Welcome to the November 12 edition of the BellaOnline Anime Newsletter!
This week, I posted a review of Appleseed (the 2004 film directed by Shinji Aramaki, not the 1988 OVA), which can be found in the "Anime DVD Reviews" section of the Anime site. I also added some Appleseed-related words to the list for the Anime word games. If you would like to read this review, there is a link to it available later in this newsletter.
I posted a review of Makoto Shinkai's Voices of a Distant Star, which can be found in the "Anime DVD Reviews" section of the Anime site. I also added some words related to this release to the list for the Anime word games. If you would like to read this review, you can also find a link to it later in the newsletter.
In addition to Voices of a Distant Star, I also posted a review of Shinkai's five-minute short, She and Her Cat (which can be found in the "Current Anime" section of the Anime site). A link to this review can also be found later in the newsletter.
Finally, I also posted a review of the Pokemon X: 10 Years of Pokemon soundtrack CD; this review can be found in the "Pokemon" section of the Anime site. A link to this review is included later in this newsletter.
For any newsletter subscribers that are Dragon Ball fans, news came out yesterday that the release date for the live-action Dragon Ball film has been moved up to Wednesday, April 8, 2009.
In addition to articles and reviews, the Anime section also has a forum. A couple of current threads are:
*Two anime films submitted for possible Oscar noms
*4Kids ending FOX programming block in December
If you'd like to visit the Anime forum, a there is a link to it included later in the newsletter.
Thank you so much for your support of the Anime newsletter and forum.
