    The UK does have a collectors edition though through Anime Limited, which is also available in America through Crunchyroll store. It's not cheap but it has both versions in it. I know because I own it lol.

    I'd argue that One Piece is proof that it is possible for there to be such thing as a western anime adaptation that respects the source material. It's very much the exception that tests the rule that western anime adaptations are awful. Of course, it was always going to have issues because One Piece is so incredibly weird that there were always going to have to be some significant compromises to make it work with living actors. About the best we can reasonably hope for from Hollywood is something like Alita: Battle Angel which plays fast and loose with the original story in order to essentially speedrun the most iconic moments in a single two-hour span. You only get that if there are superfans involved, though. The far more likely fate is a western "creative" trying to give their own new interpretation of the work and turning it into a dumpster fire that proves they missed the point completely. Akira would probably have ended up a generic sci-fi monster movie like what they did to Doom twice.

    Hey, that looks great!

    Yeah, I searched on both the likely romanizations and the kana string itself for quite a while. Not a string with a lot of plausible results, though... unless Ukyo Kodachi is really into tapas. Emhain Abhlach (pronounced Ah-win) is certainly an alternative, though not one I'm sure fits the story... or the kana if we're being honest. It is a mythical island paradise... but in keeping with the usual themes of magical and otherworldly locales in Irish mythology and folklore, it's one of those places where Time Works Differently and You Can't Go Home Again. Emhain Abhlach is your standard Land of Plenty and Ease where mortal wealth is so abundant to have lost all value, with abundant food and water that needs no human labor to cultivate or maintain, and of course a population of... how can we put this politely?... "welcoming" women. The catch being that, when you leave, you discover that you've been gone for hundreds of years and will instantly age those hundreds of years the minute you get off the boat. It doesn't seem to have any meaningful connection to the tropically-themed ocean resort ship in Macross the Ride. That's the one I hit on as a likely suspect. Evna is a beautiful town near the Nonestic Sea in the Land of Ev, which is under the corrupt influence of a malevolent industrial capitalist autocrat (the Nome King) who rules his domain through an industrial monopoly, treats his own people as borderline slave labor, and actively conspires to oppress people in other lands. The resort ship Evna belongs to the Macross Galaxy fleet, and has a Galaxy corporation secret factory in its sublevels, meaning it's a beautiful seaside community ruled from underground by malevolent industrial capitalist autocrats (the cyber-nobles) who treat their own people as slave labor and want to oppress other nations similarly. Some commentary from Kodachi would be nice.

    I’d definitely suggest the anime for alita. It’s kinda quick but unfortunately never gets too far into the story, but it looks great and you could actually do an anime watch and then the movie to get more of the story as a kind of double feature to check out the differences. The manga is great as well, but I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. I’d love a sequel to the movie as well though

    Those look awesome!

    I haven't watch either anime originals of GitS or ABA, but I really liked both movies on their own merit. Still awaiting that sequel to Alita...

    I made my peace with their release strategy a few years ago...

    Was hoping to finally see it put together

    I still kinda like the Ghost in the Shell movie, although that’s a bit flawed as well, and the Battle Angel Allita movie might be the best I’ve seen. I wouldn’t pick either of those over their anime adaptations though, but those are probably the best examples, although I also don’t think they were super successful at the box office.

    Hahaha.

    Are you gonna build it. That’s the one I’ve never actually seen built, I always see the Imai/Bsndai, but never the Arii

    Stickers from Honda Shop Kotake. I think.

    You should get the new Hasegawa version to build and have a Glaug family. Maybe get the nichimo one as well for the baby

    I wonder if they will ever open general ticket sales? Though I guess this is very popular due to the number of live viewings.
