Not an 'April Fools' - there's only one things (on DVD) on my mind this month that's a new release. 'Hanzo The Razor' Boxset from Homevision, which is due on the 19th in the USA. Mine has shipped in the last 24 hours so in a week or so I should have it. Forget the crappy artwork, think of the hacking and slashing in store... anyhow, apart from that I have to catch up on a few things that are on my list.
Firstly, in a Shohei Imamura kind of mood. So, going to buy the 'Dr.Akagi' disc from the USA that was pointed out to me recently here in the comments, and then 'Unagi' (aka 'The Eel') on R3 Korean disc. Hopefully then going to finally pin down 'FLCL' which i can now only seem to find either on eBat on in an Australian boxset. Wonder if there's and American boxset due? More anime in the form of the later volumes of 'Last Exile' which i for one at least like the production values on this. Then it's a series that's very visually interesting as well as being a relatively rare example (here at least) of Horror - it's the anime show 'Requiem From The Darkness' which is short and cheap too.
Finally, a Koji Yakusho treat - 'Kamikaze Taxi'. Yes I know i could buy a couple of nice Japanese discs this month, but to be honest 'Nobody Knows' and 'Shall We Dance?' don't get me as excited right now. Maybe the 'Infernal Affairs' 6-Disc set from Korea will head my way, or Japan Shocks (awaiting repressing) 'Star of David' which has been on my list for a couple of years would you believe?!
