Looking forward to UN-GO, myself, given the jolly decent cast of chaps behind it; I'm hoping the show'll be thoroughly excellent, like a nicely fluffed pillow. Oh--and I'll be keeping a very close eye on HUNTERxHUNTER in spite of being utterly terrified of what the final product will look--and...

Well. There it is, then. Trying to resist the temptation to make an unfairly sweeping comment on the whole series by hoping aloud that the kinda flat-ish colouring here doesn't pronounce itself too much in the show proper. I would also hope never to see that logo again! Fie!

In recent years, I have done myself the grand disservice of repeatedly imagining what an animated version of the recent HUNTERxHUNTER story arcs would look like in my ideal world. So divert your eyes--I feel some verbal vomit coming up, and there'll probably be a few spoilery bits amongst the...

Looking forward to this with all the enthusiasm of a lost child on a bouncy-castle. Also secretly hoping that the production values here surpass FUNI's dub, because I am plainly jaundiced.

Watched the credits of The Moomins and thought to myself, "Cor, blimey--that's a qu'er list o' names there, that is."

I still haven't found anything that I like quite as much as Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged, but I do have a fondness for the Gantz one and Little Kuriboh's Naruto series. I have enjoyed some various takes on Pokemon in the past, too, and I watch Hikaru no Go's abridged series whenever it shows up, but...

Way-hay, and all that. I pray that some miraculous feat of fate sees Furuhashi return as director. I genuinely believe him to be one of the best out there. I'd also probably go a wee bit silly if Asakura returns to score this adaptation, with his eclectic array of styles and tunes.

Uppa wipes a tear from his bloodshot eyes. I thought this day would never come, Outlaw Star. But here you are, at last. I'm feeling a mite lachrymal.

The Bridge Pictures dub. I still remember the rip of their movie 9 that started passing around the web before FUNimation got round to dubbing it. And I still fondly recall the encoder's message during the opening sequence: "This dub is so terrible that, I, the encoder, am too ashamed to put my...

Nobuyuki Hiyama is still my favourite, particularly when he yells. Sounds like a maniac when he does, but it doesn't half feel cathartic. It's exhilarating.

Now...I read a dating book, once, that underscored--in frighteningly stentorian terms--that acting in a self-deprecatory manner is likely to deter others from warming to you. But I could not love myself for having read such a tome. So I slept in a very cold room festooned with gaudy paper...

I swear, if this shenanigans with One Piece and Dragonball in the UK ever gets sorted out, some brave soul needs to write a blasted book about the whole ordeal. It would make for some illuminating reading.

The one thing I'd like to see is a cast-list, chiefly for the characters I'm fond of, such as Goku, Yamcha and Tenshinhan. Though it would perhaps be unfair to cast judgement on the show with simply a cast-list in hand, it might at least give us an idea of where they're going with the show.

Thanks for the responses, guys. Truth be told, I'm a bit crestfallen that Bleach appears to become laden with filler from this point. Though I couldn't quite muster any excitement for the story, I was consistently impressed with the quality of the art and animation in its opening saga...

Ogling the artwork, Uppa returns to the task at hand! Does anyone, per chance, know when the canon material starts up again in Bleach? I've neither seen nor read any of the series beyond the Soul Society, so I'd like to plan when to resume collecting this.

It's heart-breaking to hear these things, but there's a further sentiment of melancholy in me in knowing that the man who penned the first episode of Pokemon has passed on.

I really like this. 4Kids's adaptation may be furiously irreverent, but I find it appallingly funny at times. It's a pity the manga's fairly pricey, and several of the older volumes are difficult to procure; I'd love to start collecting the series. I have to confess, as well, I'm fond of the...

HUNTERxHUNTER. Richly textured; eloquently, expressively, and intelligently written; and beautifully evocative characters. Just a bit of a pity its author seems disillusioned with the manga artist lifestyle. Loved Hikaru no Go to bits when I read it, too.

Every conceivable episode of The Slayers. You will not be disappointed.

If Leon is blessed with an extensive repertoire of sardonic one-liners and demonstrates a baffling indifference to gargantuan tentacled beasts, then this will be something very special indeed.
