    Anime soundtracks on Vinyl/CD and sound systems/equipment

    'Tis against my way of the ninja to ignore anyone, for that would be most rude! And ignorant. As an example of this, Girly-dono was quoting a post I made awhile back (he finally no doubt realised only you/him type about vinyls). And had you not opted to ignore meeee, you'd have likely discovered...

    Your anime viewing journal

    Given they were ✂️ ing an already heavily compressed (some of the final 11ish/37 eps covered around 8 chapters!) last half, they ended up outright skipping reasoning/logic, much less giving insight into Near zoning in on 'L' and his Mikami/DLT realisation. Tbh though, bar the sappy end vs Ryuk...

    Hello, Rizzler. Thine effortless charisma drew me in~ I own the JP import release of Trust/Betrayal + Reflections OVAs. As well as the 'Samurai X' brick DVD box set, which included the sequel OVA series and iirc included a TV series movie. The dub is included for both OVAs on the Nippon BDs...

    Link I Saw The Devil (aka the follow-up to Bittersweet Life; same director/lead actor duo) finally getting a 4k release Jan 2027 by Umbrella in 🦘. Quite a few noteworthy things in email got, including a 'Satan's Sword' JP film trilogy and Memento 4k / Nolan's best film with up to $100-300...

    The *Im looking for* thread.

    https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/188971794620 Used the seller a lot. If you make an offer of around £60, they will accept. Can also currently activate a 10% off eBay coupon, on the listing page itself before making an offer. They stack.

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Can't remember if viewed Emma dubbed tho that's deffo a series you don't want to be reading in the dark, tired. Bride Story worked in contrast (for meee) because of its mini-arc structure evading boredom/tedium. Each feature different (although sometimes returning) heroines. The more...

    What did you BUY today?

    Not to be pedantic, butt: you posted that 4.35AM UK time. And ain't you and ceefax combined in the 130yo age bracket? I'm a young whipper snapper in comparison. I'd argue we're only as as old/young as we feel tho...lol Didn't mean to be mean, like: just ya'll likely do better in yall own...

    What did you BUY today?

    In a non-kinky way, you three (and maybe Otomo can join, too) need to get a room. Where's Roy when you actually need him/her!? These people need a dedicated clamshell turntable thread! With zrdb as OP, ideally. All this talk of knob turning going to 11 and technical equipment names - even...

    Your horror surely pales in comparison to mein own: owned Shirobaka for (too) many years. Despite loathing AL's affinity for white spines/boxes (Bleach + Code Geass' movies had me contorted in anguish). Have I ever watched it, despite paying much more than £9.99?... NO/NEIN!1! Once more, my cup...

    Our AI overlords report it was £149.99, with no early bird, originally. Though I could be mistaken as didn't purchase. 🦀 Regardless, instead of rehashing last year's new arrivals with minimal discounting - if any - they should've offered Chaika + Kaiji as S1+2 bundles. £19.99 or £29.99. Dress...

    We are likely are opposites, given I used to prefer dubs before switching back to JP. Laura Bailey did... things to my ears. Dubs are easier to watch with other people, too, which is a +1 for those not eager to read 'n watch. Forgot you have that thread in the creative section for your various...

    Did mention Blood+/OOP in America in that post, Glory. Although in all fairness I was rather... despair-generalising by saying "All they are good for anymore is Naruto and Gundam... so MNEH!" More accurate would be this: all AL are good for is Naruto/Bleach in a timely manner, in recent years...

    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...
