    Hells yes, I love Patlabor. Never did see the third movie, but the synopsis sounds pretty lame anyway.

    Hmm, are the OVAs even available on DVD?

    The third Patlabor movie wasn't bad, persay - it's just that it was a Patlabor movie in name only (the main cast appears only once, in the climatic scene, as backup.) Otherwise, it's a well done, if a bit generic, sci-fi noir thriller.

    And no, they're not...from what I understand, the rights were in limbo for a long time, and now the material is considered too dated to localize.

    Now my question is, can anyone recommend some other good shows from that time period (Late 80s-early 90s)? OVAs are fine too, my tastes are broad so I will watch just about anything but I prefer a bit of action.

    Arbitrarily defining "late 80's-early 90's" as 1986-1994:

    Mobile Police Patlabor
    Bubblegum Crisis
    Robot Carnival
    Appleseed

    Gunsmith Cats
    Yawara! (Yawara: A Fashionable Judo Girl)

    Various Lupin III stuff
    Vampire Princess Miyu
    Record of Lodoss War
    The Hakkenden
    Here is Greenwood
    Bastard‼
    Giant Robo
    Battle Angel
    Combustible Campus Guardress
    Dragon Half
    Please Save My Earth
    Slam Dunk
    Super Dimension Century Orguss 02
    Yuu Yuu Hakusho
    Irresponsible Captain Tylor
    Blue Seed
    You're Under Arrest!
    Iria: Zeiram the Animation
    Key the Metal Idol
    Macross Plus
    Oh My Goddess!

    Man, what a nostalgia rush. Long live VHS!

    Just don't read any Battle Angel manga BEFORE you watch the OVA.

    You'll be horrifically disappointed.

    It's not that the OVA is bad, just that it sucks compared to the awesomeness of the manga.

    guys a long time ago someone posted a couple of vertical panel jokes

    one of them was someone pointing out that a doorknob looked like an "impudent penguin" and ended with a character glaring at the doorhandle thinking "impudennnnt"

    what was the name of the show there?

    I'm catching up on El Cazador de la Bruja on Funimation cause I stopped watching it in the middle back when it was first airing. It's a pretty good show so far, like Noir but not boring.

    I read Parasyte a few weeks ago and didn't think it was all that bad. Very different from most of the manga that I typically read. Anyone who hasn't read it yet should give it a shot. Just uh, be aware, it's gory.

    I have actually seen the OVA and read all the manga up to Last Order vol 13? I think..whatever the latest volume is. Definitely one of my favorite series ever.

    You're right, the OVA is good in it's own right but the fact that it doesn't include motorball means it could never compare with the manga.

    So, Summer Wars is out. Apparently the quality of the video is craptacular but the translation seems to be ok. I think I'll be waiting for the DVD version... also THORA says they're gonna do the blu-ray, whenever that is.
    Can't wait for the full HD version, Oz is crammed full of background details that got drowned out in the DVD resolution.
    Also, fun movie, I enjoyed it.

    The only bad part of Dragon Ball Kai is that it removes the episode where Goku and Piccolo learn to drive

    Which is a fucking crime

    Was reading random threads in ADTRW and came across a mention of a mango called Break Blade. The setting is a feudalistic continent where quartz-manipulating technomagic is common almost to a man, and everything runs on it, from lamps to vehicles to guns. In this setting we have an un-sorcerer guy (can't use magic) and the wartime happenings of his country (he just so happens to be college buddies with the king and queen). A large-scale war with a much, much larger country is afoot, and the un-sorcerer protagonist finds an ancient mecha not powered by quartz techno-magic in any way.

    The mech action can be pretty hard to follow at times, with mech designs being rather similar in appearance. The problem is exacerbated by low scan quality at first, but it seems to be getting better in that regard. The protagonist's mech is certainly special, but all of them squarely fall into the 'real' robot categorization. The characterization is pretty good - almost everyone so far is a reasonable adult, and acts like one. Apparently there are six volumes released in Japan already, but it has been picked up and dropped by translators more than a few times (with resulting naming convention/scan quality differences); a new group just recently grabbed it and is up to chapter 11. This means that, so long as the new group is steady, there should be a long period of quicker than normal releases until it catches up.

    On the whole, the experience so far has been rocky, but that's mainly the fault of like five different groups doing eleven chapters and the quality jumping around like a mountain goat on crack as a result; certainly not something to blame on the mango itself. It's got a ton of potential, and it seems like the author is not afraid of character death, either, which puts it miles ahead of most, in my opinion. I will definitely keep an eye on this one.
