Bought the K-ON! Anime Legends set at a local Best Buy.
Watched the first 4 episodes, so far it's pretty fun, and has a kind of "laid back" feel.
The dub voices are pretty nice, and I know Cristina Vee can seriously sing very well, so I am interested in hearing the English versions of the songs later in the show (they are bonus features).

Yeah, Discotek Media licensed Harlock, though I'm not sure when it'll be released. Probably sometime after they get the first series of Lupin out the door. Galaxy Express is getting the dvd treatment too, though S'more entertainment are releasing that one.
I've been watching some '60s Astro Boy episodes lately. I love how experimental that show was - the black & white visuals have an odd dreamlike quality to them, like a bizarre mixture of old Disney and Fleischer cartoons mixed with classic sci-fi and monster movies. Some of the episodes would remind you of the Twilight Zone or Outer Limits, or even Ultra Q. (especially the one with the giant snails) Love the eerie electronic sound effects too - it's not unlike what the Radiophonic workshop were doing for Doctor Who.
I don't want to sound like some miserable old curmudgeon, but it's pretty refreshing to watch an anime series that's so different to more recent stuff, even though it influenced so much of what came after it. The show just doesn't feel like anything that's out right now.

Watching the new Lupin III: The Woman Called Fujiko Mine at funimation.com They are simulcasting the episodes as they come out and medium rez streams are available to anytime.
Thanks kiryugoji04 for the heads up on that one.
