  1. Past hour
  2. OK, these are super cool. I appreciate you making me aware of them.
  3. May it stay that way. Hollywood's track record with anime is so bad that all I can do is celebrate the demise of a project like this. The odds of it being another dumpster fire like Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Evolution, or Speed Racer are far higher than the odds of them producing anything watchable.

  5. Here's where it ended up going and some other retro eye candy.
  6. Added MUSHA with the display collection up top with some of my other favorites.

  9. I think you nailed it there. The modern look just doesn't work with this particular story.
  10. This may create a fever dream of possibilities in Hollywood. Someone might be thinking, "now's our chance.." I was never too excited over the live action idea. Between the manga and the anime. It's as good as it could ever be. IMO. But the wasteland of creativity in the film industry surely has some execs pondering the renewed potential. Whether we like it or not.
  11. Never interested in the anime, but having it go back to the original publisher could be the best thing. I think it would do better in the smaller Japanese market where there would be far more of a fan-base. Bringing it over here just got it lost amid the Hollywood Shuffle. Plus, if it was made here, you'd probably have another Ghost in the Shell, with its divisive reception.
  12. Great Simon Furman's Ghost Akira is dead! https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/akira-rights-up-for-grabs-warner-bros-1236299695/?fbclid=IwY2xjawLMwmRleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFZb1ZiS2t4c1VyZUNxQWRTAR7d7iQowLz4NPWx2CS6KSNHJC5AzEK-aUsRCJCetxp4W_VD6GbnA8ICeCXukQ_aem_xyAcdIkEBFMMSv73skIe6w
  13. I wonder if BBTS is taking any hit from this shipment in terms of an import tax?
  14. It’s gonna be tough to get the look since most anime these days looks too clean. The old one had a gritty look that helped sell the apocalyptic feel. As far as story, I think that’s really gonna be up to the writers. One thing I’ve noticed with a lot of these retro shows making comebacks or reboots is that the majority don’t feel like they were worth the trouble and that the original often is still the better choice. But sometimes it’s still fun to see them try.
  15. Lucky. I haven't received my Zentraedi figure or 1/12 Max.
  16. Got a very nice assortment of artbooks, manga, and LNs today! At some point in the future, I'd love to scan some of this, the 30 artbook and Nyan Dora especially. Alto Meets Sky is gorgeous enough that it /has/ to be shared. Unfortunately, I don't have proper scanning equipment, and I'd also ideally like to find second copies of them to take apart. For now, they'll be personal treasures. I'm very excited to have a copy of Wired Warrior, included in the short story collections!

  17. The "Nome" theming might also be a connection drawn to everyone's favorite (mine, at least) Galactic Fairy?
  18. here's the new McD-jpn nostalgia-bait ad using at least three beloved 80's anime series... https://x.com/McDonaldsJapan/status/1938416994446958647 web-translated: here's the direct link to the video if you prefer... edit: apparently coz it's the 100th anniversary of the Showa era in Japan this year...
  19. Looks like if you ordered from BBTS you will be getting the figure.
