Noir would be a dream. Takes me back to the heady days of the mid-00s and importing most of my anime on R1 and there just being so much coming out every month.
Shark Skin Man & Peach Hip Girl - about as madcap as I was expecting. Has that 90s vibe and felt like a mix between an early 90s Beat Takeshi and late 90s/early 00s Takashi Miike film. A bit of earlier Tarantino too. A solid 9/10 for me.
Much appreciated updates, as always. That Angel Guts boxset sounds great and as someone who loved the novel, I'll definitely be getting The Box Man on BD.
Great to hear that the two Zebraman films are coming earlier too - makes Switch 2 month a bit cheaper.
Some great pick ups there, got all of those myself aside from Center Stage.
Just noticed your signature and mentioning your blog is The Nomadic Vault. Your upcoming Asian cinema releases bit is really useful, always keeps me right as to what's coming out in the coming months.
I'm slowly working my way through the first volume of the Initial D omnibus and I'm remembering why I fell in love with this series, what, 20 years ago?
Hoping to finish off the first 4 volumes before number 5 comes out in a couple of weeks.
I've watched the first 9 episodes so far and honestly I can't believe how OTT and gory this is. Not complaining, just really feels like a throwback to the OVAs of the 80s and 90s.
Didn't watch it when it was first airing for whatever reason, but I loved the OVA and first TV series for how...
First I owned? Well Space Invaders on the 2600 was the first I played back in...88 I think. But that was technically my parents console I suppose. It might have been the Duck Hunt/Mario Bros cartridge that came with the NES. Memory is hazy but I'd imagine me and my brother got that for Christmas...
Just finished watching Scent of a Spell which I thought was absolutely fantastic. Bought it along with Bumpkin Soup and Mermaid Legend as they came out recently and am really looking forward to watching those as well.
I think I already know the answer but I'm assuming it's worth getting round...
Apologies if this has already been talked about, but do we know when Baki season 1 preorders are likely to be posted? Had to double check the release date which was the 10th - had it preordered for a few weeks but no movement as yet.
Very late to this, but my favourites from last year (in no real order, aside from MF Ghost being number 1) would be:
MF Ghost
Synduality Noir
Wind Breaker
Tonbo!
Go! Go! Loser Ranger!
The Fable
Viral Hit
Blue Miburo
Kaiju No. 8
Grendizer U
Uzumaki
God.app
Trillion Game
Dandadan
Orb
Demon Lord 2099
Just finished off watching the A Certain Killer/A Killer's Key BD from Arrow. Really enjoyed both films, and the 30 min introduction on the disc was very nice too. Highly recommended for any fans of assassin films, especially those with a 60's vibe.
