I love anime. Specifically, series involving any of the following things: weird fantasy elements, super-powers, robots, aliens, wicked humor, crazy villains, horror, ninjas and samurai. I guess that means I like a lot of anime. I am pretty particular about the quality of animation and voice acting. If the character designs and animation quality aren't of über-quality, I quickly loose interest.The first anime-related series I ever watched was Battle of the Planets - otherwise known as Gatachman. The first true theatrical anime feature film I saw was Akira. My first exposure to manga was later in life when I read Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy.There are so many incredible elements of Japanese culture. Some of the most exciting to me are the style of design and storytelling. I'm a web designer & illustrator, and I find myself looking to Japanese design for inspiration all the time.Anime blogging has taught me even more about Japanese culture and anime than I ever expected, and I continue to learn more every week. In fact, I'd love to travel to Japan. Rachel and I hope to visit sometime within the next few years.
The Hellsing OVA Vol 2 DVD is due out in Japan on August 25, 2006. There’s a nice little teaser trailer you can watch – download it at the Official Hellsing OVA Site! This video has been out for a while, but many people may not have seen it. Check it out at Hellsing OVA 2 YouTube Video.
. Hopefully we’ll have a review sometime soon!
dang… how many OVAs are there?
You know segue, I haven’t a clue how many OVAs there are. The first OVA took place over the course of the first volume of the manga. Perhaps each OVA equals one volume of manga . If that’s what they’re doing there should be at least 7 OVAs. Who knows though if they’ll be as true to the manga throughout the OVAs as the first volume…
there are actually 10 issues of the manga to be released i think 8 is finished and should be availible to buy pretty soon i some of the rough drafts of the last 3 and its sick
