    How much anime do you own on DVD?

    This is my list of anime here Everything on that list except for two Kino no Tabi OVA's (watched on You Tube) and the Guyver OVA (a bootleg bought before I knew better & before I properly got into anime) is owned by me as either a R1 or R2 official release - even the 'Plan to Watch' ones. And...

    Otaku

    I think it's perfectly OK to use the term over here. I take it's meaning in the west to be similar to 'nerd' but less offensive and specifically in the context of anime and manga and any closely related fields such as Cosplay and modeling (ie Gunpla). Once a word is adopted into another...

    Cel (Hand Painted) or Digital Animation?

    Cell animation is just like music on vinyl, despite it's imperfections it's just all warm and cozy like. I also feel that cell animation has more credence as an art form.

    Serial Experiments Lain

    I bought the whole series quite recently but I’m struggling to make much headway with it. It’s certainly not that I don’t like it but just that I’ve only ever had chance to watch it late at night. Although in some respects that is probably the best time to watch Lain (in terms of...

    Gurren Lagan characters

    I’ve just been searching the net for evidence of this conclusive proof that women don’t have ideas. I can’t find any. But I can’t wait to hear Ark’s explanation! :lol: I’m guessing that it’ll perhaps be something to do with the portrayal of females in anime or something. But if...

    Vandread (Series 1 and 2)

    Vandread may not be the crème de la crème of anime and in some respects it is pretty naff but ultimately it is fun and has plenty of nice moments. So it’s not made of fail. One thing I would say for sure about Vandread is that it is not a mecha series. I can understand making comparisons to...

    Vandread (Series 1 and 2)

    That's a great purchase at a bargain price. I recently bought an m-lock box set of the series and paid more than you have. It isn't likely to be featured in anyones 'essential anime list' but it is a lot of fun. The only thing that I didn't like was the slightly irritating and obtrusive...

    Shana UK Release

    Hell yeah, have you seen the prices of the R1 Shana discs?! I've got the first two volumes and was intending to get the rest, but after Geneon went bump the discs shot up to incredible prices - upto £70!! SEE!! I just hope MVM keep the same episode count on the first two discs at least.

    Ledford blames fansubs for closing down ADV UK's operations

    It’s an emotional time when you lose your job and you will seek to lay blame somewhere; it’s only natural. A lot of users on here probably haven’t had a job yet and thus cannot empathise with these guys. But the situation that has occurred at ADV UK certainly is a complicated one when...

    If you were forced to own only ONE anime series on DVD...

    I’m following Duskin and going for Azumanga Daioh and largely for the same reason. I can think of better series and ones that I’ve enjoyed more, but as good as they are I don’t think they’d be anywhere near as re-watchable.

    Photo's from Japan

    Don't recall seiing any manba, even at Shibuya. But Shibuya was overflowing with ko-gyaru. And a very unfriendly looking bunch they appear too. I'll keep an eye out for some manba in May.

    Are you a Geek?

    I got the same answer as Trashbat. When I changed one of my three yes's (lightsabers are cool - well they are aren't they?) to no, I was "Lacking in the Geek gene: You’re not a geek at all, in fact I'm not sure why you’re doing this test." I think anyone who has more than half a dozen...

    Lupin III : Green VS Red

    I bought the 1st Haul box set from Funi (and it is great value) but I lwas a little bit disapointed. Admittedly I did have quite high expectations after reading some of your early LupinIII articles. But from what you've just written I obviously picked up the wrong set. All bar one of the...

    Characters that deserved more

    I think that there was a thread like this a long while back but I thought I’d do it again. You see I’ve just watched the Slayers movies, which were great, but I then found out that Naga the White Serpent doesn’t appear in any of the three TV series. I’m so disappointed that I’m not...

    Big ADV UK sale for one week; now - anime DVDs going for £1

    I got my second stash of DVD’s yesterday. Very pleased but I’m seriously running out of room for them all. @ Aion. I guess this is some example of Sods law or tempting fate or perhaps just good old irony. :P We must be due some more collection photographs soon. I expect they’ll all...

    FUNimation to acquire some Geneon titles?

    Just noticed this quite interesting bit of news. Sounds promising. Also interesting to note that Navarre's CEO blames ADV and Geneon's Japanese investment for the high cost of anime. Sorry if this has been referenced elsewhere already. I wonder what titles they'll want go for?

    xxxHolic

    Noticed that this is soon due for release on DVD and as the artwork I’ve seen looks stunning I’m keen to collect it. And Yūko Ichihara sounds like a potentially superb character. But I reckon there must be a few on here who’ve already seen it so what do you think? Plus I’ve seen it...
