Bandai Anime

[Huxley]

If you're an anime fan in the UK you probably know that Bandai have only recently started to release their titles over here. But they're only releasing a few key titles (Gundam Wing, Hack//Sign, Cowboy Bebop and Escaflowne) and there's plenty of stuff that's gone unreleased that's freely available in the US. This is basically a poll to see which titles you'd like to see Beez release in this country. We'll mail them the results and although I doubt it will make a jot of difference hopefully it let them know there's interest in seeing some of their titles that haven't been aired on kid's TV.

Anyway, please vote if you'd like to see any of these titles in the UK

All my anime are imported from the USA and I dont think that will ever change for me. But I hope that they release Galaxy Angel over here due to its a great show.
I would also vote for Gundam Seed but hopefully, Bandai would be smart enough to release that here whatever the circumstances. B)

You can get any anime you want... via the internet (Ebay, Anime DVD and Bittorrent Sites). Do you like your anime in english or subtitled? Myself I prefer it sub titled, even if it is fan subbed.

Big O was on toonami in the UK a while back

 

[speedmike]

I miss Toonami and Adult Swim I have no cable...

I remember way back in the day running home from school so I could watch Voltron when toonami was just starting not to mention Sailor Moon. I'm Glad I live in America, it sounds sucky to get anime in the UK.

do you guys get that crappy TokyoPop version of Initial D? My friend bought one and It wanted to make me cry it was so badly dubbed. They tried to make it sound real modern and filled it with real bad American slang.

and getting back to your Bandai subject they would be really stupid to not release Gundam Seed

But not on DVD yet.

Speedmike, yes you can download almost any anime you want (although I can't find Neo Devilman for the life of me) but not everyone wants to import DVDs or download their anime.

do you guys get that crappy TokyoPop version of Initial D?

Tokyopop do not have a prescence in Europe so we've not got Initial D yet. Same for GTO and several other high-profile series There's a chance another publisher might pick up the license but I've not heard anything yet. Basically the only publishers who operate over ehre are ADV, Manga, MVM, Bandai and a couple of others who release stuff every now and again (Disney/Ghibli etc).


Anyway, thanks a lot for voting guys! And please feel free to vote if you don't live in the UK...if you think a title deserves to be seen by a larger audience vote for that

Huxley, that's true, I don't like to download anime at all... If I do download anime its the unlicensed stuff. Usually the quality isn't as awesome as it could be. IMPORTING is a must for me or at least anime w/ the original language track! I like to watch asian Live Action or Drama shows also, but they are incredibly hard to find... So, I tend to buy those.

just go to e-bay and find bootleg DVDs of your favorite animes' episodes/season.
I got Cowboy Bebop [all eps], lain [all eps], and trigun [all eps] for twenty dollars each, and the cases were very good quality on all of them.

[EDIT: all of them had extras on them]

​

personaly I think it sucks that they aren't playing gundam seed on toonami. I voted for gundam seed for u guys in the uk cause I believe everyone should atleast watch that series once. gundam seed wasn't even finished and they took it off the air. arseholes <_< But I stay happy

[kuriboh]

It's been delayed until the first week of December apparently. I'd imagine it's uncut, but don't quote me on that
