Ugh, talk about poor timing of EVERYTHING. The week of Thanksgiving I had a computer breakdown that had me out for a couple days. I came back to my house and had some final projects due for class, and I didn't read the forums for days while I worked all day on those. Needless to say, I was way behind in reading my material for forum buzz this week. Finally, to top this all off, being an @home customer, I may not have internet access shortly. So I got into a time crunch to finish this at all, and get it in before the supposed deadline. So let's get on with the very short November 29th Forum Buzz:

Staying on topic
 

Demostrating that logic does not apply to the AoD Forums, an impressions thread was started about the Ah! My Goddess Movie disc. Cool packaging, a couple hard subs, and the issue most discussed in the thread? Pioneer reply cards. :)

Bandai pleases the fans
 

Bandai Entertainment released a press release this week regarding their rather impressive sounding release of Samurai Troopers (aka "Ronin Warriors" on US TV). Some clarifications were covered in the forum, and they're worth mentioning here. It will be uncut sub AND dub. Which means that two seperate video tracks are being used. Episode count has not been confirmed yet.

More crude jokes than you can stuff in a sack
 

Prompted by Chris' string of hentai reviews, some forum users thought it important to make a thread about it. I don't have anything to really say about it here, but there's so much quality humor I couldn't help but point it out :) [ Original Thread ]

Win a dream date with Justin Sevakis
 

CPM responded to some inquires about their upcoming Project A-ko re-release, and we've got some exclusive information on the extras for this DVD. They could potentially include any of the following: Commentary track, New and improved subtitles, Interviews with the creators, Win a dream date with Justin Sevakis contest, Digitally restored video quality, A baloney sandwich, Original Sketches and Artwork Galleries, A monogrammed 'I love A-ko' cummerbund in one of 3 fashion colors (hunter, sienna, or taupe) [ Original Thread ]

Quote of the week: hehe, and in another note, the Beveridge household is out of hand lotion. *cough* -bludstone
