Shelf Life - Vanilla ICE

A few liner notes are included on the DVDs themselves, including a note about how the Lovely Angel's pet bear-cat, Mughi, is in fact a Coeurl, a creature originally created by early sci-fi author A. E. van Vogt. In the background of a science lab in one scene is a sketch of a sleek and handsome M.U.G.H.I., a far cry from the real thing. I couldn't stop thinking about the prototype sketch, and afterward every time Mughi appeared on screen I thought, “wow, Mughi has really let himself go! What's he eating while he waits on the spaceship for Kei and Yuri?”

Spectator characters must continually tell us all rules and possibilities as events unfold. Most anime falls somewhere between the two extremes of real sports and magic ninja duals.

I watched the OVA, but a movie version just came out from Seminal with a slightly longer running time. Maybe I'll check it out.

Where did that extra 13 minutes come from?

Despite what's advertised, the actual total run time of the OVAs is 110 minutes. Trim the end credits out for the first two episodes and you'd be right around 103 minutes.

I have ICE and wish I didn't. I saw a trailer ages ago and it looked cool, so I put it on my "ta have" list. Bad mistake.

Anime shelves --- Nice collection!! Out of curiosity, what is your favorite anime in your collection?

Also they fight with gun-swords, because aggressive men ruined the world with guns, and they believe in using less efficient weapons.

Maybe flashbacks to Naruto's sad early childhood won me over… I keep thinking about this because I absolutely don't care about a single Fairy Tail character.

At least in Naruto there are a few restrictions to the magic system, and early on Naruto only knows a few tricks. The more Naruto strays from the established villages and powers, the less I like it.
