But that link does have an affiliate code in. reborn's cynicism is well placed. You might not be part of the affiliate program, but the link on the article does have Anime UK News dot net's affiliate code in it. The tag part of the URL marks an affiliate in Amazon. The londexplnetw is Anime...

Thanks for linking to that article. :D I wrote that a while ago. A more up to date version can be found here.

Good luck Paul enjoy your new found freedom! I know how it can be at times. It's tricky getting the balance right running a popular website and all the demands of real life too. The time spent writing good content and managing great contributors can leave little time to do other fun things...

I still think you're over simplifying it. Japan's been strongly influenced by the west way before WWII. That's the the Meiji era is all about! If you look at prewar comics of Japan, you can see an influence from Disney before then. What you've written implies that manga wasn't modern before...

Hmmmm. I disagree with this conclusion, it's not that simple. The American occupation did have an influence in continuing the manga trend, but Japanese people wanted home grown stories, Kamishibai proved to be a popular until TV took off. Another factor is cost, manga was cheap to produce...

No, I don't post much. I lurk a bit though. That and I've been around here like forever. ^_-

Thing is it's not on Channel 4, it's on Film 4.

Erm, but it has been shown theatrically in the UK before. I know you're copying Neo's release, but Neo need to check their facts - http://www.otakunews.com/article.php?story=643 http://forums.animeuknews.net/viewtopic ... ght=totoro http://www.digital.anime.org.uk/news/20011123.html...

Don't forget that Otaku News are giving away free tickets to Howl's Moving Castle for a preview screening in Hertfordshire on Wednesday 21st September - http://www.otakunews.com/article.php?story=592

Erm, sorry to sound picky, but it's not Mamoru Oshii's Manga, it's Masamune Shirow's manga and original ideas. Mamoru Oshii did the movies.

Yes, it was going to be a unique DVD for the UK. From what they told me it sounded really good too. It's a shame, but things like this happen quite a bit with anime DVDs. Often it's because rights are held by a different company than the main feature (eg TV documentaries or interviews), or they...

I believe it's caused by over saturation of the anime and manga market. Competition is tough. But that's the way things are. All the big companies do this now and again, they've got to justify spending every last cent and it keeps them competitive. Trouble is there is more anime out there now...

Erm, the largest ever UK anime convention attendance was not at AmeCon, it still goes to Shin-nen-Kai from a few years ago.
