    I just wanna say I just saw the new updated version of Akira on blu-ray, they redid some of the dialogue and changed all the voices and let me tell you, it sucks horribly. While visually it's superb they really laid a stinker in the audio department.

    That is... unfortunate. I had heard there would be some changes, but I didn't think they'd rewrite the dialogue and stuff. That's gross

    I was at a collectibles warehouse/swap meet this past weekend, and I found an imported Trigun box set, containing all 26 episodes and it was only $30. I own an imported box set for Neon Genesis, and I know that the overall quality of the image suffers because so many episodes are compressed onto a single disc, but I was pleasantly surprised when I began watching disc 1 and saw that there were no discernible screen tears or pixelated looks which usually company these types of discs.

    Point of the story : Sometimes imported box sets are worth the price tag

    is it just me or are they jumping around the main story in Bleach. The story gets really good then they jump to a different story then go back to the arc. it is kind of annoying.

    That is called "relleno" in Spanish, it happends when the anime reach the same level as the manga. The producers has to invent some history to wait the manga

    This is manga rather than anime, but...

    I have the complete set (23 volumes) of the Fruits Basket manga. I would like to sell the entire set as it seems a waste to put the near-mint set in the Goodwill bin. Would anyone be interested, or know someone who might be?

    /bump because there needs to be more anime talk.

    Anyway, top 3 for me would have to be:

    Kill La Kill
    Is this a Zombie?
    Dragon Ball Z (obviously....Piccolo is my favorite character)

    Special mention to Sekirie, Berserk, Bento, Brynhildr in the Darkness, and many others.

    Not necessarily in that order. I tend to enjoy funny/fan servicey anime over the super serious stuff.

    And I keep seeing people mentioning Akira....Maybe if someone can explain to me exactly what happened in that movie I might begin to understand it. But as it stands, I'm not really sure I *get it*!!!

    Well....most of it really. I mean, I get that it's dystopian future Japan, biker gangs, martial law, etc etc, yadda yadda.

    But what's with the two kids? Are they...mutants? And if so, from what exactly? Does it ever tell you in the movie exactly what happened? Nuclear fall out, I'm guessing, but I don't remember anything about a past war or conflict. What is their purpose, besides being weird? They are being kept by the government but why? Did it ever say? Other than, they have special powers that they wished to preserve/use for their own devices? And the ending... I got done watching everything and I think my response was "WTF?" I'm still not sure what I saw or how it was significant to anything else. What was the deal with the Kronenberg monster? Where did the kids go? What about Tetsuo?

    Like I said, I was kind of at a loss during the entirety of the film so maybe I was just missing things that I might catch should I watch it a second time through. I hadn't read any of the manga, so I'm assuming the film left out tons of critical details, but what they did put together didn't make *any* kind of sense to me. I mean, some anime just doesn't. I accept that! But I didn't expect something so highly regarded to leave me scratching my head like that. It was very similar to when I recently watched BLAME on Netflix and afterwards I felt like I had missed out on some critical fact that held the entire story together. But after consulting Wikipedia, turns out it's just very vague and open ended. So I kind of assumed Akira was like that as well.

    I feel like I would like that one. Is it on Hulu or Netflix? I like anime but most of my anime watching has been full-length movies. I have watched a few series like Serial Experiments Lain but nothing much since then. Would love to watch something sweet and cute but there's just so much out there and quality varies too much, I think.

    I believe you can get it on Crunchyroll, Mae, however I found a stream with an English dub, because I'm uncultured swine.

    I have been hearing so much about it and the fantasy fiction community loves to write about it so I finally figured I would give it a shot, although I don't normally do the whole M/M pairing thing. And I tell you what, I *loved* it. I mean, absolutely adored it. I imagine I'll turn right around and watch it again in my spare time because it's that good. But its a fantastic slow burn romance story without it getting creepy or porny (probably because the show was written and directed by women) and the characters are interesting and fun. I cried, I laughed, and I cheered my ass off for Yuri.

    I'm going to recommend it to like...everyone I know.

    Over Christmas break I watched both seasons of Tokyo Ghoul and both seasons of Attack on Titan...

    So, I was kinda 'meh' about Tokyo Ghoul....it's ultra violent which is fine, and I enjoyed the characters quite a bit but I think after two seasons I still feel a bit lost as to what the heck is actually going on. I mean, I kind of get it. Sorta. But I don't think they have incorporated enough backstory about ghouls and what they are and how they originally came to be to really *really* get my attention. Plus, sometimes I think things get absolutely bonkers just for the sake of things getting bonkers. Which is cool, it's anime after all, but I think there is just so much potential that I can't help but want more of the origin/character stories and less of the over the top action that the series seems to fall back on constantly. I'm excited to hear that season 3 is scheduled to be released this year so maybe more of my questions will be answered then? Lets hope so! If not, I may try the manga, because I want to like it....it's got all the groundwork for the kind of story I like. But right now I don't feel that the anime is delivering.

    I actually really liked Attack on Titan although some of the methods they used to tell the story was kind of goofy, like the whole jumping back half a day all time..."Why am I thinking about this now?!" After about 6 or 7 episodes I found myself rolling my eyes every time someone said that. I mean sure, it's a fine way to present a flashback I guess, but it just got old to me. I did enjoy the story though and my gawd, they didn't pull any punches in terms of killing certain characters off, which I really appreciate. It was like a George RR Martin story on crack. The animation is great and pretty consistent throughout which is kind of a big thing for me. So much anime starts strong and then once half the season is over you can tell they bring in the B and C teams for the rest. I'm very much looking forward to season three which is supposed to air in Japan in July....I might actually have to watch the subtitled episodes which is usually not my thing, but I'm curious like a kitten as to where the story is headed to next.

    And I love Levi, there needs to be more Levi in season 3. :-)

    It was so good, Mae!!! I absolutely loved it. The animation is excellent and the story...gives me all the warm and fuzzies. Definitely going to look into more material from the same writer.
