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.

Cool site for anime news: Anime News Network

Kaena - The Lost Prophecy is starting soon on circuit, pretty cool CGI flick, I hope that we do get to see some decent anime on circuit as well

will be very good if it happens.

naaice simmy! i will play a bit!

*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.
*more sighing*

i hope its not as disturbing and sick as som of my friends anime. it better not have tentacle monsters either

that is Hentai, anime is very different

I got up to 96 of Naruto & I will get around to getting the rest mayB @ the next lan, I got 95 Kenshin & all OVA, X was cool I guess I will start Hunter x Hunter next...

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... But the other dvds that I bought with this one are all the same... but I will check, thanks.

um actually i do understand the difference between anime and hentai. but some anime is still seriously disturbing. try lain. episode 8 (rumours)

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.

Got to see that one.

Actually, hentai is anime.

actually, if you look at the original fairy tales... they were somewhat similar to what anime are.... not sweet Disney children stuff... the original fairly tales where for adults, rauncy, and harsh...

Actually, hentai is anime.

Quite right, but hentai is the perverted form of anime but then that is what hentai means of course & then ecchi is nudity
