    General anime thoughts/discussion thread.

    Not to Jerome it ain't!... or at least it wasn't last year, when he posted a blog disguised as a resume that helpfully fills in some blanks. Doesn't mention Animatsu, though. I approve of him masking it as empathy for others seeking employment on Linkedin btw. 'Tis cunning. My Resume is...

    General anime thoughts/discussion thread.

    I'm with you now, Turbanator. I think?.. I recalled Jerome was involved with Animatsu (mainly as they had so few releases, most of which I owned) but thought him to be a mere representative of Mangle/Matsu. Tbf, he wasn't nearly as memorable to me as Andrew with his passion to bring French...

    Japanese Blu-rays with English Support (Subtitles and Audio) Thread

    You are a bigger fan than meeeee, in that case, as I never got around to buying the novels and have yet to delve into audiobooking (though I do know the novel Bloodlust based on is called 'Death Chase'. A more accurate though less memorable title~) Are the novels well written? I'd read the...

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    Ah, the bright-eyed optimism of youth, still shining through tears of anguish, after all these months. I envy you, truly, Tim~ One would think, now even early orders are moving, that is true--that tomorrow is the day; that next week is the week. Logic suggests the backlog is no more, after...

    UK Anime Christmas Sales for 2025 [Anime Ltd's 12 Days of Xmas + More]

    Tim, if you wait much longer, April the 1st and Easter will be upon us! 🐰 I wonder, will AL finish before 🥚s, and who will have the last laugh if so?~ Personaly, I'm looking forward to the Easter sale. I'm sure Hanners is too as there will be less in the way of complicated orders.

    What manga are you reading now?

    Images of manga, huh? Shadow Cat, you have started meeeeee, so I offer no apologies for doing the same. Alas, 2D Lesbians are not my passion~ Adabana(na): Vol 1-2 Rintaro: My Life in 24 Frames Per Second A quote best sums zis up: "Film is the interplay of shadow and light." A few quickie...

    General anime thoughts/discussion thread.

    Crunchyroll's Disney-esque masterplan to buy all the competition, then force everyone to subscribe to watch subpar quality anime is certainly inkeeping with modern life: own nothing, rent everything. Subscribe 4 lief~ PS: I'm not in-the-kno regarding Jerome, so what was (a)ironic? He did make a...

    Gungrave: Collector's Edition Review

    🐍❄️ covered what I would say (albeit with less words, congratulations for that), more or less. Mostly less~ Your username is a missed opportunity, by the way: there's Solid Snake, Liquid, Solidus, etc. Cold Snake might be a tad... obvious, but would you consider Liquid Nitrogen Snake? Or at...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    As do I! 🙃Well, the first 20-30 eps of Touch. After that, Minami's cursed to eternal filler-padding chastity. How did you come across them, if I may be so bold as to ask? When newer to anime, I went on quite the... 'holy old school rom-com trio' odyssey; watching Ikkoku, Touch and KOR...

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    That's less than ideal, then. Multiple eps unsubbed reads like an even worse cock-up. If that went uncorrected... welp. One of the unhappy Amazon reviewers mentioned getting replacement discs, so I assumed was some form of replacement scheme. They most likely ordered a replacement from Amazon...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    'Tis becoming increasingly rare for a Discotek release to appeal of late. Their newer licenses tend to be live action, re-releases or... obscure. Thus, I'm very much in ze 'nothing intersets meeee' camp atm. I had hoped after UY that Disco would license Ikkoku, or Touch, to go along with KOR...

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    In-step with the above mislabeling, I have some work for @Roy. 'Tis fortuitous you made this topic for me. I don't think it's widely known as few buy CEs to actually watch anime but there's been a major 🐓-up with the UK AoT final season steelbook. I learned about it via Amazon reviews--there...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Indeed, I had forgotten to say tyvm to @JeiKaos, myself: they're hefty and well made. In truth though, perhaps I should be cursing Jeff for adding more tat to my room I need not--rather than ends for books, I need rid of books. This does not help with my mission. That aside, I was drawn to...

    Your anime viewing journal

    Soul Eater 1-5 All these years, the intro sequence in Soul Eater stayed with me: the dark, narrow cobbled alleyways, with a freaky-stylish Halloween aesthetic (which reminds me of KH Halloween Town), as an overly large moon sits psychotically smirking in the sky. A monster with claws is busily...
