Got mine today after some serious shopping around... Its a very cool DVD. The extras this time around are much better. More pictures in the gallery, 10, one of which is done by Miura. The Production sketch section has 35, only a few of which seem familiar to me. I dont have my art book on me, so I cant check and see if theyre never-before-seen or not. And the outtakes are simply fucking hilarious this time, where last DVD they were just good for a chuckle or two. My only big complaint about this DVD is its length. I can understand why they cut it down to 4 episodes per disc (this one only covers 6-9, where the first DVD was 1-5), but it ends RIGHT as the big buildup for the assassination starts. I felt like I was 5 years old again, wanting to see episode 10 on DVD RIGHT THEN, even though I have it on fansub... A jackass am I...
Just a few more things...
I'm noticing some scenes I don't remember seeing before? There are a few quick frames in episode 6, during the Zodd fight that I totally dont remember seeing at all. And one instance in episode 7: It starts with this existential vineyard scene that I dont remember seeing. If anyone has their fansubs handy, could you cross-check them and see if Episode 7 starts off looking at a vineyard? Just for reference, episode 7's next scene is members of the royal court and minister foss discussing the Hawks uprising, then Guts smashes one of their toes with his crutch 8)
One last thing.
Something i found funny in episode 7 (
funny, not interesting):
The Hawks need to talk to Griffith, but are waiting outside, Guts walks onto the scene and Casca tells Guts to wait, so he wont interrupt Griffith with his important court affairs Guts ignores her and breaks through guards and is about to go in, and asks Rickert:
"Rickert, you want to come with me?"
Rickert refuses. Guts steps into room,
Guts: "yo, Griffi-"
Casca taps Guts on the shoulder
Guts: "Gah... im sick of this..."
Casca: *PUNCH*
Guts gives up on seeing Griffith because Casca is being a bitch.
Hmm... this scene sounds something like our current predicament doesnt it?
