Did all of the otakus die here? Just wanted to give it a little bump.

Who here is planning on getting The Animatrix with the soundtrack? Does anyone know what type of music will be on there? I am trying to decide if I should get the soundtrack with it or not. I know that I can avoid a snapper by getting it, but I don't care about the case.

I don't want to spend extra on a soundtrack that I may not even like.

Well, having seen The Animatrix already, the soundtrack is pretty interesting mix of music, incorporating both Japanese and English eclectic sounds.

Watch The Animatrix before you watch Matrix 2, it makes the movie that much more enjoyable, AND play the game, Enter the Matrix because it will fill in some more information background to the whole Matrix thing.

Ha. Well, I could be watching some Cowboy Bebop, but I have been busy with school and stuff, since it is the end of the year.

Matt, I had to call Right Stuf to get my Please Teacher box sent to me. They had some sort of weird hold because of all the orders I had in May (they wanted to ship it with my May 27th preorders).

Tony:

Actually, I've been busy watching some new and old DVDs: Love Hina Spring Movie, GTO Volume 8, Castle in the Sky, Excel Saga volume 2, and Boogiepop Phantom. I've also got Excel Saga volume 3 on deck, along with a couple of Korean movies that just came in yesterday. Plus, I finally got a new job.

John.

Things are looking up, yesterday I received the first two sessions of Cowboy Bebop (together with the remastered Superman) and sittin on my doorstep when I got home was Mahoromatic vol 3!

Anyway, I haven't really had a chance to watch any of them but I did pop Mahoromatic in the player just to check out the disc. As with the previous two volumes it looks like the video & audio quality are top notch.

One thing I have always enjoyed about these discs is the subtitles to the songs alternating between english translation and romanji as well as the 'subtitles' for certain kanji/notices that appear throughout the show. These are all present and correct as usual. Go Pioneer!

I only own one other Pioneer DVD (akira) but I shall have to keep an eye out for their discs if this is representative of the quality of their releases.

FWIW I have listened to one episode with the english dub and I have to say I think this is one of the better ones, the original dub is my preferred way of watching anime but for those of you who don't have the habit yet the VA's have done an admirable job of translating most of the character & humour of the show. No one comment on this bit please, we all know how that conversation goes.

Oh, the disc also comes with a whole whack of new sticky things to dress the paper dolls you got in the earlier boxes with. Including what looks like the Teacher as Ivy out of Soul Calibur. Evidently I haven't seen that episode yet.

I'm afraid I bought it from a UK distributor who only ship over here. They're a little more expensive than RightStuf or any of my other regular internet shopping haunts so I won't be using them again as an anime purchase point.

They do however have a wierd track record of either shipping to me really late (Darkness Falls arrived 2 weeks after the release date) or really early. I don't even want to think about how fast they got me my Monsters Inc!

Hmm...

Well I finished Princess Nine on Friday that just passed, and have to say - What a series!!! Good drama, good sports action, and great characters make me agree with Chris Beveridge and others that I want MORE Princess Nine - as long as they stay with the quality of the series as it is now. Get the series, folks. It's well worth the money.

Just got Urusei Yatsura 16-20 today, so there is my anime fix for this weekend. Of course, I haven't seen 11-15 but since the series is episodic anyway, I don't think I will have missed too much...

And I do agree that anime soundtracks are fun - but I'd rather have MORE anime.

Those "in the know" of J-Pop should be happy to hear that, as announced officially yesterday, the musical guest for Otakon 2K3 will be none other than...

TM REVOLUTION

I know it is late, but AAD Part III has passed 1000 posts! I think it might be time to initiate Part IV.

Oh, yeah. Rob, WITCH HUNTER ROBIN VOLUME ONE IS COMING OCTOBER 21! Yes, there will be a limited edition of it, too.
