    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: "Igby Goes Down" (with screenshots)

    My roommate and I saw it together the other day and we both thought it was a extremely well-written, well-acted film with very interesting characters who had to deal with getting shit on over and over again. The film club on our campus (UCLA) showed it to about 200 of us and nearly everyone...

    Wheel of Time #10 released today

    I've read several times (one of which was an interview with him after Winter's Heart came out) that he plans to finish it in "around" 13 books. Whatever that means... That said, I love the books and can't wait to get the new one.

    I don't know if any Moderator will see this, but can we please archive this thread? I think there's enough good info in here to warrant keeping it around.

    Wow, I really like that idea. Kind of addresses the problem of people downloading the first couple episodes online to "just see if they like it," and then going on to download the whole series/movie. Do the other companies have anything similar to that?

    Heh so many inquiries into my whereabouts... Well, I'm on the quarter system at UCLA so that means that I had midterms and mid-quarter papers over the last few weeks (not continuous though), with finals in two more weeks. Basically I haven't had too much time to watch anime, which is a...

    I just received my Paul Champagne metal Gasaraki box, and I seriously could not be happier with it. The thing is just gorgeous. Granted, I'm a delusional fanboy, but I think it was still a well-spent $35 :)

    As the last thread quickly reached 1,000+ posts (of which sadly only 100 were mine), it's about time we started fresh again with a new version. Onward with the discussion...

    The wonders of pre-ordering :) I just have to wait until a "perfect" (i.e. no chance of anybody interrupting) opportunity to sit down and watch it.

    This place sure has gotten busy in the last week or so :) I haven't had much money to buy anime lately, but I made sure to buy Champagne's metal Gasaraki box and End of Evangelion (electricity be damned!)... Death & Rebirth ended on a BRUTAL cliffhanger. I can't wait!

    Lucid Dreaming

    When I was 14 or 15 I used to get these like almost every night, and whenever I got to the point where I realized I was dreaming, I would immediately haul ass over to the house across the street where two insanely hot sisters lived and I would...uh, yeah :)

    Oh, and please, please stop going into the old rhetoric over the sub/dub issue. With such a heavily moderated forum, it only degenerates into factioning and the inevitable personal attacks. We started these anime threads, what, a year and a half ago? I don't want it to get closed down over...

    Andy: Just wait until you get up to the episodes with Dilandau in it. His VA is absolutely HORRENDOUS. Honestly, I think Hitomi and Van's VA's are pretty decent, but Allen's (?) sucked and so did a few others. Right now I'd give the dub a C, but without Dilandau's horrible performance I'd...

    Yep! Rebirth ended on a BRUTAL cliffhanger! :) Speaking of which, why did they change the pronunciation in the dub of EVA from "Ayva" to "Ehva". It was pretty distracting. And I also don't like any of the new VA's for the Nerv crew...at all. I ended up watching it again subbed just because...

    Damn I've certainly been out of it for a few days now...actually try almost a week. Well, I just got Death & Rebirth and started it earlier today but had to stop it about halfway through. It's been hard to find extra time lately to even post here let alone write up my Eva review.

    Andrew: As far as I know, Gasaraki is not limited at all, or at least not in the same sense that Bebop was. But even if it is, I seriously doubt we'll see the kind of ebay ridiculousness that we're seeing with CB right now. It's nowhere near as popular. I think it will stay in stock for awhile...

    Jason, I have it almost all the way done, and yes I have been saying that for two months now :) I've written my take on the plot already, so I just have to do the technical aspects and it'll be up. So HOPEFULLY by tonight... And thanks for the interest!

    Andrew: 1.) Well, once again here's my Gasaraki review (just gotta keep plugging away :)). Bottomline is that the set is unequivocally worth it. Hell, I paid around $23-25 each for all 8 discs and I think it was definitely worth the price...well relatively anyway, since anime is so expensive...

    Yeah that's definitely an OST collection. I love how they say it's a "Cowboy Bebop CD Box (5 Pk) (W CD)"...I know I'm not quite a college graduate yet, but wouldn't that make it a 6 pack?

    And OVA/OAV's usually has higher per episode production values than TV series, which (if the money is applied correctly) equates to better animation and music. Two of my all time favorite shows are OVA's: Macross Plus and Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal.

    It looks like it's as simple as one being DVD and the other VHS :) Look at this page to see what I mean: http://www.rightstuf.com/cgi-bin/cat.../desc/asc/50/1

    You can buy it off Kong, or you can buy it from http://www.planetanime.com as they had a few extra units as of earlier today. They don't have the best prices, but that's at least one place still stocking it...at least for now. *EDIT* I just checked, and yes, as of 3:30am PST they had some...
