Spriggan Released On DVD

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the shoot-em-up dept.

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 did.
      Katy and I went to high school together.
      It's been a long time since I've seen her. I figure that maybe one of her corhorts at Columbia might see this.

      You should e-mail her. kms2003@columbia.edu

      By the way, while your were in high school, did you ever get a chance to perform cunnilingus on her? If so, how did her vulva taste? Just curious. Thanks.

      This is why slashdot has a wonderful feature called "topics". If you sign up for an actual *account* on slashdot, you will be able to configure things such that whenever you look at slashdot, any story with the "anime" topic (any with the icon of the little green-haired girl) is not displayed to you. That way, you can avoid seeing anime news without the entire slashdot.org web site having to be edited to leave out things you personally don't find interesting. Isn't technology wonderful?
