I haven't seen it yet. But a little trivia bit for you, the folks responsible for the animated sequence are none other than Production I.G. of Ghost in the Shell and Blood: The Last Vamprie Fame (among others).

To be honest, I didn't think as much of Hellsing as Per and others thought of it. It was intriguing, but the way they developed it was patchy. The animation as well was very patchy at times - some parts were very well animated, and showed a lot of detail, but it got progressively worse as the series...

It's a PlayStation 2 platform game. The first game was pretty popular.

I hope the social efforts this year turn out well. Our experiements to make the society a more sociable place (circa 2000 - 2001) were not very successful at that time. We'd have pub nights, and some of the committee plus two or three others would show up. Perhaps this years' members like to drink m...

Is there anyway we could draw attention to the Message Board, such as it is, at the next meeting? I agree with you there. The PA message board ...

*sniffles and wipes tear from corner of eye* Ah Project Anime seems to be doing so well now! ^_^ I remember when we were just this ickle ickle club, meeting in the Chaplaincy Centre, and only four people would show up, six if it was a good night (which was the entire committee). And we had to watch ...

The Battle Royale manga is supposedly good. I'm borrowing the novel from a friend, which is in the queue to be read.. Not much of a manga reader myself...

Probably being yourself, eh? How's life treating you, anyway? I got the DVD box set of Escaflowne last year. V...

So, how did you all do for members this year?

I don't know of any other animation studios/figures that are involved with music videos, but I'm sure they are out there. Though if you see some of the fan-made anime music videos, a lot of them are quite cool. Yamato is a space battle ship. It flies through space and I guess the people on baord kil...

Aliens (or possibly not) attack Tokyo. These are called Angels. For some reason only 15 year old kids can pilot the giant robots that have a chance of beating the angels. Explosions. Death. Destruction. Whiny boy baka-Shinji. Conspiracies. Cloning. Etc. Stuff gets muddled towards the end. I don't th...

Spirited Away wasn't my favourite Miyazaki, but it was certainly good. I haven't yet watched a Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli film that I haven't enjoyed on some level. They are all varying levels of good, in my opinion. Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind is still my favourite, followed closely by Laputa: C...

That's great! I hope you enjoy it! And buy lots of anime! Can I give you a shopping list? ;P When I was applying for a Master's I turned down the opportunity to study a 2 year MBA at the International University of Japan (2 hours by train outside of Tokyo), in favour of remaining in Britain. But I d...

Yes, I have. This series of music videos was released at the same time as the Daft Punk singles they correspond with. Daft Punk specifically approached Leiji Matsumoto to work on the character designs and animation for this project. The Daft Punk videos are very typically Matsumoto character designs...

Never heard of it.

I believe that these are HK bootlegs with Chinese people doing the translation and subtitling. I do not believe that they are dubbed. The translations and grammar are usually sub par, but understandable. This, at least, has been my experience with viewing such anime from these sources. samus -- "If ...
