Now, if you'll indulge me for a second, I'd like to deviate from the reviews a little and talk about my living room. If you asked a nerdy teenaged boy to draw his dream room, it would probably look a bit like my living room, with its 55” HD TV, infestation of video game consoles, and excessive networking infrastructure. That having been said, I am prepared for anything the anime industry can hurl at me. HD DVD with 5.1 surround? Bring it.
The downside is that I expect the anime industry to meet my standards, too. If my roommate and I are willing to shell out megabux to deck out our apartment with some seriously nerdy tech toys, I expect anything released in HD to be just as awesome. Because otherwise, I'll just be sad.

On to better things. Namely, Beck.

And though I discovered a great new show this week, I'm also a bit sad, because I feel like I've lost a dear friend. I'm a bit let down by the second volume for a show that I thought was going to aim for the stars.

This week's Shelf Obsessed entry is a bit different from previous one's. Belonging to Brian Stanley, his pictures represent 18 years of diligent Beast Wars stuff. Apparently, this isn't all, either. He's got at least 25 other Zoids elsewhere, and a giant collection of early Power Rangers mecha, including the first Ultrazord.
And this was a few months ago. I can only imagine his collection has quadrupled since then. He also sent a picture of his cute pet, Vangie. I like this guy. <3 <3 <3

If you're interested in boasting about your collection, send your jpgs to shelflife at animenewsnetwork dot com!
