Can I count check discs? In that case, it's over 500 easy... ;p Seriously, I have something like 200 DVDs, almost all anime. Avatar checked out some Azumanga... heh, no fear

Icchan = king of wrong. "No, he's not a child molester!" (Of course, this is right after working on Excel, who has a mad scientist character that -is- a child moleter...) Andy finished Noir last week!

Be careful with Amazon's used stuff. Amazon themselves won't check out merchandise, and I've had people complain that they've been sold bootlegs by people claiming to have legit product.

Kong, whaddaya mean, "only"? ;p Andy

Didn't Anime Central share convention space with a convention of nuns one year way back? (To all accounts, the sisters had a good time too!) Andy Kent more Gamera extras today...

Yeah, sub versus dub is pretty much moot; you've got a DVD and the opportunity to try both, unless it's a show that was edited and got an uncut, subtitled release... in which case, that tells you a lot about which one to get anyway! ;p I mean, you guys know which side of the debate I'm on -...

Just finished Banner of the Stars 1. Enjoyed the heck out of it. Yeah, I could quibble with the translation and script a little, but as I do that almost all day long anyway, what the heck. Still a very good show. I wouldn't watch it before Crest of the Stars, though... Now to decide between...

RahXephon... yuuuuuummy. (Okay, I'm biased, but I love working on it. Ayato is so much more fun as a character than Shinji...)

Odd sleep pattern tonight - went to bed early and slept little. I'm going to be tired by quitting time tonight... (of course, I've got to help my boss move a 36" TV as he changes offices, so there's that too.) And nothing illegal about talking about it, of course, just that there's a lot of...

I don't know anything about upcoming plans for boxes with Champagne (that's the sort of thing I find out about after it happens... ;p) It's probably safe to say that -every- new title is either licensed or in negotiation on the day the first episode hits the air. Doubtless there are unusual...

They're both excellent shows, but with different aims. Evangelion is very much an angsty psychological drama, whereas Gasaraki is more mystical, and MUCH more political. Eva has weird conspiracy, Gasaraki has conventional conspiracies in great detail. That sort of thing. I personally feel...

Was it the "Do It Now" piece (which was mixed by Griffin Vance, our lawyer!), or the "ADV on DVD" trailer that we did way back when? The latter was a Chemical Bros. track, if I recall correctly, which is by no means guaranteed, I'm afraid. Andy Kent Halfway through with Noir...

Translating accents is always funky. I have a really hard time with it in the subtitles; since in the US, the only accents that lend themselves towards representation in text are the ones which also tend to indicate ignorant/uneducated hicks, it becomes hard to reflect a thick accent without...

If you're looking for recommendations, try Anime on DVD at www.animeondvd.com no need to duplicate the work here. It's also just about the best news and discussion site for anime that I've found. It's so good that we don't have to have a forum ourselves... ;p I enjoyed the heck out of...

Considering that I've spent hundreds of hours working on Excel Saga... ;p Okay, my opinion's hopelessly biased and I haven't seen Strawberry Eggs for comparison. That said, Excel is the most insane, most complicated, funniest gut-buster that I've ever seen or worked on, and most likely more...

Yes, Jeff left out many, many, many steps from the process, most notably involvement and approvals from Japan, which can take a small amount of time or ages untold depending on whether you make your saving throw. ;p (In other words, highly variable!) Most of the time estimates are...

Mind you, I also love Patlabor, and I very much enjoyed that volume, but four out of five? From a technical perspective, it's packed full of audio and video glitches, and the transfer's none too good. (I mean, sure, if it was a 1970s show, I'd expect that... but it's from 1990!) It's possible...
