Last night, I finally checked out my Newtype preview disc with Magikano and The Wallflower on it. Magikano is on my To-Buy list now. It's so insane, it's good. Hearing sweet Jessice Boone doing the voice for Ayumi Mamiya is just fun. It's kind of like her Inarba voice from Valkyrie, only less restrained. The Wallflower, I may get somewhere down the road, but it's go too many bishounen fanservice for my tastes.
Also on the preview disc was a trailer for Sgt. Frog, with bits of the English dub, so ADV's got to be doing something on the show. Kanon went on my list long ago, right after I saw AIR. Maybe before then. (And I didn't even have to watch the fansubs.) With the last disc of Kurau coming out, I need to pick up the series. I'm holding off on NHK and Pumpkin Scissors for now and plan to pick up Devil May Cry. I like the games so I'll probably like the series okay. (It's not like Uwe Boll was involved! Or would the Japanese version be Yue Bollu?  )
@ Zalis116: Yeah, Geneon was a great company and licensed some wonderful shows, but they suffered from two critical flaws. Their marketing was bad and their price-points were too high in comparison to everyone else. Add in a few massive money losers and I guess I should just be happy they lasted as long as they did. Maybe ADV will eat some of their corpse and release a few of their more comedy oriented or moe-ish series. ADV seems to be doing a lot of those lately. (Which is happy time for me.) |

I'll be the first to say I can't wait for Moonlight Mile.

Same here , I loved the realism of "Planetes" and "Moonlight Mile" looks like it'll be just as good in that respects. |

http://www.animeondvd.com/forum/showtopic.php?tid/26580/ Although I am not 100% sure if this is finalized. I certainly hope it's not. Edit: I just read through the thread and an industry rep said that was not the cover. They will be using the original R2 Covers.

ADV has solicited it again as a 39.98, multidisc set for January 2008 in last months Diamond Previews, but it looks like that's not popped up on preorder sites yet. Not really sure what's going on with that..... but it looks like work is continuing on the show, and we'll see it sometime in 2008. Releasing such a long show takes a lot of planning, to ensure it's feasible to release, and available in a fashion that'll please fans, while also making a profit. |

If you check CD Japan, several of the listings mention re-edited episodes, so it's a good chance that ADV has gotten the "director's cut" given that's usually what happens. It'd be nice to see the R2 artbox art used somewhere.... I imagine ADV will use the preview art for Vol.1 seen on AoDVD somewhere [Venus Verus Virus's looks to have popped up on it's artbox] |

It wasn't a case of a low-budget episode, they'd actually gotten in a separate guest art director to do the episode. But after the backlash over the change in style (and the whole 2chan/serious business thing) they scrapped the plan to have other guest directors do other episodes, and kept with the same art style. The episode wasn't 'fixed' in the R2J release, so I doubt it'll be 'fixed' in the R1 release.
Also, I'm definitely looking forward to Project Blue Earth SOS. Hypersonic lightning-shooting jet fighters + reel-to-reel tape recorders = retro-future awesome. |

Ah, I was going to say that didn't look like vol. 1 cover art judging by who's actually on the cover. More than likely that'll be used as a poster, either in stores or as a con freebie. Nice to hear they're using the R2 DVDs, but with nine or 10 R2 releases and around seven R1 releases I have to wonder if we'll see some reversible covers so we don't miss out on any. Emerje |

The way episode 4 looks was completely intentional, and it was not changed for the dvds. |

Don't you mean Keroro Gunsō the totally non-kiddish action/drama? |

Even if that's not the cover, I'd be horrified if that's the final version of the logo. It looks absolutely wretched, especially when there's already a much superior English logo already: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/06/Gurren-english.png |

The listing has GL as 100 minutes. Although that might change, it looks like we'll be getting 4 episodes on the first disc, and possibly 7 discs total. That box art isn't that bad, but it looks like it's not final, so who knows. What I'm really hoping they do a good job for is the artbox.
What a waste of such a good looking series. I can't understand how anyone would be content watching a series on Youtube. The only times I've ever resorted to that is when I'm watching a series on TV and then happen to miss an episode. But otherwise, I would never do that. |
