The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

[Wildcard]

But RahXephon isn't just another entry into the genre Evangelion popularised - it's a copycat, pure and simple. I've lost count of the number of material that is blatantly copied from Eva, and that was only in 9 episodes!

I thought so too at first. Perhaps I'm an obsessive, but I spotted a lot of similarities in the artwork, plot and direction. Still, I'd argue it develops more of it's own personality towards the end - it's heavily endebted to Eva, but it's not just trash.

Oh, and I bought Black Lagoon TSB vol 2. A lot better with the dub, particularly thanks to the removal of english/japanese crossover from the original.

Most of those seem to be trying to make similarities between things that happen in totally different situations/circumstances, comparing screenshots means nothing.

The atmosphere created by RahXephon was completely different to that created in Evangelion. I felt it when I watched it, Evangelion didn't even cross my mind.

This is getting well off-topic anyway, so I'm going back to posting what I've bought.

And in I swoop with an on topic post for a change.

The first things I've bourght in ages~
The Girl Who Lept Through Time DVD from HMV. As soon as I saw "Exclusive art cards" on the cover I had to get it.

Also Gyo vol.2. Still gotta read Gyo vol.1 but at least I can read the full story in one sitting now.

Mobile Suit Gundam: 08th MS Team - Anime Legends Complete Collection -- £14.99
Wolf's Rain: Anime Legends Perfect Collection (7 DVDs) - £17.99

Saw that Wolf's Rain collection and I pounced.

Three hours later I remembered that Bandai are currently replicating dogshit for discs, and went and cancelled the order. I'll wait to see how people find the discs in February first before putting some money down.

Also Gyo vol.2.

I think it's that volume that has colour pages in Or it could be Uzumaki volume 2. Either way, it's a very sexy book!

I knooow! Viz did an awesome job with the covers for Uzumaki and Gyo. Massive respect to them for that!
