The Bizarre World of Bootlegs
Recently a friend told me that they were moving overseas and, to lighten his load, decided to give me the majority of his anime collection. Well, two-thirds of said collection turned out to be bootlegs. He said that many came from a single source he had bought from years ago. Apparently this was one...

Re: Favorite games based on anime/manga
Of the anime/manga games that have come over to North America, my favorites are: Gundam Battle Assault 2 (PS1) Gundam: Encounters in Space (PS2) Robotech: Battlecry (Gamecube) Dragon Ball Z Budokai / Raging Blast (PS1 / PS3) I can't recall how many hours I sunk into Gundam Battle Assault 2 and, ever...

Re: Laserdiscs
Ha, Harmony Gold really knew how to recycle their material, didn't they? I may have to track down one of those Lensman VHS tapes in the near future. Speaking of Harmony Gold, Robotech: The Movie is one laserdisc that has always eluded me. It doesn't help that the only LD version of the movie was rel...

Re: Laserdiscs
The Streamline one's not bad, it's great that it comes with both the English dub and Japanese language track. I do spot this LD on eBay from time to time. If I'm not mistaken, Lensman still hasn't received an official US DVD release. I believe it did make it onto VHS back in the 1990s, but that migh...

Re: What are you Reading?
Currently reading through all 15 volumes of Battle Royale. Possibly one of the best drawn manga's I've ever seen. The style is so incredibly detailed and toned, every panel is a pleasure to view. While working through that, I'm also reading Welcome to the N.H.K. on the side. I loved the anime and th...

Re: Laserdiscs
Next up is an image of my Lensman laserdisc. This one's not a Pioneer disc, but released through Streamline Pictures. I originally remember reading about Lensman in an old issue of Starlog Magazine (issue probably came out in 1990 or so) and the article promoted the so-called 'Anime Invasion', thoug...

Re: Laserdiscs
And here is the Tenchi Muyo! "Book of Earth" LD set, which contains episode 8-13, along with the Mihoshi Special. Also, included are two pretty neat special features, a 'video picture book' titled Here Comes Jurai 2 and an interview with the voice talent. http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/...

Re: Laserdiscs
New member here, so I'd thought I'd contribute something… I'm a huge laserdisc collector. Without question, it's my favorite media format and I'll easily take them over Bluray, DVD, VHS, Betamax, any day. There's something about the picture of a laserdisc that gives a genuine "film" look w...

Re: Bubblegum Crisis love thread
That Kenichi Sonoda artbook is unbelievable! Just in those images alone, there was a number of Bubblegum Crisis artwork I've never seen before.

Re: Konnichiwa!
Thanks for the warm welcome! And ryoran, I was big into Ranma 1/2 years ago but, for some reason or another, never finished the anime. I was just able to get my hands on the later DVD sets, so I'll be checking those out while reading the manga. There's a number of titles I've been revisiting now as ...
