Ok so im usually into action anime but for some reason i started watching really sad series and so i just wanna ask you guys this question.....
What is the Most Emotional Anime You've ever seen?
For me its Clannad After story.. Ive watch a lot of anime with sad scenes in it but this series accually made me cry..
Umm the only anime that I've watched that made me shed a single tear was Kannazuki no Miko. About half way in the story there was the saddest scene i'd ever seen so far.
Woot first reply <3 never seen Clannad or Clanna After Story btw
I haven't seen any of the shows you mentioned by now.. But they seem interesting I gotta say, the saddest animes I've watched were Vampire Knight; Toradora! [ well.. at the end, yes, it is sad.. ] and Jigoku Shoujo [ Hell Girl ]
Jack Riot
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. One of the saddest anime out there. It's better than anything Clannad. And it's actually got a good life lesson at the end. It's easy to empathize with the characters and to feel what they feel.
We are just 'one' within the 'all.' But only when those 'ones' gather together can 'all' exist. - Edward Elric.
Grave of the Fireflies was pretty sad in my opinion. It's the only anime that has managed to make me cry every time I see it.
Thanks StrawHat
Based on crying, Cowboy Bebop made me cry at the end, though that's more action packed for the majority.
Welcome to the NHK! might work for you. It's fairly comedic for the most part, but it gets serious in the last half.
FMA Brotherhood has it's sad moments and moments that make you think hard about things, enough to bring a tear to the eye.
Why do I call the name of my move before I fire, because you should know what you're about to be destroyed by
the most emotional anime that i have ever seen was romeoxjuliet of course, a classic can really make you cry
Cherry blossoms are more beautiful when the blood of the dead stains them from the graves below
Koi Kaze was real emotional for me.
It didn't make me cry, but it really pulled at my heart strings.
Osr !
I cried , felt sad in it ! '' molly the hero was an orphan with a cruel father''
Code Geass R2. Hands down. I gave myself a ***** of a migraine when I finished it because I was crying so hard. Don't get me wrong; the ending was really great, but it made me feel like I had been soccer-punched, mugged, and then forced to watch the muggers kill my family and say it was for the good of humanity. For months afterward, if anyone even mentioned R2, I would tear up.
Definietly ~Grave of the Fireflies~ that makes me cry everytime I see it. No matter what I know about the movie it sitll makes me cry................a lot!!!
other animes that made me cry.....
Cowboy Bebop
There was the section of Chobits where I felt bad. Basically when Chi started reading that book series, it made me feel bad for her because she felt so alone.
...Welcome to the nightmare in my head...
There are a lot.... but the ones that come to mind right now are Elfen Lied, Fma, and Code Geass.
The most emotional anime I've seen is a tie between Nana and Honey and Clover. Both shows made me sob constantly throughout them.
Haha, yes I'm talking to you.
I think clannad/after story. I cried my eyes out, it's the best story I've seen.
grave of the fireflies was sad, anything about kids and sadness just hits pretty hard for most people i think.
i got bored of honey and clover around 1/2 way though and ended up dropping it.
Clannad after story gets a ton of flak around the web, but i love it, and it definitely takes the cake for being the saddest thing ive ever seen. whether it be live action or anime. just when you start to get a pickup, that show will kick you back down again and its so ridiculously sad. Thank Jebus is all comes together.. sort of

Author Neil Gaiman had a huge amount of respect for how his friend, the late Terry Pratchett responded to a diagnosis with early onset rear brain alzheimer's in 2007.
In a recent discussion about Pratchett with author Michael Chabon, Gaiman said: "He did something huge and noble, which was after his diagnosis, he went public and he went loud. He risked being trivialized."
Here is an excerpt from the discussion:
Terry was someone who fought for years to get people to understand that funny and serious are not opposites. The opposite of funny is not funny. You can absolutely be funny and serious at the same time and Terry was.
So here is somebody who has fought to be taken seriously and to make people realize that you can write a serious novel set in a fantasy context on the back of elephants on the back a giant turtle floating through space and it can still be a real novel and he's got there. He's won the Carnegie Medal. He's got serious critical attention and now he risks losing it, but he did. He announced it to the world and he used it to an opportunity to start the dialog.

Originally written on WZR Online | Last updated 11/20/14
– As seen on RAW this week, there were major problems with the WWE App. WWE had been asking fans to vote for CM Punk's opponent later in the night when the mobile app crashed as a "record number of fans" went to vote. The company came back from commercial break and Michael Cole and Jerry Lawler directed fans to use WWE.com to continue the voting. Chris Jericho wound up winning the vote and faced CM Punk later in the night. I'm guessing Vince McMahon was not a happy camper backstage at RAW when this went down. – As most of you saw on WWE RAW this week, there were several "WZR Army" (WZROnline.com) signs that were visible during this week's show from Atlanta, GA. If you're interested, you can click here to view some screenshots of the signs. A huge THANK YOU goes out to Blake Thomason and Mike Mrnodaysoff Olson for bringing the signs! That was quite the surprise and was much appreciated. Thanks again fellas!

