I know it doesn't qualify for this thread, but the The s-CRY-ed blu-ray set is finally coming stateside. Meaning Discotek Media is now my favorite anime distributor. And it gives me an excuse to watch one of my favorite anime ever for like the sixth time. Seriously, if you guys haven't seen it, I highly recommend it.

Anyway, yet again, thinking about what to tackle next, even though it likely won't be until next month. Gonna copypaste two other shows from before, but there's two others I've considered doing:

The Skull Man - A sort of "Ultimate Universe" of Ishinomori's' various works. I remember liking it fine back when it first came out, but I feel like I'd appreciate it alot more now since I'm alot more familiar with his various stories.
Garo: Crimson Moon - The prequel to the first Garo anime. I've heard some rather mixed opinions on this one, and I really liked the first anime overall, so I'm rather interested in watching this. Plus this year is a special anniversary for the franchise as a whole.
Star Driver - Speaking of anniversaries, this marks the 10 year anniversary of Star Driver! An anime that, while not based on a specific Toku directly, took many influences from the genre, and was focused on combining as many different aspects of various different genres as they could.It makes for a very interesting viewing experience if nothing else.
Heroman - The s-CRY-ed announcement got me thinking about other anime that I think will never get an official physical release, and with the unfortunate passing of Stan Lee, I don't see Heroman ever getting its proper chance to shine over in the States. Heroman is essentially an anime version of Spider-Man that also takes inspiration from, well, Toku. Sort of like a recursive version of Supaidahman, in a meta sense. I feel like it could fun to cover!

Like always, if any of these sound more interesting to you than others, feel free to say so! Otherwise I'll probably do like usual and just kinda pick at random or for some superfluous reason, haha.

I also wanna end this by asking you all a question: Would you consider Gundam to be under this category? Me personally, I wouldn't, but the franchise has crossed over with Kamen Rider and Ultraman, so there is sort of a case to be made. Either way, I don't plan to cover any Gundam shows anytime soon, but I was curious as to how you all felt.
