Siren:
Tatami Galaxy
Durarara
Canaan
Genius Party
Rating - Commendable/10. Not like they have much screening rights nor do they have retro material. But with their balanced spread of licenses, they still have my vote.
Madman:
Slayers
Bounen no Xamdou
Vampire Knight
Angelic Layer
Ga-Rei-Zero
Cyber City Oedo 808
Akira
Karin
Dragonball
Soul Eater
Astro Boy (60s and 80s)
Rating: 2/10. Madman...WAKE UP! This is a retro themed year! 5 titles to fit that theme is hardly enough. Mediocre selection from the 00s, while your retro choices are mainly obvious choices that people probably know about anyway...
So...what are some of the things on their catalogue could have been played that are beyond the obvious ones like 'The War', Bebop and Trigun that were pre-2000?
Big O
Captain Herlock
Escaflowne
Fushigi Yugi
Gatchaman
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Jungle Emperor Leo
Kimba the White Lion
Macross Plus
Patlabor
Revolutionary Girl Utena: The Movie
Robotech aka original Macross
Rurouni Kenshin
Yamato
You're Under Arrest
You barely tried, Madman. The list of what you won't be playing is better in comparison. The fact you don't even wish to promote some older titles and instead promote some of the most generic crap from the late 00s instead is an insult and then some.
Ladies and gentlemen...your AVCON screenings