Pabst gives marketing campaign a blue ribbon for effectiveness
- Dan Eaton
- Business First
Columbus is an established test market for consumer product companies, and one of them sees the city as a proving ground for a new marketing campaign.
Pabst Brewing Co. has been testing a campaign in Columbus and Nashville, Tenn., for the past six months, centered on consumer-designed art of its flagship Pabst Blue Ribbon beer on newspaper vending boxes and downtown building walls.
The results have been encouraging enough that the company will expand the program to 10 cities in 2008.
"Trending into the test, Columbus' sales were growing by 5 percent or less," said Bryan Clarke, Pabst Blue Ribbon senior brand manager.
Since the murals went up, local bar sales are up 15 percent to 20 percent, he said.
Woodridge, Ill.-based Pabst was drawn to Columbus and Nashville by the cities' demographic mix.
"We were looking for cities with a little bit of an edge," Clarke said. "Columbus had all that. It is big in some ways and small in others."
Marketing sans marketing
The company doesn't market Pabst Blue Ribbon directly against the beers promoted by brewing powers Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc. and Miller Brewing Co., said Clarke. Rather than sports taverns and nightclubs, Pabst embraces dive bars, punk rock clubs and independent restaurants.
The majority of the top 25 Columbus bars and restaurants for Pabst Blue Ribbon sales operate along High Street, from the Brewery District and through the Short North, Ohio State University campus and Clintonville.
The centerpieces of the Columbus and Nashville campaigns are large, customer-conceived downtown wall murals honoring Pabst Blue Ribbon. The company also affixed artwork on newspaper boxes in the downtown area and on bar coasters.
All it did to promote the campaign was put postcards touting the contest in Pabst Blue Ribbon-solid bars. The company received more than 100 submissions.
"Would anyone be as passionate about Milwaukee's Best?" Clarke said of another Pabst Brewing brand. "Probably not."
"Pabst operates under the radar," said Eric Shepard, executive editor of Beer Marketer's Insights, a trade publication. "They have an anti-marketing stance ... Now they're figuring out how to market without marketing, how to appeal to more drinkers without turning them off."
Brand appeal
Clarke said Pabst was one of the top four U.S. beer brands until the mid-1960s, when a sales slide started and continued into the early 2000s.
"We were at the life support stage," he said.
But, the company has more than doubled PBR production the past eight years.
It was in Portland, Ore., where the beer began experiencing a rebirth in 2001.
"It was perceived as being retro and anti-corporate," Clarke said. "It started growing on its own, without any support from us."
The turnabout caught the industry's eye.
"Generally, once you're in a decline it is impossible to reverse it," Shepard said, citing Miller High Life as another struggling brand in the midst of a resurgence. But High Life, he said, was repositioned as a lower price beer to make its comeback happen.
Lacking the marketing dollars to compete with the bigger brewers, Pabst studied its success in Portland, sponsoring events such as art shows, snowboarding contests and concerts that appealed to its target consumer. Shepard said the company also is an underwriter for the National Public Radio program "All Things Considered."
When the resurgence came, growth was in the double-digits, Clarke said. In each of the past three years, sales have grown by an average of 3 percent to 5 percent.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Meet Malaysia's first female mixed martial artist
23 Sep 2012 23:08 GMT | Africa, US & Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya
The Libyan army says it has raided several militia outposts operating outside government control in the capital, Tripoli, while in the east, the militia suspected in the September 11 attack on the US consulate has said that it has disbanded on orders of the country's president.
President Mohammed el-Megarief said late on Saturday all of the country's militias must come under government authority or disband, a move that appeared aimed at harnessing popular anger against the powerful armed groups following the attack that killed the US ambassador.
On Sunday, security forces raided a number of sites in the capital, including a military outpost on the main airport road, which were being used as bases by disparate militias since Muammar Gaddafi was driven from the capital around a year ago, according to military spokesman Ali al-Shakhli.
Tripoli resident Abdel-Salam Sikayer said he believes the government is able to make this push now because it has the mandate of the people. The new government was elected in the country's first free polls for decades, which took place in July.
"There was no trust before the election of the National Congress that is backed by the legitimacy of the people and which chose the country's leader. There is a feeling that the national army will really be built," he said.
The government faces a number of obstacles, though. It needs the most powerful militias on its side to help disband the rest. It also relies on militias for protection of vital institutions and has used them to secure the borders, airports, hospitals and even July's election.
Steps taken
Some of the militias have taken steps over the past several weeks to consolidate and work as contracted government security forces that are paid monthly salaries.
In the western city of Misrata, for example, resident Walid Khashif said dozens of militias held a meeting recently and decided to work under the government's authority. He said the militias also handed over three main prisons in the city to the Ministry of Justice to run.
The authorities also decided to put in place an "operations room" in Benghazi, bringing together the army, forces of the interior ministry and defence ministry brigades comprising former rebels.
They have called on the army to impose its authority by putting its own officers at the head of brigades born out of the 2011 revolt, which escalated into civil war and toppled Gaddafi's government.
The announcement of the ban came hours after two armed groups said they would lay down their weapons and leave their bases in the eastern city of Derna.
Derna residents say five military camps are now empty, after Abu Slim and Ansar al-Sharia, the two main militias in the area, withdrew.
"Abu Slim had three camps and Ansar al-Sharia had two. So it's five. Empty. All empty," Siraj Shennib, a 29-year-old linguistics professor who has been part of protests against the militias, told the Reuters news agency by telephone.
The Abu Slim and Ansar al-Sharia decisions were said to have been motivated by events in Benghazi on Friday.
"The militia in Derna saw what happened last night and they decided: we will not kill our brothers. So they disbanded. They said they no longer exist as militias in Derna. They will go home and leave security to the interior ministry and army," Shennib said of Friday's mass demonstrations that saw Ansar al-Sharia withdraw from all its bases in Benghazi.
Shennib said anti-militia protesters had been maintaining a vigil against the groups in Derna for 10 days, and the protests became much larger after a carjacking three days ago.
"The national congress understands that the task to abolish or dissolve the illegal and illegitimate militia groups outside the legitimacy of the state will be easy task for them because public opion and people in Benghazi insist on that," Fathi Baja, a former National Transitional Council member from Benghazi, told Al Jazeera.
Omar Turbi, a California-based analyst, told Al Jazeera that the recent demonstrations "were a clear indication that the majority of the Libyan people are not in favour of extremism".
Residents blame the militia for creating a climate of insecurity.
'We've had enough'
Ansar al-Sharia has been linked to the attack on the US consulate in Benghazi last week in which Christopher Stevens, the US ambassador to Libya, and three other Americans died amid demonstrations over a YouTube video deemed insulting to Prophet Muhammad.
Live Box 201291411393377356
The group denies any involvement in the killing of the US officials.
"The people started coming because it has reached the limit. They are saying: we've had enough," Shennib said. "It was a very peaceful operation. We are happy and we appreciate the effort the militias have done to save people from conflict."
Turbi, speaking to Al Jazeera from Irvine, said the demonstrations against the brigades had "helped Libya's image in the West, particularly in the United States".

