Karas: The Prophecy

Another anime i bought a little while ago was the Karas 'Double feature' 3 disk set but i'm just going to review the first movie for now which counts for two of those three disks.
There are quite a quite a few special features on this one so i'll start there. There is a small interview video with the japanese voice actors but this was kind of short and pretty boring so i didn't really pay much attention. Another of the features seems to be a bit of the behind the scenes with the sound effects team. More interesting is the short, 4 minute, 'behind the scenes montage' that briefly shows some of the designing, storyboarding and animating that went into the final movie.
There are a couple more features on this disk such as trailers but i'm not going to bother talking about them. Onto the movie!
 

Death Note Vol. 1 (UK)

I figured i'd start on a high so i'll begin by reviewing the UK Death Note volume 1. I say UK because i believe that in the US each volume is only 4 episodes whereas over here we get eight per volume. Unfortunately we don't seem to get a special edition version though which is a shame because some of the little statues look neat.
Anyway, I wandered into forbidden planet recently as i occasionally do to see what anime they have and i was greeted with the amazing sight of death note volume 1. Of course i've already seen every episode but i want to get the DVDs so i instantly snap it up and buy it without a second's thought. When i got home i stuck it into the DVD player and was greeted with the menu. If i had the DVD here i would grab some shots of the menus and upload them but unfortunately i've let a friend borrow it. I'll upload some pics when I get it back.
