Okay, it’s been a while since I’ve talked about anime here
(it’s been a while since I’ve really talked about a lot of things here, but
that’s beside the point) so I thought I’d share some information on some of the
series’ that are coming soon to Blu-ray and DVD. As you might know I like to
support the American companies that license anime and bring them state-side and
the best way to do that is to buy the stuff that they release so I’m gonna help
spread the word on some awesome series’ that will soon be available.
First up is Bakemonogatari. Aniplex of America is going to
be releasing the complete series on Blu-ray in late November, the set is going
to include all 15 episodes with English subtitled (no dub, sorry dub fans) and
it’ll also come with a 36-page art book! It’s pretty pricey ($150 usd, yikes!)
but I really liked this series and hopefully Aniplex will get the sequel series
Nisemonogatari later this year. /support
Next is the Hellsing Ultimate sets by Funimation. The first set is already out and contains volumes 1 through 4 in a DVD/BD combo
pack! The second set, containing 5 through 8, will be out mid-November and will
also be in DVD/BD combo pack. Also they have both dub and sub so everyone wins!
I personally haven’t seen Hellsing Ultimate, but I’ve heard great things so I
decided to grab it and check it out. /support
Let’s see, how about Bodacious Space Pirates! Early next
year (read January) Sentai Filmworks is going to release the first half of the
Bodacious Space Pirates BD set, it’ll have the first 13 episodes and it’s in
both English and Japanese (so sub and dub). I really liked this show,
other-wise why would I buy it, right? /support
Another Sentai title in early 2013 is going to be a BD
release of Fate/Stay Night. It’ll only be the first half of the series (sub
and dub) but hopefully this re-release is a sign that Fate/Zero will be making its
way to the States eventually (without the $300+ import price). Also, as a side
note, I haven’t seen this series either, but taking the risk and buying a new
series is part of the fun! /support
Okay last one for today is Penguin Drum, another great
grab by Sentai. It’s another Blu-ray “Collection One” so it’ll only have the
first 12 episodes, but they’ll have both subs and dubs and, let’s not forget,
it’s Penguin Drum. This show is a great watch and if you haven’t seen it I’d
recommend checking it out. /support
Well then, if spending money to support the market isn’t
your thing and you decided to just skip past all of that, I suppose you might
be reading this now, right? Right? Anyway as I mentioned in my first ramble
this month World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria has been sucking up almost all
of my free time since its release on the 25th of September, luckily for me I’ve
started to get back into the usual swing of things and I have finally started
to even-out how I spend my free time. It’s not much (yet) but I have been
slowly chipping away at my back-log of anime (both old and new, but mostly the
new) and I finally finished three shows from last season and I caught up on two
more that are currently running! I also started working on “Titan” again, but
that’s for the next ramblegraph. Hopefully by this time next month I’ll be all
caught up on my anime back-log, I’ll have finally finished the book that I am
currently reading (and hopefully RightStuf has another book sale so I can buy the
complete series of Haruhi Suzumiya and Spice and Wolf) and hopefully I’ll have
kept up with my dailies in Warcraft and have all of the new factions capped
out. But one can only hope…
Alrighty then, I think that this ramble is turning out to be
quite a well-written mess, don’t you think? All that’s left for today is a
visit to “The Creator’s Corner” and our exiting statements (which will be
correctly written this time). So it’s been quite a while since “RE:Inspiration;
Titan II” was published and made available for you to read (if you haven’t yet
read it, but do want to read it you can find it for free here). Last week I
said that Charles was a big problem in developing “TIII” which is and/or was
true, I’ve played around with his personality, explored his past and tried to
imagine what someone in his position would act like. All in all I think I’ve
come to understand Charles a bit better and this will make writing him a bit
easier. Now a problem that I’ve run into is the action scenes. In the two
previous installments of “Titan” there wasn’t very much action, in fact most of
the action in the two combined was at the end of “TII” and that was only a
short bit. I guess the main problem that I am having is with the speed of the
action scenes. I know that in any situation a scene filled with action is going
to fly by compared to a scene with lots of dialogue but they just seem to be
going by too fast in “TIII” so that’s the next hurdle I have to over-come as I
work on “Titan III”. But don’t fret, I am still working on it, in fact I just
recently started another draft, so we’re all one step closer to finding out
what happened in the sewers of Titan City!
And we’re done. I know, it’s like them actiony scenes and it
just goes by too quick, but hey I actually put some time into this one! I feel
like these exit ramblegraphs are empty now, especially since I am no longer
doing “Rambler versus the World” and “Semajj’s Bookshelf” so, I’ll try to keep
an eye open for a new little gimmick to add here at the end, but for now I’ll
just throw out a shout-out to the /AMP/ YouTube channel: AnimeMOTs. If you’re
interested in reading /AMP/ but just don’t have the time, you can check out our
YouTube page where we upload new videos (pretty-much) weekly! And now for our
Song of the Week:
That’s right, this week’s Song of the Week is the Star Wars
theme, flashmob style, and I think it’s a pretty cool video plus an awesome
cover of the song! Anywho, with that I’ll have to seal it up and ship it out,
so if you’ve got any comments, questions, tips or concerns you can leave a
comment below or leave me a message at Semajj07@gmail.com. May the forks be
with you! Wait, what?
