I saw Yamada at a grocery store in Tokyo when I was teaching English there. I told her how cool it was to meet her in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother her and ask her for photos or anything.
She said, “Ah. You are Mother Fucker?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Nani?” but she kept cutting me off and going “Nani? Nani? Nani?” and closing her hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard her chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw her trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Pockys in her hands without paying.
The boy at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Madam, you need to pay for those first.” At first she kept pretending to be tired and not hear him, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When he took one of the Pockys and started scanning it multiple times, she stopped her and told him to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After he scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, she kept interrupting him by yawning really loudly.

>>161533412
this is like the worst kind of melodrama taste one can have, just add shinkai for the trifecta

>>161533828
Yamada used to be above melodrama garbage. Going from K-On to Koe no Katachi is totally backwards, it's a shame

>>161533978
Eh, it's more realistic and a huge step up from 'Ritsu becomes bedridden because of a spat with Mio'

Yamamoto is an interesting director. I thought she had talent but doesn't have what it takes to be successful in the late night anime industry.
She feels too Hollywood, funnily enough I am pretty sure that her success YOI isn't really the type of show she wants to direct.

this one is the director of one of the best animated movies that came from Japan in 2000-s

not fan of Ikuhara's post modern left wing BS. Though I'd watch Penguindrum

>>161543688
Tekkonkinkreet was pretty good, but I think that's mostly because Taiyo Matsumoto is an absolute genius already.

>>161543726
what really bother me is the fact that it was probably the most on-point use of 3d in anime, and nobody after came even close to it

>Nasu: To me, Kawakami-san is Utena. Before I knew much about voice actors, I worked with her just once. What I’m most grateful to Kawakami-san’s associates for is the “Utena” DVD box set and Blu-Ray box set booklets. In the DVD box set there’s a comment from Kawakami-san, and in the Blu-Ray box set there’s a comment from Kawakami-san’s mother. It’s true that we can’t meet Kawakami-san again or hear her voice, but there are still things she left behind both in concrete form and in the hearts of her fans. It really hit me that that’s what it means to create something. A creator’s work is their child. The “Utena” box sets made me realize that as long as people love your child, there’s meaning to what you’re doing.

Six years have gone by, and her death still stings like a bitch.
