Looks like people gave Wizard a below average 2.84 out of 5. No surprise there.
Fourze feelings anyway?
I'm looking forward to this one, since Fourze was a bit divisive, I think

Did you know Rinna's actress had a guest role in Nexus long before she guested on Garo and Drive?

It's spreading! Dunno what Agou's got, but it seems like funky stuff.

So far, 50% of people voted Shou as average. Looking forward to seeing whether the show rises or fall as it progresses.
Poll's up for Makai no Hana. Only 13 people voted on Gold Storm Shou, so let's see if we can get more voting, more discussion for that one.

Let's appreciate the mothers in toku, since they don't appear that often (compared to dads at least). And let's appreciate our own moms too.

Please consider using it! We try to have a good trivia section. The side bar and front page are a good place to start.
If you post on our forums and can't remember a character name. The wiki is linked at the top so you can double check it. The episode article is also linked from each episode thread, so feel free to check it out once you've seen it. That's what I like to do with IMDB after watching a movie. Sometimes there's no trivia at all, but sometimes, there's some great inside stuff. But we can't know it all, so that's why we need people's help.
Some of the info stuff and writing needs editing though. Because of that, we can really use more writers and editors. It's pretty free form. People just work on whatever interests them, whether it be actor info, series info, or whatever. We can probably use more pictures, better style formatting, a review of the episode summaries, etc.
Registered users are preferrable, but not necessary. You can just edit it without registering.
If you have any questions, hit the Discussion tab at the very top and post there. Or you can post to our forum dedicated to editing the wiki:

I wish this were the cover art of my Blu-ray
Another Ghibli movie down the hatch. I liked it a lot. I'm a big fan of these small town stories about a small group of people. It's like Roddenberry's utopia in present times, everyone knows your name, they all work hard, no one is malicious, and the problems are either external or come from people being misguided. Maybe that's why we find Ghilbi works so appealing.
There's nothing I like better than to be sucked into a world and this movie does it. I loved the feeling of being in 60s Japan, hearing Sukiyaki in the background, seeing all the sights of Tokyo, the old town architecture, the encroaching industrialization and smog. The Quartier Latin (for some reason the Japanese switch it around) is wonderful in its early stage. It looks lived in, used, the clutter full of memory and signs of humanity. I almost prefer it to the cleaned up version. And like I said above, there's nothing like a small town setting. I also got stupidly excited when they got out the wooden rice bowl and opened up the floor panels to reveal hidden vegetables.
For a review of the plot and nitpicks on translations, read the thread
