Watch it with the commentary. It's hilarious. Changes the whole perspective of the film. Blah! Gotta disagree here. The End of Eva (and Death & Rebirth) commentary with the ADV people is one of the worst things I've ever heard. Amanda Winn & company are so clueless not just with respect to ...

From an animation standpoint, anime peaked in the 1980's with me. Looking at the character designs on a show like Gundam Seed or Gundam Seed Destiny where every single character looks exactly the same except for their hair color dissappoints me tremendously. I long for the old days where designers l...

Well, that's your opinion. Personally, I think that the 3-in-1 Asuka theory makes a lot of sense, or at least as much sense as anything in the mind-@#$% that is any of the Evangelion endings does. No, its a theory with no facts behind it, merely misconceptions. Brendan Jamieson does a great job deb...

(In reference to the Director's Cut episode 23 Angel briefly turning into all the other angels as it dies) That sort of answer is just an easy way out. It was added specifically to the directors cut, and I just find it hard to believe its just for artistic purposes. Well not everything in Eva has a...

I got lucky finding my copies a number of years ago at a Suncoast Video. The dub blew my mind when I saw it though, after sitting through a TV series dub that was done so well. Ironically enough, for a rather poor dub, the Gundam movies actually were dubbed by Animaze, which is arguably the best dub...

They already have been dubbed. I just don't think that it was ever released on DVD. If you can find the VHS versions, then you'll be able to get the dub that way.

I thought it was a very good show. It's probably about the most complex show out there, even more so than Evangelion and Lain. The price of US grain exports is a major plot point infact, which is quite unique (and strange for a anime of this genre I'd say @_@) Although I can see the complexity certa...

Indeed, even if I don't think the show itself is amazing, the opening certainly is a great one :lol:

Tomino's a big favorite of myself as well (after all, I did review three of his series here at this site :P). I'll assume that you've seen all his Gundam stuff. I personally still have to see Gundam ZZ and Victory Gundam. Original Gundam, Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack were nothing short of am...

Angel's Egg
Serial Experiments Lain
While most of the narrative is pretty normal, there are certain scenes with the main villain from Key the Metal Idol that are quite "out there".
The final 10 minutes of Ideon: Be Invoked :P

May be too late now, but may as well throw my opinion in as the one who reviewed both series for MAHQ. Both shows are quite good. From a sheer quality standpoint though, there's a clear winner - L-Gaim is the better show. Dunbine isn't a bad show, but it does hit a rut in the second half of the seri...
