Heh. You do have a point there, Richard. It's better to be optimistic, I suppose.

Been waiting for some Gurren-Lagann and ofcourse the delicious KyoAni Kanon. <3

Speaking of Gurren-Lagann, perhaps I should give it another chance once it starts coming out in English. I do prefer dubs after all. I dropped the series after watching the "next episode preview" at the end of episode seven.

Hmm, if Magikano Vol. 2 is "Witch Hunt," I'm betting that Vol. 3 will be something like "Witch Trials" or "Which Witch?" or maybe "Burn the Witch"
 Nice to see Kanon getting the monthly treatment and an artbox. I saw one episode of TTGL at a con in June, and to be honest I wasn't too impressed by it. The FLCL/Abenobashi - style designs just didn't sit right with the "serious" story to me. Maybe I saw that infamous episode 4 that wasn't completely animated when it aired. But between that and the ridiculous oversubbing that went on (without one group that I knew or trusted involved), I didn't feel the need to DL any more of it. So maybe I'll give it a chance when the DVDs are all out with translations I can trust.

Heh, I don't know that I would go that far, but definitely look forward to watching it when it hits DVD (hopefully volume 2, but I bet they'll drop to three episodes after volume 1). It defines the phrase "emotional rollercoaster". In a sense it also somewhat defines the series as a whole. Emerje |

It seems like ADV's been avoiding the dreaded 3-episode disc lately; their stated plans have been to release 12-13 episode shows on 3 discs, and 24-26 episode series on 6 discs. I understand TTGL has a rather odd 27 episodes...I'm banking on a 7-disc 4-4-4-4-4-4-3 release. Dropping to 3 eps at disc 2 would probably imply an 8-disc release, and I don't think ADV's crazy enough to try that. Even though it worked so well for Geneon on shows like Tenjou Tenge and Stellvia...oh wait.

Well they could still do a 6 DVD release if they do
5-5-5-4-4-4 A lot of companies have been releasing DVDs with 5 episodes on them lately (though usually it is 2 DVDs with 5 episodes not 3) While I am not so happy about the supposed DVD cover (seen on AOD) I am ecstatic that Gurren Lagann is finally being released over here. I can't wait to get the series on DVD. Edit: Although it looks like the first DVD might only be 100 mins so that would be 4 episodes.

I put in a pre-order for volume #1 of Kanon the day its release was announced, so needless to say I will be jumping right on volume #2 + the artbox. I'm not as big a fan of Gurren-Lagann as a lot of people here appear to be, but that's mainly due to my general disinterest in mecha and shounen-action series. That said, I actually found Gurren-Lagann to be a solidly entertaining series - pretty high praise from me for a show of its type - and I'll be buying the DVD.
Only other series I see here that is a certain "will buy" is Magikano. It isn't a great series but I was amused enough to watch the whole run on fansubs, so I pretty much feel obligated to buy as a matter of personal principle. I'll wait until I can get a good discount, though. We tanuki may have principles, but we aren't crazy. OK, maybe some of us are.

Kanon is yay, I was able to catch a pre-order of volume 2 in the current TRSI sale. However, GL was meh, too brainless for me to buy.

If they use a 4 episode count per disk for TTGL,that'll of course mean that volume 1 will end with the now infamous episode 4 (the very one that forced a couple of Gainax high-ups to resign).
What a way to finish a dvd on a bum note. |

Yeah, seems like there's only 4 episodes on the first volume. Too bad the animators did not remade that painful episode. But, if they also release only 4 episodes in the remaining volumes, then volume two will end on Episode 8.
If they do a 6 DVD release, episodes 24-27 should compiled as the last volume having four episodes as this is the final EPIC arc, the remaining at 5 episodes each. If they stick with 4 eps per volume, I think it's better to end one volume at episode 15 and start the next one at 16 since this is a recap. They can also add episode 5.5 so that all the volumes have 4 episodes each. |

I guess that sounds about right, though hopefully if the last volume is three episodes they'll throw us a couple freebies on the disc like staff interviews and Japanese commercials. It's actually been a while since I've bought an ADV DVD, the majority of shows I bought this year were from either Bandai or Geneon. Who knows what next year will look like.
Where exactly did you see the cover? Looked all over AOD and couldn't find it.
Yeah, but it seems to be unavoidable. Maybe they could do a little ad-lib on the preview of episode five to point out that the animation picks up again. Emerje |
