WOW -Another great week for those collecting - unless your budgets are tanked! This is especially a great week for us old timers that remember Astro Boy and Kimba. Astro Boy has several mini sets being released while Kimba has one currently. I know I will have to get Kimba set for my son.
I have seen both Rahxephon and Mushi-Shi. Both great series from 2 totally different times. Rahxephon is of the future with lots of Mecha, while Mushi-Shi is more of a tale from the past. Both have equally great story telling and exceptional artwork.

Abandoned and disowned, soon Astro Boy is befriended by Dr. Packadermus J. Elefun of the Institute of Science, and together, they embark upon an amazing adventure. With super strength, rocket-powered flight, a selfless heart and a kind demeanor, Astro Boy fights a never-ending crusade against the forces of evil!

Isn't it "He's My Master"?
ReplyDeleteI watched RahXephon last month, it was ok, but far from phenomenal. If I were given the option to edit the series, I prolly could have made it much stronger. A lot of dross that detracts from what IS worthy.
Mushi-shi I need to watch one day. I got it when I was getting 5 series a week, so I only watched the first two episodes. I really need to. This, and Planetes, and GitS:SAC, and maybe watch Gurren Lagann again, cause I've been in the mood lately. Damn school picking up again in a week and a half!