Unexpected help!
I have a large patch of naturalized daffodils. There is a lot of clover growing between the daffs, too much to weed by hand on your knees and I don't like to use a hoe because I am afraid to hurt bulbs, consequently it always looks bad until the folliage has browned somewhere in June/July and I can use the lawnmower.
Right now I have an old friend out there, taking care of the clover. The woodchuck is back and munching away.
Glad the chuck is helping you. Yesterday I went out to the front porch to water the peas I had planted in some pots on the porch. I startled a squirrel who was busy digging them out. He got all but one. I was getting ready to plant some more but didn't see the pack of seeds. Ah well, must have taken it inside after all. Nope, the little rascal had already taken the whole pack off for his enjoyment. Looks like I'll have to put some hardware cloth or something to cover the pots.
Stopped for a breakfast sandwich at a local Carl's because I had two fer coupon the other day. There is a vacant field about two acres next to it and there were squirrels and rabbits every five feet with holes that they were going in and out of. Must have been many hundreds and in a populated area but close to undeveloped canyons and hills. I was wondering if I would have a National Geographic moment if a Red tail came by for breakfast too. Have no idea what they were living on besides weeds, but it did not look mowed just chewed down.
There is a manmade park by the bay around here. There are manmade lakes, gravel and asphalt paths, and a couple of restaurants. There are people everywhere.
Yet, there are big ole hares (not bunnies) and ground squirrels everywhere. Somehow, we all seem to enjoy the place.
I know that the burrowing owl was being impacted by all the manmade stuff, so the park decided to build a manmade home for the owls and that has been a great success.

Original Heroes Star Masi Oka Returning For NBC's Heroes Reborn
27 March 2015 1:10 PM, PDT
As casting has been coming out lately for NBC's event series Heroes Reborn, a continuation of the original Heroes, the show about super-powered individuals, fans of the series will be happy to hear this week's big news. It was just announced that Masi Oka is reprising his role as Hiro Nakamura in Reborn, which has a 13-episode order set to air this fall. According to reports, he is currently set to be in a multi-episode guest-starring arc, and he will join former original cast member Jack Coleman, who plays Noah Bennett, father of Claire Bennett (Nashville's Hayden Panettiere). "I'm excited to return to my Heroes roots," Oka said in a statement. "Hiro Nakamura was such an inspirational role to play, and I'm hoping the fans will enjoy seeing him back on TV." "The character of Hiro Nakamura was such a huge part of the first series' success, »

The Walking Dead Companion Series Title Revealed
27 March 2015 12:07 PM, PDT
The Walking Dead companion series is no longer nameless, as it its official title was revealed on Twitter by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman today. And while the companion series' title is not all that different from the original show's, it certainly make its intentions known: it wants you to be afraid, which is why the new AMC series will be called Fear The Walking Dead. Fear The Walking Dead, which was given a two-season order from AMC earlier month, will take places in Los Angeles and serve as a prequel to the original Walking Dead series. The show stars Cliff Curtis (Gang Related), Kim Dickens (Deadwood), Frank Dillane (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince) and Alycia Debnam-Carey (Lexa from The CW's The 100). "We feel empowered by this two-season commitment, a serious show of faith from our network partner AMC," Kirkman said when the companion series was ordered. »

