Re: Anime lovers
Not sure if I should post this here or in the Things I Desire thread...
Today, in a big electronics store, I found the Hayao Miyazaki Collection Box. It seems there is some pieve of work called Lupin which I have not heard of before which is missing, otherwise it contains all Studio Ghibli movies of Miyazaki. WANT!!
On the other hand, it is effin expensive with > 100 Euros for 11 movies (or is it 10 plus bonus DVD?) considering the packaging seems to be more similar to a shoe carton than anything "limited"...
So, not sure what to do.
Anyway, I DID buy the Collector's Edition Extended Edition of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug today. 5 Blu-Rays I have no player for and a fugly Weta Workshop statue... But, well, in this case, the collector's drive...

Re: Anime lovers
I'm thinking The Castle of Cagliostro wasn't there because Lupin III isn't a Miyazaki original character. He was created by Katō Kazuhiko, better known by the nom de plume, Monkey Punch. Sounds like a very cool set though. Hmmm, a thought, the eleventh disc might contain a collection of his fairly rare short films, which might just make that a must have.

Re: Anime lovers
I found that season 1 of SAO was awesome, but that season 2 was pretty haphazard and lacked the drive of the first season. Asuna was, by far, the most interesting character of season 2 and they made us wait a good long time through some serious nonsense before letting us get to her story.
Partner and I subscribe to Crunchyroll so we watch anime in the evenings together. Recently we began watching Yona of the Dawn. It's pretty good after the first 2 episodes, so I reckon we will continue with it.

the real problem with the entire sub vs dub debate is that it distracts us from the rule of the sneeple over our civilization

Re: Anime lovers
I don't watch much anime anymore. Kind of lost interest after high school/early college. However, when I find an interesting series, I'll watch it to the end. My two all-time favorites are: Trigun and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. There was an anime I dsicovered awhile back that I liked, but for the life of me, can't remember what it was. Had to do with people having super natural abilities, but every time they used them, they were punished in some way, or had to fulfill a pact.
Behold, my current in development comic book series and the many links you could share for me!

Re: Anime lovers
So, I rent a lot of things from my library. Books, CD's, DVD's... and a few weeks ago I happened to notice that there was an option to reserve items that haven't been released yet. I saw a box set for an anime series called She, the Ultimate Weapon. Having never heard of it and only going by the picture of a shy looking schoolgirl with a mecha weapon arm I decided "what the heck, why not".
Oh my glob, why did I do that?
If you don't open the spoiler in which I explain the entire story, I'll sum it up this way - it's been a while since a story has bummed me out this badly. Average animation style, melodramatic (even for anime) delivery of lines, and one of the most downer endings I've ever imagined.
