    Yep, it's legit. Odex is an official anime licensor based out of Singapore who have just re-entered the anime market after a lenghty hiatus. If you're still in any doubt, just check out this news story from ANN - that should clear up any doubt concerning the legitimacy of the release.

    Critique Anime UK News, please!

    I'm with Paul on this one. We'd much rather discuss the pros and cons of the anime themselves, than waste paragraphs on a lot of technical jargon that only a very small percentage of our readership is going to appreciate. Besides, there are plenty of other sites, such as AnimeonDVD for...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I think you're both being a bit hard on Mcicy here. I mean, it's pretty obvious he didn't knowingly go out of his way to buy a bootleg, he made a mistake, plain and simple. I unknowingly made the same mistake many years ago, and I daresay many of our other forum users have too... believe it or...

    Giant Robo

    Well, I loved every second. It can be a little OTT in places, but it's such a well written, not to mention lovingly crafted, series that you can't help getting swept up in the spectacle. Considering, you can pick the series up for just over a tenner I see no reason not to invest in a copy...

    Your Taste in >>Music<<

    Funny, that's exactly how I was going to reply to your 'Forward Russia' post. Believe it or not, there are other styles and genres of music outside of what you read about in NME or see on Popworld. There's more to music than trendy indie bands with funny hair cuts and the Top 40. Actually...

    Your Taste in >>Music<<

    I mainly listen to Technical and Brutal Death Metal, Grindcore and Doom. In terms of technicality and musicianship Tech-Death blows the competition out of the water, no other genre comes close. Bands such as Anata, Necrophagist, and Spawn of Possession have raised the bar for guitarists all...

    Gaming Arrival Thread

    How I love birthdays. Today I got an Xbox 360 with a copy of, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. It's a wee bit boring, but it's early days yet and the graphics are nice and purdy at least.

    The Amazing Screw-On Head

    For any one who's interested, and anyone who isn't for that matter ;), the first episode of Mike 'Hellboy' Mignola's 'The Amazing Screw-On Head' is available to stream at this location. I finished watching it moments ago and it was absolutely fantastic, great animation, bizzare humour and...

    New acquisitions announced at the Anime Expo

    According to ANN, ADV have also secured the North American rights for Guyver: The Bioboosted Armour TV. An ADV license for this series was always on the cards, especially since they had a hand in the series' production, but still, this little piece of news has made this humble geek's day...

    V For Vendetta

    The Island had the potential to be epic? That's new to me, any one with half an ounce of sense knows a film directed by Michael Bay is going to be about as 'epic' as an episode of Emmerdale, but that's another argument entirely... As for V For Vendetta, being a fan of the comic I had high...

    James Bond Trailer is UP! Casino Royale

    While I can appreciate the creators' decision to take Bond in a 'new direction', it's looks to me like they're simply ripping off the grittier, more 'back to basics', style popularised by the recent 'Bourne' movies. Of course it's hard to judge a film based on the trailer alone, but still, I...

    Play.com list UK release of Naruto

    Nice price, certainly less than I was expecting, just a shame it's £17.98 more than I'd be willing to spend on a Naruto DVD. :P Still, it's good news for fans of the series and an encouraging move on Manga Entertainment's part, hopefully this means we'll see more thrifty boxsets in the future.

    Is she, the ultimate weapon any good, I want it

    It is indeed, and a mighty purdy series it is too.

    Is she, the ultimate weapon any good, I want it

    Aside from a few stylistic similarities Saikano and Gunslinger Girl couldn't be more different - calling it a 'rip off' is way, way off the mark, for starters the Saikano manga predates Gunslinger Girl by a good two years. As for the quality of the series itself, well I can't recommend it...

    Hellsing Volume 8?

    Volume eight still hasn’t been released in Japan, the comics exist (enough for another two volumes in fact), but only in serialised form, we’ll have to wait until the Japanese tankoubon (graphic novel) hits shelves before Darkhorse even think about releasing it.

    American producers look to remake Battle Royale

    A couple of 'hip' producers whose speciality is churning out Z-grade chav fodder taking on one of the most uncompromising, original films of the last decade? It's going to be The O.C with air rifles, mark my words.

    A few goodies arrived over the past week or so including: Tenjho Tenge #6 New Getter Robo #1-2 Getter Robo Armageddon #2 R.O.D TV #7 Unfortunately, my New Getter Robo artbox looks like it's been trodden on, luckily the damage to the box itself isn't too bad, but still, I wish these...
