New Anime Releases - 23/08/2015

[Lutga]

Gundam Wing is awesome - though sadly now out of print in the UK. Hopefully Anime Ltd will give us the pleasure of a nice new Blu-Ray set sometime next year...

Will probably get Muv-Luv at some point, and Space Dandy when I watch the 1st series

 

[HdE]

Never saw Gundam Wing when Cartoon Network has one of the series on there. Never saw The Big O when it was on CN either.

Either of them worth a watch? Don't even remember what the latter was about, I just remember Steve Blum voicing and that girl called Dorothy

If the mecha aspect of Muv Luv interests you, I'd suggest giving my review on the main page a thorough read. The show does its mecha thang pretty well, but it's more character focused, to the point of being borderline harem.

As for Gundam Wing: give it a miss. It's a complete mess, and boring as sin.

The Big O, on the other hand, is absolutely joyous stuff, and needs a complete re-release at some point.

I'm only going to watch the muv luv animes after reading the VN.

Waiting on space dandy season 2 standard or equivalent discount on the collectors.

The cover of Muu Luu doesn't move me much, but the Space Dandy covers do. What's the AUKN consensus on this Dandy show?

 

[Lutga]

Space Dandy is fantastic if you like comedy with a clever a Sci fi twist - definitely one of the funniest anime I've seen in a long time, and just really well written and executed, as you'd expect from the creator of Cowboy Bebop.

I've seen a lot of people compare it to the likes of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Red Dwarf and Futurama. So if you like that brand of comedy and tone, it'll probably be right up your street.

Gonna get Space Dandy at some point in the future when I have money.
