The annual Leeds Film Festival is playing a small number of Japanese films, including both anime and live-action, this November. The titles announced so far are: Sword of the Stranger: produced by Studio BONES and directorial debut of Masahiro Ando Mind Game: directed by Masaaki Yuasa...

Fight back with the Counter-script.

The official site has an English language section, which allows you to watch the first ep online. The second ep is only available through Crunchyroll *cough*and fansub*cough* but the first one should give an idea of what it's like. Knowing your tastes, I'm sure you'll enjoy it! :D

Time of Eve is indeed fantastic - one of the best 2008 series I think. I could go on for ages about why you should watch it, but I have a blog for that. ;)

Ignoring the predictably idiotic tirades from conan-san (seriously dude, do you have nothing better to do with your time?) this is actually very good news, if all goes to plan. ADV's problems are well-documented - too much so I suspect, which might be making their recovery much harder - so this...

Pan's Labyrinth: 10/10 Fantastical, dark and utterly spectacular - definitely up there with my all-time favourites. The way that del Toro combines historical events with fairy tales (and not the harmless and fluffy kind of fairy tales either, much to my delight) is masterful and the...

I've heard the Spice & Wolf novels are actually better than the anime, which I found to be fun but not really outstanding. Hopefully I'll enjoy the in-print version more...good news indeed.

Looks like the restoration work is going really well - I visited a few months back and it looked really impressive (especially the stained glass at the front. I'll have to visit when I go to Manchester in November since they've apparently put the dome/clock tower back and by the looks of things...

The animation is a bit 'meh' but at times the innocent watercolour style to the art actually makes it more powerful - you have your bishoujo moeblobs but the subject matter is really quite mature and hard-hitting. I can see why some people hate it (oh, the ANGST) but I was very deeply moved...

Chommunism! :lol: If you make Jaffa Cakes the national currency and Celebrity Battle Royale a regular fixture of the TV schedules, you have my vote. :thumb:

<img src="http://www.animeuknews.net/img/uploaded/2008-08-24black-cat-2-cover.jpg"> <b>Review of Black Cat #2 by Martin</b> I'm in two minds about the second instalment of Black Cat. This volume contains a drastic and jarring change in tone that results from a significant and quite shocking...

I like the sound of that. It's fairly similar to the views of one or two methodists I know, who seem to have a more 'laid back' and open-minded stance while still maintaining Christian values. Interesting. That's a really good question. The "We are right. Do not question us," attitude I was...

I'm supposed to be Christian since I believe that a guy called Jesus existed at some point in history and had good ideas in regards to peace, love and tolerance. Humans are an aberration and as such ought to be more responsible about screwing over the planet (and each other). Beyond that I have...

The Belgian stuff? If you enjoy that I'd also recommend Kwak (it's all about the mini yard glass it's served in), Delirium Tremens and my personal fave Chimay blue label. :twisted:

I read somewhere that it's about nazi zombies...if that is true I'm definitely checking this out! :D

I'm really looking forward to the Sky Crawlers - if it doesn't get a UK release I'll probably end up importing it anyway. From what little I've heard about it so far, it's supposed to be Oshii's most character-driven and accessible movie so far. *fingers crossed*

I'm not a big fan of the music style West is categorised under but to see a mainstream performer/artist collaborating with a member of the Superflat movement of all things is very interesting indeed. The song itself isn't too bad actually (I admit it's pleasantly surprised me) but the imagery of...

That means I still have to pay off my student loan then? :evil:

I miss having a TV connection sometimes. :( I'm not a sports fan normally, but it's always good to see our home side doing well on occasion. Re: the Olympics.

I've seen the Cillit Bang remix before but it's still genius! iirc the same guy gave Michael Winner and Esure insurance the same treatment - that's funny but Barry Scott wins out I think. I'm not into that style of music but it's catchy and actually quite clever in this case. The Volvic one...
