Wouldn't Studio Ghibli or Buena Vista need to be contacted if there was to be any kind of lawsuit? I doubt CBC would be so benevolent as to tell them themselves... "By the way, we hacked your movie to pieces, so... you might want to consider legal action against us! Just a friendly heads-up!" On...

Just curious, is the DVD preview for New Frontier the same 3 1/2 minute clip that's been floating around the web for a couple of months?

I'm suprised they had the balls to air it on Much rather than delegate it to the lesser-seen Razer. Very cool.

I wonder if the WB will pull a Universal and issue a "version 2" boxset, like with the Back to the Future set? If so, I'll just wait until then. It's a shame, I was planning to get this for the holidays. As a Canadian, I probably wouldn't be eligible for the disc replacement program. EDIT: I...

Most of it was fairly average, but the trio of "Nah, we take what we can get. We've got two dead guys guarding the ammo shed", "Laura! LAURA!" and "Not you, Fred Durst" killed me.

I thought RahXephon was supposed to be the modern version of Raideen.

Somehow, they probably don't think that major plotlines should be beholden to throw-away easter eggs made years ago.

I hope that those aren't all the series premiering this fall. Because only a couple might look like they don't appeal exclusively to lonely otaku. That's sad.

It was nice. Not exactly mindblowing, but nice to see that there's still some quality animation, hand-drawn no less, being made at the Disney studios. Hopefully it's a preview of things to come with Frog Princess. With the lack of SFX and voices it actually felt a bit more like a Fantasia short...

...cue the excitement of thousands of furries in 3, 2, 1...

Wow. That was probably Whedon's strongest issue yet, in terms of drama. More than makes up for the "Danger" arc. This is the best comic I've read in years, and by far the best X-Men I've ever read.

Holy crap, Gundam Warhammer? Me wanteee...!

I definitely believe in the sign of Zeta. Gets me pumped every time. The original "Tobe, Gundam!" is a close second. It's corny, but I like it. After that I like the retro feel of the Turn A theme, and the first 0083 theme is pretty strong.

Just a question... It's been years since I've seen many of the episodes, although I'm considering the DVD... Anyways, other than the Pilot and a couple of two-parters, do episodes of Talespin have to be watched in any particular order? They all seem self-contained, and I don't think there were...

First thoughts... Matthew Perry can still only play Chandler Bing. Not really a bad thing, but it'll take a while to get used to. I hate, hate, hate Amanda Peet's character. Not that she's a terrible actress, but her character is just annoying and implausible. Her "charm" got old real quick...

I love it. It's Optimus Prime. I wish people wouldn't get their knickers in such a twist every time someone or something is redesigned for the big screen. That's the fun of it. I know that I probably wouldn't have like Brandon Routh's Superman as much if he had the same exact costume as Chris Reeve.

Slightly off topic... I haven't read Tsukuyomi, but it seemed to just be a pretty typical moe series. What's with the near-guro torture content?

Sounds like they're making Ledger's Joker more like the Dick Tracy villain he was in his early appearances - before he turned into a fourth-wall-breaking buffoon. Like Paul Dini described him in Batman Animated: "A grinning, mirthless ghoul who brought death with a smile to his victims." I like...

... Well, there goes my purchase. Guess my Miyazaki DVD library won't be complete quite yet. Damn it.

Yeah. Paul Dini confirmed on his blog that the Fleischer cartoons will be on the Ultimate set, and that he recorded some comments about them for a featurette.

Just goes to show that all the "issues" that English-speaking viewers seem to have with Destiny don't seem to affect the Japanese fans.

Not sure if it's been mentioned, but looks like YouTube is becoming the next Napster. Fun for a few months, before the suits strip it down.

From where I stand, he's not the one with his head up his ass. Yeah, yeah, you've really impressed us with your Gargoyles cred. Or you did, at least, the first fifty times you mentioned it. This is a discussion board. A Disney discussion board, no less. You can't stop people from discussing...

Hmm... my first reaction after getting home is that I'm somewhat dissapointed. After I saw The Incredibles, 19 months ago, I was practically bursting with excitement. I sat down and poured out a 1,000 word review effortlessly, but tonight I'm having a hard time expressing what I thought. I keep...

I went through most of the FAQ on their site, but I still need some things confirmed by actual people. So, with PayPal, I can link my bank account directly to it, so I can buy things online as if they were a debit transaction. Well, I thought to do that all I had to do was add and confirm my...

Not cool. Definitely not cool. Detective Conan was the only show I was really interested in. Dammit. If they do bring it back, it'll probably be at some ungodly hour.

As far as I know, new copies of FFVII for the PS1 are still being made. Either that or my local comic shop has some hidden supply of new, shinkwrapped Greatest Hits editions.

Well, for me, this was the point where the series "got better", so to speak. If you still don't like it, well, you can give it a few more tries, but it's probably just not for you. Eureka Seven isn't quite as dense as Evangelion or Fullmetal Alchemist, but it's a light, enjoyable show with some...

Even though the film is entirely FF fanservice, there's just a couple of small touches that I would've liked to see - then it would have been perfect. I really wanted to hear the classic FF prelude tune, preferably to have the flick open with it. And there were no chocobos to be seen! Why not...

Yeah. It might have looked even better if it had been animated in Japan, like many of the best Disney Afternoon episodes.

I wish they would've taken Lasseter's advice and removed that cliched, cliched, cliched villain. He'll bring the whole film down like a rock.

Hill has indeed been doing a lot of passive-agressive Lasseter bashing as of late. I find it baffling how he's always trying to play up sympathy for the Disney employees. Like, for instance, with Lasseter's ordered retooling of Meet the Robinsons - Hill keeps going on about how it was almost...

I had completely forgotten that the new Ghibli wave was coming out today. I was browsing through the DVD section when I turned and spotted them on a shelf - I froze, and my eyes bugged out of my head. Finally, all of Miyazaki's feature films on DVD! -Howl's Moving Castle -My Neighbor Totoro

It's funny how 4Kids gives the excuse that there's no money to be made in uncut anime, despite the fact that there's a good dozen companies in the USA who release nothing but. I guess 4Kids got spoiled by the cash they raked in with Pokemon, and so bringing in the revenue of a company like ADV...

Wow. That's one of the most beautiful theme songs I've ever heard.

Hmm... Detective Conan. Not my kinda show, but... interesting, I guess.

I saw it listed at Amazon for a pretty good price... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001NBLVI/ref=ord_cart_shr/102-0736911-8015363?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance&n=130 But the picture there doesn't look like this special collector's tin to me... Is this just a cheaper re-pack...

I've been thinking of picking this up, got a quick question... The new hardcover edition that came out a couple of months ago - does it still use the same newsprint-quality paper that the old TPB had, or is it higher-quality, glossy paper? Just curious.

Indeed fantastic news. Although I second the opinion that if Tofu & FUNi's contracts with L'Arc~en~Ciel and Asian Kung-Fu Generation don't apply to Canada, we should get all four opening themes. And it is great that the FMA DVDs are getting plenty of distribution up here, although you might...

I'm actually quite suprised at how closely they were able to emulate the look of claymation in CG. Although now that we've reached this point, I doubt we'll see much more stop-motion in the future. Aardman has a few more projects coming up, but I can see them switching completely over to CG...
