Alright, I went to Tokyo Godfathers. I have to say the the animation itself was not always quite what one would wish [although part of that may have been the print] but all in all Madhouse seem to have done a very good job, and most of it does look wonderful. I enjoyed the story and the setups quite a bit. I have the corroborative opinion of my sister, without whom I don't watch much anime [I just don't feel right watching video, or going to a movie, alone], who loved the ending credits but is just slightly put out that she's now going to be singing the "Ode to Joy" for days. It's not like it's my fault that she has had it memorised in English and German ever since our parents played it at their wedding [a long story].

Rob, importing Tenchi OVA3 is fine, just as long as it has English subs and is region free.
Ah, nevermind, I see it's priced at ~$50 for each 30min episode. No thanks, I'll wait for the US release.

It's strongly suspected in some quarters that Funimation, who did GXP in U.S. release, will pick up Tenchi OVA3; since they seem to be pretty quick workers, if they are indeed involved we may have an announcement by midyear and the first disc may come out before the series finishes in Japan. When Pioneer did that with the second part of the Tenchi OVA it was something new, but at this late date it should not seem too odd, even for a series of only 13 episodes.

I don't know all that much about the Tenchi universe as I just picked up the OVA box a few months ago.
What's the deal with all the Tenchi iterations? Tenchi in Tokyo, etc? I know the OVA is considered by many to be the "official" Tenchi. Why was so much time spent on other series and not continuing the OVA?

Eric...
$$$$$
Tenchi OVA3 doesn't have subtitles on R2 DVD (as with 98% of titles), so even then it's moot.  |

Well, Last night I finished off Pretear (RS seems to have thier stuff together for once since that doesnt' come out till the 30th!)
I have to say, for being what I thought would be a silly magical girl anime this story was actually really good! I actually felt like the story was held back by being in a magical girl anime because i think when the main character "preeted" that was the worst part of the whole thing! The whole fight sequences were just bad but the story was excellant...go figure! 
So...all in all, my first "magical" girl anime gets two thumbs up!

Hmmm... I'm torn here: the price is definitely right on the rerelease, but dammit, I still want that sweet-looking boxed set! I know it seems really silly to pay twice as much for nothing more than a sweet-looking box... but come on! It looks so SWEET!

Ben, my best friend has the boxes and trust me... you don't want them. After a few years of use (he's had them since they came out) the boxes are practically falling apart.
I'm going to taunt him with my solid keepcases |

World of Narue: does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm dangerously close to buying it but just preordered a bunch of other stuff (Arjuna Complete, Cutey Honey Essentials, Golden Boy Essentials, Gunsmith Cats) and that $48 dollar price tag is keeping me away thus far. heh. That and the fact I probably will want Key the Metal Idol complete when and if Deep Discount ever lists the thing on their site. Its still not there. *Pokes them* I want to preorder it dammit!
Anyway... World of Narue... fun? Or should I just hang on to my $50 and combo it up with another overtime day and grab off Slayers Next which Ive been wanting for awhile?
Im always asking this crap. I hope no one minds LOL

Ahh. Well, by DVD binge has finally caught up to me.
I now officially have enough unwatched stuff to last me for at least 6 more months.
Right now I'm on Stargate SG-1 Season 5. Next I'll watch S6. After that I suppose I'll watch some anime.
Argento Soma maybe? It's kind of heavy. Either that or the Sailor Moon boxes I just got.
