News ADV gets Gasaraki (unofficially)

Legal department slips
ADV Films' newest aquisition, the hit WOWOW TV series Gasaraki, wasn't supposed to be announced for a while yet, but ADV's legal enforcement team allegedly accidentally let the cat out of the bag when threatening a fansub distributor carrying an unsubtitled version of the show.
The fansubber, which wished to remain anonymous, told ANN that a simple request that it be removed would have served the same purpose (without getting nasty), but it is general knowledge that the "Cease & Desist" letter is standard operating procedure for most commercial companies.
Doubt of the unofficial announcement then made its way onto rec.arts.anime.misc, where the typical anger and chaos followed.
An emergency "official" announcement is expected next week.

Sailor Moon GN 4While the story still has its logical flaws, it remains an engaging read that holds up well despite the passing of years and this volume continues to keep up both the promise and nostalgia of Takeuchi's masterwork.
Pokemon Movie: Black Dub.DVD
Overall, neither Pokemon the Movie: Black or its White counterpart really stands out from the already packed herd. While not terrible, these are films that can be safely left alone unless you or your child have a compulsion to truly catch 'em all.

Medaka Box Episodes 1-6 Streaming
It turns out that the great NisiOisin/Gainax collaboration is just another mission-of-the-week comedy. Sad, that. And boring.
Hiiro no Kakera Episodes 1-6 Streaming
Hiiro no Kakera is by no means a terrible show...it just isn't a very good one, either. With a stilted script and a team of heroes who feel incompetent, not to mention cookie cutter characters who do little to make themselves endearing or unusual, it does nothing to elevate itself above the masses.
Bodacious Space Pirates Episodes 7-12 Streaming
Like the pirate she is, Marika is chasing space treasure this time around. At six episodes this arc is twice the size of any previous arc, but it fairly flies by. Not great, but darned fun.
Space Brothers Episodes 1-6 Streaming
As much a series about having dreams and struggling to fulfill them as it is about the wonder of space and the human urge to explore the unknown.
Mushishi DVD 2The second installment of the best anime currently in release. So achingly beautiful that it gives chills, it's more of what the first volume offered, which is a very, very good thing.
