the “cowboy bebop movie – knockin’ on heaven’s door” kicks ass! the quality of the animation is awesome and the story is good (but not related to the back-story of the series). the plot-line reminds me a whole of the “patlabor 2”-movie… if columbia / tristar make their dvd-release as nice as metropolis, then i’m a happy camper!

watch “hoshi no koe” (the voices from a distant star) by shinkai makoto! it’s excellent. lots of cg / mecha, but it actually is about a looooooooong distance relationship. go figure! thanks, bakaMX (although a lot of interlaced frames sneaked through the IVTC – maybe the source was partly 29.97fps?).
