It does make me wonder how many people are aware of Angel's Egg in the west purely due to that one Vaatividya video. I'm convinced it led to a notable uptick in awareness and interest. Which was probably not hard given how few of us there were before. Also the movie you're talking about is...

Great to hear. I thought I had heard rumblings about it, but a quick search didn't find any press announcement so I assumed I imagined the whole thing. Wouldn't be the first time.

Seeing as AL are responsible for the theatrical screenings of Angel's Egg, has there been any mentioned about whether there are any plans for a physical release? I believe the film has recently seen a blu ray in Australia, but I've heard no word either here or America following from their...

Yeah, I never saw the Clementary either, so I'd like to hear what he said. Although I can make guesses. Once you know that Oishii was quite interested in Christianity and had seriously considered entering seminary at a young age, you can make a lot of notions about the film being about the...

I've ordered it. I watched the show as it aired and quite enjoyed it. It's mostly a light-hearted gag comedy about a group of slightly annoying kids getting into antics. I'd liken it to something like Mitsuboshi Colors, or to use a slightly less obscure example, a more relaxed Asobe Asobasi. Or...

I might pick up those sets, although despite enjoying the original tv series, the delayed ova format has slowly killed my enthusiasm for keeping up with the franchise. The same thing happened with Girls Und Panzer. I feel the approach of focused merchandising of your show in installments over...

I would imagine they've been forced to sign non-disclosure agreements. You might get some comments made by freelancers like voice actors or translators, but most of them are too dependent on work to think about permanently burning bridges through publicly airing grievances. After all, they...

No real surprises at all in that article for anyone paying close attention to the industry or the coy murmurings from older ex-CR staff. The company of the early-mid 00's has largely vanished, with the public faces of its fan-focused enthusiasm long gone or silent. Your Evan Minto's, Nate...

I recall several years back MVM mentioning that Aniplex had become increasingly difficult to work with, at least in terms of replying to acquisition requests, signing off on things etc. Who knows how that might have changed, but some huge sea-level changes have occurred since then, namely Sony...

I've heard it mentioned from a few sources that attempts at releasing pre-90's (& not-Gundam) titles have performed terribly. Like double-digits bad in some cases. There's no established historical exposure, & thus fandom here, or even appreciation for the classics like in France & Italy, nor is...

O Maiden's is great little coming of age story. I've honestly never been a huge fan of Mari Okada's approach to melodrama or relationships, but the show tones down a lot of her worst excesses and becomes a lot more thoughtful & considered as a result. So there's far less scenes of people...

Does the CR shop still not allow international orders?

Oh ****, you're right! I wonder why that wasn't included in the press release that went out to other news outlets? Also why Tenjo Tenge was on that same press release, but not on MVM's personal announcement link on the UK Anime Network? Odd. Either way, it's great news. Demon Girl Next Door...

Fairly slim picking in terms of shows I'm interested in, but I'll definitely pick up Made in Abyss S2. I think I have the Sentai version, but that's a series so good/horrible as to justify buying twice.

I'm honestly happy enough with those announcements. I'm not a massive fan of Macross Plus & even less so of Zero, but it's nice they're both getting releases. It is funny to me that the Ultimate edition uses the same artwork as my ratty 20+ year old dvd set, but I guess those designs are...
