I thought I'd have some fun with the actor credits. I could have gone with the obvious choices since all three actors have done big things, but that's too easy. Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever sounds like a cracking film! ;)

To be honest, I'm really interested in seeing what they come up with. Despite its rather cliche premise now, when Death Note first appeared it was a genuinely exciting and refreshing new story. My only worry is that because not much is known about Bakuman, it might end up being just some...

Ah, sorry, I hadn't seen this topic, been really busy jumping from one day to the next (a measly 8-10 news stories to write this afternoon for AUKN!). Anyway, as the review is well written, consider it done; I'll be in touch with you at some point today or tomorrow, Sy.

Very interesting, especially good news that the TTGL license has been sorted out. Also, it's kind of a shame that there's no Revelation representation because, what with Funimation's domination stateside, it would be interesting to hear about what they've got planned for the future.

Accoridng to an <a href="http://hmv.com/hmvweb/displayProductDetails.do?ctx=280;-1;-1;-1&sku=845834">early listing on the HMV.com website</a>, UK anime publisher's MVM have snapped up J.C.Staff's <em><strong>Daphne In The Brilliant Blue</strong></em> and will be releasing the first DVD volume on...

In addition to Gurren Lagann and Dennou Coil, I'd recommend both Baccano! and Toward the Terra as excellent series. More than worth looking up The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Tekkonkinkreet if your not opposed to movies as well. Finally, Studio Bones are absolutely owning 2008. Aside from...

I've seen two of his films, other than The Girl Who.... Digimon Movie 1 and One Piece Movie 6. Now, before you roll your eyes, consider that these movies are actually wonderful as stand-alone stories. I can confirm that because I've never seen any of Digimon before or since, but I absolutely...

Generally, chaos, yes. There's a few exceptions (I'm thinking of Shinichiro Wantanabe here), but most come up through the ranks of animation studios before getting the chance to direct something. There's a lot of emphasis on this at Ghibli, as obviously, Miyazaki draws a lot of his own movies...

RRP for Noir and RahXephon boxsets is £59.99, so it'll probably be around that mark.
