Time for another early review.  This time we have the Escaflowne movie, now having over half a dozen American releases.     Having had over a dozen releases, and the Ultimate Edition from day one still being the preferred version, is Escaflowne on Blu-ray a great release?  Or should it go in the pile of [...]

Looks like the DVD and Blu-ray for Evolution will have slightly different coverart (I’m sure many people will just jump at the chance to get variant coverart for such a…. fine…. piece of entertainment.   Here are the different covers for the 5 of you that are interested.     Just fantastic, I’m sure Goku’s [...]

Wow, we already have an American anime Blu-ray getting a double dip (well mostly anyways).  Here we are again with yet another Broly Blu-ray.  The original ‘prototype’ Blu-ray disk had quite a few problems.     Is this new disk’s power maximum?  Let’s go take a look.

Few small updates for everyone.   First, some Canadian anime fans have wondered what Best Buy would be doing with anime, and we have a quote from Best Buy Canada.   “The feedback that I received was that Anime titles don’t have the same market penetration here in Canada, mostly due to less TV exposure.

Anchor Bay (Manga and Anchor Bay are both owned by the same company) will be showing off their upcoming Ghost in the Shell Blu-ray at the NYCC this weekend.   Maybe it’ll be the 2.0 version?  Should know soon.

It’s time for one of the bigger, if not the biggest early review I’ve done, Akira.  Akira is one of the biggest, if not THE biggest anime as far as us over here in the USA are often concerned with.  Over the years with more and more big name releases it may get a bit [...]

Got a bit of info on the 5cm per Second dub. Not sure if Bang Zoom is doing it themselves, or if one of Bang Zoom’s recording studios was rented out by somebody else (it appears it ISN’T Bang Zoom, might even be the same studio that did Nanoha and Familiar of Zero). It looks [...]

Got a stack of early news that may interest people.  Let’s start with the least interesting stuff first. Dragonball Z TV Blu-rays are being worked on (or at least in the higher side of planning stages, I’m not 100% sure on that).  Beyond that, I know nothing (minus a hint of maybe a pack in [...]

After lots of problems in 2008, with quite a few recalls, it’s time for one of Bandai’s big 2009 products, a new year, a new start, let’s see how Bandai does with their first Blu-ray, of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence.

No, no date for the USA, but news that suggests it is coming sooner rather than later. I can confirm the added scenes for Adventure Children Complete are being dubbed by the same English cast that did the original English dub as we speak.
