I hold my hands up, I was panicking! Great news indeed, although I’m a little surprised that news of ADV UK/Europe’s future has broken before news of the situation in the US. I assumed that if the US situation couldn’t be resolved, that ADV in Europe would be finished anyway. But again...

As I had said in the other thread on this subject, this is good news and it hints that ADV has not yet kicked the bucket. But while there may be interest and (some) excitement about future Blu-ray releases I find it slightly infuriating that the talk is now of ADV and a HD future while I and...

This seems like a very brave(?) decision to make given the current climate. I personally wouldn’t make a decision on whether to go BLu or HD at this time and I don’t have an already precarious business to lose. Plus high definition doesn’t excite me that much anyway. The improvement in...

I bought this at last (the R2 release - very cheap @ Amazon) and although I've only watched 5 episodes so far I'd say it's certainly not £17 wasted. In fact it's very very good so far. However, the extras have so far provided the highlight for me. There is a 'lecture' by a Tokyo...

Espy, I bet you're sorry you asked!! :lol:

So basically it’s ‘all gone wrong’ and the fat lady is drawing in her breath for the final song. I honestly cannot see any possibility of a happy ending here. This is a terrible loss to the industry and although ADV aren’t necessarily everyone’s favourite, I’ve always seen them as...

Andrew, I know this isn't particularly relevant in this Beez thread but the problems of Geneon & ADV, could they partly be attributed to the saturation of the market? It has been great having so many titles to choose from but given that this is a niche market, have they just spread themselves...

Yes it is! Thanks Chaz. I might have to check it out as despite the dodgy DVD cover it actually sounds well worth watching after reading the ANN review.

The review was for a DVD so it's not that new but I would guess it wasn't a real oldie either. Got a feeling I read the review on ANN by continually clicking the 'random fun' review link as I often do when bored at work, so it could well be a R1 only release. It's doing my head in trying to find it.

The plot is something to do with an alien cat-girl type thing coming to earth with the intention of becoming an actress (I think). I think she arrives with two friends(?) and ends up working in a shop. It’s seemingly made up of about 60 short episodes. I remember reading a review that said...

I don’t mean insults in anime ie ‘baka’, but the insults flung at anime. A work colleague has just told me that he recorded a Japanese animated film that was on BBC4 at the weekend. He said it got five stars and is highly rated. I asked him what it was (knowing full well already –...

Princess Nine dvd's vols 1-6. Except I've ordered them from an Amazon marketplace trader with only 82% positive feedback. So fingers crossed!

Cheers. I got Mazinkaiser from play. Found an RS5 for £3.50 from an Amazon marketplace seller.

True and I do understand that really. Hell, I ‘buy’ all my anime, so I can always say I’ve done my bit. I’m just hacked off over now having a box and 2 volumes of Welcome to the NHK sat there with (gut feeling) little chance of ever filling the thing. So that’s the best part of £35...

Fair point. And I don't suppose morale is great there either.

And stop buying anime in anything other than complete collection form. I'm starting to get quite a collection of unfinishable titles.

I bought; New Fist of the North Star 1-3 Gravion 2-3 (Never thought I’d finish collecting that!) Mazinkaiser 1 Mahoromatic 1-3 Zaion 1-2 New Cutey Honey 12 Rune Soldier 1-4,6 Slayers Box Not a bad haul for £30.96. But the real trick has been getting Mazinkaiser 2 and Rune Soldier...

A none fanciful and serious anime I’d suggest is Texhnolyze. Only watched about half of it myself but it’s definitely serious. And Witch Hunter Robin, possibly? Oh and RL?

After reading some rather mixed reviews I've taken a flyer and bought all eight volumes of Gasaraki. ps. Thanks IKnight.

Despite HMV’s commitment to stocking good amounts of anime, their pricing is pretty much prohibitively expensive. I guess that they are completely separate companies but it’s a shame that they can’t offset their high street prices against their on-line sales. I take on-line shopping for...
