    Boooooo
  2. The Shade
    Just finished the Dirty Pair OVA. It was ok, but nothing special like the TV Series or Project Eden. Next stop: Zeta Gundam (no spoilers please)
  3. The Shade
    Finished Baccano. Even though the story was a bit confusing, I whole heartily recommend this series.
  4. The Shade
    Finished episode 6 of Bacanno. The plot is slowly starting to become clearer. So far, it was worth waiting the extra week for the DVD set to arrive by mail. The cast seems pretty well rounded so far and that's helping the show stay fresh. I am starting to understand why so many people were talking a lot about this series last year.

    Finally got my Bacanno DVD's through the mail (thank you Canada Customs for holding them up at the border). Watched the first 2 eps. I'm confused , but I've heard that that is the reaction you're supposed to have at this point in the series. It's got my interest (what with the, um, very interesting & varied cast), and I'll keep watching.

    It did take its time to get moving, but once it did... As for the theme song, it changes every 13-14 episodes.

    Probably for 2 reasons: 1) The remaster R2 DVD boxed set hasn't been out for that long yet (2008), so Bandai/Big West probably want their stock to sell out as much as possible. 2) As M+ was animated (?) on 35mm, it would probably require a new transfer. Maybe the wait is just to make sure that the money spent on a new transfer would translate well into sales. Tying back into 1), in order to maximize profit, they would wait until they knew they could squeeze as much of out of new BD set as they can.

    You get another recommendation for Planetes. The hard sci-fi aspects of it were so well handled, that it's a wonder we don't see more shows following what they did.

    Good to know I wasn't the only one who didn't like Gundam 0080. Yeah, the parts involving the adults was well handled, but it's unfortunate that the majority of the OVA focused on an 11 year old kid. Oh well, I'm done with it. Canada Post still haven't delivered my Baccano DVD's , so I've decided to start watching the Irresponsible Captain Tylor OVA (that's I've been putting off for a few months now).

    Just finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket. Somebody shoot me. Arrgghhh!!! This OVA sucked. Next show: hopefully my Baccano DVD's can arrive by mail soon. Darn Canada Post and their slowness.

    The first 3 were officially released by Tokyo Pop, but the series fell victim to their downsizing a couple of years ago and they stopped releasing them. There are fan translations out there for books 4-10: a Google search might help.

    Thanks Jason. Please keep us updated.

    Hi Jasonc. Not to sound impatient, but how's the project going?
  14. The Shade
    Finished Gundam 08th MS Team. I liked it for what it was: a side story to the one year war. But I have to ask: wtf was up with episode 12? I realize this was just an epilogue, but it really added nothing at all to anything. Next stop: Gokusen live action season 2. Let the wackiness continue!!!

    Currently watching Gundam 08th MS Team. I must say that, after the really lackluster MS IGLOO, this is like a breath of fresh air. 08th MS Team started off really well for the first 2 eps, then slowed down. I'm up to ep 8 and it looks like things are starting to pick up again and move towards the climax. Hopefully, for a side story to the 1 year war, this still delivers the goods (at least by the standards of a side story OVA).
  16. The Shade
    Sweet. Please keep us posted.

    When you're done making your case art, can you post samples? I might be interested in them. Also, are you going to do 16 standard DVD cases, 8 double cases, 16 thin packs, 8 double thin packs? Just wondering.
  18. The Shade
    Turn A was a good enough show, but yeah, that theme song really brought the show down a notch or 2. If you want to know whether or not you should watch it, do what I did. Skip the theme song each episode and be patient for the first 20-25 episodes. It will be slow, but the wait will be worth it.

    I went a bit retro (now that we're in the 2010s, is the 1990s now considered old school?) and decided to watch "Now and Then, Here and There" from 1999. I've watched 6 episodes so far. It's good, but sort of depressing. Can't wait to watch more.

    I'm Misa Hayase. (If my wife sees this, she'll probably want to ask some questions)
  21. The Shade
    Thanks, and thanks for the quick reply.
  22. The Shade
    How good were the VIP subs? As good as the PsyKorps/Central Anime ones?
  23. The Shade
    Really? Then I'm counting myself lucky that I never bought the old set. Oh, and this series just keeps on being funny.
  24. The Shade
    Have watched 6 episode of Irresponsible Captain Tylor so far. Man, this series is hilarious. A note, I'm watching the Right Stuff Remastered DVDs that were sourced from the remastered Japanese DVDs. While I love having a remastered product, and the video looks crisp & sharp, I think the Japanese firm that remastered this series also worked on Macross DYRL. The video is pretty grainy, even on my 31 inch old CRT screen. Aside from that, I'm loving this series and am looking forward to the next episodes.

    Next series for me: Irresponsible Captain Tylor. My wife got me the remastered DVD's for my birthday last week. I'm so lucky.
