To be fair, Patlabor without the giant robots wouldn't be Patlabor (they're in the title, even) so there must be something about them that appeals to me. I think it's more that I don't enjoy the fighting focussed ones (I don't think that's specific to mecha either) and even the ones that have...

If only I'd thought of it myself. It's... a reference to Monty Python, specifically The Meaning of Life

That image is the only thing I've seen for Izetta but I think I want to watch it already. I bet it has giant robots in it.

I dunno, some of the cosplay/posing that I've seen is pretty neat. I'd imagine there's more to the show than that but it has to be a good start.

It'll all be worth it when you're sailing the wide accountancy.

Those are all fair points. I wouldn't consider a lack of subtitles for the OP/ED to be a major issue but it's a nice feature to have if it's practical to do so. I probably care more than many because I routinely watch the OP/ED for every episode of every show, so it does add something to a...

Ah, Oppai Missiles. Where would anime be without them? I'm not really sure that giant robot shows are for me. I think I enjoyed Patlabor so much because it was more about the people inside/around the giant robots. I suppose many of these shows have a similar aspect but I'm never sure if the...

I think the larger issue is that many of these politicians still seem to be trying to act based on what they think people want, in a way that seems like they're actually dictating what people want rather than really listening. One thing the referendum showed is that far too many politicians...

I have to admit, I find it a little disappointing when a release lacks subtitles for the OP/ED of a show. Samurai Flamenco has the same issue, I'm wondering if the authoring would have been done by the same people (though I don't recall having any issues with the font but then I'm pretty...

I think it's also a case where fans talk about things in a certain way that wouldn't be interpreted the same by those outside of their group (and even within their group, at times). "Cute" can refer to physical attractiveness but it can also refer to different types of behaviour or personality...

I suppose DVD buyers are more likely to be looking for a cheaper option and so they may be more inclined to import if it's available and still works out cheaper with the additional costs (I suppose that'd be more likely at the moment). I'm not entirely convinced it'd actually be worth it but I...

Representatives are supposed to act in the best interests of their client (not sure that's quite the right word). That doesn't always mean doing what they want or what they say. Sometimes doing what's best for someone is also going to upset them (I'd imagine you could get confirmation of that...

I think I can see where Buzz201 is coming from, It feels like there are more and more comments these days making assumptions about any show with an all female cast and the reasons that people watch those shows. Still, I would say that those kinds of ideas do seem to be primarily limited to...

I think I'd like to pick up Outlaw Star on Blu-ray but I'd probably be more inclined to get a bare-bones release. It's an interesting show but it's a bit mixed, there are some pretty great episodes but it's far from consistent and the storytelling is a little disappointing at times. Saying...

Sweetness and Lightning / Amaama to Inazuma Episodes 11-12. These last two episodes were quite a good way to end the show, the final meal being something of a highlight. I did also appreciate that they spent a bit of time on the characters and had some little stories about dealing with people...

Episode 11 I have to admit, I'm overall quite impressed with how the final episode turned out. It does manage to wrap things up in a fairly satisfying way, with time to offer an effective epilogue for most of the characters. It even found time to fit in a bit of development for Kazama's...

I'd like to see the evidence that things would be better for standard editions (and the UK anime market in general) if Anime Limited didn't exist. MVM seem to be chugging along much the same as ever and Manga/Animatsu seem to mostly be doing their own thing. It seems more likely to me that, if...

I very much enjoyed The Eccentric Family/Uchouten Kazoku, I can't say I expected a second season but I'd be up for it (hopefully it'd be at least as good as the original). It's kind of an odd show but I liked the examination of a fairly non-standard culture and I particularly liked the...

Related to this, there have been comments that suggest that Anime Limited do intend to (at some point) have a "brand" under which they can release standard editions of shows that a Collector's Edition release might be less practical for. I'm pretty sure they've been making such comments for the...

Episode 10 It seems that Kazama's story and Smile's story are kind of similar in a way, Kazama was trying to find the fun in the sport that he had when he started but lost along the way. You could mostly blame his grandfather for pushing the idea of victory being essential and burdening Kazama...
