And it is easy to see why fans gravitated towards it. ![]() Watch an episode of The Big O, and you'll be hard pressed to immediately classify it as anime, indeed the style and even the characters will put you in mind straight away of the Batman cartoons. In The Big O's case, it provided something that Western animation could provide, but in a way that offered something a little different. The Big O is another of those gateway anime that I often mention, one of those shows that back in the day drew many fans to this exciting medium, through content, storytelling, style and production values, as well as by offering something that Western animation couldn't provide. Beez got the ball rolling late last year by bringing The Big O to the UK, straight to the Anime Legends label at a budget price. Later this year, the UK will get its first taste of shows like Outlaw Star, and the long awaited fan favourite Lucky Star. After all, few people will be willing to pay full price for a show that has been available in the US for three years or more. But Beez are nothing if not innovative, and they have realised that the Anime Legends label offers them an opportunity to get older Bandai titles that have never seen a UK release, out to UK audiences at an affordable price that reflects their venerable nature. ![]() But eventually, Beez hopped onto the budget boxset bandwagon, long after companies like Manga, ADV and MVM had been dancing to the tune, and 2010 saw some of their titles, like Wolf's Rain, and Witch Hunter Robin, re-released at around £25, where previously they would have set you back over three times as much. The difference between the prices was that significant. Back when there were 2 dollars to the pound, I wound up with most of the Beez catalogue that appealed to me, in Anime Legends form from Bandai instead. ![]() Introduction Beez Entertainment were the last of the anime distributors in the UK to cotton onto the potential of budget re-releases, that's despite the fact that Bandai Entertainment have long since made anime fans smile with their Anime Legends line.
