    Things you've seen in anime that you wish were real...

    You have a good point there. When it comes to mechs the first choice has to be the mobile suits from the Gundam series (second choice would be some of the Zoids)

    Things you've seen in anime that you wish were real...

    The typical Japanese male middle/high school uniform, with the gakuran, would have been preferable, even if it is a touch military for my tastes, to my bland old grammar school uniform, and the sailor suit style (as in Card Captors Sakura) for the junior school. Colonies in space at the...

    What film or story would you like to see as an anime?

    When I first noticed this thread nothing came to mind then yesterday I reminded of a book I bought my mother some years ago which she still hasn''t read and it occured to me that it might work made into an anime, or manga presentation: Cervantes: Don Quixote That opened the floodgates...

    Licence wish list

    Is this supposed to be a wish-list specifically for Beez to licence, or anime to be licenced to reach these shores in general? (There are plenty of anime series which have crossed the Pacific but show no sign of legitimately crossing the Atlantic.)

    Things you've seen in anime that you wish were real...

    Being able to fly is the first thing that comes to my mind but not with wings but DBZ style using buku jutsu with chi energy.

    What manga are you reading now?

    A longish train journey yesterday gave me the chance to finish Naruto volume 7 and then go on to volume 8. It remains to be seen if this is the start a complete Naruto catch-up.

    Most irritating commercial.

    There is no shortage of candidates. Daft, and obviously a suitable case for treatment but scores rather low on my irritation scale. That is one that doesn't bother me to much. It is, at least, at little different from the usual hagiographies in chrome that advertise cars. BARRY SCOTT...

    Trustworthy import websites for anime & manga.

    I've just started to use The Book Depository and I've found the same thing although so far I've not found the delivery times noticeably any longer than Play.com but in both cases the delivery is free. My main complaint with The Book Depository is that, unlike every other company where I ordered...

    So, are you a Subber? or a Dubber?

    I never thought of it like that. It made me remember a film I saw on C4 several years ago which had worst of all worlds. It was called 'Ludwig' (the mad King of Bavaria who was Wagner's patron) it made in German, dubbed into Italian, with English subtitles against a black background which took...

    So, are you a Subber? or a Dubber?

    (Welcome return of this perennial old chestnut) I'm quite happy with either and prefer to have the choice between dub and subs available (something which has become possible with DVDs). However, if I were forced to choose between one or the other it would have to be dub. It is easier...
