In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I think this one of the absolute greatest scenes in anime.
It basically shows all you need to know, while remaining ambiguous, about Spike's past in just a minute, without words and with beautiful music.
Also the reflection of the blending glass shards and petals falling in what I presume is his fake eye that "only sees the past".

Already planned on watching Kimi no Na wa this weekend. But got to say despite all its great reviews i haven´t been a huge fan of Wolf Children. It was a good/very good anime movie but a bit too slow paced for me. That said i can certainly understand why it is so highly rated.
The last anime movie i thoroughly enjoyed was Bakemono no Ko (The Boy and the Beast).
I didn't like Princess Kaguya or Wolf Children. Maybe I need to give Wolf Children another go.
To be fair, I first watched Wolf Children with my dad while visiting home after almost 3 years, so there you go. Maybe Hana's POV in the story resonated with me because of that particular familial state of mind. As for the slow burner narration, that's a recurring theme with the slice of life genre - and not everyone's a fan of the pacing, which is fair enough - the plot is rather simplistic too: based in a countryscape, with only 3 major characters and their interpersonal relationships, and focused on more trivial things - if you're emotionally detached from those 3 characters, then it offers next to nothing, really. To appreciate the genre and the movie, you need to immerse yourself in the experience rather than the storyline, which can get a little overbearing, I guess. For me, personally, it was one of the most touching anime movies of the current decade with maybe Garden of Words (another Shinkai film if you wanna watch more of his work apart from Kimi no No wa, 5 cm per second and Hoshi o Ou Kodomo).
Even the soundtrack is so whimsical and captivating:

Premise of body switch looks crap and unoriginal.
I've seen a few of Shinkai's films, they've all been lush and pretty but ultimately flattered to deceive in the end.
The soundtrack on Cowboy Bebop is mind blowing. Wow, just wow!
I'm rewatching Code Geass because it's on Netflix (first season only though) and noticed on the wikipedia page that there's a brand new Code Geass anime that was broadcast this year with some of these characters - has anyone seen it?
Finished FMA: Brotherhood. The ending was definitely better than in the original anime (and actually made some sense), but as a total package, I preferred the first anime.
Still, both were quite good.

It's quite sublime. Yoko Kanno's soundtracks are always great.
Anyone seen Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt? This song is making me want to watch it.
Yeah, I actually watched that a couple of times during that episode. A moment so artistic beyond fault.
Just past halfway through the Dressrosa arc in One Piece, best arc in a while.
Seen about 190 subbed eps now and it's great, still think the dub is better though.

Speaking of One Piece, just caught up with the manga, and...
Sanji vs Ruffy?! 
Watching Full Metal Alchemist now and will get onto Brotherhood after. it has really creeped me out and saddened me at some points. to sure how we handle spoilers in here.
When Nina was transmuted into a chimera by her father that creeped me the hell out. Maes Hughes death was so sad. When Lust died that got to me too. Tucker's upside down face on a bear gives me the chills.
Welp...Nina and Alexander's transmutation was painful to watch, especially the part when Ed turns around and asks 'where's Nina?', oh and - 'why does it hurt, big brother?' - ugh! gut wrenching.
Scar's deconstruction of the chimera was almost as bad, but atleast he put them out of their misery. Fecking Tucker!

I've just started Brotherhood so that's different from what I've seen. Tucker deserved that.
Thoughts on the Death Note film coming out next year
Does anyone know where I can get Moero! Top Striker with English audio or subtitle?
It'll probably be pants, but Darius off Atlanta as L should be interesting.
I'm scared. That show was just perfect and hard to replicate or improve.
Darn, I'm up to date on all the ongoing animes I watch.
How is One Piece the tv show?
Put it this way, stop contemplating in the Sea of Tranquility and go watch it this instant.
It's amazing.
Took me 3 or 4 attempts to get into it, but once I did get into it it was fecking amazing, and it just kept getting better for ages, with the odd boring slow arc now and then.
OreGairu
I see, you're in a similar boat. I'll watch it if you watch Pīchi Gāru
Assuming you mean Peach Girl... 7.2 on myanimelist? Bro, I need convincing
OreGairu? Assuming you mean My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected ? ... 8.12 on myanimelist? Bro, I need convincing too. You weren't serious with the anime suggestion were you?
Mate, I am absolutely serious. It's so good. 8.12 is a respectable rating.
It starts off decent and it gets better and better until a it reaches a peak where after the quality starts dipping and they start dragging out the episodes so they don't catch up to the manga. I'd also advise not watching most of the filler, though some of them are actually really good (the G8 arc especially, it was so good that I didn't realise it was filler).
As of right now it's completely unwatchable for me, which is a shame because it's such a great manga. I'd advise watching it up to after the Enies Lobby arc or maybe after Thriller Bark, then just reading the manga and watching clips of the best scenes from then on. It got so bad that I quit One Piece for like a year until I discovered manga.
Couldn't disagree more, the Dressrosa arc was brilliant (albeit a bit long). From all the hate I've heard about it post-youknowwhat I was expecting it to be crap, but I'm enjoying it as much as ever.
Hope y'all on the Haikyuu train. The first show I think that barely edges past Hajime no Ippo for me. Season 3 of Haikyuu is incredible
I just can't stand how slow it is these days. Each episode wastes like 5+ minutes with the opening, that weird intro thing and a previous episode recap. Yes I can skip that all, but the rest of the episode still goes at a snails pace. I started reading the manga since Dressrosa started and I enjoyed it so much more, I don't think the anime does a lot of the amazing moments in that arc any justice.
No man. Hajime no Ippo is the ultimate sports anime, and nothing will ever convince me otherwise.Hope y'all on the Haikyuu train. The first show I think that barely edges past Hajime no Ippo for me. Season 3 of Haikyuu is incredible
Yeah it's definitely slowed down a lot, but I still enjoyed it right the way through, just a personal thing i guess. I do agree though it could have been done way quicker, I mean like 128 episodes for one arc ffs, that's 2 years of episodes on ONE arc. But yeah, I just feel like the anime as of late gets a lot of undeserved hate.
Ah, had a quick look at it on Google/Youtube and assumed I was missing some white text. Never mind, I just remembered I recently read the first two chapters of a new manga, The Promised Neverland. So, I'll be reading for the time being.
Anybody else read The Promised Neverland?
It's great! (OreGairu that is)The fact that Dragonball Evolution exists soley prevents it from being the worst Anime film ever - so it has that going for it.
Honestly though, I'm not looking forward to it at all. It looks so...Americanized