The Mentalist's Owain Yeoman to Play First Supergirl Villain
27 March 2015 10:36 AM, PDT
Get ready to meet the first foe to go up against Kara in CBS' Supergirl. The Mentalist's Owain Yeoman, who played Wayne Rigsby for years on the CBS series, will be taking on the role of the DC Comics character Vartox in Supergirl's pilot. In the comics, Vartox is originally an alien super-hero from the planet Valeron, who has similar powers to Superman and is a friend and ally to the Man of Steel. In addition to his Superman-like powers, Vartox can also convert himself into energy and control things with his mind. However, per TVLine, Supergirl's take on Vartox will be bit different. In the show's pilot, Vartox is an "alien convict who has been hiding on Earth for 12 years. After Supergirl's emergence as a public hero, he seeks her out to ascertain her identity and do battle with her." Supergirl stars Glee's Melissa Benoist as Kara, »

The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus Reportedly Selling His Atlanta-Area Home: What Does This Mean for Daryl?
27 March 2015 9:55 AM, PDT
According to a local real estate website, Curbed Atlanta, The Walking Dead's Norman Reedus may be selling his Atlanta-area home, and it's making some fans worried about the fate of Reedus's beloved character, Daryl Dixon, on the hit AMC series. The fact that Reedus appears to be moving from the Atlanta area, along with reports that he'll be The Walking Dead cast member featured on Sunday's Talking Dead, has many people wondering if Daryl will be the latest character to die in the show's Season 5 finale. However, one rumor, also discussed in the Curbed Atlanta article, disputes that theory, as it is believed that Reedus is selling his current home to move somewhere more remote, a place that he can have a bit more privacy, but one that's still in the general area around Atlanta. Another piece of information that supports this idea »

New Reign Photos: Mary, Catherine, and Bash Worry for Francis's Life
27 March 2015 9:03 AM, PDT
Last week's episode of Reign (the show's last episode before it, along with The Vampire Diaries, went on yet another mini-hiatus—both shows will be back in three weeks) delivered some shocking twists, but none of them were as major as the turn that Francis took, as the king, who had been looking ill throughout the hour, collapsed and was last seen with blood pouring out of his ear, a clear image from Nostradamus's prophecy. With Francis looking so deathly and defeated at the end of the episode (not to mention what historically happened to the real version of him), Reign fans must be wondering whether or not this will be the end for the young king, or if he somehow might recover. And perhaps just as interesting as the actual fate of Francis is how those around him will respond to it, particularly Mary, Catherine, and Bash, »

Want a Beautiful Picture On Your Phone? Try The Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge
27 March 2015 8:27 AM, PDT
So when we're talking the future in television we know we're talking about the internet right? But we also know we're talking about using our phones since they too are going to be our primary connections to the internet. Obviously the technology exists and people are constantly watching media on their phones. However, phones aren't quite up to par with the pictures of televisions yet. Well, that's until now. The new Samsung Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge allow the user to experience vivid colors and dramatic contrast. These phones have what may be considered the brightest, most vibrant screen on any smartphone out there today. You may never go back to television after using one of these phones.

New Vampire Diaries Photos: Could Damon and Elena Be Headed Towards Another Break-Up?
27 March 2015 8:20 AM, PDT
It's been a pretty difficult year for Damon and Elena on The Vampire Diaries. Not only was Damon dead at the start of Season 6, but before he eventually returned from the prison world, where both he and Bonnie were trapped, Elena couldn't deal with the pain of his loss and decided to compel all her memories of him away, forcing the two of them to have to essentially start their relationship over again. And while things have been pretty good for the couple since they've gotten back together, these photos from the next all-new episode of The Vampire Diaries, titled "I Could Never Love You Like That," don't paint the happiest of pictures, as both Damon and Elena appear to be upset about something, and I'm guessing that something isn't just Stefan and Caroline being rippers together. Instead, it looks like the cure, which made its oh-so grand reappearance… »

The Television Career of Kyle Chandler
27 March 2015 6:22 AM, PDT
If you are missing the TV cast that made up the drama Friday Night Lights, you may have been a little less sad at the end of last week. On March 20, Netflix began streaming its newest series, Bloodline, which stars Kyle Chandler as the lead character. Chandler spent five seasons playing everyone's favorite football coach, Eric Taylor, on Friday Night Lights and will now be playing John Rayburn on the mysterious Netflix drama, which is about a group of adult siblings whose secrets from their childhood are exposed when one of the brothers returns. All 13 episodes from the first season have been released, so you can binge-watch this series the same way you do with other popular Netflix shows like House of Cards and Orange is the New Black. Kyle Chandler has been starring on television for over twenty five years. Here is a look back of some of those popular roles. »

AMC Sets Halt and Catch Fire Season 2 Premiere Date
26 March 2015 2:10 PM, PDT
AMC will soon be catching fire again. The network announced today that its tech drama, Halt and Catch Fire, will return for its second season on Sunday, May 31, at 10 p.m. Season 2 of the series, which stars Lee Pace (Pushing Daisies) as Joe MacMillan, a pioneer in the personal computer revolution of the 1980s, will begin in early 1985, just as the Internet is beginning to take shape. "To our passionate core audience and the critics who loved the show through Season 1 — we thank you sincerely for your support. Season 2 won't disappoint," showrunner Jonathan Lisco said in a statement. "We're going to drill down even deeper into these characters we've created, to give you all the emotional and psychological depth you've come to expect from Halt and Catch Fire, while at the same time evolving the show to be brasher and even more addictive."

