Spriggan Released On DVD

Raiyu writes "Spriggan, scheduled for DVD release on 04/23/2002, has been released early and is available at many local retailers now (Got my copy today). Supervised by Katsuhiro Otomo (Of Akira Fame) and directed by newcomer Hirotsugu Kawasaki, this is perhaps the best pure action anime made to date. Although criticized by some for lacking a strong plot, Spriggan still stands as an amazing anime because it never loses its focus, to entertain the audience." If they had edited out a couple minutes of the cackling laughter from the psychic child, it would have been superior movie. Looks like AnimeonDVD already has a full review of the disk.

    I've been using slashdot on an almost daily basis for probably a bit over 3 years. You only just informed me that not everything is posted onto the front page. All this time, and I assumed that all new topics in the sections I wished to see were displayed front page.

    To be perfectly honest, I'm kinda pissed now as I wonder how much interesting stuff that I've selected I'm interested in, I've actually missed :(
