I've sung that book's praises enough times, but I also want to add that it's definitely a book to read twice (and in fairly short order).
The second read through makes significantly more sense, and really highlights the planning that went into creating the story, and her expertise in delivering it.

Looks like this year's Anime Mirai is gonna be good.
For those who haven't seen any of these yet and want to check them out, here are my favorites:
2011 - Ojii-san no Lamp & Tansuwarashi
2012 - Shiranpuri & Wasurenagumo
2013 - Little Witch Academia & Death Billiards
(I'll start tweaking the list and posting other stuff soon. Been a bit busy lately.)

Yep! That's so funny, I actually just bought the Anime Classics set a few weeks ago (with my discount at work, bahaha) but I haven't had enough free time to rewatch it.
lol Is kinda funny since I bought it today myself. I havent seen it in a long while but I remember enjoying it.
I need to rewatch my other classics. xD
I remember watching it when it aired on Fuse.
God that was a long time ago.

Likewise, it was actually the last time (and first) I seen it. Started re-watching it today though, it's a bit more deep than I remember but still been worth the time.
Okay, so, I don't watch Hajime no Ippo, but I just happened across the opening sequence for Rising.

The animation in this is so great. It actually makes me want to watch it (though I probably won't).

Hop to it dude. Space Cowboy randomly recommended it to me, so I decided I'd just watch the first few episodes and hold off on it for a bit.
Three weeks later I was on season 3, over 100 episodes later. Ippo is fucking fantastic. It takes some time to get itself going to get Ippo to learn boxing a bit, but it's easily one of the best fighting series I've ever watched.

So this is part 1 of a documentary chronicling the life of takehiko inoue (creator of slam dunk, vagabond, real, etc) for 1 year. the rest of it is up on the same channel.
watching this is blowing my mind at how much of himself inoue puts into his work. as an artist myself he is a true inspiration. he really does give it all 110% and is always striving to improve his craft and achieve a new level of artistry. i highly recommend watching this even if you aren't a fan because it gives some very good insight into the creative process behind a manga.

okay fine i'll watch ippo god get off my back!!!
In other news, I watched the CGI Captain Harlock movie that aired in theatres last year. You know, it was pretty great. There's no getting away from the camp that Leiji Matsumoto's stories always have, and the pacing was definitely rushed (felt like comic book pacing, tbh), but it's still an enjoyable tale about people fighting fate.
The best part of the movie, of course, was the visuals. Wow. They were mind-blowing. Like, everyone should check this movie out if only to see some damn fine CGI.
I also checked out the Bayonetta movie. As you all can probably guess, the story isn't exactly Oscar-worthy; but I have to say, GONZO really nailed the visuals. It reminded me a lot of Madhouse's DMC anime. Stylish as fuck.

Good work Nyan.
I'll get round to Harlock at some point.
The movie is just called Space Pirate Captain Harlock.
There are no English subtitles yet though. And I had to download a Chinese subtitled release just so that I could turn the subs off and watch it raw, because the other raws I found had Korean subtitles on the video.