What Have Been Your Favorite New TV Shows of 2015 So Far?
26 March 2015 12:24 PM, PDT
2015 has already seen the end of many long-running series, including Parenthood, Parks and Recreation, and Glee, and in a matter of weeks, Justified and Mad Men will also be joining that list of concluded shows (and that's all within the first six months of this year!). Yet while myself (and probably others) have looked at 2015 as merely a year in which many great (or, if not great, at least impactful) series are ending, it's also been a terrific year for new shows, even within these first three months. Since January, 2015 has gifted us with so many quality programs, some big and some small, that it's nearly impossible to choose a favorite, especially because there's so much variety. A little over a week ago, The CW premiered its newest series, iZombie, which I've been fortunate enough to review for TVOvermind, and in my write-up of the show's second episode, »

Taraji P. Henson and Michael Keaton to Host Saturday Night Live in April
26 March 2015 10:32 AM, PDT
Things will be getting pretty sweet (and also sassy, of course) on Saturday Night Live when Cookie herself, Taraji P. Henson, stops by next month. The Empire actress will make her SNL hosting debut in April, but not before Birdman's Michael Keaton takes over first. As Saturday Night Live begins its April run, Keaton will host the show's April 4 episode, with musical guest Carly Rae Jepsen, who will be performing for the first time ever on SNL. Then, the following Saturday, on April 11, Henson will get her opportunity to take the reins of Saturday Night Live for her first time, and she will be joined by Mumford & Sons as the night's musical guest. The fact that Henson has already been tapped as a host for Saturday Night Live is yet another sign of Empire's pop culture dominance (you know, if the record-breaking ratings weren't already »

History Channel Renews Vikings for Season 4
26 March 2015 9:57 AM, PDT
Looks like Ragnar and Lagertha will continue to conquer History for another year. The cable network's Evp and general manager, Drik Hoogstra, announced today that Vikings has been renewed for a fourth season. "Vikings has raided the hearts of both audiences and critics, establishing itself as one of the most compelling, visually stunning dramas on television," Hoogstra said in a statement.

Downton Abbey fans will soon be saying goodbye to the Crawley family and the rest of the show's many characters, as it was officially announced today, after months of speculation, that Season 6 of the period drama will be its last. "Millions of people around the world have followed the journey of the Crawley family and those who serve them for the last five years," said executive producer Gareth Neame. "Inevitably there comes a time when all shows should end and Downton is no exception. We wanted to close the doors of Downton Abbey when it felt right and natural for the storylines to come together and when the show was still being enjoyed so much by its fans. We can promise a final season full of all the usual drama and intrigue, but with the added excitement of discovering how and where they all end up…" "The Downton…

The Best and Worst Songs From Nashville: On the Record 2
26 March 2015 6:30 AM, PDT
Oh how I wish I could have been at this concert! Last night's Nashville was not a new episode, but rather a tribute to the music that keeps this country sudser a cut above others. After all, what is Nashville without the music? Okay, it's pretty good, but the music just makes it better and is good all on its own, too. So let's review tonight's concert, and discuss what has happened in Season 3 so far, as well as what lies ahead. "Borrow My Heart"- Jonathan Jackson, Sam Palladio and Clare Bowen This is the true trio of Nashville. The decision to actually make them a trio on the show was long overdue, and this upbeat song was perfect for them. Plus, since Scarlett has long been (too long!) a very weepy character, it is wonderful to see her portrayer Clare Bowen freely dancing about on stage. »

The Best and Worst of Ross' Girlfriends on 'Friends'
26 March 2015 5:53 AM, PDT
Spring is finally here and that means for people like myself living in the northwestern region of the United States, that the snow is finally starting to melt. For Friends fans it does not matter, as we are still watching the classic sitcom that was released on Netflix earlier this year and will not be setting foot outside until we have watched the series finale. Last week, we at TVOvermind took a walk down memory lane and ranked all of Rachel Green's boyfriends on Friends. If you did not get a chance to read the article, you can check it out by clicking here. Ross Geller was the boyfriend that topped Rachel's list, but where does Rachel Green rank on the paleontologist's list? Here is a ranking all the women from Ross' life, which includes a girl with a dirty apartment, the hot copy girl, and all »

Making the Case for Renewal: The Mindy Project
25 March 2015 11:46 AM, PDT
The Mindy Project capped off its very strong third season last night with a fantastic finale (check out my colleague Jen's review of the episode right here) that, once again, illustrated how much Danny and Mindy love each other but also showed the very real differences between the two of them, types of differences that could have potentially led to a break-up for one of TV's best couples. Fortunately, Mindy Kaling is a great writer that not only loves and understands the basic format of the romantic comedy but also knows these two characters better than anybody else, so when Danny told Mindy he was going to Austin for Peter's wedding, only to really fly to India to meet her parents, his actions felt real and honest, despite how grand and cinematic they actually were. It's that perfect blend of real life emotion and romantic fantasy that makes The Mindy… »

