the anime is awesome, but put them together and it's gross. Though I have not seen any of the episodes from the new ones, so maybe I should give it a chance.

TBH, Gundam Build Fighters feels a lot like G Gundam to me, except without G Gundam's over-the-top ham and awesome.

Out of interest, does anyone have a favourite OST - either a single song/tune or a whole soundtrack?
Personally, I like the Bleach battle music, but the song played in Kill la Kill when Ryuko throws the beatdown is awesome - sadly, I can't find the whole track on youtube, just a 30-second demo:

And of course the one music / video I'm certain I heard / saw most times in my life is:

Just finished watching Fullmetal Alchemist. All I can say that it was really good, granted the ending wasn't what I expected(or hoped for) but it was still really good.
Onto Brotherhood as I'v heard that it is much better.

It's awesome with at high volume with the Bass cranked up!
FMA Brotherhood's entire soundtrack, so beautiful.
I also really liked some of claymore's stuff, panty and stocking, Rideback, and the remix for Red Fraction by Mell
There's a long list, but as far as classics go Tenchi had a decent sound track, Outlaw Star's OP was legendary and the rest of the music good (The EPs are some of my favorite music ever), I can't freaking believe none of you have mentioned Cowboy Bebop yet though! Devil Survivor 2: The Animation had a phenomenal sound track... IS the darling of Dakka provides a solid J-Pop soundtrack for those who enjoy that sort of thing, and Bodacious Space Pirates deserves special mention for it's OP, a cross over between a sentai team idol group and a megadeth guitarist.
