I was never really into Transformers either, just at topside of target audience, but was impressed by CGI in trailer when i went to see Oceans 13, which is utter cack (was free though).

There's a new Transformers film? Wicked. There already was a Tranformers feature length cartoon, is it a remake of that ;-).

The new transformers film looks a bit shit, but that could be to do with the lack of cheese-metal in the trailer. Please let there be cheese-metal in the film!

highly recommend the above, super stylish violent manga - the title sums it up.
got a wicked soundtrack by the RZA too

Here's Empires guide to who's in and out of the transformers movie. Biggest shock I think is no Soundwave

Transformers Trailer

looks like it could be very cheesy, but the robots look excellent.

Just stumbled across this - Studio Ghibli's latest film, Tales from Earthsea is in the cinemas right now!

I have a nagging feeling that it might not be as good as I want it to be though... I have fond memories of the books and some reviews suggest that this film is a bit of a mish-mash (less of a problem if you haven't read the books)...

Anyone seen this already? I'd love to hear it was worth going to.

I saw it was out, nice to see it on a big screen. I notice it says a film by Goro Miyazaki, while all the previous ones have been by Hayao Miyazaki. I wonder what the deal is?

r-man · August 03, 2007, 05:06:49 pm

There were several mentions of that in the reviews - I think Goro is Hayao's son (though I could be getting mixed up, it was late at night when I happened across this).

Paz · August 04, 2007, 01:12:42 am

New Ghibli. Yay.

I saw the old transrormers on ITV4 and it was even better than I remembered

unclesomebody · August 04, 2007, 08:55:57 am

All Studio Ghibli films are currently £5.99 or less at HMV. Hope this helps someone.

Worth checking here first to see if it's cheaper elsewhere, although HMV often is.

I saw the first half of it yesterday, and unfortunately I've to tell you it's not very good. Actually it is crap AFAIK. If the second half is absolutely gobsmackingly awesome it's still a so-so movie. It opened to bad reviews over here in anime-land, and everyone I know who have seen it (OK not that many) is dissapointed as well..

No, and it's probably wrong to admit it, but I think the CGI in the new transformers film looks great. Although I suspect I will be going to see it alone, and be the only person over 30 in the cinema.

but a Battle of the Planets or Mysterious Cities of Gold movie.... now you're talking!

Now a Thundercats movie would be something to get excited about.

SA Chris · August 06, 2007, 10:36:19 am

Did you have the hots for Cheetara too?

Grrrrrrr

Paz · August 10, 2007, 09:06:13 pm

I'm fed up of having to justify why I never fancied any female cartoon characters as a kid. Did all you people who go on about this all the time go to private boys only boarding schools when you were young? ;-). Apart from being more interested in the plot at the time, actual girls were much nicer.

Houdini · June 02, 2008, 02:10:44 pm

Just a couple more downloads from grabbing Mamoru Oshii's Japanese-only manga called Tenshi No Tamago/(trans.) Angel's Egg. Anyone seen this?

Zods Beard · June 02, 2008, 03:52:16 pm

Check Golgoi 13 for anime assassin action.

Afro-samurai is worth checking, soundtrack by the RZA and Samuel L Jackson as the hero:

zod knows the way afro samurai is awesome one of the best western style animes i think,

Twisted fuck. I preferred when he did Morph.

butters · March 06, 2009, 07:30:35 pm

Not much to add to this apart from a firm recommendation to check out The Little Ninja - top animation!

Mrs FD bought me the box set for Christmas and I concur. There's a second series on the way by all accounts.
