    I have thoughts, but I really need a second episode before I can comment. Given the shortness of the episodes, I do think they should have given us two the first week.

    I didn't realize it was only 9 episodes. My first instinct is to ask if that's enough time, but they have done a dynamite job with this show up to this point, so I'm just going to assume they'll stick the landing in the first season.

    Chances are yes, but no official word that I've seen.

    Was Iczer One the third anime on the Books Nippan flier announcing Gunbuster and Dangaioh? Anyone remember?
  5. Duke Togo
    I sold my VHS copies of Gunbuster on eBay years ago. Sold all of my anime I had on VHS. It sold well, even though a lot of it was available on DVD at that point.

    So, we were paying, what, $30 per VHS? At two episodes per (am I remembering that right?). Which is $65 in 2023 money. The modern anime industry in the US was built upon our wallets.

    I currently have the old Bandai(?) DVD set, but have wanted to upgrade to blu-ray for a long while now. Like many, I was introduced to Gunbuster via the US Renditions VHS releases and it's been a favorite of mine for decades now. I still recall the flier I got from Books Nippan that listed the upcoming releases of Dangiaoh, Gunbuster, and one other anime that I can't recall. Dangaioh and Gunbuster were must haves because of Kawamori and Mikimoto.

    Apparently, this was announced last year. I'm pretty jazzed that we can finally get the full 6-part OVA in NA on blu-ray and not just the condensed movie version that's been the only thing available.

    Discotek Media is releasing the full, 6-part Aim for the Top! Gunbuster OVA in April on blu-ray. Will include unspecified special features and a brand new English dub. It's available for preorder on Amazon and RightStuf.

    For those who might be interested, I listen to The Prestige TV Podcast quite often and their The Last of Us Deep Dive pods have been really good. They add some game perspective into it, which has been great for me since I played the game a decade ago and don't remember a lot of it.

    Oh, really should mention

    Also, I'd like to note that I haven't heard Bella Ramsey's accent slip once. Or if it did, I didn't notice it. She's done a great job.

    Another excellent episode. I've said it before and I'll say it against: TV and film adaptations of video games cannot be what they were prior to this. The previous level of quality is just not acceptable after what they've done with this show.
  14. Duke Togo
    Good friend of mine saw it yesterday, her thoughts pretty much matched up with reviews. Not a good movie. I'm leaning toward finally making a break with Marvel here.
  15. Duke Togo
    The reviews for this have not been good. I keep thinking with each release over the past year or two that "I'm done, I'm getting off this train." Yet, I haven't. But maybe this is it?
  16. Duke Togo
    Everything Everywhere All at Once came out after Dial of Destiny had wrapped filming. So, not exactly something they could have done.
  17. Duke Togo
    I was about to ask where Weltall-Id is, but I see that's available as well.
  18. Duke Togo
    For those unaware, this week's episode was released Friday night (10th) to avoid conflict with the Super Bowl on Sunday. So, it can be watched right now.
  19. Duke Togo
    So, I'll kick this off. Another top-notch prestige series by HBO. Fantastic adaptation so far. Any changes made to the narrative have been for the better. Loving it.
  20. Duke Togo
    Starting a threat for discussion revolving around HBO's adaptation of The Last of Us. Please clearly mark all game spoilers as such. All other spoilers will be considered series-specific.
  21. Duke Togo
    We should probably have a thread just for The Last of Us show on HBO. There's nothing of greater quality being discussed on MW right now.
  22. Duke Togo
    The Last of Us on HBO is not only an excellent drama, it's also the best video game adaptation ever made. By a mile. It makes all the rest look even worse than they already do. If you're sleeping on this show, don't. It's going to end up on everyone's top TV of 2023 list at the end of the year.
  23. Duke Togo
    Disappointed in this season. This is not what I wanted from this show at all. No desire for the final part of the story.
  24. Duke Togo
    It was a better episode.
  25. Duke Togo
    Yes. While I thought it was good, I was disappointed that they stuck so close to home. They could have chosen any era, spanning thousands of years, and brought some Legend characters into the canon, but no.
