In Reply to: Akira finally released on DVD - they did an excellent job posted by brewthunda on August 30, 2001 at 08:34:25:
Welllll it was pretty good but I like a lot of other stuff better (PatLabor 2 and Perfect Blue for example) Lain has sort of a stark feel to it, other parts are meant to appear like a television transmission and parts are like a dream (has kind of an eerie feel to it like Videodrome where the division between real and virtual reality blurs). At the moment I'm sort of into Urusei Yatsura (love the crazy humor and it takes 34 DVDs so it will keep me busy for a long time ^-^), Rurouni Kenshin OVAs (a.k.a. Samurai X, Trust and Betrayal), and Gasaraki. (tee-hee, just call me grandma anime ^0^)

Thanks, I'm always looking for good recommendations.I haven't really seen any that you mentioned, except Samurai X (both the series and the feature film) . . . I thought the feature film was pretty boring.
Again, thanks.
Well, since different companies released Rurouni Kenshin tv and the OAVs & movie, it might not be too apparent that you need to see about half the Kenshin tv series before the movie or you'll have no idea what's going on or who all the characters are. Check out http://www.animeondvd.com/ Chris reviews a ton of anime (and there are alternate angles submitted by readers for most things as well). I post in the forums over there under my internet name "yuzuha", but tend to hang out most in the DVD hardware and Japanese culture forums.
