Okay, so I got my newest batch of imports today. Loads of stuff, VOTOMS, Patlabor, Dragonball, Desert Punk..
I've started watching the first volume of the first Patlabor TV boxset.
It's a lot more slapstick than the movies, but it's still quite fun. While the dub isn't as good as the movies (Or I'm more used to Manga's dub... I dont know which.) it's still pretty good, and keeping with the characters.
God I love me some retro anime. |

| Finished watching Gunslinger Girl last night. I'm glad I got it - it was worth it! (wasn't that much of a tearjerker - online hype loses!) |

Your heartless!
Saw the 5th volume of Negima, somehoew the anime condenses a plot arc that took up 2 whole manga volumes (+ a bit in another volume) into 2 eps!
And it still made sense O_O

I am currently watching she the ultimate weapon. I have just finished watching the first 4 episodes and am really enjoying it. Has anyone else seen this series and what do they think of it?
I also started watching some of the studio ghibli collection that my partner got me for xmas. I really loved everything about Laputa castle in the sky. |

Rounded off the holiday with:
Totoro.
The Cat Returns, again, I like to watch films twice close together.
Kiki
So that's 7 Ghibli's in 10 days. Hmm, I may have a problem. |

I watched the first two episodes of Bincho-tan, it was so sweet/cute/adorable that it made me cry. About a tiny girl who lives in a forest, this is really an experience drama - no action here, well she rides on the back of a duck and gets a 'bus ride' from a bird. So cute, you might like it if you like Kamichu.

To update on my current watching habits I finished Super GALs Season1 and now am on something completely different working my way through Elfen Lied again.

Saikano is awsome, a really powerful if melodramatic series, it's one of the few series I got so wrapped up in a watched all 13 episodes alomst back to back.

Finished watching Le Portrait de Petite Cossette last night, which was...
Interesting.
Okay, I'm not a fan of horror at the best of times, and overdosing on cliche doesn't help either.
But still, there was a nice twist, and it looks and sounds gorgeous.

Hmm *nods nods* it did have soem pretty funky visuals goping on in places, very trippy, I could do witha rewatch for plot though as I got distracted with the visuals.
speaking of horror I finished off Elfen Lied yesterday, gawd that show is full of monsters and not just Lucy/Nana most of the humans are pretty horid in it too, even Kohta is violent and aggressive when he wants to be. And those spolierbrats who killed young Lucy's dog/spolier - but they got what they deserve.

Been watching some low attention span shows lately. Had a great time watching Airmaster 1 and Tenjho Tenge 3.
It's a shame Airmaster's release was never completed as it's really fun.  At least I've stll got volume 2 to get through. (intend to order Tenjho Tenge 4 soon as it's at a good price on play.com) |

Boogiepop Phantom 1-3.
Very strange so far and a lot of similarities stylewise to SE Lain as has been mentioned by others. |
