Just ordered >>Robot Ghosts and Wired Dreams: Japanese Science Fiction from Origins to Anime<<
Has anyone here already read it? Dont get me wrong, i don't fear that i will regret it (the cover alone is worth the 18€) and there plenty of reviews out there but i am curious how lain-fans think about this essays.

>> No.2

So, graphic novel in 2011... And I don't see any mention that the anime will air before 2012, if ever.

I just found this site a few links down the chain from an unrelated post on uboachan. What luck!
Anyone know anything about Alice in Cyberland? According to the internet it was an ABe series that preceded Lain, but I can't find a subbed version of it anywhere, not even on a site search of this board. One would think it would be quite popular, maybe it goes by another name?

Also, I recently started this fad of drawing more realistically sized noses onto anime girls, what do you think? Will it catch on?
So far no luck…

>> No.2  

Best I can tell, 'Alice in Cyberland' is a Chiaki Konaka OAV not directly related to ABe. The links to Lain appear to come from Konaka. You may have difficulty finding it since it looks like it dates from before the era of cheap and plentiful online fansubbing.

To your second question: no, probably not. It does look pretty hilarious, though.

There's a PSX game with the title, although I am unsure if this is the only use thereof.

OMG Abe did somthing with 'Isolated City'!? I know he had a pic of it on his Pixiv(That I LOVE!) but I didn't know he was making something about it!
Is it a manga or an art book and does anyone know where I could buy either of these and have them shipped to the US?

>> No.7  

Ok >>5 here again.
I went to ABe's blog to see if he had info on them and sure enough there was(Don't know why I didn't think of that before).

Color/Monochrome is an art/sketch book, just as you would think from the title. It will have "25 color illustrations 56 pages illustrated".

Isolated City sounds like it's story he is working on(maybe for a later manga?) but this book "is a collection of character sketches for set and stage" but it also includes "Short stories are included in the form of scenarios."

>> No.8  

Bumping this, since C78 has kicked off. Haven't seen anything pop up yet, I suppose I should be checking Perfect Dark or whatever the cool kids are using these days.

>> No.9  

Where can I buy the new c78 stuff of ABe's ?

>> No.10  

They may or may not get the C78 stuff in, but Mandarake has a pretty wide selection of ABe doujinshi and artbooks:

that pic does not look impressive to me :/

I don't think that's an image from the Blu-ray...
I have the blu ray and it looks much better then that....well 'better' to me, some people hate how the Blu ray came out looking, but I've watched the whole thing and I loved it so whatever....

Also where is the cheapest place to pre-order the Lain Blu-ray? I think Amazon.co.jp is at ¥20,202 but has anyone seen it cheaper?

>> No.6  

There is a lot of fake 720p versions of Haibane Renmei on the internet. They are just 480p (DVD version) converted to 720p.

Why buy it in Japanese? It's going to be localized by Funimation.

No different than the actual Blu-ray version.

It's just up-converted. They did not re-animate Lain just to make the Blu-Ray. It's the same thing just released on a more modern media.

Lain was re-telecined and the CG was re-rendered for HD. They really did remake half of it, which is why it was delayed for a year.

Read by some guy off Geneon's monitors at C76. He says "because it's Ueda, I don't think this will just be an upscale" but I have no idea who the blog author is so I assume he made that up.

Fully unfolded. The first 3 blurays are the episodes the last one is a bonus disk titled 'Clips'. I haven't had time to watch it yet so I don't know exactly what's on it yet. The 2 CD's are the OST and the Cyberia Mix.

Just to let you guys know, Coalgirls is releasing SEL Blu-ray subs. Not all at once, but uploading them one at a time when each episode is ready. Hope they could upload the extras as well. :)

Yes I've seen that.
I think I'll be downloading that sometime too just so I can have a digital copy(and one with subs at that ^_^)

You don't happen to have any idea on if they are translating the commentary do you? And if they're not doing it do you know if anyone is going to?
