Can anyone clear up the situation with the Manga Ent. Otogi Zoshi DVD's? I really want to see this but I remember reading on here that the subtitles become dub-titles at some point. So if this is the case, is it worth importing it from the US instead? Or is that dub-tittled too? And is it...

Another good point! Why don't the Japanese do English subs & dubs on their DVD's and then we could import from Japan!!

That is another fine point. The UK market is so cold on the heels of everyone else that the benefit of riding the wave of interest is always lost. And as for the Haruhi in the US, well that was finished being released a while ago. Rather expensive but at least it was an option. I thought...

I remember you too. And maybe it's not been so long because only a few days ago I was posting some questions a forum type thing on JapanGuide.com about weather, destinations and volleyball etc and I noticed a post asking about Gackt touring the UK. And I thought to myself 'I'm sure that's...

You did slightly better than me. I managed DVD 2 before being distracted by other things. Shame really.

The biggest beef I have with the UK market is with the incredibly long periods they spread a series’ volumes over. I could happily wait a month or even two after a US release if I knew the UK market could match the US markets ‘a volume a month’ release schedule. But with schedules like the...

That awesome 5 minute alley fight was recreated in an episode of South Park. It’s done as a fight between Timmy and Jimmy – hence the episode title ‘Cripple Fight’. Not quite as good as the real thing but pretty funny. Maybe my favourite thing about They Live is the film score...

If you watch anime with subtitles you are still allowed to watch it with the sound on! Despite not being able to understand Japanese I can manage to detect stresses and infections from the speaker. Plus with one of the main characteristics of anime being the large amount of expression drawn...

I echo everything Ushio has said. I’d love to see the Out of Control ova.

For what it’s worth I just thought I’d offer a couple of bits of advice and opinion from my experience. You can definitely do Japan for less than two grand. But I guess that you’d struggle to manage it for much less than £1200. I paid about 2 grand in total (inc. spends) but I could...

I’ve been considering getting the recent Manga Ent release of Bleach – series 1 part 1 (£17 – quite a bargain – nicht?). But I am a bit worried about the subbing. I hear that Manga Ent ‘dubbtitled’ similar releases, ie Naruto and they did it quite badly too. So can anyone tell me if...

OK I’ll pick out a few pictures and put a few words together a bit later. Just a quickie for now though, as you’ve mentioned the language issue, there really isn’t one at all. All I’d say is make sure you have your hello’s, goodbye’s, please’s, and thankyou’s sorted - purely...

I’ve just got back after a twelve day trip to Japan and it was without any shadow of a doubt the best twelve days of my life. It’s almost impossible for me to put into spoken words, let alone written ones, just how incredible a place it is. If you have any interest at all in going...

Samurai Sushi Kamikaze Geisha I'll be there on Friday. Excited!!

Is there a particular point to this animation? A toy range or something? EVA seems to be going a bit nuts at the moment.

A very good interview and what a pleasant voice Nargis has. Don’t think I’d make a good interviewer with my dulcet tones.

Lupin III - Movie Collection First Haul

Yes quite surprising but it's also notable that all twenty are 'series'. I can't really explain why but I always see movies as a different catergory to series. Also I don't know about anyone else but I reckon that if I had created my list the previous or next day (or even hour!) that it would...

I bought ¥137,000. Sure sounds like a lotta money!

Bebop has certainly stood the test of time very well in my opinion and I think that slightly older anime look better anyway. A lot of the newer stuff often looks too clean and clinical to me. One of my favourite aspects of Bebop is the stand alone episodes. That’s what makes it one of the...
