anybody knows if they'd announce Gantz: part1 dvd release? I know there were navigate (making of) DVD for part1 and part 2, also dvd for the director's cut of the TV special "Another Gantz" but not sure about the actual movie. Need to see the 1st part again in Japanese. I've found a blog...

LOL. i don't think they meant that. just picking up little bits and pieces of reviews about the human drama element but i don't think it meant the aliens caused the disasters. i might be wrong..

just read some Perfect Answer reviews. Overall it sounds good, maybe better than the 1st part. They mentioned the ending is relevant to what's happening in Japan currently.

haven't watched it but Damura probably right. From some promo that I saw, there's a new character (journalist) who knows about the other characters backstory. Never before seen screen-caps of Nishi is floating around the net. Not sure if its in the movie or the TV special but there's a scene of...

^none that i know of gnut. the premiere in Japan is on 23rd April and the publicity is pretty low key this time around. i think they did planned to have another american premiere but after the quake it might've been canceled or postponed. it's up to the us distributor to help promote it i think...

I just watched it yesterday. The 3 language subtitle aren't as distracting as you said. The translator took liberty with the English translation which is probably dubbing dialogues instead of actual Japanese-english translation. It didn't bother me much though, as long as could hear the actors...

^ I think its the screening for the 1st movie. Malaysia/Singapore screenings are usually in the original language of the movie. I'll be in Malaysia to catch Gantz. Too bad Singapore delayed the screening or I'll be spending money there instead. The 2nd installment will be screened on September...

it would be entertaining for me to laugh at the fail an awkwardness for sure, but only after I see it with original voices first.

I don't mind the lips not matching but the voice actor totally failed in matching the emotions. The scream is just a scream for the sake of screaming. In other words, it was flat. Acting skills are required in voice acting. I rarely watch live action dubs but I do watch good anime dubs. Not...

you can't be serious right Charlie? I just saw the dubbed teaser for the 2nd part Perfect Answer. The voice acting was absolutely horrible. The voice totally didn't match the urgency and intensity on Kurono (Ninomiya) face. I might watch the dub version but only after watching the one in...

^its not the case of no one bothered, but no Japanese rip uploaded yet. Unless somebody from Viz ripped it themselves from the SanFran screening like someone did with the dubbed version...

I was not that impressed with Death Note because it was comic like (almost hammy) and I had quite high expectation for it. The movie utilizes the original plot wisely but I'm not fond of the "feel" of the whole live action franchise. I think both Death Note and Gantz didn't hit the nail in...

yup. they missed the opportunity to make it a solid mind blowing movie instead a pop-corn flick. on the positive side, people still think its a good adaptation and is pretty entertaining. Gantz is probably at the same level as Death Note live action, fairly good but not that impressive. Not a...

^Yes they are doing an American Death Note. They've announced the director but no words on casts yet. There are still rumors about Efron as Light though. Most Japan people who has watched Gantz thought it was entertaining pop-corn flick. I think consensus about the movie being "heavily flawed"...

Gantz topped the weekend box office numbers in Japan 3 weeks in a row and they might get 4th consecutive week as well with no major movie release this weekend. Source: http://boxofficemojo.com/intl/japan/ I'm so stoked there will be major manga adaptations coming like Akira and Death Note. If...
