The Japanese versions have the English dub and subs on them.

The whole argument is so tiring, I've long since given up caring.. or illegally downloading music for that matter. On the one hand, there are so many cheap or free and legal ways of experiencing new music that I don't fully understand why anyone bothers pirating it. On the other, I'm left...

Actually, Gundam X is easily one of the least watchable in my opinion. You're right that it's not 'the worst gundam show ever made', but both of those were at least direct sequels to worthwhile series, and at least had some kind of sideshow value in how frequently rubbish they were. Gundam X is...

Yzak x Dearka Om nom nom? On the plus side, the series features two of the only episodes in the entire franchise where splitting a mecha into three separate parts actually has some kind of practical application beyond the cost cutting potential of 30 second transformation sequences. It only...

Oh there's a Destiny character who is an envelope pusher on crazy. How the **** am I supposed to sympathise with someone who dances off a cliff?

Nena Trinity? She doesn't even appear on the radar for me. Because without fail a Gundam production has a dipshit female character doing something grotesquely stupid, irrational and mindlessly destructive for no good reason. The old me would give you a year by year run down of these moments, but...

You've seriously only just found this? Old but gold.

Have you actually tried ordering it though? They don't just keep obscure stuff like that in the warehouse, you usually have to get them to chase it up.

Yes, console wars were so much more fun when it was obvious how incompetent one side was. At least we're getting the nostalgia of pointless peripheral releases this year. As for Sonic in Mario games, the biggest shame is that they're the best game the character appears in. And kart-style...

Tried PlayUSA.com? They list it for £18.99. Out of stock, but worth a try. I've watched one episode and didn't think much of it tbh.

What was said here. There are a few anime noir moments or episodes in many of the more experimental series (and movies, because IIRC Millenium Actress and Paprika dip into it just as Paranoia Agent did), but I can't think of anything along the lines of full blown film noir. It's extremely hard...

Up until last week-ish, I probably hadn't watched anime in about half a year. Just been through Stand Alone Complex 2 and Paranoia Agent, and I finally got the fifth 'chapter' of the now obsolete Zeta Gundam singles for a reasonable price, so I'm finishing that off too (yes, yes, I've seen it...

You're putting out fire WITH GASOLINE.

The films are almost completely watchable without having seen the preceeding OVA series (because I haven't seen that, and they were pretty good.) What sounds confusing is that for Patlabor 2, Oshii supposedly takes heavily from the fifth and sixth OVA episodes anyway. So the shorter continuity...

I tend to just prefer the Manga, regardless of which version I find first. I suppose it's because: a) The manga nearly always provides the creator a lot more space to flesh out every aspect of the story (and when anime is fitted neatly into those 13, 26 or 52 episode blocks, it tends to get...

Spirited Away was featured in a end of year round-up of the only issue of a Movie magazine I've ever read. It looked absolutely beautiful and it was. That and the internet. If you're young and into forums, Anime is pretty conspicuous. Honestly though, before Ghibli, I consciously avoided it...

Duran Duran.

Ponyo - 5/10. Not a typo. Have a copypasta:

Your hemorrhoids are flaring up again, eh?

I fight like a cow?
