Ah, so that would be why I imported Sentai's Chaika (Oui!) release: for S2. Manga were likely trying to spare us all, knowing S2 a rushed/messy conclusion~ Had the Manga release 2015. Upgraded to Sentai's 2022 complete set for £38. Then came AL in 2024 with their RRP £69.99/£39.99 early bird x2...

'Tis a self-fulfilling prophecy for AL, a lot of the time: they lag behind US releases so much that by the time we get them, it's old hat only alluring to collectors that want to double dip at heavily discounted prices. As was the case with me Chaika/Kaiji. Regarding those two, also worse value...

...Emma? You're surely a braver man than me: found that so dull was compelled to shift my TRS DVD sets (after finishing S2~). 'Tis a pity 'Bride Story' never got adapted, as that has more colourful female characters--Emma may as well have been a maid android. That aside, I felt a competitive...

:: Kill Bill I acquired for '3 for 15% off' WauHd VALUE. Turns out the the film is split between two discs... like it was already. Great success. :: 28 Days Later pre-ordered not knowing the video quality is closer to VHS than 4k, only having watched once on DVD. Greatest success. ...

To my sorrow, I already own both the Sentai set and the first AL CE (with my Sentai discs inside). So, I fear I could go ever so slightly too wrong, buying once more, £3.50 or no. Great pricing nonetheless... that I can only see as a pointed insult, given they are essentially giving away that...

It has been a long time, my old friend: since Christmas! These sales draw in many... users. Perhaps our meeting again is fitting, given you will soon no longer be the bane of your father; back to school 'n all. Can see why you were drawn back, with that in mind~ In truth, I too was perplexed by...

And I never graduated at all!... mainly mentally. 'Tis most displeasing. Thus, to avoid traumatic memories re-surfacing, I shall be abstaining from this sale. Given only grown men/womens buy anime, t'would make more sense if the sale was titled 'YOUR kids are going back to school, freedom...

That's a shame: was asking more out of hope as had similarly traumatic ends with all 3 of my dogs, so you're not alone. Our last we had the vet come out to us, to put him to sleep, after taking him to the vets the day before and not able put him down there and then. Time before that far worse...

Think it's something to do with the camera lens on phones that sets them off to head side-to-side/up-down mode, as you are left calling their name in a loop, in the misguided hope they'll look at the camera and stay still~ Didn't help on my end Westies are notoriously stubbourn. Never/rarely...

She looks a bit miffed to be photographed/have a phone pointed at--in her bed, of all places! Toby was the same, though in his case he'd refuse to look at the camera. His bed was similar to Roxy's. Might be the same actually/got on Amazon--can be sure at the very least she was comfortable in...

Did you know in advance she was ill? Don't usually post such things but am always sorry to read about losing pets, for reasons obvious. At least she lived to a good age. Princess/Tob barely made it to 9/10. Try to focus on that--that she had a good innings, and that time just caught up to her...

Mein apologies, I was mixing up shipping with VAT: you're correct, my most recent order - after the new website change - did indeedly not charge the 20% tax. Was misremembering before the website change. Have ordered since and received no fees, UK side. $173, £127, no problemo. Pretty sure most...

@fabio de lunatico mentioned Monster is on back-order atm... and yet, @Girls with Guns has his copy, proudly posted in the photo thread a few days ago. 😒

A follow-up to my 7-8 years late Bebop AL giganto metal storage yyy chest acquisition: today received another artbook direct from Nippon. Everything chronologically ordered, from 1997-2001. There must have been some licensing issues or else Andrew proving once more to be useless at giving meeee...

Feeling lazy since nothing has triggered my semi-autistic tltr recently, soooo... here be my latest (failed) attempt at being concise. Ganbare, Aion~ Lupin the IIIrd: Zenigata and the Two Lupins 5.5/10 Perhaps fittingly given its snowy Mother... "R/Loviet" setting, this proved to be the only...
