In regards to recent events..

It looks like Megaupload got popped by the FBI See wired.
So those links are going to be down (obviously).
I'll put them back up on the DDL server but it might take a day or so.

Release #105 - New Dominion Tank Police OST

[Strange Scans] is proud to present a soundtrack release! This time it's the UK OST for the New Dominion Tank Police OVA's. The aptly titled 'New Dominion'. The metadata however read Dominion II - New Dominion Tank Police, so we're going with that.

I find it interesting that they managed an english release of this all the way back in 1993. (The same year Ninja Scroll came out) I also find it interesting that Anipuma and Unipuma have blonde hair in Dominion Tank Police  and on the cover of the New Dominion Tank Police soundtrack but not in the insert or the New Dominion Tank Police anime? I know that New Dominion Tank Police was a reboot but whats up with changing a detail like that? Maybe I'm too picky.

Regardless, enjoy - and don't forget to sing along with the insert!

Release #104 - Dominion Tank Police

[Strange Scans] is very proud to present a genuine gem of an art book - Masamune Shirow's 'Dominion Club'. It was released in 1987 for 1000¥ (Good luck finding it that cheap today) It features eight full colour prints, four monochrome manga pages and the dominion files (an eight page double sided foldout) which focus on individual characters. All of this is in A3 by the way - so it's really nice (especially if you are a fan or collector) to be able to the art in such quality.

I'm unsure how limited the release of this was but I haven't seen too many copies floating around. This one was in mint condition, I was actually under the impression it was A4 or letter size - so I was quite surprised by it's actual dimensions.

Below are a few examples of the work inside.
Don't forget to click for large!




I'm pretty sure the green fairy there is Greenpeace with two friends of hers.
There are two versions of this for download, one in blistering eye watering high res, and one in my standard release size - choose wisely!

Comission - Black Lagoon

I really do enjoy Black Lagoon. Possibly the manga more so than the anime - but thats neither here nor there. I think I'm about due for my six monthly re-read to see how many more chapters have been done since I caught up last time. Also have I ever mentioned Saywer/Shenhua get nowhere near as much love as they should?
I have? Well okay then.


Praise and thanks should be directed to Zet for this one.
