I couldn't find a cinema close enough to see this, so I pre-ordered the the DVD. This morning I was wondering whether it would come this morning or on Monday and as I walked downstairs to have my breakfast I saw this package on the floor and knew what it was.
So I watched this film and I can't even explain how I felt at the end of the film. I peronally feel tha this is better than the orignal film, though this could be I was in the mood for a thoughtful film.
is this one of those philosopical animes?
Well the films most certianely. And I suppose the TV series as well, though the TV series version has slightly more action and stuff.
It does seem that most japanese aime are all about robots for some unkown reason.
I blame Tezuka myself.....
But its always interesting to contemplate how Japanese society would have gone if they had made SF that was anti robot like the americans...
Considering you were spot on with your recommendation of Sin City, Im gonna try and see if I can get my hands on Ghost in the Shell 2.
and Ronin, arent you glad Japanese society didnt go anti-robot?
I didnt think much to the first. I remember that there was a lot of hype about GITS but ive seen a lot better anime.
Dont know how I would feel about watching a sequel.

Dont know how I would feel about watching a sequel.I rather love the sequal, it's just different to the orginal and the music is just sublime. I just watched it and was just thinking about what stuff. The serieses 1st Gig and 2nd Gig are as good as the films, nothing to do with the films, thank god, but just equally as good. My workmate isn't keen ont he GITS 2 but has bought it anyway.
Im just waiting for the first film.
it was only £3.20 inc post so I couldnt say no
The first film was on ITV4 on Freeview several weeks ago Romin.
I dont have a telly.
It arrived today. I may watch it, if I feel brave enough. (Akira blew my mind)
You only seen Akira recently Ronin? Wow that was the first Anime I ever bought 
I love it!
I love it!
My workmate loves Akira and wants to call his child (if and when that is) Akira Boyden.

I was shown Akira by an anime buff when it first came out.
I have a COMPUTER for watching DVDs
(Id like projector but cannot afford it)
If you want a second hand one I could probably get one from work, though it might be "on the fritz" as it were.

Akira was my first Anime after BOTP and Goldorak. Hmmm, guess that makes it my third. But it was the first one I watched knowing that it was anime. It was very powerful -- I hated it strongly. Some of the things it does turn me off even when done by my favourite authors. But, I can certainly see why it's considered a great movie.

I have never heard of this but it sounds like it would be a pretty cool thing to see.
Cool isn't the word for it and I don't think there is.
Feel free to elaberate. I'm interested.
Its a box you get that you can attach to your telly and you will be able to receive all the free digital channels available.
My girlie has one 
What was I saying?
Cep, where would you find one or would it have to be outside of the US?
Also Metaliant why would you wonder what your saying?
I'm confused as to whether we are discussing an anime or a box attached to a tv? Not that I have a problem with either one I'm just a little lost is all.
Oh its only in England as far as I can tell, GG

Can I take 50/50.
As for the Freeview box for the telly, then I think Cep is right, but also you can have a Freeview box attached to a PC and watch all the normal and digital free channels on
Sometimes I wished that I lived in a different country. Are the ones for computers only in England too? If so then I really want to be there instead some days. So many things out there that I haven't even heard of yet. Good to be talking to people in other parts of the world then.

I'm not a cookie eater right now so it won't let me go there. Have to change something around so I can visit, thanks!
Why in blazes would I want a thing that puts TV on my computer? I have an internet connection already.
Strange, I just tried it and it worked. I was hoping that it would be a link but it just says Click Here.
Very strange.
