I will when I'm done with YuruYuri!!! I'm on season 2, after that I'm totally watching Kokoro. But yeah, I love it.

 

Where can I buy the entire series of "IGPX" without paying more than $100?

 

I honestly don't know. New copies of the first season alone cost > $100 as far as I've seen.

Maybe from here: http://www.cduniverse.com/productinfo.asp?pid=7228006 You can get the first season used for $39.99

I really doubt you're going to get the entire series in brand new mint condition for less than $400 without.. ahem more unconventional means.

Edit: Here's the complete collection for 150$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/IGPX-Immort...-LE-box-set-OOP-VG-/280757321605?category=617

That's a good price.

 

Thanks Jesse! Much appreciated!

 

Watched Ponyo last night, one of the few Studio Ghibli-era Miyazakis I haven't seen. It was cute, although definitely one of the odder ones.

It was kinda nostalgic though; when I went to Japan (and obviously the last time I was there), Ponyo had just come out. The posters for it were EVERYWHERE.

 

I agree. I've liked Ponyo ever since the U.S. release and it actually held my kid's attention more than Howl's Moving Castle or Spirited Away ever did, so that was nice.

 

Spirited Away is my favorite Miyazaki film of all time. Howl is a close second.

In terms of non-Miyazaki films, have you seen Summer Wars?

 

That's funny, Howl's is my first, Spirited a close second.
And yes. Summer Wars is amazing. It's basically the Digimon movie "Our War Game" done better. Sort of.

 

Yeah, the Digimon movie is pretty nostalgic movie for me, but watching it years later I realized it was shit.

As for Spirited Away, I just think it has an easier story to follow, even if Howl is somewhat more engaging. Plus the scenery is beautiful. Love them Ghibli hills.

 

Urusei Yatsura has stolen my heart. Here's a review: http://hoppedonpop.com/2013/01/31/those-obnoxious-aliens/

Gurren Lagann. This is amazing and hilarious at the same time. Go watch it now.

Actually just found an english dub on youtube, so you ain't gotta download it. This is amazing, give it a chance. The dub is pretty good, better imo.

 

Already seen Gurren Lagann, and yes, it is truly amazing. I also prefer the English dub.

 

Its one of the better dubs. I think the Death Note on looks like a great job so far, read the manga like 6 times over. Never seen the anime, just watched the first episode. Gonna get the series now, it looks great.

 

Just finished the second Urusei Yatsura movie. Man, that was freaky. I can see why Japanese fans hated it, and why others loved it; I'm feeling really mixed about it myself.

 

Death Note's another awesome series. And I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I thought the live-action Death Note movies were great as well.
Haven't heard of Urusei Yatsura, I'll have to look into that some time.

 

I really liked the first Death Note movie, I have only watched a few episodes of the anime but have read the entire manga several times.

Started watching Yuru Yuri. Just finished episode six. Still do not know what to make of it.

 

I didn't know what to make of it for the first few eps either, but once I was in the swing of things I realized I was addicted to the show.

 

I know exactly how you feel. I ended up watching all of it and I still don't know how to feel about the show xD

 

^ Haha.

So I started watching Kokoro Connect, and it's very enjoyable. I tried to get into Tari Tari but it didn't pull me in at all. Maybe I'll try it again after I finish Kokoro.

 

Yeah, Kokoro Connect is great.

Tari Tari isn't everyones cup o' tea. I love it.
