    Thinking of rewatching Baccano!

    Likewise; I'd had a disappointing run in my recent purchases, but I picked up Baccano cheap on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. I can see it being a definite longterm fave. I'd probably be rewatching it right now if I hadn't lent it to a mate...

    Thinking of rewatching Baccano!

    I found the first episode pretty frustrating but the narrative jumps were ultimately what pulled me in and made me love it in the end. True, it challenges the viewer at times but it definitely rewards re-viewings. About the only thing I could think to criticise would be some of the loose...

    For Criticism, ???? and Profit.

    Looks pretty good, not that I have any idea what you look like but I'll just assume it's a good likeness :wink: Vaguely secret project? Now you do have me intrigued...

    Devil May Cry Movie Adaptation

    I'm in agreement with most of what's being said here; I'm a big fan of the games but it was hardly because of the story - unless you count ironic amusement from the hammy voice acting and so-bad-it's-good dialogue... DMC has always been fundamentally style over substance and while an action game...

    First Thundercats Image Surfaces

    Seems like I can put away the cynicism for now, this looks pretty good. I was thinking something similar; I'm not after ultraviolence or anything but some proper action wouldn't go amiss - going on the trailer I have high hopes :)

    X-Men Anime Promo Release

    So I figured, just thought it was interesting as a glimpse at how it might have been in anime form then :P

    X-Men Anime Promo Release

    Just remembered, this isn't the first time X-men have gotten the anime treatment: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfjAbXrvkFw

    X-Men Anime Promo Release

    Gotham Knight had its moments certainly; I seem to recall Madhouse's episodes weren't bad, but Production I.G was way below their usual standard. Maybe I just had unrealistic expectations for the potential of an anime Batman when the anthology was inevitably going to be a mixed bag from the...

    Then I'll just say 'well done' :wink: The tonal work has developed nicely and it looks like you finally sorted out that arm. Great work all round!

    X-Men Anime Promo Release

    Same here, the Iron Man anime, Gotham Knight and Afro Samurai Resurrection quelled much of my enthusiasm for this sort of US-Japanese collaboration. Still the trailer does look promising on the animation front, I just hope they manage to cook up a decent story to go with it this time.

    First Thundercats Image Surfaces

    Sounds like they're honouring the old designs and ideas while giving it enough of an update to stand on it's own merits (I hope). Perhaps my childhood TV memories won't be butchered afterall...

    Gunslinger Girl 2 getting UK Release on 16/05/2011

    That pretty much covers my feeling on it too. What I saw of Il Teatrino seemed pretty watchable, but I'll never forget the crushing disappointment I had after seeing the first episode. I can't help but wonder how it might have turned out in Madhouse's hands :( Maybe when/if it turns cheap...

    First Thundercats Image Surfaces

    Wow, I knew nothing about this! Not sure what to make of it yet but it sounds more promising than the proposed movie. Either way, the new designs aren't all that bad, though they do look like they've been slightly moe-ified. Seconded.

    Review of Eden of the East

    Yeah, I hold a similar view on the series. A few of the episodes around the midway point let down the strong start and there were one too many loose ends for my liking (though I'm guessing the films will address those). All the same like you say it makes for refreshing viewing in an endless...

    Viz Media to publish Mardock Scramble

    Cyberpunk = WIN. Have been interested in this one since I caught a glimpse of the movie a while back. Will definitely give it a go.

    Most annoying shopping moments.

    I almost did before noticing the language, it's strange that one volume would be so massively expensive in English while the rest can be snapped up for £5-10. Can only assume it's out of print. EDIT: Lucky, lucky you... :P

    Monster

    That's a damn shame. I suppose a mature, relatively realistic series like Monster was always going to be a tough sell in the west but given some of the crap that's flown off the shelves I'd hoped they'd at least finish it in R1. What a waste of a great anime.

    Most annoying shopping moments.

    I bought Battle Angel Alita: Last Order up to volume six, before discovering seven has become an expensive rarity. Cheapest I've seen is over £30. Not a chance.

    late 80's/90's anime

    Thinking of the 80's/90's makes me miss cell animation. Great as clean digital lines are traditional animation had a feeling to it I've rarely seen replicated by it's successor. Putting aside obvious faves like Cowboy Bebop and Evangelion my choices would have to include Macross Plus, Gunbuster...

    Seems you've done some impressive work since I last checked in, the new pose for the girl look's even better and your dalliance with vector art has yielded some interesting results too.
