Discussion of episodes currently airing in Un-American locations (anything that's aired in Australia is fair game), as well as anything else the Un-Americans feel like talking about or we feel like asking them. Please use the show discussion threads for any current-season discussion.

Oh I know....have a friend lined up to start handing me the DVDs. Got the sense when Angel showed up in the finale episode that he has really, really developed since the old days, pre his own show. Hard to fathom the change. Look forward to checking it out.
Oh wow, Bells. You've got some great stuff to look forward too. Some crap too (IMO) but the gold far, FAR outweighed the dross.
Thanks for the birthday wishes sweetpeas. :)
Just dropped by to mention Canivale, which is the first thing to capture my attention on tv in ages. True to form, you're all over it already. Got a region free dvd player for Christmas so am enjoying imports like the Director Series vol 1-3 feat. Michel Gondry, Chris Cunningham and Spike Jonze, and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Recommended!

I'm not! I'm thoroughly engaged. I thought the two Babylon episodes a few weeks ago were incredibly absorbing and dark. That last shot of her in the window was one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Ooh, I saw that at a Miyazaki film festival last year. I thought it was great. I also saw My Neighbour Totoro, which was unbelievably cute and uplifting.
If you liked Nausicaa and Totoro, I'd highly recommend this DVD box set: [link]
Considering you get 11 or 12 films, it's not very expensive. Some are better than others, but they're all beautifully done.
I have that box set, but I should point out that it's bootleg.
It's a very well done bootleg, though. I didn't realize it until after I bought it.
I had no idea! How did you figure it out?
I found out from one of the fan sites. There's no way you can tell from the packaging. It's very professionally done and quite brazen.
The quality of the video is excellent too. It's really only down to a moral issue as to whether one should buy it.
Interesting article. The only thing he mentions that I noticed was poor subtitle synchronization on one of the films (I've watched about half of them). The video quality has seemed fine to me otherwise. As for the poor translations and misspellings -- who among us has not seen a poorly translated Japanese film in the theaters?