Ray Donovan, Masters of Sex Get Season 3 Premiere Dates
25 March 2015 10:46 AM, PDT
Showtime has announced the summer premiere dates for the upcoming third seasons of two of the network's top dramas, Ray Donovan and Masters of Sex. Both series will return on Sunday, July 12, with Ray Donovan kicking off Season 3 at 9 p.m. and Masters following it at 10 p.m. The third seasons of both shows will consist of 12 episodes. Per Showtime, Season 3 of Ray Donovan opens with the show's titular character (played by Liev Schreiber) adrift from his family and those closest to him, while he focuses on his business and desires to be his own boss. Meanwhile, his father Mickey (Jon Voight, in his Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe-winning role), who had narrowly escaped last season's heist debacle, finds himself charting a similar course to build his own empire. Joining the show this season are guest stars Ian McShane, Katie Holmes and Elliott Gould. Ray Donovan's cast also includes Paula Malcomson, »

HBO Cancels Looking, Reveals Special Will Tell the Show's "Final Chapter"
25 March 2015 9:18 AM, PDT
We've got some pretty bad news but also some good news for fans of HBO's series Looking. Unfortunately, the cable network has decided to cancel the series after its first two critically-acclaimed but little-watched seasons. However, as I hinted at, there is some good news for fans, as HBO has also announced that it will air a Looking special that will tell the "final chapter" of the story of Patrick and his friends, whose up-and-down lives in San Francisco (both romantically and otherwise) have been the focus of the series throughout its short run. "After two years of following Patrick and his tight-knit group of friends as they explored San Francisco in search of love and lasting relationships, HBO will present the final chapter of their journey as a special," the network revealed in a statement Wednesday. "We look forward to sharing this adventure with the show's loyal fans. »

Museums and Social Justice
A few weeks ago I attended the annual conference of the National Art Education Association in Baltimore, where the theme was Art and Social Justice. I must admit that I rarely pay attention to a conference's theme, but this year was different because social justice is one of my personal passions. Carter educator Sara Klein and I had the opportunity to showcase the Carter's accessible programs and programs for non-traditional audiences through sessions presented to museum educators across the country, and we gained inspiration by viewing the amazing artworks at the American Visionary Art Museum, which was founded on the principle that art and social justice are inextricably linked.
As an American art museum, I believe that we are perfectly suited to making social justice a priority. Our education programs at the Carter often serve to promote social justice (for example, by making our collection accessible to as many audiences as possible) or feature a social justice theme (like educator workshops centered on immigration). Likewise, many artists in our collection have created poignant visual responses to important social issues. Here are some of the works that strongly resonate with me:
Lewis Hine (1874--1940), Looking for Lost Baggage, Ellis Island, 1905, gelatin silver print, P1981.80.1
Robert Glenn Ketchum (b. 1947), CVNRA, #125 (a toxic waterfall in a national recreation area), 1986, from the project "Overlooked in America: The Success and Failure of Federal Land Management," dye destruction print, gift of Advocacy Arts Foundation, ©1986 Robert Glenn Ketchum, P1996.22.3
Reginald Marsh (1898--1954), Bread Line---No One Has Starved, 1932, etching, 1983.83
James Karales (1930--2002), Passive Resistance Training, SNCC, 1960, gelatin silver print, © Monica Karales, P2008.18
Social justice is often achieved through dialogue. Make your voice heard about museums and social justice by posting a comment below.
Food for Thought
This short film came across my desktop this week and made me stop and think about the nature of art and how it is perceived. The video comes from a school in Liverpool, England, and is one of a series of films featuring art that is installed in their school. I found this especially interesting because the artist being discussed, Dan Flavin, has one of his works installed at the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth. Why not stop by the Modern and form your own conclusions about this artist?
After you view this film, drop by the Carter and make up your own mind about what makes art great and why you like/dislike it. Add your comment to our blog so we can be part of the conversation!
Sedrick Huckaby at the Carter Tonight
Well, today is the day of our program, Pacesetters in American Art and Culture!
I mentioned the program and two of our speakers, Kimberly Davenport and Tyler Green, in earlier posts, so last but not least, let's talk about Sedrick Huckaby.
When searching out possibilities, we really wanted to include an artist. We wanted someone who has credentials on multiple levels: schooling, practice, and street cred. Sedrick has all of that. In fact, as his name came up, we realized we had an invitation to an opening of his on our desk, and we had just heard him on the radio. I have included images of a few of his paintings.
Sedrick received his B.FA. from Boston University, his M.F.A from Yale, and also studied at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Skowhegan, Maine. Sedrick has had over twenty solo exhibitions all over the country and has participated in at least fifty group exhibitions. He has lectured and participated in discussions at the Trinity Arts conference in Dallas, TX; the Kimbell Museum; the Dallas Museum of Art; the African American Museum in Dallas; Texas, Rush Art, New York, New York; and more.
His work is held in numerous collections including the African American Museum, Dallas, TX; the Fort Worth Central Library; the McNay Art Museum in San Antonio, Texas; The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York.
Sedrick has won many awards including a Phillip Morris Fellowship, the Lewis Comfort Tiffany Award, the Dallas Museum of Art's Anne Giles Kimbrough Grant, the Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant Program award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship Award. Sedrick is represented by Valley House Gallery & Sculpture Garden in Dallas, TX. When I spoke with Sedrick on the phone, I learned that he is teaching some art classes at the University of Texas at Arlington.
My favorite thing about Sedrick Huckaby is that he is a local guy living right here in Fort Worth.

