  1. It seems KyoAni decided it had done to move on from shows where cute girls with huge eyes outnumbered the boys. And now they're making up for lost time with a lot of boys in semipermanent state of undress. I guess this will be pretty popular in certain sectors. Maybe more girls will watch anime too.
  2. Yup. There was also one that had a head that looked suspiciously like one of the Giant Warrior's in Nausicaa.
  3. ^ His latest films have been a tad verbose so I agree with you. Love all his Patlabor stuff and Urusei Yatsura (specially Beautiful Dreamer). His live action Avalon was pretty good too I thought.
  4. Awesome. Do you think he's going to direct it? Or will he be more of an executive producer type? So much looking forward to this.
  5. One thing I forgot to add about that last episode is that it had one great looking example of Itano Circus.
  6. Finally had 2 hours alone to watch the Movie Version. Looks absolutely beautiful. I could really see some details that just weren't present noticeable before (a lot of strange looking figures in the public present at Sharon Apple's concert for example). Shame about the subs, but it's not as if I hadn't seen this 20 times before and know what a more precise translation is. I hope the OVA is just as great a watch in glorious HD.
  7. I'm sure Bebop will get a US BD release at one point. CB was really popular with it being on Adult Swim and all, and it think it's one of the few older series that can almost be guaranteed to sell well amongst fans. The BD is getting a European/UK release at the end of july (and for less than 60 US dollars too) so I suppose an American release is not that far away. The license is probably a lot more expensive and since it's the same BD region as Japan, I guess they're afraid of reverse imports so that might be an obstacle.
  8. And just in time for the upcoming movie. Have you seen that trailer? I've read that the producers are gunning for an international release for that one (sounds optimistic to me but who knows?!). We do get some good backstory and an idea of how things have developed to the way they are now.
  9. The latest Attack on Titan episode was pretty boss and delivered action with some pretty impressive soundtrack to back it up. I hope that for the second half of the series they improve the pacing of the series. If Sheryl Nome is a bland character then I'm Elvis Presley's lovechild and heir to the Gates fortune. This is all.
  10. Done reading chapter 3. Another great read. Again thanks a lot for the translation Gubaba. There was just a tiny typo halfway down on page 3 where you missed a "to" in "She seems be doing better, doesn’t she?”. Unless of course it is implied that Global's japanese was not perfect
  11. I really like the illustration with the leading ladies of Macross in formation. Even Ishtar and Flower Girl got a spot on it. Found it a bit odd though that Sheryl was front and centre ahead of Minmay but it 2013 after all.
  12. A true anime classic by Gainax will come out in BD in october. Although the Bandai and Madman DVD releases are excellent, the temptation to get this one in BD quality will be strong. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-06-27/maiden-japan-to-release-royal-space-force-film-on-dvd/bd-in-october
  13. I'm thinking of checking out those 2 as well if Crunchyroll has them on their roster. Both look pretty fun. I'm also gonna catch Monogatari 2nd season which will be streamed by Daisuki/Aniplex.
  14. Opened it up to check that everything was in working order before throwing out the carton and bubble wrap. It looks absolutely gorgeous, specially in the OVA. The colours are so bright and everything looks so sharp. Cannot wait to thursday to see the movie version.
  15. And let's not forget that there is a lot of stuff released in other languages too. My last trip to Paris I was amazed at the amount of classic anime that could be had (with french subtitles of course). I'd never seen so many Matsumoto series together in one place. Series that have been sold out for years in english (like Maison Ikkoku) could be had relatively cheap too. I've been told that in Italy you can get a lot of older anime as well. I suppose that in those markets, the cost of licensing is significantly cheaper.
  16. GOT IT! But I didn't know that DHL now charged you the customs fee on your door so my happiness was somewhat subdued by a 55 euro customs charge. No matter. As soon as I have time I'll see the movie version.
  17. While I wait for GITS Arise to be released, I needed a cyberpunk fix so after some searching I came across Ergo Proxy (heard of it back in the day but was to busy to check it out). The first chapter looks ver promising with great art,story and music. And having Radiohead's Paranoid Android as the ED clinched it for me. Hope it doesn't dissappoint.
  18. Just went into DHL's website and it's cleared customs and should be delivered either today or tomorrow. Yay!
  19. I'm trying to read keeping behind the anime so I don't spoil the action and we're roughly up to episode 15 so far. They are keeping it very, very close to the manga and only moved some chapters chronologically which I think was a good move by the director. And as Archer said, there are 46 eps out., so I think a second season is not far fetched unless we get an anime original ending.
  20. Finished Chapter 2. It really fleshes out the world before the launch of the Macross quite nicely as well as Misa's backstory. Good read. Thanks for the translation again Gubaba. 2 quick questions: Is chapter 2 the final chapter? Where can I get this Shubie Borts - His Life of Bleach and Isolation?
  21. JVMacross, where do you get all this stuff? Did you like break into Big West at some point and clean them out of archived stuff?
  22. Episode 12, Attack on Titan's director in really not much into rushing things. Very deliberate slowburn pacing here. I get the feeling this series will get a second season (specially with the success it's having). And to Dat Punch and Dat Jaw, it's added Dat Blush now.
