Someone really needs to release Kimi ga Nozomu Eien here in the states... it really was an awesome series. I thought you skipped on the R2s though, Kong?
It's funny cause I started you on that series and I still haven't got past disc 1 ;) I have soooo much anime to watch right now. I am surprised at how WELL DONE the Yu Yu Hakusho DVDs are! They have beautiful image, awesome sound for the time period it was made, untranslated opening and...
I just picked up the first 7 discs of Yu Yu Hakusho and the 1st disc of Detective Conan (which'll probably be the only disc I'll buy, for the premiere/setup episode).... $40 in the 2 for 10 bin. w00t! ;)
At Best Buy today I noticed that they had the 3-pack of the first 3 volumes of Last Exile for $19.99 ... anyone who hasn't bought the series should jump on that one!

Sorry I haven't been around.... I'm a moderator at another forum right now (www.orangeanime.com [I'm Lutter, feel free to join, there's lots of members outside of Florida]) and also have been busy with school/getting a job in my career (convention management). Just got the Mobile Suit Zeta...
I actually just finished getting Super GALS in the ADV sale ... it's WELL worth getting. I find the show utterly hilarious (and it's great to get girls watching anime with ;) ). There's actually another 26-episode season that ADV has yet to put out, but I do believe they own the licensing...
ADV has a big sale going on on their site... http://www.advfilms.com/Sales.asp I picked up the rest of Super GALS that I was missed (3-6) for $52 shipped, hawt.
Picked up Samurai Champloo (the Best Buy-exclusive OST + DVD combo for $24.99, box was kinda fugly anyways)... what a great show. I'd also like to add that everyone should check out the dub (*gasp*). David Lucas is doing the voice of Mugen and (just like Bebop) he's doing a great job! Of...
Tony, trust me... you'd LOVE Beck. It's about a teenage boy (who happens to be a fan of the j-pop) becoming part of the Japanese punk rock club scene (more 90s Punk though, they mention The Ramones a LOT), learning to play guitar, and eventually finding other band members on his goal to being a...
I don't like Mononoke for a simple reason.... it's just a remake of Nauiscaa!! :D :D I've got a bunch of items some of you guys'd probably be interested in up from grabs in the software for sale forum... check it out... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=218651 Prices are...
I've watched my Spirited Away disc a good 5 times. I think it's the 2nd best Ghibli film next to Nausicaa, but that's probably just me. ;) Anyone know if Cat Returns gonna have the Ghiblies short on there? Nausicaa have a subtitled version of Hideaki Anno's commentary from the R2? (I'd...
Updated the site once again and actually got a color scheme I actually seem to like (and added a bunch of forums). Check it out... http://www.elitistotaku.com/phpbb My main motivation for starting the new site was that my best friend (who runs www.orangeanime.com , the biggest anime...

Still very much a work in progress, I've installed phpbb2 forum software on my webspace, and have created a new webforum. Check it out! http://www.elitistotaku.com/phpbb/ It's not even close to finished (I really need to lighten up the color scheme a little and add a bunch of hacks), but...
http://www.hmv.co.jp/product/detail.asp?sku=1792183 L'arc~en~Ciel LIVE IN THE USA (at Otakon 2004) is coming to DVD in Japan. Sony had a bunch of handheld guys and 3 cameras in the upper-deck, no cranes though... so it'll be interesting to see how this DVD turns out! :) The concert was...
If you like Lain, Boogiepop, Haibane Renmei, Texhonolyze... you're an "ABe whore" :) Cowboy Bebop was directed by Shinchiro Wantanabe, who also directed Macross Plus and recently also directed Samurai Champloo, which should be coming out on DVD in R1 in January. Great series, by the way
Fact is, if you want to see 2D animation... there are no more companies in the US putting it out. Korea and Japan are the only two countries producing it, and with more and more Japanese outsourcing, it is looking like Korea will become the center of the animation world in the next decade or so.
FMA is one story going across 50 episodes, while there are some lighter moments, I would say the show leans more towards the dark elements of alchemy (parts of the show are REALLY dark).
Their was a mislabeling which caused all the regular editions of GitS:SAC v.2 to have the DTS disc instead of the DD5.1 disc.. which could have caused problems for people who don't have DTS hardware and also omits the extras. The SE has the same labeling problem, but also includes the mislabeled...
