On hold due to Netflix waits:
Ghost Stories (yes I am watching the rather funny dub)
Hakugei The Legend of Moby Dick (caused by myself moving Battle Athletes Victory up the queue)
On hold for other reasons:
El Hazard (mostly cause it's getting to the part I remember the most).
Got and finished:
Haunted Junction: another late '90s show about ghosts at school. It was pretty decent. Though Japan has some odd ghosts & stories about them.
Though I wouldn't mind having Miss Hanako try to spook me if she dresses like she does in this show.
Also bought & watched Jubei-Chan The Secret of the Lovely Eye-Patch.
Pretty fun show with decent action & comedy.
Though it really didn't seem like it needed a sequel, due to everything being tied up at the end.
With the Media Blasters trying to stay alive, kinda wonder if they can get season 2 of this on DVD at the good price this was ($13.99 at Best Buy).
I bought The Sacred Blacksmith as well, and watched disc one of that.
Pretty fun show with cute girls, good fantasy type action (kinda lacking a bit in my collection), and of course fanservice (boy for her size/age Cecily has some serious boobs).
Up to disc 5 of Battle Athletes Victory.
I kinda doubt I'm gonna buy it (it's kinda pricey anyways) due to the rather wishy-washy main girl Akari.
She keeps running into these obstacles, and just kinda gives up for a bit.
Then somehow she gets inspired by somebody and just anihilates any race.
For example she was in dead last place in a triathlon, then her friend I-Chan's brother shows up with a bunch of Osakaans to cheer her on (along with a memento of Ichan's) and blam she starts running like crazy.
Eventually catching up to the leader and passing her to win (again with Ichan coaxing her on in person this time).
I got Grave of the Fireflies from Netflix a while back.
Watched it cause I never had seen it before.
It was sad, but not as depressing as I thought it would be.
In fact it just kinda made me irritated by the boy in this movie.
Especially since I am the oldest sibling.
He had a great life at the mean aunt's house, yet he gives it up cause he is to stubborn to ask her what he could do to help?
He had a bunch of money in the bank, yet he steals food/stuff to sell to buy food? His sister is really sick, yet he takes his sweet time getting food for her? Though this movie should be shown to anybody thinking about starting a war...
Toho's Godzilla Will Live Forever!
