Haters gonna hate. Even though you haven't even watched the other documentary. I hate it when people judge something by it's cover. All of the BBC's documentaries on Japan have been ace, especially Japan: A Story of Love and Hate. I was emotionally moved after watching that.
I hope they do a follow-up in a few years. Would be wonderful to see how Naoki and Yoshie are getting on.

i don't find the idea of a 14 year old girl being famous for jumping around on a cam to music interesting at all. so why would i watch a documentary on it?

I really do facepalm myself a lot reading posts on this forum. Again, don't judge a book by it's cover. And before you get smart on me, yes it's a film and not a book, but you get what I mean. I really couldn't care less if you watched it or not anyway, I just hate it when people judge without having any knowledge of what they're talking about. The documentary could be the best thing since sliced bread for all you know, but I don't care and you don't care, so that's the end of that.
On to something new...
Thinking of starting Tentai Senshi Sunred. It'll be my first new series in like three months.
It seems like a cross between Arakawa Under the Bridge, Cromartie High School and Gintama.
By the way Neev, after you're done with One Piece forget everything else I recommended you for a while and watch Cromartie High School. It's a 26 episode comedy series set in an eccentric delinquent high school, although each episode is only 13 minutes long. If you don't like it by episode 3 you have permission to hate me. The opening is awesome too.

i know what the expression means.
essentially thats what the documentary is about. Her being famous for doing that, what she does, Some of the problems of being young etc "Reads Iplayer" Looks like i was right.
That's what these information bits are for, like the back of a book. It gives you and idea of what the book or in this case documentary is about to intice you to read/watch. Just because i don't like the sound of it dosen't mean my post is facepalm worthy. In your view its a good documentary in my view it would be a waste of an hour. It's called having an opinion.
Anyway
Durarara!! or Reborn. Not decided on which to watch next.

But you don't truly know what the book is about or what it is like until you read it, no? The blurb is there to sell the product and to get peope interested, a lot of the time it only describes a fraction of the actual picture. I never denied you an opinion, isn't it funny how you always think I have. I just simply hate it when people cast around judgements unfairly, which is what you're doing. I am sure if I said One Piece was crap because pirates are lame you'd have a thing or two to say. It's also funny how whenever I present an end to things you always insist on continuing. What a pain. I am not going to persevere with this absolutely pointless and unnecessary debate because we never see eye to eye.
Back to anime, please.Last edited by Neversoft; 14-08-2010 at 01:01 PM.

Beez are going to release Lucky Star in two box sets and it will include the OVA. They also licensed Sora no Woto, The Girl Who Leapt Through Space and Outlaw Star.

It should be more like £24.99 for all three, unless the website I am getting this news from has it wrong (which is likely).
Beez also said it is now possible to release titles in the UK the same year they are broadcast in Japan, so heres hoping for some good, quick releases in the future. Aparrently they would like to bring the Gurren Lagann movies to the UK, but have mixed feelings. No loss there, though.
Manga Entertainment licensed Eden of the East and Baccano and will release Eden in November, so it'll probably make it to the Expo in October. Baccano! will also be out in October but the RRP is £39.99. It is a 16 episode series, why is it so overpriced. Thank God for Amazon selling it for £26.99. Oh and Eden will also be released in blu-ray and the DVD version will only cost £14.99 on Amazon. That's more like it!
Some more info...
- A french company, according to BEEZ, are sitting on the UK rights for Dragon Ball Z.
- Generally if there is a UK licensee for a Blu-Ray title then USA release is Region locked.
MVM also expressed concerns with releasing blu-ray titles in the UK even though they have the rights to some. Beez seem to be of the same opinion. It seems there just simply isn't a big enough market to release anime in blu-ray in this country.
A lot of interesting news. More to come in October at the MCM Expo as well. I am glad Manga and Beez are going to be releasing Baccano! and Durarara!! respectively, I just hope they aren't too expensive at the Expo. I hope they bring down the price of the Gurren Lagann DVDs soon as well. Around £3 per episode is just too much. Anyway, at least Beez seem to be bringing some life back into the UK anime market after the demise of ADV. Unfortunately it seems nothing will happen with all the licenses we lost, at least not unless we invade America.Last edited by Neversoft; 16-08-2010 at 07:03 PM.

Can't edit but the blu-ray version of Eden of the East will retail at £34.99 but you can pre-order it on Amazon for only £17.47. At times like this I wish I had a blu-ray player.
The industry is moving in a really positive direction by releasing entire series in only one or two sets instead of up to seven individual volumes. Manga publishers are also doing the same by favouring large omnibus volumes instead of the usual 200 page book.
Plus, you wouldn't believe it but we're getting DRRR!! in October while America isn't getting it until January 2011. Let's all hold hands a rejoice.Last edited by Neversoft; 16-08-2010 at 07:10 PM.

I was in HMV in Cambridge yesterday, they had an anime section so I thought I'd check it out. They had Claymore, Champloo, and a couple more box sets like Black Lagoon which I haven't watched, but they were all £40.
Dunno what I was expecting, but I don't have £40 to spend on something I can get for free online.
Also, Avatar was in the anime section.

Most 26 episode series are £40 in stores like HMV where they actually think they can sell anime series at retail price. Hell, the Cowboy Bebop Remix Collection is £49.99 in my local HMV and Evangelion 1.11, a 90 minute movie, was £19.99 at one point. They've got a few bargins but HMV is usually a rip off.

On iPod so I'll make it blunt
24.99 is fine because amazon will likely have it for 15.9
And £40 is bad for boxsets I got claymore for 15 and champloo for 20
Hmv suck for DVDs hence why I buy online
