Dunno if anyone can confirm this but I SWEAR they had one of these bikes in the HMV in Oxford St way back when Manga first started to hit the shelves over here (and I do mean Manga as in the cheapo video label that punted out anime including Akira).

It looks like your legs go inside, so how do you keep from tipping over when you stop?

Tis missing loads of stickers, looks like an unpainted kit.

When your coming to a stop you lift the canopy and put your leg out Dr H.

Ah, Manga, what a horrible video label that was

Why was it horrible? I only came in contact with two titles released by them, Akira and Ghost in the Shell, both of wich were excellent.

I was kinda wondering why Manga got so much stick - but then again anime purists are worse than console fanbois

Ah, so that's what the little padded cut-away bit on the side is for.

most titles were treated horribly, cuts, croping, no subbed versions offered etc.

I see.

Well at least my DVD of Ghost in the Shell seems complete.

That bike could work as a shell on a real bike as it's not exactly like Kanedas one, as it covers up all the problem bits that couldn't be done with our low tech poop.

Manga Video wasn't the biggest problem the crap movies they chose and that they split films into multiple videos, costing full price?
