Tony Taka's art already sucked so not much damage there.

I was more disappointed that the cat girl only got 2 seconds of screen time
Kind of zoned out and drank dr pepper for most of it

Dragoon got the boot?
Probably for talking about piracy.

Ah, I skipped over that before. Dang...
Luckily the show itself has much better artwork.
Yami is tons of fun. Well...tons of something that might be defined as fun.
It is so utterly nonsense that it is endearing.
Indeed. But i think we are all just dirty old men seeing something in a pure hearted show.
Yeah his artwork of Horo is particularly lovely.
Its a style that seems very easy to fuck up and they definitely have.

Yeah, he's a full member.
And Jintor, you never answered my question about Australian DVD/BD new release prices!
I know. I hope to see more of her!

Rosa Gigantea is so awesome. I thought Mifuyu was going to be like Kurumi from Kimi ni Todoke and just hate on Yumi while refusing to do anything on her end to improve the relationship (lol) between herself and Sachiko.
Not much to talk about with this episode besides the lady killer that is Rosa Gigantea.

But instead she just gives up. :lol

Seeing Yoshino upset after not finding Rei's card was adorable.

Dammit to the heavens, Pierrot, you're going to give me nightmares tonight throwing those stills willy-nilly.
Oh, sorry. I only have a retailer pamphlet with me at the moment, but let me look up Madman's RRP (they're the larger company so they set the standard prices).
It feels like they tier pricing based on series popularity and other factors. I'll just drop a few numbers for now - all cash in AUD. Movies are generally DVD$25, Blu-Ray $30; collections are DVD$60, Blu-ray $60, same tier pricing.
New Release pricing is a bit tougher to get a grip on and a lot more expensive. Vol 1 of Madoka, which is only just coming out, is $30 DVD and $35 Blu-ray (or $35 DVD with collector's box and $40 with box). OVAs are on movie-tier pricing, so DVD$25 and Blu-Ray $30, while Ghibli movies command a premium: DVD$30 and Blu-ray $40.

Looks pretty similar to me.
There's probably a large difference, but it doesn't matter if the original character design was sterile to begin with.

Tony Taka = Sterile boring and lifeless designs.

Aaah, thanks, Jintor.
Once they release Nichijou I can pay the...$15 price! *cries*

Saint Seiya Omega 3
Why the hell did Geki turn into a bishounen Charles? The guy looks so bad now.
So there are still gold saints around, eh? I wonder if it's anyone we know. I hope we get a female gold saint this series since it seems like they want to tear down the walls discrimination in this one. That's always a plus.
Mostly a boring episode otherwise. The fight at the end was alright, but needed to be longer.

lol I'm pretty sure that some of the hentais based off his doujins looked better than this... which is about as low as you can go =/
It's a shame... after Tales of Abyss, I was beginning to believe that rpgs to anime might actually end up ok if done well.
well i'm sold. will watch
how the fuck did i miss this. incredible
The true Lovecraft show of this season, clearly.
Why do you ask, out of curiousity?

I was planning see the possibility of importing, as MadMan Entertainment has distribution rights to Nichijou and last I've heard, are planning to release it, though they haven't given a date yet.
Just wanted an idea of what to expect pricing wise (not including the extra for import).
There's always Tokitowahahahahahaha who am I kidding?

Damn... just realize I had obtained 30 followers on minus in the 2 months or so that I've started making gifs of animes and what not.
This hole is getting deep.

Ooh man, I would love to see this.
Some excerpts from his talk yesterday:The Museum of Art, Kochi is now holding a special exhibition "The World of Yamamoto Nizo" covering more than 30 years of Nizo Yamamoto's anime background works from April 14 to June 3. To celebrate the start of the event, Yamamoto himself was invited and his talk session and autograph session were held yesterday.
I wouldn't bother until they have a collection.
Also, if you're in the US, I would assume shipping to be murder since it is from the US to here.
That said generally speaking I rather like Madman, and not just because they're the only guys out here for most everything. Even though they have a virtual monopoly here, they're smart enough to realise the market is far too small in Australia to totally gouge.

I bet Goro prefers Miyazaki the boss to Miyazaki the father.

Yeah, that's the impression I've been getting for awhile. The stories folks have to tell can get rather nuts.
Well, since Miyazaki the father is a non-existent figure, that wouldn't take much.

If MadMan ends up as the only non-Japanese distributor for me after "a while", I don't mind high shipping.
As for the collection thing, yeah depending on how they split it, I'll probably have to wait for one anyways. Doesn't hurt to hear about some of the pricing though.
Level 5 is keeping them alive.
But Level-5's next.
Where is that quote where Oshii talks about the difference between working for Miyazaki and working for him?
Also, if Tomino is George Lucas...
...is Miyazaki Steve Jobs....and Takahata Steve Wozniak?
Don't start up the "Ponyo isn't really a movie" thing again.

edit: Damn, pizzaroll's Oshii sense must have alerted him.
Sounds like Microsoft.

Bones is keeping all the remaining mechanical animators in Japan locked away in their underground facility.
Also, Madman doesn't do dubbing or anything, so I don't know why they would pick up a series that doesn't already have a funimation release or whatever. WHat's up with that?
Ultimadrago
Member
Yeah, I'm fine with it not being dubbed. Reportedly, MadMan said they'd wait out to see if any other potential distributors were going to dub it (lol), before just releasing a subbed version. I don't know why they had it first, they co-owned the license with Bandai before they left physical anime distribution (or so I think, not very certain how these things work). Maybe Bandai had a larger initial influence in the decision.
