And I might get the Patlabor Double Disc thingy for another £9.99.

no, I won't fear. I wasted more on books this month, and I still have 1½ bookshelf to read already...

Seriously?

Alright, let me tell you about this awesome new-fangled thing invented by Al Gore, its called the Interweb. You can surf porn and play games and, uh, surf porn. Oh and, learn how to do Flash without paying a cent.

try spoono.com ; they're a good hub for tutorials. Plenty of links and their forums are A1 SUPAR

Spirited Away sucked.

Akira as well (if you're judging it by my standards, which aren't yours, don't write me a letter)

Ghost in the Shell = :yes: :yes:

Didn't see City of God

Pretty much no extras on Akira.

There's the original 4:3 version of the film on one disc and the remastered 16:9 widescreen version on the other.

By my standards, yep.

They weren't crap, they were "okay" - but still a waste of my time.

that kinda sucks actually. Couldn't they have put that documentry on there or somethin' ?

Oh yeah, that piccy with the bike at the top and Kanda at the bottom (walkin' toward his bike) now occupies one of my walls. Found it in HMV last week.:yes:

I guess so, I'm not to bothered as the story Akira puts forth was very good indeed. The animation may not be top notch by todays standards but it's still a well put together piece.

Interesting to hear about the poster... I love that image but could never find it in a "large" size...I'll be checking HMV out ASAP apparently...

it's got Pioneer Entertainment written along the bottom so it's not of the original release. Still cool though.

I actually prefer subtitled anime if anyones interested. Though I liked Kaneda having the same voice as Leonardo from Ninja Turtles.
