Orgun
Dragon Knight
Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 19 - 25 (Blu-ray)
That's the first series complete and now into the first handful of episodes of the Netto-hen reboot.
AMAIM: Warrior at the Borderline - Episode 8
The now obligatory "it's about the characters not the mecha, maannn" episode! I still think Vifam did it best. Which was actually a decent episode, I like the fact that with 2 cours Kyoukai Senki has the room to do this sort thing and does seem to using the time wisely so far.
Sakugan - Episode 8
Still can't make my mind up about Sakugan, entertaining but I find it an odd show at the same time.
Robot Carnival (Blu-ray)
I picked the Blu-ray up earlier in the year and watched it Friday. I've watched it a number times over the last 10 years or so, and I find it a fascinating collection of animation every time. It looks absolutely glorious in HD and it still blows my mind that it was created by someone painting on lots of bits of celluloid and then putting them all under a camera one by one.
Neo-Tokyo
1987 was a good year for anthology anime!!! After watching Robot Carnival I had to rewatch Neo-Tokyo on Saturday. Maybe not as well known as Robot Carnival but just as good imho and looks just as amazing too. The look and feel of each vignette is easily recognisable if you're familiar with each director's work and it does feel like Rintrao took some of Labyrinth's themes into Take the X Train. Hopefully Discotek might bring us a nice Blu-ray of this as well soon.
Cowboy Bebop (Live Action) - Episodes 1 & 2
I went into this with a really open mind and it has been interesting to read people's comments on here. I honestly thought the 1st episode was just terrible, like a cheap pastiche of the original. I didn't think the second episode was much better either but I'm going to stick with it.
I quite liked Plastic Little, it's an easy watch and as you say a lot of effort went to into the animation
Had Blu-ray for a couple of years now and it's on the watch list for next year.