Tyler Green at the Carter
This Thursday, March 25, come to our panel discussion, Pacesetters in American Art and Culture! Last week I wrote about the inspiration of this program and introduced one of our three panelists, Kimberly Davenport.
Today, I want to talk about Tyler Green. Tyler Green is an art critic based in D.C. who has a blog called Modern Art Notes (MAN). If you follow our blog, chances are you have read his! He has a readership of over 10,000 unique readers per week and covers a variety of topics, exhibitions, and interesting occurrences in the art world, including one of my favorites---the Super Bowl wager between the Indianapolis Museum of Art's director Max Anderson and the New Orleans Museum of Art's director E. John Bullard.
Tyler is a natural fit for this program because our staff reads his blog and, frankly, are interested in what he has to say---and feel the art world is as well. His writing can be friendly, fierce, informative, and persuasive, which makes me feel there is something for everyone---it's a nice surprise to see what's next. The Wall Street Journal has called MAN "the most influential of all visual arts blogs," and newspapers such as the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and the Wall Street Journal have all credited MAN with breaking stories that they later covered.
Tyler has an extensive resume. He has written for Fortune, Conde Nast Portfolio, Smithsonian, Washingtonian, the New York Observer, LA Weekly, Black Book magazine, and more. He has served as an art critic for Artnet Magazine and Bloomberg News, regularly lectures about art, and was named by the Washington Post in 2008 as one of fourteen young and influential cultural figures active in Washington, D.C. He also lectures regularly about art, including at the Brooklyn Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art, George Washington University, Detroit's College for Creative Studies, Artissima in Turin, Italy, and more than I can name here.
All this, and I heard a rumor that he used to be a sports writer!
There is still room to come and see the man behind the blog during our free public program Pacesetters in American Art and Culture! Admission is free, but because seating is limited, reservations are required. Call 817.989.5030 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to register.
Public Program Alert
I am very excited to announce our upcoming program Pacesetters in American Art and Culture on March 25. This program was inspired by the special exhibition American Moderns on Paper: Masterworks from the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art on display through May 30.
To fully understand the inspiration for this program, we must look to A. Everett "Chick" Austin Jr. He was a dynamic man who became director of the Wadsworth Atheneum (from which this exhibition hails) in 1927 at the young age of 26. From there he threw lavish parties, helped introduce America to modern art, and energized all who came in contact with him–a true pacesetter in American art. His legacy for collecting new and cutting-edge work continues at the Wadsworth. Last week we held a book club to learn more about Chick Austin (and four others)with the book Patron Saints: Five Rebels Who opened America to a New Art, 1928–1943.
We thought it would be great to showcase individuals who we feel are pacesetters today in the arts and humanities and bring them together to speak about what drives their creativity and how they continue to make innovative and energetic contributions to the arts and humanities as their careers progress.
Leading up to the program on March 25, I will offer a brief introduction to each panelist and explain why we chose them. Our panelists are Kimberly Davenport, Tyler Green, and Sedrick Huckaby.
I first came across Kimberly Davenport about four years ago while visiting a friend in Houston. I heard of the innovative exhibitions at the Rice Gallery (where she is Director) and learned that it is strictly a site specific installation gallery where artists come and create, celebrate, and then tear it all down. This is not the norm for university galleries! Many university galleries house local and some nationally-known artists, a faculty exhibition, senior exhibitions, and then start the rotation over again the next school year. It seems to be the mold that works, and quite well in many places. But, when Davenport became Director of Rice Gallery, she broke the mold. She believed in her dream for Rice Gallery, and the powers that be believed in her. Since starting in 1994, she not only developed the vision and artistic direction for Rice Gallery, but also serves as its curator.
As we began brainstorming potential pacesetters for this upcoming program, Davenport immediately came to mind. Some internet searching revealed that she has had a very interesting career path prior to starting at Rice Gallery. She has also worked as a muralist in Baltimore, was curator of contemporary art at the Wadsworth Atheneum (where our current exhibition is from), and earned a graduate degree in divinity from Yale University. While at Yale, she worked as a graduate assistant for the Department of European and Contemporary Art at the Yale University Art Gallery and was hired on as staff after graduation.
Today, in addition to her duties at Rice Gallery, Davenport is a National Peer of the Design Excellence Program of the United States General Services Administration, and in 2007 served as a member of the GSA's national Design Awards jury. She is a member of the University of Houston Public Art Committee, as well as the Houston Museum District Association, where she serves as vice president of the board. She holds degrees from the Maryland Institute College of Art and Yale University.
Come and hear more about Kimberly Davenport during our free public program Pacesetters in American Art and Culture and learn about what gets her motivated, how she handles obstacles, and how she continues to grow and change with the arts.
Stay tuned to learn more about our other two panelists!
Admission is free, but because seating is limited, reservations are required. Call 817.989.5030 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com to register.

