Okay, no need for the insults. It's an action series about two girls on the road with guns like Noir/Madlax/ElCarzador except without the shittiness of Bee Train. It's animated by Manglobe (Samurai Champloo, Ergo Proxy) and starts airing in October.
Okay, retardumb is pretty funny. 
HELLSING OVA Vol5 Comiket trailer: http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=UWkX2qDxPSw
24th Oct 2008! Release date!!!!! Hope it doesn't get delayed (lol!!!). The series is now by Madhouse, but it looks like most of the staff is retained, most importantly the character designer/animation director. Here's the staff for Vol5 from the Geneon press notes:
Director: Hiroyuki Tanaka
Character Designer/Overall Animation Director: Ryoji Nakamori
Storyboard: Hisashi Abe
Script: Hideyuki Kurata
Animation: Madhouse

Tamanon said:Woot Woot! Hopefully that means a quick release for Slayers
Sadly, it doesn't really mean anything at this point. Funimation is simply enforcing Enoki's rights in the US. They do not actually have the licence to the show. Hopefully there will be an announcement soon, but in the mean time, this just means no fansubbed Slayers.

The more spectacular stuff was early on, but I still think it has been pretty entertaining. Others disagree apparently, so your mileage will vary no doubt. Just watch the first few episodes and see what you think.

The 4th vol. comes out in September too in NA. It's going to be a good few months for Hellsing fans.

Been watching Nabari no Ou lately...
I hate it. It's a damned SHINOBI show, right? So why is there no fighting, death, actiony, stealth, shinobi shit in it? In every episode after the first few, all I've seen is yap yap yakkity fuckyap and 2 minutes of action.
I'm all for good dialogue and drama but the drama is sappy and the characters make horrendous decisions. Who has heard of a shinobi that doesn't kill? That's retarded. And I think the main character may be slightly gay... I don't know. Maybe I was looking too far into it.
Gah. I'm at episode 13 but I think I'm going to quit. It started out great though...

Yeah, I was just reading about it. It's funny... they're doing it on behalf of another company right?mAcOdIn said:
Seems like a weird agreement if you ask me unless they've entered into some kind of licensing agreement, not necessarily for the shows listed but I can't see Funimation just singling that company out for the good of the industry or some shit.BlackGoku03 said:
Edit: That said, if Bamboo Blade gets a US release I'm so there.

I don't think so. The characters,especially Ranka, have been pretty meh and uninteresting and plot has been a real bore.momolicious said:

I've caught up to chapter 30, and although we have 20 years of material... not really that much has happened.
I used to think the comic was too violent, starting from the Eclipse through the rebirth arc, but after volume 20 (or somewhere around there) it toned down the violence considerably, focusing more on character development. Also, Guts in the last ten volumes has been a pretty good guy, actually doing some nice stuff from time to time. I totally think they could continue the show if they wanted to.
I bet you only watch the first episode and judge it immediate.This show is underrated. It's not a bad show.Fireblend said:
It pick around episode 8/9/10 when nearly all the XAT team dies or become amalgram. From there it's mostly all action action action plus some flashbacks.zoku88 said:Gonzo can make great shows
I wouldn't really call blassreiter one of them... it kinda bored me on the fourth or so episode...
the show is really good. the first episode wasn't great but the show keeps getting better and better. it's not a masterpiece but it deserves way more attention than it's getting.
besides gonzo can make good shows, they made 2 series that are better than 95% anime shows in the last 10 years or so (last exile and gankutsuou), plus some other nice series (samurai 7, fmp, welcome to the nhk, basilisk...).

uh...i watched up to the point where itou shizuka (i don't remember her char name...sad huh)'s "brother" receives the mark of the beast for lack of a better term and slaughters his classmates but didn't really think it was that great.
The only good series Gonzo produced on their own, I think(?), rather than a collaboration like NHK, was Kaleido Star Season 1...rest have been...meh
...and that was what..5 years ago?
