Yes, I am late to the party for this, but my reaction to this announcement:

My orders and pre-orders over the past week or so: Elfen Lied Complete Collection (blu-ray) Queen's Blade 3: Rebellion (blu-ray) Class Reunion 1+2 Class Reunion Again Digimon Tamers Also the following manga: Toradora! volume 3 Knock Me Up

Amazon.com's page for Black Lagoon: Roberta's Blood Trail lists Maryke Hendrikse and Brad Swaile as two of the voice actors. Which means the English dub is set to be a stellar one.

I last saw this 15 years ago, and what really stood out for me was the hero. He gave the impression of being neither the best nor the worst in his class. Instead of being superpowered, he was competent and well-prepared.

If nothing else, it had the best outtakes this side of Berserk. Ushio imitating Elvis was classic.

Kurau Phantom Memories This being a Bones production, I went in with some expectations. I was expecting well-developed, if slightly off-kilter characters, which it delivered. I was also expecting a complex story told with as few cues as possible. For better or worse, it delivered on that front...

You know, I was kinda hoping that Top Gear USA would be terrible. I mean, how dare they try to Americanise Top Gear!? Yet here I am, three seasons in and willing to confess that I like this show more than the UK original. It's all to do with the presenters whose interactions seem less scripted...

All good and well, but would you take a bullet for her?

Sword of the Stranger (Rewatch) I have a friend who's an action aficionado and who thinks that the Street Fighter 2 movie is the single best anime title ever. And I've never forgotten his reason for it being that way. He said that the movie featured great action with just the right amount of...

Madam, my I suggest you seek some medical attention as it seems you are sneezing out of the wrong orifice.

If it has to be Funimation, then there are only two possibilities for Batou: Christopher R. Sabat or Jason Douglas. But I agree that the best course of action would be to outsource the dubbing to Bang! Zoom! for the original voices.

I also had to submit myself to a 24hr portable (in the loosest possible sense...) blood pressure testing device that would measure my blood pressure at regular intervals. But for all the inconvenience it did help my doctor in prescribing a proper course of medication for me, so now my high blood...

So that I guess that means a March 2014 release then.

Mardock Scramle: The Second Combustion I tend to see the middle part of a trilogy as as the most limited in terms of what it can do. It has to advance the plot and characters established in the first part, but not too much otherwise there'll be nothing left for the concluding chapter. So it is...

CSI: NY has been on autopilot since season 6, which isn't really a concern for me because by the time I get to watching it, I myself am on autopilot. Even so, I'm getting the impression that the writers really wanted to end the show two seasons ago. I'm also still playing catch-up with Law and...

I stopped by my favourite second-hand dvd store over the weekend and found Sukisho: The Complete Collection on sale. As I bought it, was was saddened by the current situation of Media Blasters. I mean, I could always count on them for some weird, out-there title just to break the monotony of the...

Look at it this way. From the beginning Otonashi empathises with Tachibana instead of buying into the group's assertion that she is evil. Over the course of the series this develops into respect for her. Later on we see that he does enjoy her company very much and does his best for his group to...

I have a fairly sizable collection of FLAC's, which I play from a specially designated memory stick through my new Oppo BDP-103 blu-ray player. My favourites include: Maaya Sakamoto - Mameshiba (Earth Maiden Arjuna) Mami Kawada - Koubou (Shakugan No Shana F) KOTOKO - Second Flight (Please...

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Hell no!!...was what I said when I saw how much Aniplex was making the US retailers charge for the blu-ray release of this title. $70, MRSP? For each of three discs containing four episodes? You’re joking right? You can get at least one entire series on blu-ray for...
