Finally got around to reading some more Gantz today; I didn't honestly think the series could get much more sick and twisted, but Manga Ka, Hiroya Oku has outdone himself once again -- the sequence with the three way T-Rex/Mutie Tritops skirmish was just plain awesome, King Kong eat your heart...

Boxset arrived safe and sound, thanks again. :)

Manga's license expired toward the end of January and then Bandai snapped up the rights to both movies, therefore finding the DVDs outside of R1 may prove difficult. Ebay or the Amazon Marketplace would probably be your best bet for a cheap R2.

I caught the trailer for Utawarerumono yesterday, and although I have nary a clue as to what it was all about, thought it looked very promising -- some of the background artwork was particularly drool worthy.

£55 seems a tad excessive, but when you consider you're getting one of the greatest anime double handers of all time, Limited edition artwork and a pair of hefty production journals it's a lot easier to swallow, hell I'm even quite tempted myself and I already own both on VHS and DVD. ;)

Great stuff, as ashamed as I am to admit it in public I'm a huge Bleach fan and while this news isn't entirely unexpected -- Viz's parent company bankroll SJ so this "license" was pretty much a forgone conclusion anywho -- it's good to know we could be seeing Ichigo and co. sooner rather than...

This morn I decided to treat myself to a few goodies and went ahead and ordered Bleach #10 & 11, and Blame! #3, I also took advantage of the current manga sale over at UP and snagged vols 1 & 2 of, Figure 17.

This guy sounds a little out of step with the current anime/manga climate, you only have to walk into a comics store to see just how popular manga has become over the last couple of years. My local comics emporium, for example, only stocked a handful of flopped manga titles a few years ago and...

Personally, I can't see what all the fuss is about. I struggled through the first 26 eps of Naruto (not to mention a few of the GNs) and each and everyone, despite reassurances to the contrary, left me completely unmoved. The production's above average for a series of this ilk, but it's nothing...

Read the first volume of Read Or Die. I was expecting the worst after the first few pages -- the panels in the opening chapter are so cramped I gave myself a headache trying to figure out what was going on ;) -- but things begin to pick up around the fourth chapter and it soon recaptures some of...

Finished up Death Note #4 mere hours ago, and what a volume it was! In 200 or so short pages the story's been turned completely upside down, some of the changes struck me as little out of place, but I can't accuse the creators of not taking any gambles with the storyline and for the most part it...

Sorry, at what point in this thread did any one come out and say they won't be buying the series based on manga's decision to tweak the title? Personally, I couldn't give a monkey's what it's called I just pointed out the inherent cheesiness of the title, but I hope you feel vindicated after...

I'll be picking up Parasite Dolls in an attempt to round out my fledging BGC collection. If the Cromartie anime manages to capture even an ounce of the original manga's originality and ingenuity it's going to be very special indeed. I mean the cast includes a Freddy Mercury lookalike, a...

United Publications have just started hosting an anime and manga sale offering titles from as little as £3.49. I've just had a quick skim, there are a handful of decent looking titles in there, notably Berserk, Kaleido Star, Gungrave, Infinite Ryvius, Scryed, and, oh yes, Sherlock Hound. ;)...

Aside, from some distinctly dodgy looking SFX it doesn't look half bad. I've yet to see the original series - not through lack of trying, I was planning to order it today, but neither UP or Otaku had it in stock :( - so I'm not sure how this movie incarnation stacks up, but this trailer has...

I know I'm about two years too late, but I finally got around to ordering the first .hack game this morning. Finally, I'll be able to lay claim to a Grunty of my very own. ;)

Went on something of a shopping spree today and ordered myself the following goodies: Someday's Dreamers #1-3 w/artbox Rayearth Economy Boxset Blame (ONA) Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG Limited Ed. #1 Gantz #10 Tenjho Tenge #5 Gungrave #6 and on the manga front...

That may be the case, but listening to the soundtrack you can't deny there's a pronounced western influence - besides I don't think rap-rock and indie are indigenous forms of japanese music. ;)

I'm reluctant to write this series off just yet, not all Japanese/US co productions are total failures - as any one who has seen The Big O II can attest - and Samuel L. Jackson is the undisputed king of cinematic cool, his presence alone warrants a watch in my book.;) The series is also based...

I do believe it's already been released :). I'm pretty sure UP have it in stock, I'm currently trying to scrape together enough pennies for a copy myself. ;)
