OK. Let's talk. Someone tell me what the latest Ghlibi film is. I have a wad of bills burning a hole in my pocket. ;D

Got The Godfathers a few days ago for 2 quid. HMV are selling it for 10. Looks like it should be good.

Oh 2,3 AND 4...

Didn't come across.

Anyway i already have Ghost and Akira, same as most people who'd be getting the mag I'd assume. No wonder they've had to go for an offer so early.

Yeah, but £8.99 for 3 DVDs, and a T-shirt. Then just cancel. Can't be bad.

I found out today that the girl I like loves anime, I'm going to whale on her tommorow for having Gaara as her favourite Naruto character.

(I show love in a weird way)

Rock Lee ftw!

I also see that the Manga Force magazine has a subscription offer on: issue 1,2 and 3 or 2,3,4 for £8.99 - each with a DVD on.

Issue 1 - Ghost In the Shell
Issue 2 - Blood
Issue 3 - Macross Plus 1&2
Issue 4 - Akira
Issue 5 - Evangelion: Death and Rebirth
Issue 6 - not out yet

I've subscribed to 2,3 and 4, you get a T-shirt as well and a watch (wow!) with your 3rd delivery.

Problem is, they send 2 issues every 4 weeks after that for £8.99 an issue, so after the first delivery, I'll probably cancel.

They're also in WHSmiths for £8.99 each. They have dubs and subs, but it looks like no extras.

Looks like an attempt by Manga to try and get their name associated with Anime again, though. They got some bad publicity with the Daily Mail hate campaign. Many years ago everyone was wrongly calling Anime 'Manga' anyway...

Dual - that was it. Quite funny parody of Evangelion.

No idea.

Picked up Bubblegum Crash on the cheap today, I remember hearing Bubblegum Crisis was supposedly a classic so hopefully this follow up is on par too.

Mainly because Japanese love their mechs. But yeah, that's why I liked Evangelion, it had a different spin on the whole Mech thing.

And what was that other one that was a parody of Eva? The one with the boy that found the alternate universe and had to put on the female mech rider costume because they could only be controlled by girls...
