Yeah, the AMG film is quite good. Wasn't to keen on the original OVAs though. I don't think I've got around to watching the newer OVAs.
I've yet to see the new OVA's are they actually any good?
Also, Utena set 1 arrived yesterday![]()
As i understand it the TV series is a reboot/remake of the original OVAs so they're not really worth it. But it's almost kinda freaky how they did the movie first, then the TV series, but if you watch it the other way round then it works so completely seemlessly that it's if the movie was made after the TV series!
Actually to be fair, I find a lot of JC Staff's work that I've seen similar with a few exceptions; all are reasonably decent (average or better) and watchable, but often not stand out, with a couple of notable exceptions like Toradora! For some reason they also seem to be quite good (at picking?) likeable Tsundere's as main characters in some of thier shows, who have a touch more depth than the stock variety (Shana, Mikoto and Taiga come to mind).
[Oh that and they have somewhat of a reputation for anime only endings and characters that don't work as well as the original material; but hey, they're limited by what they can work with to some extents so I can forgive them this one, it's not often an adaptation is up the quality of an often much-loved original source]
I always watch series after they're done, so I've not touched anything from this season yet, but those two, amongst others, are already on my list to check out next season![]()
I'm going away for a week in the sun next Friday, so likely going to watch something short once I finish Yumekui so I have a chance to finish it. Might try Myself, Yourself which I remember Andi recommending a while back.
Ipad is a bit/read a lot more than i am prepared to spend on something whose primary purpose for me is to read manga on
I went from a laptop to a net book for the reduction in weight but it is still a bit awkward to use for reading.I like the portrait view when reading and all of a page in one view so want a 10" screen
Looks like I will have to wait a while longer till they bring out the dual core tablets and the single core ones drop in price then![]()
