Yeah i can't see Discotek doing a remaster of a long series like Harlock but hopefully a Japanese release will emerge and they can use that. Original Yamato and The Cockpit are fantastic. Would be great to see those in HD.

HWR: I got the Batman Beyond set a while back. Hope you enjoy it. I think it's a solid series and a really good accompanying piece/bookend to Batman The Animated series to boot. It felt like quite an ambitious show much like Batman TAS was in the 90's. I know what you mean about the Funko pop, I...

The Doraemon episode was absolutely brilliant! Those Toyota commercials with Jean Reno are an amazing find Prof. Hadn't heard about these before.

Finished re-watching Samurai 7 the other day. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really great characters who show a lot of development and growth, cool setting and and a truly reprehensible villain who you just can't wait to see get his just desserts. It has one of those finales where you've grown very...

Samurai 7 Episodes 6 - 17 Still really enjoying my rewatch of this. Fell off with watching it a little this past week due to some pretty crappy events happening in my life lately but it is a very solid show. The evolution of the characters throughout is really good and its paced really well...

I have no idea what "White line doom" is either. Some kind of packaging/printing defect?

Samurai 7 Episodes 1-5 Orgun pointed out this was on Netflix and I was in the mood to revisit it. I remember quite liking it at the time but it might even be better than I gave it credit for. I love Kurosawa's original film and though this is a totally different beast in many ways it does...

I think the deal's good (particularly since you get multiple versions of the movies and commentaries and a huge wedge of special features plus the entire Dark Horse comic mini-series and a book of reproduced articles), However I can see what Aaron means, it's probably not for someone who likes...

Going to have to get round to posting some pics of mine at some point but it'll be a lot of work. Although I have most of it in one room there are little bits strewn all over the house! :)

Finally! Gamera is here! Didn't pay much attention to the size in people's pics. This thing is almost as big as Gamera himself! :) I was half expecting the Dark Horse comics and the booklet to be little mini-replicas but getting a full size hardback comic collection and essay/articles book was a...

Ah so many people have the Gamera collection already! Why must I suffer so? Mine is taking its sweet time :(

Hi everyone. Haven't been keeping up with the blog as well as I'd like but here's a post that might hopefully be of interest to some of you (Particularly the older users here). As the title suggests it's about my reflections on being a 40 year old anime fan! If anyone has anything to say about...

CosmIc Devil Daikengo 11 - 26 (End) Gungrave 9 - 26 (End) Hoping to record in a few weeks for Daikengo on Retro Mecha Podcast so anyone who cares to hear our views on that can listen when the ep is out :) Gungrave is still a lot of fun after all these years and the characters are great. The...

Primark are doing Gundam tees? I'd heard about Dragonball and One Punch Man (never thought I'd see one punch man mentioned on a regional news report but I did last year. There was a woman complaining about Primark selling them because her son died from injuries resulting from a single punch and...

Any kaiju fans get their Gamera limited edition Blu ray boxsets from Arrow yet? Looks like the release date was supposed to be Aug 17 however I've heard some people have been getting theirs early.

Glad I'm not the only one clamouring for those on Blu Ray. Cool. Let's hope a certain someone who browses the forums sees the hunger for em, :)

I tend to recognise actors who played memorable characters but honestly I never actually realised that was Gendo's VA until you said. Having said that it's been a long time since I watched Eva. Interesting! Thanks for pointing that out. As for your question....that's pretty funny. :DHonestly I...

It's been a bit of a weird time since I last posted so I haven't gotten through much but I'm still watching Cosmic Devil Daikengo (Episodes 5-10) and I've also watched some more Gungrave (Episodes 4-8). Won't say much about Daikengo since it's for Retro Mecha Podcast. As for Gungrave I'm still...

Really good episode this one. Some really good points raised and even though I'd spoken to you about your Japan visit directly and you'd told me how you felt upon visiting Hiroshima it was still interesting to hear about how you and Lewis's experience there tied in with how The cockpit captured...

Last week I started to watch Cosmic Devil Daikengo (1978) along with Orgun for the next episode of Retro Mecha Podcast. I've watched the first 4 episodes. Also started a rewatch of Yashuhiro Nightow's Gungrave (2002) Episodes 1-3. I'm enjoying it a lot. If I remember rightly some people hated...
