New anime.. and manga

Post by jee »

In coming months, anime's three most prominent directors will release major films in the US. Oshii's Innocence will hit theaters in September. Soon afterward, Katsuhiro Otomo will debut Steamboy, an Indiana Jones-style adventure that takes place in an alternative Victorian age where turbo unicycles and pressure-powered jetpacks battle for supremacy. Then Hayao Miyazaki will deliver Howl's Moving Castle, about a teenage girl who flees a curse by hiding in a gigantic mechanical castle that prowls about on insectlike legs. In addition, Disney will issue three older Miyazaki films on DVD early next year, two of which have never before been released in the US.

Wonder when we will see it here...:(

"Integrity" and "integer" both contain a Latin root meaning "whole; complete." The root sense, then, is that people may be said to be acting with integrity when their beliefs, words, and actions have a sense of unity or wholeness.

*sigh* I don't even look at anime news anymore; it's just too dissapointing because I know the chances of my seeing it here is too slim.

Jee, do you have a multi-zone dvd player? it could be that the dvd you bought can only be played on zone 1 compatible players.

Narkath, I have to admit that the dvd player is like my washing machine.... I have a block when it comes to figuring the thing out... :oops: But the other dvds that I bought with this one are all the same... but I will check, thanks.

What about the last episode of Excel Saga?

They suddenly "lost the censor" and Hyatt's blood spits suddenly became revoltingly realistic, Excel and Hyatt go lesbian and all the female characters end up naked (or half-naked) by the end of the show.

I know the series rips off all forms of Japanimation, but seriously, the last episode was a shocking contrast to the wacky first 25 episodes.
