Pinnacle Vision are now listing release dates for the first volumes of the previously announced Beez series Yukikaze and Crest of the Stars. Both discs are due out on March 27th, and are now available to pre-order from Play.com.

Rounding off January's anime DVD line-up, four more titles were released today, completing MVM's release of Haibane Renmei and bringing us a new series in the form of Cyborg 009. Also due out are Pom Poko and Porco Rosso, the next two instalments in Optimum's Studio Ghibli Collection. <ul...

Cancelled my order for X TV part 2 (been waiting a month and a half and apparently UP don't even know if it's still in print- will order the singles from caiman or amazon US at a later date). In its place I've ordered Gunslinger Girl vol 3 and Spiral vols 2-4.

Blood+ seemed promising at first, but by the time episode 7 rolled around I was so bored I had to wonder why I'd even started watching in the first place (unsurprisingly, I didn't continue after that). It's not surprising it got licensed, but certainly a series I can live without.

Due out today are Manga's first two releases of the year- the third volume of the remastered Robotech, and the much-anticipated first volume of the second season of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. <ul class="menu"><b>23 January 2006</b> <li>Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex...

As has already been mentioned, the price (excluding Geneon's thinpaks, which are on the more expensive side) and the space-saving properties of thinpaks are all to the good, and personally I've never had a problem with the discs coming loose, if anything I've had a job getting them out. I don't...

Over the last week or two I've read volumes 1-2 of XXXHolic and also made a start on catching up with 'sister series' Tsubasa (partway through volume 3 atm). Some story points seem to fit a bit better in the Tsubasa manga than they did in the anime and so far Sakura seems less annoying, but of...

Ordered a game for the first time in about 4 months today; couldn't resist the lure of Xenosaga II for only £7.99 on play.com. All I can say is thank goodness I didn't fork out £20 in GAME the other day. :P

Quite a few things on that list I plan to check out; although I already have Burst Angel, Chrono Crusade, s-CRY-ed and WHR, that still leaves FMA and ROD TV as "must see sooner rather than later" series, and I'll no doubt get around to Fumoffu and Gantz eventually as well.

The new year has finally kicked off anime-wise with a varied selection of new releases hitting the shelves today. Included in the line-up are the opening volumes of two new series- the action-packed Burst Angel from MVM, and Full Metal Panic! spinoff Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu! from ADV...

Over the past couple of days I finally received a few things that had been taking their time in 'processing', namely Lament of the Lamb vol 2, the Texhnolyze: Man of Men OST and an FMA Colonel Mustang keychain.

If it's standard SJ you're looking for, I'd suggest taking a look at YuYu Hakusho; it's got most of the hallmarks of the genre but with one important difference- the pacing is decent and fights/story arcs don't last for a ridiculous number of episodes. Hunter X Hunter is another example of the...

I've taken to looking up the ISBN on Anime-On-Line and then using that to search/check on play.com- it's a bit more work but since the time they sent out Fushigi Yugi volume 2 when I thought I was ordering volume 1, I'm not taking any chances!

Play.com is usually the first place I look since delivery is free, but if they don't stock the title I want I'll wait until I have the money for a big order and head over to United Publications (that way postage is a bit more cost effective). I've pretty much stopped using Amazon; I refuse to...

I'm working through the first boxset pretty slowly, so I've only seen Miyu (pretty good for a monster of the week series) and Trigun (didn't impress me at all so far). Already seen BGC and Love Hina in their entirety; BGC didn't do much for me until the last couple of episodes, whilst Love Hina...

Yesterday I read Ceres, Celestial Legend vols 1-2 (will tackle 3+4 today); I saw the anime a couple of years ago but the manga is just that few shades better; nicely dark with a suitably twisted villain but not lacking in humour or romance either. I definitely need to get hold of the rest of the...

If it's UK releases you want, then anything with a reasonably definite date will be on the release schedule; there are some other titles in older news articles like this. For US stuff, check ANN or Anime on DVD; they both have lists of upcoming R1 releases.

The latest instalment in our regular overview of what’s been happening on the Anime UK News Forums. Whilst the beginning of a new month brings us the familiar monthly poll in the form of [url=http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic.php?t=3102]“Most anticipated January UK release?â€

In keeping with the ongoing Spiral theme, here's my Spiral new year wallpaper, once again courtesy of FUNimation's website. Admittedly it says "2005" in the background, but never mind...

The 'avatar master' Necromancer has provided me with a brand new Ayumu Narumi avatar...the Spiral obsession continues :)
