Same guy as Day of the Tentacle ... you know its going to be funny. I swear I have never seen a game so funny ... just wait until the Lake Monster. Out of an extremely funny game thats my favourite. Lots of J-references there too. (I won't spoil). There is something deliciously warped...

Been on an anime break for a week or so, and just wanted to try something different, so I started watching Black Lagoon - second barrage. This is really good! It is much more vicious and darker that the first series. I marathoned all the releases to date in one go. Any restraint that they had...

You are going to have to read up the wiki and in particular the forums. The game is complex enough, but its the interface combined with its unusual concepts that make it really hard to play. Alpha status, and UI improvements being second tier feature requests dont help it currently...

Its pretty hard to make a Shojo series that is that short a good series.

*Cough* probably look just like the equivalent feature in Neo.

Gargoyle (Nadia - Secret of Blue Water) - Chilling. Ruthless. Amoral. Competent. Humanity is just insects to him and his organisation. Worse he has resources and determination to really threaten the good guys. Jean, Nadia & the Nautilus crew are really threatened by this guy - none of these...

Mahou Shoujo stuff is aimed towards younger girls. Probably the big manga titles here are Card Captor Sakura and Tokyo Mew Mew. Still I prefer my Mahou Shoujo stuff animated.

The fact that its vol.6 didn't get a widespread release is a huge factor, and also the random shuffling of release dates. Even people who wanted to collect that series would eventually have gotten frustrated or imported the american releases. Beez have been trying to get double volume...

Anyone playing this? If you have ever liked Nethack or Angband you owe it to yourself to check this out. http://www.bay12games.com/dwarves/ http://dwarf.lendemaindeveille.com/index.php/Main_Page Very high quality considering it is just an alpha, and the strategic depth is staggering. The...

About the only Shoujo manga I am into at the moment is Nodame Cantabile which is excellent.

Links? Is this animated? Some of pratchetts stuff has been animated in the past. Or is it a hybrid of CG/Live Action? Hogfather was a good book. Be interesting to see a movie of it. And in the spirit of Hogswatch: HO HO HO.

Grr, the way Akagi ended was a bit annoying. Sure there is probably some big manga out there, and it was probably really difficult to do another bout without being anticlimatic, but still an abrupt way to end it. Watched some more Ouran High School Host Club instead. Halloween episode was funny.

Whats undesirable about this? Its not like there are local channels where you can get a locally available version. There are a few cases where there are locally available versions as well as import versions. The locally available versions are cheaper, but the import versions are usually more...

Getting back into Akagi. Up to about ep 21. Excellent show. Thankfully somebody started subbing 009-1, great production values, great action. I have heard that further episodes are even better. Its very unusual to see well animated hand-hand fighting in anime. Looking forward to more of this.

Its pretty good. Doesn't seem to get a huge amount of love-in, but I would say that it is very underrated. Its quite episodic, at least until the half-way point, which seems to be the primary reason in why it is dismissed so much. Production values are good, character designs are superb...

The first series I imported. After that I counted down the days to the bandai box sets. Maybe Bandai's catalog is a bit on the big side - they got too much good stuff to release, and Banner 1 & 2 are losing out. I always got the impression that Crest of the Stars did very well here, despite it...

Actually a very strong showing there for ADV. Strong showing in the quality & crowdpleasing stakes with Chevalier, Coyote Ragtime and Guyver. I wouldn't rule out Paniponi Dash or Sgt Frog either. PPD raised quite a few chuckles when it was out, and Sgt Frog is just a gigantic unknown. It...

Passed on this. I am waiting for a group to settle down on it. Ah. On my hunt list. I think he is great too. I thought the April season was very solid - it was huge, and it introduced many great shows only by broad scattergun effect. The summer season had a filler-ish quality to it (as...

Me too. They use other tracks from the album over the course of the series too.

Been watching a bunch of stuff recently. I am up to Red Garden - ep3 which is very interesting indeed. Unusual in many ways (like the singing) but it has caught my attention. I am getting hooked into Kanon now at episode 6 (up to date at time of writing). For anyone on the fence about this...
