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.
And I myself will be wearing pink taffeta as chenille would not go with my complexion.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
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?

To every idea a shelf...
That is a thing of beauty. I don't really have a problem with bootleg, but our DVD player is pretty temperamental and I wouldn't trust it to work, even though it says its regionless. Thanks for pointing it out, I'll write it down for future reference.

Yay! Sky One is finally showing The Peacekeeper Wars on Sunday!
For which I have managed to stay largerly unspoiled, miraculously.

I just saw that advert!
I'm wondering whether it's a good place for a person who's only heard of Farscape in the 'it's a thing other people talk about' sort of way to start watching it. The advert seems quite start-at-the-beginning-y, but I'm not sure if that's true of the mini-series itself.
