I have low expectations for the Shyamalan version. Even beyond the "cramming three seasons of a TV series into a trilogy" thing, there's the whitewashed casting and the fact that fake-Zuko and fake-Iroh don't even look vaguely right (Zuko's "hideous scar" looks more like a black eye, he's got a full head of hair, and Iroh is far too young, fit, and serious).

I agree but I am still glad that they are doing a movie, the TV series was so good... Maybe this will
bring back a sequel to the TV show..

Quote:Was the series very different than the movie?I used to own the movie on ancient VHS, and found it to be shockingly entertaining.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes
The only real problem w/ this series: it was never officially translated (i.e., fansubs only)...
There was an estimated price for the set, IF it ever came out, and I think it was nearly 2,000 USD.
(it's a 'movie' followed by 110 20+minute episodes, plus side stories)

A recent pickup (got it on the cheap) that I found bloody hilarious, pun intended, was "Magical Witch Punie-Chan".
It's a stripped down sub-only release and missing the four shorts, but given how niche the market for it would be, it's kind of surprising there was a release at all since it was more a running joke than an actual production series - it's very short for this reason, and that there's not so much you can *do* with the basic concept.
It requires a rather seriously twisted sense of humor to enjoy (I think Mikey would love it) but for them that would like it, it certainly delivers.
Here's one of the better reviews.

"There is no kindness in Punie's world. Contrary to initial impressions, Punie is no dream-filled innocent, she's a cold, calculating death machine with all the human warmth of dagger in the back, and her homeland, despite its gaudy magical trappings, is an autocracy maintained by raw power. Selfishness and ambition underlie even the most seemingly innocent actions, and frilly cuteness is merely one of many tools of oppression."
Black humor delivered in a boxers flurry while totally, thoroughly, skewering the magical girl genre in every way possible, what's not to like ?
Here's a trailer.
Heh heh heh.

CL, Planetes is great (ep 5 so far), the best anime series I've ever seen (or maybe just the most "western" in feel)!!
Although Fee need to quit smoking...
Thanks again for the recommend.

Hey, WOW! That's nice to hear! You're very welcome, Chris!
Take a look at the manga if you have the chance.
