    Leeds Anime day

    Even more miffed at missing Gin Tama movie. :( What was the clarity like for those supposedly on HDCAM (Gin Tama, ONE PIECE and REDLINE)?

    Leeds Anime day

    Yep. I got my ticket today; that the Gin Tama I have was given to me by people whom got it for free purely on principle of not owning any Gin Tama and without looking at it beyond the cover tells one what the level of Gin Tama love in Leeds is like. :?

    Leeds Anime day

    Don't forget there's also Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem being screened for the agreeable price for an SD video projection of FREE at Nation of Shopkeepers on Saturday, 20th at 8:00 PM. Places are still limited though so it would still be prudent to get a ticket, which...

    MANGA UK: To Shortly Announce New Licenses for Early 2011?

    Subbed OKAMOTO Tadanari. Or the classic Tôei Dôga features, or THE Hakkenden. :P No, wait – even better… Ai no Kusabi (the early '90s two-parter, if you're asking). :D I would start buying anime series again if they released even YUASA Masaaki ones, though.

    Anime Con News Round-Up for BEEZ, MVM and other Info!

    YES and I would pay for them if they were download-to-own (neither streams or discs of them are of use to me, though I imagine the latter being preferable for the fangirls one would want to aim these at – and anything is an improvement over streams) as well as well-translated (i.e. better than...

    Manga UK to release Eden Of The East?

    I think it's very probable, with this being Manga. Out of recent releases that are potentially available in HD, it's only older films that would need a new transfer and live-action things like the GeGeGe-no-Kitarô films (which have a Blu-ray in North America but not here) that they've scrimped...

    Spice & Wolf has cover jackets due to retailers requests

    One can frequently find despair-inducing false advertising with DVD covers of foreign films, even when both are photographic. Remember the unrelated generic horror image that Revolver were thinking of releasing the Ôtomo Katsuhiro Mushishi film under (and thankfully reconsidered)? Today I saw...

    Sword Of The Stranger & Fullmetal Alchemist coming to BR

    Angel's egg, Summers Wars and Ponyo at Leeds Film Festival

    I have a ticket for Tenshi no Tamago on the 20th, in the hope that I'd be more likely to see it with someone I knew on that day, but I'd really to change it for one on the Thursday if I still can as it would be so much convenient to be watching it when it's already dark and I'm unlikely to be...

    Susan Boyle sings in Eagle Talon 3rd film

    Many anime movies are 30- or 40-something minutes long as they were originally screened as part of double or triple features; also quite often a short film will precede the longer one(s). Though saying that, Petrov's Moya lyubov comes in at under 30 minutes and that seems to have been shown on...

    little Norse Prince

    Subbed versions, though not in quite as good quality are at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcIiwmclfvw&fmt=18, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qam9JBk5Oig&fmt=18, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73uIn56G1YE&fmt=18 and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FtVVRuy1T9c&fmt=18 (thanks to niffiwan for...

    Another anime series spotted on UK TV

    And yet, another current thread is lamenting "why anime is next to the porn section in HMV" and I'm at least as concerned about the stereotypes of "anime consists solely of pans and generic-looking people standing still while their mouths flap up and down" and what we could get with Yu-Gi-Oh...

    Another anime series spotted on UK TV

    While at a relative's house earlier this week, I happened to notice that Ukkari Pénélope (Careless Pénélope), an animated series by Nippon Animation based on the French series of picture books Pénélope tête en l'air (Head-in-the-Clouds Pénélope), has been showing in a British-dubbed version as...

    4 new possible UK Anime liceneses appearing on HMV?

    Sherlock Hound (Meitantei Holmes) is, or rather was, a Miyazaki Hayao creation, directed and partially written by him in the early '80s just before Nausicaä, not just something he was tangentially involved in (though such things still tend to be of interest). The confusing thing is that...

    Gunparade March Clips

    "The Director of" is a little misleading: SAKURABI Katsushi, the overall director of this series, has directed has directed numerous episodes of Utena as an episode director; the series director of Utena was IKUHARA Kunihiko.
