This week in Anime Talk our newest reviewer, Todd Douglass, tells us the top five things he loves and hates about the anime industry today. We also have an early look at a new series Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo. This unique, eye-catching, and surreal show based on Alexander Dumas' famous novel promises to be anything but boring. In our anime review round-up we also have a look at the first volume of Akira Kurosawa's Samurai 7, the Fire and Ice 2-disc LE, and the latest Studio Ghibli movie to hit region 1, My Neighbors, the Yamadas, among others. We also have Holly's anime bargains and our usual table of upcoming anime discs. Check out all this and more in Anime Talk.
