Good news indeed. Yotsuba& is one of my favourite little titles that doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves. Maybe now interest will pick up again.

Hmm. A strong, determined, tree-hugging princess with a pet squirrel, or a schizophrenic, indecisive little hottie that's always needing to be rescued? Difficult.

Wow, Nokia make TVs now? That's nuts... Here's a quick test. Try to boot a PS2 game in 60Hz mode - most games should have the option to upon boot. If no picture appears, or it flickers horrendously, then sorry, but the TV doesn't support NTSC. If it appears but is black and white though, it...

If you can stomach old animation and cheesey 80's voices and dialogue, then by all means give it a shot. Bear in mind though, that while the Macross Saga is a pretty complete story in it's own right, for the full and complete Robotech story, you'll have to get the other series too - The Masters...

Sorry, couldn't resist :P I'd have to second the mentions of Now and Then, Here and There and Planetes, and throw in my own mentions of Witch Hunter Robin, Bartender, Hajime no Ippo, both Gunsmith Cats and Riding Bean, and Spriggan.

Guts. By a country mile.

I'm a bit disappointed, to be honest - I was really hoping for a whole new city, instead of just polishing up an old one. I'd love to see a European or Japanese city covered, but they'll never do it because of the language barrier - do you keep it authentic and alienate the casual gamers, or...

Phoenix Wrongs. Metal Gear Awesome. Final Fantasy A+. Not animated, but VG Cats and 8 Bit Theatre deserve a mention for being tow of the funniest webcomics ever. And Something Awful usually has something game related that raises a smile. Enjoy :)

What, no Labors from Patlabor? No Valkyries from Macross? No Getter Robo, Mazinger Z, Gaogaigar, Gunbuster, Ideon, Giant Robo or Big O? No Optimus Prime? Still, I'm gonna go with the Arbalest, as the Unit-01 doesn't count (Eva's aren't mechs) and Strike Freedom represents everything I...

Osaka. No question.

I'd suggest Azumanga Daioh. It's pretty whimsical and easygoing throughout, with a lighthearted look at school life. Plus it's really funny and has some of the most likeable characters you'll ever meet.

Few people can carry around a massive cross and look cool doing it. Fewer people still have a middle name you can't even pronounce. :)

Shiny... so shiny... Yep, as Dani said, it's a RX-78- ver. Ka - that is, the original Gundam redesigned by veteran artist Hajime Katoki. You can get a normal Gundam Fix Figuration version of it for about £15-20 online, which is basically a small but detailed action figure that comes with a...

Streets of Rage. Randomly stuck it on, found myself unable to stop. Forgot how much I loved that game.

The pricing isn't actually that bad, when you consider that your average anime volume carries four episodes and has an RRP of £15-20. But at the same time, I do think it might have made more sense to have some sort of introductory offer going, ie offer the first few episodes for a bit cheaper...

I think this sums this battle up quite nicely :) Tough, tough choice, but I'm gonna have to side with Mr Spiegel this time.

Heh, that vid does pretty much sum up the PS3 at the moment. I'm unconvinced of those figures. For one, it's an estimate figure, and it doesn't mention whether that's 165000 PS3s includes pre-orders that have been collected or otherwise. I know there's a lot of people out there that...

All you really need are the codecs, then you should be able to view them from most players. Do a search for the Combined Community Codec Pack, it's got stuff to play both .ogms and .mkvs in one package, as well as a load of other stuff. In regards to players, I use either Windows Media Player or...

Saw it earlier to day - thoroughly entertaining stuff. It's not particuarly deep or thought provoking, but is a very enjoyable spectacle. As long as that's what you go in expecting, you won't be disappointed.

Anything Macross (especially Plus and Do You Remember Love) and Patlabor come highly recommended - both have giant robots, but they're not the main focus. Otherwise try Big O, Trigun, the Appleseeds, the Bubblegums, the Full Metal Panics, Tank Police, Metropolis, Wings of Honeamise... there's a...
