Only anime series I've watched are Bleach, Naruto, Fairy Tail, and Basilisk.
Welcome! :D You should just watch Neon Gen, I think at least 90% of the people I know that watch anime have at least watched that once.Quote:

I haven't actually read the whole thread, but if you haven't watched the Kenshin OVAs and the Hellsing OVAs then you haven't watched anime!
Also Neon Gen is the most freaken confusing anime EVER... Also Akira... Actually there are a lot of them, but Neon Gen wins in my book!
I think i watched Evangelion 3 times before i fully understood what was going on.
I had the same problem with Ghost In The Shell, had to watch the English dub because the dialogue was so descriptive I lost half of the action.Quote:

But then there is Stand Alone Complex and then Ghost In The Shell 2 also... Good series and good times!
But I am going to be real serious right now... Like real serious. Hellsing OVAs and Kenshin OVAs. If you haven't seen these then you NEED to get them ASAP!
dam i need to find it in the english dub.
Hellsing is just AWSOME !! wish there was more :/ or i might be missing the plot.
Only anime i watch atm is Naruto (manga and animation). Got bored of Bleach.
Any other anime thats similar to Naruto that you know of ?
You're asking for more anime in one of the most popular genres. Hundreds of choices :PQuote:

I'm looking to find if anyone knows which outlets (if any!) can get a hold of Alter and Yamato manufactured anime figures - or if manufacturer is even a problem in obtaining specific models. I already know the ones I'm looking for aren't available locally, so I'm generally looking to find who I can ask to look into ordering them.
Thanks!
If you are interested the DVD's for Hellsing Ultimate are quite cheap on amazon.co.uk at the moment £3.00 excl. Postage and import tax. Which is pretty awesome, and on the US site they have a 1-5 BD/DVD combo for about R450.Quote:

It's probably just going to be less problematic to order them straight from overseas - rather than trying to get a local retailer to order them for you.Quote:

Of course there's also Hobby Link and Hobby Japan. While I'd love to import and sell the figures locally, the only thing I'm never sure of is the local market - and then of course, since I'm not a business myself, I'd need to scrape the money for that from somewhere.
Thanks much! Both the models I'm looking for are new... in that they are getting remade for a second run.Quote:

Hobby Link has both - can you recommend their services?
Edit: Wait, hold on - I was in Hobby Link Japan. Does that matter? It certainly seems more appropriate than the Hobby Link Australian site I went just now ;P
I'm going to rewatch gundam seed... saw part of one episode and it bit me again :(
ok sweet will have a look
I'm going to guess that the pre-orders are all sold - given that there's no add to cart option - which would be there even for preorders.Quote:

I see the one figure you linked to is also available on Hobby Search but I see reservations are closed there as well and there's a waiting list.
The nice thing about all these companies is that they charge us in JPY - and I think (haven't kept an eye on it) we're slight better off in terms of exchange rate against Japan
If Only I had the money...
http://www.amazon.co.jp/s/ref=nb_sb_...OP+Blu-ray+Box
18,850.00 JPY = 2,084.33 ZAR :(
Oh yeah if anyone hasn't seen Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust then please do so... Probably my favorite Anime movie.
Damn... that guy does Niijima too well... It's creepy.Quote:

Such nostalgic bliss ^_^
I'm now waiting for my Kaichou wa Maid-sama DVDs to arrive - I think that will most probably be my final purchase for the year - but it's a pity, because Rightstuf is running some epic specials at the moment. I think I will save up for next year Thanksgiving though :)
BTOOOM! Watched the first episode, laughed so hard when the one guy died via explosives up the ass! :DQuote:

I watched it. I found it a little confusing in the beginning but it explains a lot during the anime.Quote:

HDMI cable + A GPU with a HDMI output. Trust me, it's the easiest thing to do, I just output my PC to my TV and watch all my anime like that.Quote:

But I am enjoying HSD:kenichi manga a lot more :p Damn alien :p
I'm currently going through the joys of trying to find info on all the series releasing in January :p
Vividred Operation and Da Capo III have caught my eye so far, along with the 2nd season of Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai - I still need to watch the first season of the show though.
So much catching up to do (1st world problems :3)
