Tezuka In English Discussion Forums

This is sort of silly, but I thought a thread where we can list the 'hot new releases' we're excited about might be fun. Doesn't need to be manga or anime by any means, but just whatever you've been chomping at the bit to get your hands on.

Anyway, April is exciting for me:

Twin Peaks volume 2 DVD set (4/3) -- about freaking time!

Planet Earth complete series DVD set(4/24) -- word is the US set will retain attenborough's original narration (cross your fingers)

WKRP vol. 1 DVD set (4/24) -- complete nostalgia, if you weren't there, don't bother.

To Terra vol. 2 (4/24)

Eh, Apollo's song isn't out til June, and MW not until October, so those will be a bit longer...

Well anyway, I have alot to buy in April.

End of March:
- Fist of the North Star (PS2 import)

April:
- To Terra Volume 2
- JoJo's Bizarre Adventure "Volume 7" (not really Volume 7, but it is for Viz's releases, since they skipped the first 11 volumes and all but the very end of Volume 12)
- Ah! My Goddess Volume 26
- Path of the Assassin Volume 6
- All Star Superman #7

May:
- Sansho the Bailiff (R1 Criterion DVD)

Thats all I can think of for now.

Add:

BBC's Galopagos special (4/3) DVD. Haven't seen all of it but seems to be very high quality.

Whoops, forgot to mention that volume 5 of The Drifting Classroom will be released in mid-April. I still need to get volume 4, though.

Totally there for the new JoJo. Can't wait- I got the game, so I already know basically what happens, but....

Whenever they get around to releasing the 4th volume of Shutterbox, and the 8th volume of Hellsing... They're incredibly behind. Hellsing is WAY past that point, and the miniseries was up to chapter six last I checked...

Oh lord, my part-time boyfriend LOVES Hokuto no Ken. Personally, I can't take the machismo minus any possible redeeming values [Say, the Stand system, lots of rock music references, a hot vampire dude, mythology things] that I happen to have glimpsed so far.

On a separate note, I'm still trying to come up with a reason why I don't watch Prince of Tennis, other than 'I actually play tennis and won't be able to stand screaming at the TV screen for a half hour from inconsistencies'.

That kind of thing.

On another note, I actually did like Dana from The L Word as much as I could, considering I didn't think she was cute and she sucked at being a lesbian.

Wait, what?
