Captain Herlock

Fans of Captain Herlock (Albator in French) rejoice. A new 13-part OVA series that was released in Japan through the end of 2002 and early 2003 is coming to DVD in North America in the new year. The first volume is set to be released on February 3rd 2004, followed by Volume 2 on April 6th. The third volume has not yet been officially announced but can probably be expected in the summer months.

Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children

First of all, Happy New Year! It’s been a busy one with my wedding and all, and next year should also be quite interesting.

Movie / DVD – After the amazing Final Fantasy, SquareSoft has decided to produce a second movie, this time a straight-to-video release. Instead of creating a whole new world, they are going back to the world of the Final Fantasy VII game (my favorite one so far) to follow the adventures of Cloud Strife two years after the climax of the game. The movie will be called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children and a trailer is already available on their web site (in japanese).

Some news

I did not post for a few weeks since I was away on a two-week business trip to France, giving some courses at customer sites. I’m now back in town.

My latest DVD review for the movie S.W.A.T. is now on-line on uneporte.net. Check it out.

I also just got myself a copy of Dave Matthews Band – The Central Park Concert on DVD. It’s a really great DVD that they’ve produced. The editing is much better than on their previous title.
