(-) The Big O on Toonami
More emails have been sent to Toonami, requesting information about any new anime titles (such as Trigun) they might be acquiring in the near future. Here is a response;
"We have no plans to buy Trigun......as yet.
We are looking at all the various shows available to us, and our programming director is in Tokyo at the moment, so I dare say we'll be trying to snap up anything that is looking good.
One problem we have is that whereas CNX was in the adult epg, Toonami isn't, and so a lot of anime shows are too adult to be shown there. We're looking into the possibility of running harder edged shows through the night for the fans, but we'd have to get permission from sky!
I can tell you that we should be showing the Big O in April 04."

I remember that time, not sure how many releases it was but we went several months with just a couple of releases, hardly anything at all (looked pretty bad for the industry), then things began to pick up, mainly because of ADV I think. Then everyone started putting something out (MVM, Manga, Warner, Columbia Star etc).
It's good to see MVM are putting out quite a lot for 2004. Their titles seem to be teamed up with Pioneer, Funimations and Tokyopop. Come February '04 we can expect atleast (if ADV keep it up) 11 new anime releases a month. Now that's going to be pretty sweet.

In terms of new anime stuff (region 1), I’ve recently got the first Witch Hunter Robin disc (though have so far only seen the first episode), Last Exile is in the post and I shall soon be ordering L/R volume 1 and the New Dominion Tank Police disc.
There’s lots of good stuff to get that’s for sure, and it’s good to see the UK release schedule rather healthy. There was a long period not too long ago when new releases were hard to come by.
At the moment I’m also re-watching the first few Lupin III TV dvds, really fantastic cheesy stuff. It’s dated, but really fun.

I'm curious to know if anyone bought Kiki's Delivery Service and/or Castle in the Sky yet? They would make great presents for kids this Christmas I would think. I'm not sure I'll get the UK version of Castle in the Sky as I much prefer the first English dub (which I think is on the Japanese DVD) Also I read somewhere that there was another english dub for Kiki's Delivery Service? I wonder what that one was like, although I do enjoy the Disney dub with Kirsten Dunst as Kiki.
Anyone watched any new animes lately? After I check the DVDROM features on this Hulk DVD I shall be watching Manga Entertainments' Read or Die. I'll post my review later, should be a good series.
