http://www.animeondvd.com/reviews2/mang ... _view=1751 AnimeOnDVD had a more positive review: With Kurogne, Kei Toume attempts to add a unique stamp on the overcrowded samurai genre. I really enjoyed how the stories were more about the people and their loneliness in the world, rather than an...

Well I watched the interesting start of Mezzo DSA, and then its progressive slide into mediocrity. They burned the budget on the first ep really. That said, I found it compelling enough to watch to completion, but I suspect that 'word of mouth' about the initial early episodes might drive...

Yeah, I am really hoping that Beez can manage those releases. AFAIK more than half of their release dates have slipped. Its pretty frustrating (I am a Planetes fan who lives nowhere near the shops reputed to be selling the last volume). And I would really consider Eureka 7 if it was on a fast...

Possibly to avoid the deluge of press that would be waiting for him to comment after the flick. Theres also the possibility that he checked it out during his lunch break. The man's work ethic is legendary.

What Necromancer said wrt Spoilers. That particular spoil was well hyped by the blog community, and I nearly avoided it. WHich is a shame. The reaction of my friend when he hit episode 14 was priceless, I would have liked to experience that particular WTF moment myself. Certainly the...

I am guessing the determining factor is whether the series form a continuous narrative. So the Seikai series would form up Crest & Banner. This does get really tricky with Gundam though, where Mobile Suit Gundam + Zeta + Double Zeta + Chars Counterattack are almost a continuous narrative...

Um, redo Wolfs Rain? I thought that Rapture were actively trying to fill those slots with different stuff. Theres no shortage of good options. I always got the impression that Rapture had a low viewership generally, and the anime block was a bit of a surprise hit for them.

Yeah, I am not a fan of the Ocean Groups work at all. They really hammed up the Crest of the Stars dub. And yes, Full Moon is a Viz title, with 4 dvds a year it will be all out by 2009. Planned Failure? Me thinks so. And Bandai haven't licensed Mai Otome yet. Its very odd for them to...

It was a succinct response to Nemphtis query. That forum has some gems of discussion, but it has a lot of filler. It sometimes feels like there are more posts than sentences (if thats possible), and its got some of the worst signature envy going around. You basically can't follow a thread of...

As I said, it wasn't a rational response. You obviously got past my point and saw the entire DVD. I couldn't even make it that far. Anime rarely invokes that kind of response in me - its ususally along the lines of somethign doesn't interest me or grab me, but its rare for something to...

I saw it, enjoyed it. Its like a back to form thing for Jet Li - going back to what launched him in the first place. This film is closer to Once upon a Time in China than anything he has done recently. I saw an interesting quote: "Its not so much a martial arts movie as a movie about martial...

Theres also the issue that most people who are familiar with it here, first encountered it on fansub, not the just-out DVDs. Gilgamesh was a show that actually really annoyed me - it just seemed really pretentious. Its not often that an anime show can induce such an irrational negative...

Paul said images in signatures were not allowed. His last post discussed some mechanisms he had discovered in later versions of the forum software to allow user control of displaying signatures and convenient admin methods to remove images. None of these functions are in place as far as I can...

Its a great show. The twist halfway through is the business too.

And the announcements still continue: Bandai announced that they are releasing the fist volume of Karakuri Kiden Hiwou Senki (Clockwork Fighters) this autumn. Its Bones first independent anime production/TV series and Bandai licensed it ages ago - we thought they were just sitting on it. I...

It arrived - didn't expect it to be so big. I just wish Infinity Studios would publish the rest of Popo Can now. Large format Shinobuden with dust jacket ... looks good.

Yeah, I thought the Manga news was the best so far. Aqua yay! And ADV state that they are still working on the ARIA manga. Double yay!

Full Metal Alchemist. I also think that Dragonball Z is still making money for them. Fruits Basket was successful enough for them to consider nagging the original producers to make a sequel (hasn't worked yet though). To license for north american release, the costs are five figure sums per...

I would hardly call BECK, FMP! The Second Raid, Rumbling Hearts/KGNE, Spirit of the Past, Tsubasa, Negima, xxxHolic or Tsukuyomi ~Moon Phase~ weak licenses. Whatever you think of the Gonzo worship: Solty Rei, Glass Fleet, Black Cat or Witchblade, it doesn't rule out the fact that they are...
