Well, I had actually seen Welcome to the Space Show at a film festival back a year ago and it is a good and sincere film about a children's adventure. It has some great and interesting animation as well as awe inspiring art direction and quirky character and mechanical designs, on that part I even liked it more than Summer Wars or TokiKake. It's also a lot flashier than other art house films lately. I guess I could understand it when somebody slams down its screenplay compared to TokiKake/Summer Wars/Coo, but it is a really great, engaging and fun film on its own. One of the few anime during the past year that I had fun watching.

What I personally am waiting for this year is Hara's Colorful, which has a BD/DVD release coming up in April. Since it's Hara and the trailer was quite interesting I'm expecting a lof of things from it.
