    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

    On my S2/3 sets, the text does not react to light/reflections, is ze thing. Now that I look closer, the S1 CR logo on my copy has a matching finish with the text... where as on the final season the logo is plain white, unlike whatever they did to the text. So it's not even consistent on the same...

    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...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    Just a quickie follow-up on this, now that I have S&W pt2 (which, fyi, is the sum of all fears and ain't a seperate pt2 CE): Initially I said the 14mm 4-disc case got stuck and, even if shake like a 🪇, it won't easily come out. I think over time though it's either loosened - without the aid of...

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

    I hate to nitpick - truly, I do, as 'tis rude - however, despite you suddenly being as active as the 'action' part of your name suggests, both here 👍ing and everywhere else on the forum, you have totally blanked me--and not only meeee, but Kawajiri too! I am not trying to lure you into a pact...

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

    Not to be redundant - as I also lack a 🐴 in this mess now - butt: when I cancelled my Dec 13th order awhile back, it was on the day my Dec 2nd Bleach BOGOFFs were sent. 'Twas likely a coincidence (though many are still waiting for their BOGOFFs) but in my cancellation email I did mention the...

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

    @ActionFaust Macross DYRL has English subtitles. Own and watched it. That aside... ...Hmm, this is vexing: unless blindness is obscuring it, I cannot see VHD: Bloodlust listed there~ If this is because it lacks subs, the UK release didn't either, and the default option even in Japan is English...

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

    You type as if my vantage point does not enable me to see with greater clarity. I look out for my comrades, whilst knowing I can attain greater power by severing the bonds that bind. That is no contradiction! Wolves hunt from up high, as I do in Warsaw... which is currently entrenched in snow...

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

    You wrong me with such accusations of manipulation, whilst quoting my typo: only pure hearted intent, as a godly man, guides meeee~ There is no desire in my cold heart to taunt Andrew back onto AUKN, either! PS: I posted my cancellation order, number 'n all, as an image earlier in this...
