Yeah, 3x24min episodes is not enough time to bring the series to a conclusion, especially with the recent 8th episode being slower than the others. There's some speculation out there that divides folks into two sides about the movie a.) it will summarize the series as a whole or b.) it will conclude the series, filling plot holes and whatnot.
For K-ON!, the Christmas episode made me cringe a bit, but there has to be an obligatory Christmas/New Year episode in most any series. So far there's 25 chapters of material to go through, and the anime just wrapped up the 17th chapter as of ep. 9; so I don't expect the anime to wrap up with their end goal just yet. My guess is that there will be a second season or some sort of OVA to wrap the group's final year. Nice Boat Bowl.

Watched The Sky Crawlers, which I got a while ago but recently found out that it is available here in the U.S. now, and it's a very thought-provoking tale. The entire two hours dragged on and during that time I was trying to figure out the director's message was for the film and what will happen at the end. It's not an action flick, it's more of a psychological drama flick, although I was first expecting it to be mainly action due to the dogfight scene at the very beginning. After that it tones down and very quickly jumps back and forth between action and drama. It's remarkably simplistic which is similar to a film, Tony Takitani, I watched for class about a month ago with a melancholy tale of perhaps the world's loneliest man.
Completed Spice and Wolf and am looking forward to the second season coming this July. The series really is about macro-economics in the medieval times, no doubt about that. The main part of the series, apart from the economic aspect, is the chemistry between the two main characters. I expect that the second season will delve deeper into this as well; however there's a change of animation studios, so I'll have to take a look-see at the OVA released not too long ago.
Completed Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Goodbye Mr. Despair Extreme) series and the 3-part OVA. I'll summarize it with one word: random. I've been left in despair...until July.
