I have just watched Royal Space Force: The Wings of Honnêamise, a Gainax movie from 1987. I wouldn't say I am fond of the story, but it looks so good especially characters.

Grop

I saw this movie lately (for free, in a plane). It was very good. I would only complain that the humor lacks subtlty, for instance the funny grandma in the beginning is a stereotype of all cool American movie grandmas. (Also she doesn't feel like a Japanese character). (I have nothing bad to say abo...

That sounds much more reasonable.

These 70+ pounds are quite similar to the cost of renewing m'y French passport (86€).

Isn't dark blue the color of Scotland ? Will the UK pick a new color if Scotland leaves ?

I am not so sure about the intent of the dead people who ruled France in the seventies, but I am pretty sure our policy has been to assimilate/integrate the people from Marocco, Algeria and Tunisia for quite a while (as opposed to trying to have them leave).

Except when improperly discarded on the ground, I suppose.

Turkey calling any other country a nazi remnant should belong in the humorous news thread.

Demi-chan looks decent, but I am already reading the manga. It's funny how the author can't draw a nose.

Taiga Fujimura 2 : Who the hell is a teacher at 25? You haven't watched GTO have you? (Also I think I have met teachers as young as that). I am watching Kobayashi-san Chi no Maid Dragon ; nothing special but I like it. It is cute and funny. (I am a bit sad to say that this is almost my favorite 201...

Is there a name for the thing French speakers do with the tense high vowel at the end of words in English? (I mean the vowel at the end of "happy", which is /i:/ in my dialect where happy-tensing is in full effect). It's a weird kind of...aspiration-y type thing? Almost as though they add...

Well the main series would be the Fate/stay night series from 2006 and Fate/Zero. Fate/Zero is a sequel prequel to F/SN and is generally agreed to be much better. F/SN(UBW) is a sort of F/SN reboot: it takes place at the same moment and with the same characters. I think it is better. F/SN (2006) was...

These days I am watching The Irresponsible Captain Tylor (1993) because I didn't do that before; it is surprisingly good. Quite fun and decently pretty for that time. Some of the jokes actually feel clever. http://ipic.su/img/img7/fs/when_you_join_the_military.1486942747.jpg I don't mean this on...

Incidently, Alle in the ethymology of Allemagne seems to mean "all" as well.

I didn't notice it, but it seems good indeed.

I almost missed 3-gatsu no Lion (aka March Comes in like a Lion). Anyone watching this show? It's produced by Shaft and is quite nice I think (only seen 6 episodes so far).

Apart from that, this season was quite disappointing, and I mostly watched sequels.

He didn't speak to the why of celibacy. His claim was that church members of superior intelligence fell out of the gene pool by not reproducing. Which is a reach given that avowing celibacy and actually being celibate are two different things. On the other hand, church members of inferior intellige...

I couldn't think of any in the few seconds before going there, but tvtropes has a few suggestions for Trapped in Another World . None (or very few) of the books listed in litterature seems to involve reincarnation however. Now I think of it, I liked Planet of Adventure (Jack Vance) which they didn't...

I will check those out, thanks! I think I'd read that about Miyazaki. Can something be a Japanese cartoon without bring anime? Not really. The Japanese word for animated cartoons is anime. I would even say that cartoon is how we call American animation :p. Because anime makes much more sense as a w...

Between the Buried and Me is a nice progressive metal group, I think (I would classify them in hardcore metal though, unlike Tool for instance). Two titles I like are Sun of Nothing and Extremophile Elite

Do you mean that as a sort of reason for the movie being so bad?

I would expect the British police to worry about that, not the French one.

Is Mob Psycho 100 already over? I expected it would go further, especially as some of what can be seen in the opening happens later.

(I also say the two meanings of plus are disambigated by prununciation; but that is an faq in most sites about French). One of my favorites is transparence.

IMO, the "Country Roads" song is an American classic. It was just super-weird hearing it in Japanese (plus the lyrics were crossed, since the female lead changed the words to "Concrete Roads", because she never left the city) It was, of course, not weird to me as I didn't know t...

I just watched Whisper of the Heart; then I looked up that country roads song.

Very nice movie; however it is about teenagers, but I don't know if many teenagers would enjoy it.

There was a series of clown attacks in France in 2014. But I think that was mentioned before.

Things are never easy in Mob Psycho 100. This is quite unlike One Punch Man in that regard.

One could say Subaru becomes more or less dumb as it serves the story; however this show wasn't too bad.

But then what is an evolution professor?
