3 weeks of the digital revolution have passed. So now would be a good time as any to ask. Which one would you like to see licenced?

Personally, I think Druaga is a hoot. The opening episode was hilarious, while the subsequent eps are developing into quite a nice story.

Blassreiter looks like every other action anime that Gonzo has made in the last few years, but even more mediocre. Frankly. right now, I'm just watching it because it's new. I don't particularly feel like watching it again afterwards.

I've not actually watched either. They don't really interest me. Just because it's free doesn't make it an instant watch Smile

I've not seen them but would like to seen them both on DVD as otherwise I probably won't end up watching them!

I've bookmarked the pages on youtube but haven't gotten round to watchign them yet, i will I'm just grown to dislike watching anime on my PC I'd rather get DVD's in the long run.

Here's somethign from bizzaro world, a friend in teh real world was sited commenting that he'd read many "fans" don't like them free on sites like youtube bacuse the episodes are/were split into ten minute chunks, not only did that baffle me, but the first time I searched and found them on youtube they were both the full 23+minute runtimes.

I mean WTF seriously?

Episode 5 of Druaga is well worth a watch. It's hilarious, and I haven't laughed so much at an anime for weeks. It's the RPG anime, and they're at the magic maze point of their quest. Littered in this maze are little glass balls, that if you step on them, they cause you to transform randomly for a while. Causing a whole lot of grief in the process.

There are a lot of 2D NES graphics balls, which gets the animators out of doing complex battle sequences. There is a furry transformation ball. And the gender swap curse is hilarious.

I seriously hope this one gets licenced for DVD in the West.
