    What manga are you reading now?

    I've just started reading Fruits Baskets for the first time - five volumes have been sitting on my shelf unread and unloved for many a month - I'd forgotten just how good the series was and have to admit I'm addicted all over again........the only drawback is I've now got to find the monies to...

    Hellsing OVA website

    After seeing that trailer all I can say is, wow! It's certainly going to be a truer more thorough adaptation of the manga, there was many a time when I could pick out a manga panel recreated onscreen -Rip smiling down the barrel of her musket springs to mind - I inclined to agree with Subedii...

    More ADV UK complete collections?

    Great news, I 'll definitely be picking up Boogiepop I've had my eye on the series for some time so this sounds perfect. A few thinpaks would also be great but I'm not sure I can stave off the craving to import Rahxephon long enough. I got myself a FMP thinpak a few months back and have to...

    Bleach

    I for one have to admit that I adore Bleach, the scathing action, deeply rooted characterisation and epic plotting all combine to create one of the most consistly impressive manga titles I've ever laid my grubby mitts on. The look of the manga as Chomo mentioned is so, so stylish, Tite Kubo...

    London fire is a major set back for the UK anime industry

    Very, very bad news, although hopefully the word 'temporarily' has some bearing and we can expect to see the industry back up on its feet within a month or two.

    Otakon News Summary

    Improvised dub! which roughly translates to 'made up as they went along' I'll bet ;). I physically cringed at the use of the words 'raunchier' and 'hipper'........*imagines a bunch of ageing Execs trying to get 'down' with the kids and jiving to 'hippity hop' in the boardroom* I can...

    UK anime & manga news from AyaCon *updated*

    The series do actually run on from eachother, and whilst knowledge of the previous series isn't essential they all follow one overarching plot so it would certainly help. The only real standalone Saiyuki title was the movie, Requiem that deviated from the main plot to deliver a seperate tale...

    UK anime & manga news from AyaCon *updated*

    Wolf's Rain and Scrapped Princess will be definite purchases for me, the possiblity of an artbox as well as the mooted UK-exclusive limited editions makes me glad I managed to resist importing both series.........now I'm really looking forward to seeing what Beez come up with. :) I have to...

    New to manga

    I'd recommend starting with one of Viz's Shonen Jump titles, they balance adventure, action, humour and drama with stunning proficiency and are amongst the most popular among casual readers and hard core fans alike. You'll probably be better off investing in a SJ manga like Bleach, Naruto or...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I received a copy of Tenjho Tenjho 'Round 2' this morning as well as a set of ultra cute 'n' cuddly Bleach 'Chimakore' Gashapon, I also dipped into my overdraft (tut tut) and treated myself to a 1/144 HG Aegis Gundam Kit, which, fingers crossed should arrive this weekend.

    British dub for Millenium Actress & more news from Manga

    Fantastic news, Manga Ent. have been (for the most part at least) the foremost anime publisher in the UK so it's good to see them spearheading initiatives like this. Many of us have bemoaned the lack of extras, Limited and Special editions in regards to UK releases so this comes as a very...

    Further Optimum Ghibli titles

    Well for a start Ian I work in a cinema and any kind of anime related theatrical release is pretty big news. For Optimimum to be pushing so hard to get features like Appleseed and a slate of possible Ghibli features released in smaller cinemas like the one I work at is amazing, it'll probably...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    My Big O: Complete Collection arrived this morning, I was expecting a mini-artbox but instead it's packaged in a space saving brick, perfect as I'm very strapped for shelf space at the moment.

    Beez plans for autumn?

    Glad to see Planetes finally dated, being a recent Goro Taniguchi convert this comes as great news, I also need to invest in Scryed when I have the necessary monies as well as SEED (I can't get enough of Hirai's striking design work). Likewise the Wolf's Rain announcement is great news but I've...
