Anyone seen Trigun Badlands Rumble? Huge fan of the original series, completely forgot this was getting made. Its due to be released soon on bluray here.

Mr Jeff, where did you see the 2nd Berserk movie? I'm dying to see it!

[Mr.Jeff]

There was an anime weekend up in Edinburgh and it was one of the films they showed. It normally has some fairly good flicks on. Berserk 2 was really pretty good though. Definite step up from the first in terms of looks. It covered (spoiler)

->Open Spoiler<-

the battle of Doldrey, Guts leaving the band and Griffith's....indiscretion with the princess

Trigun Badlands Rumble is fairly good! It's intended to fit into the main series anywhere before all the serious stuff starts and while it doesn't really do anything beyond a normal episode of Trigun, it's still worth a watch if you liked the series.

Never anything like anime film events in my area, shame would like to the like sof Berserk on the big screen.

Speaking films, finished watching the Strike Witches film, pretty much everything you would want out of a SW show, Knickers, Guns and **** blowing up real good, set 2/3 months after the TV show ends,

->Open Spoiler<-

they do a good job of making Yoshika a badass without the witch powers and building up to getting the power back. I'm always a sucker for the comeback of a former/old hero.

Still watching everything i was apart from Hayate, dropped it due to the dullness and the never advancing relationships(also the art sucks). [K] is getting that way (dull), with seemingly nothing happening and an unlikable MC, Jormungand's plot armour on the main characters is making for a boring show, and the more we get to know them the more unlikable half the cast is, im getting into that feeling i had with Gundam 00 where im routing for the "badguys" to win.

Saw this and the 1st Berserk film at an Anime Film Day as part of Leeds International Film Festival today. I echo the above thoughts and don't want to get into spoiler territory as I think it is best viewed with fairly fresh eyes. Personally my main concern was the use of CG with 2D animation. Mostly good but if they could have stuck to 2D only (and there were scenes where this choice was made) I'd have been a very happy chappy.


P.S Tiger & Bunny film was a riot. Real life corporate sponsors for heroes on Hero TV? I'm sure it's just around the corner...

[SuperBeatBoy]

There's a Tiger & Bunny film? Sweet, i really enjoyed that show.

Yes. One that covers the early episodes and a latter one that will be out later next year.

Really enjoying Sukitte Iinayo and Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun this season!

Eva 3.0 is out in Japan. The wait has been unbearable.
Heres a clip that was posted yesterday.

[speedlolita]

Also on the UTW website.. >_>

[SuperBeatBoy]

I do apologise for my lack of knowledge of that fansub site. Just found out it is also on the WGAF website.. >_>

[Tobal]

dammm the wait for the bluray rip and then the UK release is going be tortuous.

[speedlolita]

Waiting another fortnight for another Initial D ep is gonna be tortuous. Fifth Stage is as awesome as always thus far.

[noobish hat]

Isn't it time this thread took an axe to the head?

It's hard to believe this is nearly 7 minutes. Really flies by. I was thinking the other day, wouldn't it be nice to go to the local cinema and see this first hand?

Sometimes domestic release only sucks big time.

Eureka Seven AO 23/24 end! - we've had to wait a while for the last 2 episodes, and it did surprisingly good job answering all the show questions but the actual ending itself left a real sour note

->Open Spoiler<-

like it had all been for nothing, i really dislike it when the adventure the MC's been on means nothing, i was waiting for something epic like Gunbuster 2 ending, just someone, anyone to greet him home or even going with the reset ending they chose, show what the main cast are getting up to.

In the end the show didn't live up to the heights of the original, Ao had few relationships that went anywhere and those he did nothing happened in the end, didn't help that Naru was pretty unlikeble once she got all uppity and coral hugging. The lack of proper Holland like character hurt, though Ivica wasn't bad he didn't have much to do being the captain only.

it will be a while till we see a Robot Sci-fi tv show like this, Muv-Luv alright but its clearly not in the Macross camp.
