I still haven't watched the third Daimajin movie in my bluray set. So that got a vote.

Also wouldn't mind some First Men in the Moon conversation. :)

Daimanjin for as well! I've had the bluray set sitting on my desk for months, I've watched the first two but never got around to the third.

And there was talks of a live chat with possible a stream going on. Is that still a possibility?

DannyBeane set up something for the last one, but it didn't work out quite right. May be worth revisiting if there is interest

The only problem with a livestream is that I don't have an internet connection where I'm living now, so it'd probably be late on a Saturday when I'd be able to do anything.

I had always heard this was the worst Daimajin film. Return of Daimajin (Daimajin no Gyakushu…and yes I prefer the ADV titles to the way these films were referred to back in the day) is actually okay. It’s been described as a kid movie, but it’s a kid movie that doesn’t pull any punches. The effects here are top notch (most of the Daimajin effects are but these feel the most polished). I think I like this one more than the 2nd film, mostly because it feels the most distinct from the original film. I loved the hawk element and it was also nice to place a kick ass Daimajin sequence at the beginning of the film as well as the end.

Man....these Daimajin movies are so pretty. I need to get that cheap blu-ray set in the next few weeks or so. I want to see JUST how pretty they can be.

You know, i have seen the first two, but never the third in this series (mostly because i heard they were all basically the same, and the second one kind of lived up to that)... anyway, I'll be a bit late on responding, but i went ahead and ordered the trilogy

I don't think so. I'm going to re-watch this film tonight though. If anyone would like to have a discussion that would be great.
