Welcome aboard, as you've been here for a while I assume you've already found yourself a cushion or chair to sit on and made yourself at home.

Yes, this is often the case here for blocks of flats where the individual flats don't have any frontage on the public highway.

The garden waste bin is for grass cuttings, weeds, rotten windfall fruit, cuttings from pruning hedges and plants etc, in fact just about anything organic.

The only slight downside of using YouTube for trailers is that it helps to know the name of the anime.

One of the places I worked at had a drinks machine that was rather like the Nutrimatic machine in Douglas Adams HHGTTG, in that it dispensed something that was almost entirely quite unlike tea, fortunately the hot chocolate was quite nice.

Thankfully it's a sunny day here, but still a bit cold. It's trash day here and as I type this I can hear the crashing and banging as the bin-men empty all the boxes. Local councils here in the UK are big on recycling so bin day (as we call it) is quite a performance and everything has to be sorted. Tins, glass and plastic goes in the black box, paper and cardboard in the blue box, food waste goes in the green box (which has a lid to hopefully keep the foxes out). Stuff that can't be recycled goes in a black sack. I've also got a garden waste bin, I have to pay extra for that, and it's not cheap, but it is good value when you consider the hassle of bagging the garden waste and taking it to the local recycling centre, which isn't all that local, and then having to clean the inside of the car because however carefully you bag it some stuff escapes!

A ham sandwich walks into a bar and orders a beer. The bartender says, "Sorry we don’t serve food here."

Indeed it did. Thankfully, these days it's fairly easy to find trailers on YouTube and only a very few are restricted and won't play here in the UK.

Finding trailers was a bit hit and miss, sometimes news & review websites had them, sometimes they didn't and sometimes the trailers were region locked and wouldn't play on a connection from the UK.

I remember the hype when that was released. Reviewers suffered from "Kings new clothes" syndrome when reviewing it, then when people started actually watching they, like you, realised they didn't understand any of it and the series sank without trace after a few months. I never bothered with it, the trailers convinced me not to.

For me the number one front runner for the title of "worst anime I've ever seen" has to be Kokoro Connect. Here we have an alien being who for some unexplained reason is messing with the minds, and bodies, of a group of five high school students. The series runs for 12 episodes and then just ends, the alien just says I'm not going to mess you around any more, good bye. There's no explanation of why it did what it did and gives me the impression that the author came up with what they thought was an interesting plot then realised they didn't have a clue about how to end the story and just put their pen down and walked away, or perhaps the studio just ran out of money to pay the staff and so it was just abandoned and left unfinished. Another contender is Fireworks. A film which has a storyline that I found really confusing and difficult to follow. Near the end the film has a bizarre chase sequence where the person being chased has the ability to jump back in time an hour or so and uses the knowledge of the future he left to avoid being captured. The longer the film went on the less sense the story made.

I participated as well. Up until three months ago everything I watched was on DVD and Blu-ray because my Internet connection wouldn't support streaming, but I'm sure every response to the survey will be valuable.

This evening I started watching Super Cub which is a series about a high school girl who buys herself a, remarkably cheap, second hand Honda Super Cub moped and starts to discover the wider world around her home. From the first few episodes this looks like it's going to be another very laid back and fun series to watch.

Welcome aboard, pull up a cushion, or a chair if sitting on the floor is not your thing, and make yourself at home.

This evening I finished watching Tsuki ga Kirei. Either someone got their wires crossed or I misread the series information, but I was expecting a 25 part series and so I was totally caught out when it ended with episode 12, which was a rather dramatic and emotional ending to a story line that had been building for the previous couple of episodes. So for it to end on such an emotional climax was a shock and left me feeling rather empty and let down. The still scenes under the closing credits went some of the way to give a closure to the story, but I had to go back and watch the end credits again to understand the ending. Don't get me wrong, Tsuki ga Kirei is a beautiful story beautifully and thoughtfully presented and the dialogue, or rather the lack of it because sometimes you don't need words, along with some superb background music that really fits and compliments each scene. Overall I enjoyed watching the series, but that ending really caught me out.

Now that is Really Good News! Thank you. Hopefully, when they say "new anime" they mean a new series carrying on from where the Blu-ray disks that came out a few years ago left off and not a new version restarting from the beginning again.
