I don't think it was an unwillingness that kept Kawajiri away initially (although it may be now as his era came and went. Time waits for no-one, after all~) Noticed in years gone by he'd still occasionally get credited for storyboards; be it for specific episodes or openings. Made me feel a bit...

Great thread. Read through the posts on the first page. Interesting insights & ramblings. My turn~ Partly due to anime becoming a more mainstream / global product, and in doing so losing the allure of what originally attracted me, my interest has faded. Only really re-buy stuff owned on DVD...

Black Jacku (OVA) Ep1-2 Had watched 10/12 of this, when fairly new to anime. Remember basically sod all, besides 9/10ing it, so it's like watching for the first time anew~ What attracted me way back when was it being a darker re-imagining of Tezuka's work (which I never read). Recalled it...

Had a true Christmas miracle earlier: sunlight, during winter, in Warsaw ('twas dobry~). Thus, I took the chance whilst waiting for 🦃 dinner to snap a few shots of xmas tat. Vampire Hunter D (Bloodlust, remastered) is a Japanese import (Kawajiri <3), and Angel Egg an Aussie import. Neither...

THIS IS MY RAGE!!!111!!! ...is what I'd like to say--apathy all got left fueling me. Well, aside from for Google making an order for 30+ items, after the bullet point argument against Re Zero S2, but I digress~ My deets are: December 2, 2025 at 10:16 am || x4 BOGOFF || £69.98 || Result: Nein...

^ 'Tis what Google AI answered when asked, which goes vaguely with memory: after end of v4 diverges, and although I thought closer to the last third where anime differed, guess it only the last 2-3eps (pretty sure was some filler earlier in the anime, too). The manga was still on-going when the...

Question for anyone in-the-kno about takeovers/profits, as this end of year chaos has had my noggin' joggin': Could the decisions made regarding an obv lack of staff X all pre-orders crammed in before year's end - during a hectic sale - be linked to the Toho acquisition? TLTR: 'Tis a curiousity...

Had something sell on eBay. Thus, had e-monies~ Been ages since looked what anime 'all ur music' selling (pain to find anything on their page as can't select genre, tho cookie voyeuring apprantly had this trio popup~). They oft have '20% off 3 items' promos, and more importantly no shipping...

'Tis all the more unfortunate when it a gift/store exclusive, I'm assuming? Customer service officially dead until next year, unless Hanners goes pro-bono. Had same situ last year with a dented xmas pre-order... or was it the year before? (all blurs into one with AL tbh...) Wasn't able to...

...Christmas officially cancelled, then, barring any last minute DHLing miracles. Dai was correct: Sat a no-go zone. Cheers Andrew, son's crying downstairs now. Since 'tis all but done & dusted, and I know I'm being unreasonable wanting orders made 2-3weeks ago, I shalt leave this (full...

....Maybe 'twas overly optimistic if they don't even work Sat, that they may yet get through most of the backlog, last min. Overtime a possibility before going on holiday. They would however have to pay the few overwhelmed staff they employ (can't imagine a third-party shipping partner be this...

Had not considered possiblity of S2 being short when S1 28eps. Given how high budget S1, a series under half the length promises much visual splendour. Maybelline~ Makes sense though: author went on hiatus after v13 iirc, and think v14 latest in 🗾?

My best guess is - being as the last few days some other, smaller orders not dated Dec 2nd randomly sent as well - they're most likely leaving the big orders 'till last. Sending those expedited delivery/DHL, and getting rid the smaller orders asap RM would be my hope anyway... as it also the...

T'would be arrogant of one such as myself to think I could compare to you, Girly-dono, but I too own a few shoujo anime from disco: Kodocha and Lovely Complex. Us middle aged/old men (+Roy) should arrange a cowatch together - at night - so we can enjoy Sana from Kodocha together. Purely for...

Is that like the 'breastplate stretcher' in Game of Thrones? 🤔
