BUU8800 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) Only Yesterday Hoo boy, got a bit emotional there at the end. My eyes were tearing up as Taeko decided to go back to Toshio while being cheered on by her classmates and childhood self. Anyway believe it or not this wasn't the first time I saw this movie. Turner Classic Movies had a month of Studio Ghibli films way back in I wanna say 2006 and I saw it then. I remember it stood out because it was the only movie they showed subtitled instead of dubbed, and at that time I wasn't nearly as used to watching subs as I am now. My memories of it though were understandably vague going into this rewatch considering it had been around 12 years. I definitely remembered the flashbacks with the story narrative, and one in particular with Taeko's father causing her to cry, though didn't recall the specifics. Movies like this are right up my alley though. I loved the flashbacks, the introspection, and the beautiful contrasting countryside scenes. Just the Slice of Life atmosphere, I'm a junkie for it. It was certainly a very beautiful film to look at too, but then Ghibli excels at that. Something else they excel at, and as I mentioned at the start, it could be pretty emotionally powerful as well. Poor Taeko! I found myself feeling sorry for her more than once during those flahbacks, but I guess she turned out alright regardless of any childhood hardships she had to endure. That was nice, a very feel good movie for me. I'm fluctuating between a high 8 and generous 9 for this one....I'll say 9. Well this was just the first of quite a few films I think I'll be checking out in the days ahead, and it was certainly a great start.

BUU8800 Posted January 23, 2018 Author Share Posted January 23, 2018 (edited) A Place Further Than The Universe 4 Gah! The girls looked so cute wrapped up and wiggling around in the title card like that! Yeah, I was wondering when Mari was gonna finally get around to telling mom. Hilarious horror movie-esque reaction and father abandonment. So Gin, the woman teased last week, is their Captain and Shirase's mom's friend. It certainly seemed to imply her mom is dead this week, but we'll see. Nice to see the girls finally practicing some field work. Enjoy that beautiful sunrise girls. Wonder if that very brief post-credits scene was meant to be a teaser for something ahead... Edited January 23, 2018 by BUU8800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 My Neighbors the Yamadas You know, I remember seeing the DVD cover to this way back and being instantly turned off by the character designs. So I passed on it, and figured I never would watch it, but in more recent years I've started watching several series with designs and art styles similar to this. Mainichi Kaa-san comes to mind. As does another series whose name escapes me at the moment....Shin Atashin'chi! I guess I've become more open-minded if you want to put it that way. So after watching Only Yesterday, yesterday, and seeing this recommended in related sections I figured why not? I definitely see some of the resemblances between the two. And while I don't think I liked this quite as much it was definitely another film that was right in my strike zone. Random everyday life scenes focusing on a family. I think my favorite scene was probably where the dad wanted to appreciate the coming of the first snowfall of the year with a picture and his family was having none of it. Though the son going crazy after speaking to a girl on the phone was nice too. I kinda wish we had gotten more of the younger daughter, her biggest segment where the family loses her happened to coincide with a bad flair up of the toothache I've been suffering from the last few days so I couldn't enjoy it as much as I otherwise might have. I was delighted to see Que Sera Sera in the film, I love that song. I remember being first exposed to it at the end of the classic Simpsons episode Bart's Comet, and then many years later via Alfred Hitchcock's 1950s remake of his own film, The Man Who Knew Too Much. That was a wonderful little ending scene where it was included. But now I'm rambling so uh, yeah. This was a good movie. I see they actually made a 61 episode anime series after it adapting the same source material. Certainly wouldn't mind checking some of that out but I doubt it's translated. Regardless, I'll give this a solid 8 out of 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUU8800 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 In This Corner of the World Well that was certainly brutal, crushing even. From the death of Harumi until the end pretty much I had tears flowing, and when that random little girl lost her mom so graphically just...God that was rough. I think I'm gonna file this one away under movies I only ever need to see once. Don't get me wrong it was fantastic. A visually stunning, haunting wartime drama. Honestly with the way Suzu moved and was depicted part of me felt like I actually was watching an oldtimey live action war picture, minus the occasional times it played with the drawing and color aspects. Pretty much the complete opposite end of the spectrum from the movie I just watched a few hours ago. Just....quite a film. This'll stick with me I can tell you that. 9/10. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Neo Ranga 13-14 I feel like this show is giving me more questions than answers, and it's honestly worrying me. Who exactly are the Kyoshinkai and since when were they actively after Ranga? What did they give to the Defense Force to allow them to make Big ASE? Why's the Defense Force going after Ranga when they previously agreed with the Shimabaras to stop their attempts at destroying it? Why did Takesue claim he had retired from service when he's clearly still heading up the Defense Force? Why the hell is that teacher Yuuhi has a crush on hanging around both the Defense Force and the National Interest Party? Just whose side is he even playing in that case, if not the Shimabaras'? Why haven't the elders and Laburey done anything since their debut episodes? Will Joel ever inherit control of Ranga like he clearly should, being Masaru's son? Even after getting all the answers to the relationship between Hiromi and Asao, I feel like I need more information to really feel invested in this show. Oh well. At least next episode's a Toshiyuki Tsuru episode. Those are always good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 Miss Hokusai Oh wait, this was based on actual people? Huh...wasn't aware. I guess that gives it bonus points. Generally speaking though I think I have to be a bit unfair with this film because...I didn't really like it very much, and I don't think it's really the movies fault so much as it is mine. The setting was fine, the random scenes revolving around the paintings coming to life were fine and looked very nice at times. None of that bugged me, rather the emotional core of the film just left me moreso angry than depressed or moved. And I'm pretty sure I feel that way because I literally just yesterday watched another, better film that had a young girl die in it which was bad enough once. Just my luck that I'd pick two films in a row that would go that route. If I had watched this first, or some months later I probably would have been touched. And I mean it definitely was sad, Onao's fate. Doubly so with her repeated insistence that she'd go to hell. That was sad as fuck! And Oei looking up at the stars insisting Onao wouldn't end up there after drawing that beautiful picture of her was definitely moving. Just not enough to switch my overall feeling from pissed off to emotionally sad and moved. And Onao dying felt so obvious that I oh so wanted that reversal of expectations that didn't happen. Which as I just said probably wouldn't have been the case had I not watched this so soon after that other film, which isn't this film's fault. At the same time I can't deny my feelings and I gotta stick with them...so I can only give this a 7 out of 10. I'll just say to finish that the scene of Oei reminiscing while Onao played in the snow was definitely the best in the film, to me at least. Please, please let the next film I watch be more uplifting! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUU8800 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Yuru Camp 4 Rin just can't escape the cute dogs! Not a bad problem to have, plus she looked adorable on the live cam. The girls imagining themselves in their feety sleeping bags walking on the moon was absolutely the highlight of the episode though. Funny how this is the second anime in a row I've watched today where someone was eating borscht though. Death March to the Parallel World Rhapsody 3 Another slower paced episode, yet by the end it felt like it ended too soon and I wanted more at the same time. At least we made it to the event I've been waiting for, the labyrinth. Things should pick up from here, plus it's nice to have Liza, Tama and Pochi along for the ride at last, so adorable! Koi wa Ameagari no You ni 3 I so love overall rainy vibes and atmospheres and here was no different. Made for some beautiful visuals. Poor Akira, reliving her painful injury. Took quite a bit of courage to confess to Kondo like that, but his reactions and concerns are the important and predictable ones. Still, he handled things fairly gracefully until that date slip up at the end. Well let's see how this goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUU8800 Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 (edited) Hakumei to Mikochi 3 Well this episode certainly started with a bang! Seriously though, the girls narrowly escaped death more than once. Especially Hakumei! It was cool to see her at work with Master Iwashi, who I really liked. I find the anthropomorphized animals in this so charming. And I'd say he's stuck out the most among them so far. The Disastrous Life of Saiki K. 2, 2 Holy Back to the Future Saiki! Well at least he got back alright. Damn though, Nendou must take after his dad in being a perv considering that outfit he picked out for Teruhashi. So...should we be happy Saiki prevented us from getting to see her like that? Anyway this episode went by really fast, another sign of how well this series is going, firing on all cylinders! Toji no Miko 4 So is Yukari really just possessed then? I wish the show would stop giving conflicting signals on that. I know Hiyori said someone possessed by an aratama can never be saved but this series is apparently 24 episodes so I'm expecting a twist regarding that at some point. Speaking of the 24 episode length, I wonder how the budget will hold up. The integration of quick, seemingly random scenes of cgi versions of the characters were really awkward in this one. When Kanami and Hiyori got out of the truck and bowed for instance. They really needed to use cg models for that 2 seconds? They're that strapped for cash? Anyway the fight was impossible to take seriously. As I said last week it's so obvious Ellen and Kaoru are gonna be allies it just needs to happen already. Plus all I can think about whenever Ellen's on screen are her massive tits. Edited January 26, 2018 by BUU8800 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PokeNirvash Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Pop Team Epic 4 Evil or Live 2 Another fun episode of the former. As an Initial D fan, I appropriately lost it at the sudden GT-R cameo. Also, the guy in the first Bob Epic Team sketch reminded me of the "Her Lovely Fears" part of Off the Air's Nightmares episode, for some reason. The latter, meanwhile, was once again palatable. Hibiki's first kiss might have tasted like vomit, but at least second base was a wonderful experience for him. And so the wait for the ancient Chinese plot twists continues... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Careful who you tell your mom's pooping problems to Sat-chan! Meanwhile Yui, easily the best member of the Colors, really shone with her dancing during the festival parade. It's unfortunate her star pendant went out but she glows very nicely all by herself, even if no one else can see it.
