Thanks for the tips, now I just have to worry about prices!

To play foreign Gamecube games? I don't think a chipped PS2 would help :P I already have a couple of US Gamecube games, I was just wondering if anyone could recommend a decent online importer. I mentioned the PS2 RPGs as those seem to be very popular with some of the game importers here.

What is the best site to import games from? Lots of Gamecube games will just never come out here, and while I've used some importers before I wonder what sites the crazy Japanese PS2 RPG lovers here would recommend. I'm particularly after Chibi Robo which I doubt we'll ever see in the UK...

And Spirited Away is now going for £4.99.

It sounds like they're using leftover (?) US tins a la the GITS one, so maybe there just aren't any left? They're not introducing something new to the uk after all.

And all this in 5 episodes! I hope this gets licensed over here and with the whole thing on one disc too. Ah to dream.

If it's the US ones then it's odd they didn't release the tin for 1-5 with vol 5, isn't it? And if it's the second tin, where's the first? And how did they fit the remaining episodes into 3 discs? Will I ask any more questions?

I think that incident cemented why I liked it. Yuuichi was put in a difficult situation and didn't really do the right thing, hence him being a flawed character and not a goody two-shoes who will only dote on Rika, and yet you can still tell he didn't want to hurt anyone and isn't malicious...

And another request please Chris, could you look here and give us the gist of what's being said. On behalf of the board's desperate GITS fans.

I'd imagine it would be the first six, they're probably aiming at releasing another one for the last 6 or 7 DVDs. At least they should fit in the tin unlike the GITS one :roll:

A series about a boy and a girl, who meet in a hospital where they are being treated and start on the rocky road of romance. What I love about this series is that it's not so easy to pigeonhole the characters into a particular type. They all have their flaws and do seemingly stupid things at...

Thanks Chris, I wanted to know for another angle into the fansub morality issue.

I love it. I always thought of the series as something I'd like to see, that I'd 'get around to', but shortly before the movie was released I was encouraged by a friend and I think I saw the whole thing over the course of a week, extras included. I've imported Serenity from the US, but I'm...

I don't think we could ask for a lot more from a documentary that serves as an introduction to manga and anime. Apart from setting out to show the influence on the West anyway, it's still relevant as manga and anime gain an increasing foothold in the West and it serves to show that it's a...

Try Genshiken maybe.

I bought an obscene amount of anime. I think 13 discs this week...

Give Tokyo Godfathers a try, it's excellent and if you hunt around you should pick up a copy for less than a tenner.

Chris, how does TV work in Japan? How many terrestrial channels are there, and do you need to pay for a license or subscription for them?

HMV have started an anime sale, it's mostly older ADV and Manga titles but there are a few things I've not seen cheap elsewhere, like the new Appleseed, Puni Puni Poemy, the special edition of Spriggan and first volumes of Samurai Champloo, Full Metal Alchemist and Gantz. The individual volumes...

Just watched the fansub of the first episode, Awakening, and was quite impressed. It's a cyberpunk sci-fi offering, featuring autoraves which are the cyborgs/robots/androids in this vision of the future, and an infection, "cogito", which they catch and causes them to wreak havoc. Some sort of...