Know Before You Go: Modern Art
What do you think of when you hear the phrase "modern art?" Multi-colored Marilyns? Blocks of color? These are wonderful examples of the ism that is modern, but our recent special exhibition (and the Carter's great collection of modern paintings and sculptures) has broadened my horizons. Here are some ideas on how to learn more about modern art before you visit the Carter.
For an informative read on the modern movement, try Why a Painting is Like a Pizza: A Guide to Understanding and Enjoying Modern Art, by Nancy Heller. This easy-to-digest book helps you use analytical skills you already have to "read" modern art and enjoy it. This book is available from the Fort Worth Public Library or through your local book retailer.

Seeing, smelling, hearing, touching and tasting bluebonnets...?
Not having grown up in Texas, when I first joined the Carter team I did not realize the significance of Julian Onderdonk's painting A Cloudy Day, Bluebonnets near San Antonio, Texas. A reproduction of it was hanging in my office when I arrived, and I was not impressed. It was only after the Gallery Teachers and I decided to use it on a tour that I began to appreciate the painting's aesthetic qualities as well as its importance to the state of Texas.
Julian Onderdonk (1882–1922)
A Cloudy Day, Bluebonnets near San Antonio, Texas, 1918
Oil on canvas
Ruth Carter Stevenson Acquisitions Endowment, In honor of Lady Bird Johnson
Students from Texas are so familiar with these little blue flowers that most of the time they don't even need to look at the label to figure out what we are looking at. In fact, when we situate students in front of this painting they can hardly wait to start talking! I apprise students of my non-Texas-native status and they are thrilled to tell me why this flower is so important to the state (for those of you who don't know bluebonnets are the official state flower of Texas. A springtime Texas tradition is to take photographs of kids and pets nestled among the bluebonnets.). They also warn me not to pick bluebonnets in the wild (a commonly held belief is that it is illegal to pick wild bluebonnets in the state of Texas). Once we establish what we are looking at (field of bluebonnets), where we are (just outside of San Antonio, Texas), what season it is (bluebonnets bloom in the spring), we begin our multi-sensory approach to experiencing this work of art.
As the students and I begin our imaginary trek on the path that cuts through this field of bluebonnets, I ask them to stop and take look around to tell me what they see. The value in stopping and just looking is apparent when students begin to describe their bluebonnet surroundings. They notice (of course) the bluebonnets, but then they take in the tall, gangly trees on the left with the green tufts of leaves and contrast them with the delicate, wispy trees on the right that are just starting to blossom with the slimmest white buds. They explore the scene a little more and discover the hills in the background as their eyes begin to look upward to the sky. Students often remark that in a painting so full of blue that it's hard to tell where the bluebonnets end and the sky begins.
We move on to our next sense as we are standing on the path. I ask the students to close their eyes, inhale deeply, and tell me what they think they would smell. Fresh air, rain, dirt, and the country are all frequent answers. My favorite has to be "it would smell like when you pull towels out of the dryer and stick your face in them." Yes, this field of bluebonnets would smell exactly like a face-full of clean towels.
This seemingly silent scene seems to spring to life when I ask students to listen for sounds. We frequently hear birds chirping and tweeting high up in the trees. As soon as one student mentions that we might hear a bee, one by one each student begins to buzz until we have a gallery that would make a beekeeper smile. Every once in a while we encounter a snake on our walk. Slowly the students start hissing and suddenly one snake becomes a nest of snakes as we talk about all of them slithering through the bluebonnets. Students like to point out that we probably wouldn't see the snakes in the tall bluebonnets, but we would hear them.
We stop again on the path and this time I ask the students to pretend to take off their shoes. As we take a few barefoot steps I want them to describe what they feel underneath their feet. This is their chance to practice using texture words: hard, rough, gritty, bumpy, course, dusty, rocky, and dry. Next I ask them to imagine that it had rained earlier in the day and to take a few steps. Now the fun texture words enter into our conversation: squishy, soggy, muddy, sticky, gooey, jelly-like, and slippery.
As we near the end of our walk through the bluebonnets I can always tell that they students are wondering what I am going to have them taste. Rather than having them eat a bluebonnet, I tell them that we are going to have a picnic and they get to pick what they would like to pack in their picnic baskets. After a little encouragement, students are very excited to talk about their food choices. Sometimes their lunches are inspired by the bluebonnets and include grape jelly sandwiches, purple Gatorade, blue raspberry Jolly Ranchers candy, blueberry pie, red grapes, berry Fruit Roll Ups, and grape soda. Other times students are truly thinking with their stomachs and say they would pack chocolate cake, hamburgers, nachos (with jalapenos), sandwiches, fruit, cookies, Happy Meals, and their mom's meatballs. One of my favorite taste-related responses was from a student who requested to have a pizza delivered to our field of bluebonnets. I don't think pizza would taste quite as good anywhere else.
As you look at and think about A Cloudy Day, Bluebonnets near San Antonio, Texas, I invite you to use the same multi-sensory approach as we use with students. Where do your eyes take you in this work of art? What does the country-side smell like to you? If you listen closely, what do you hear? Run your fingers along the delicate tops of the flowers; how does it feel? Finally, what meal would you eat in this glorious field of bluebonnets?
