I was thinking about this. I've never bought full retail games digitally, because they've always been available physically at least for anything I wanted. Except for some very low priced things like Arcade Archives, I've also only bought digital when it's on sale because I don't view it as worth...

Well, Endo and Kobayashi Live! is the only one that appealed to me and I bought. Not sure if that is a positive or a negative for you since our tastes don't always line up. 😁 I have not watched it yet, but I found the premise interesting. If I don't have it confused with another show, I used to...

Oh! I didn't notice and am not familiar with the material. Weird coincidence that they are releasing one day apart then.

Hahaha 😆 at the heading on the latest MediaOCD email: A Same MediaOCD Store And Member Experience Is Coming Soon

Dr. Stone for me, which I'm sure will get a UK release. I already have AL's standard and Nozomi's LE for A Silent Voice and I am not interested in the other two. It is interesting that the UK Kaiju No. 8 steelbook has different cover art. Edit: The news announcement also says Shield Hero S4...

You may be right, but they've really cut down on any kind of collector's editions as well, but are kind of doubling down on steelbooks, though that seems more common with Crunchyroll UK than US. It remains to be seen what they're going to offer on this new version of the store though.

I don't think so. Remember, it was the Sony-owned Funimation who bought Crunchyroll but then took on the latter's name, not the other way around. Given that everything they've done since has seemingly emphasized streaming over physical media, the behavior is certainly more like it was CR buying...

That's also my personal worry, for Rascal (not a Madoka fan). Some Aniplex Japan blu-rays have English subtitles, but I think they only really do that for things that AoA also releases, so that won't likely be a solution either.

In light of the Crunchyroll store news, I ordered the Rascal Does Not Dream of Santa Claus blu-ray set, the only Aniplex USA title I want that I don't already have.

I believe they are indeed exclusive. Robert's Anime Corner Store sells them, but at higher prices and I'm pretty sure he buys them from Crunchyroll and not at wholesale prices. The Aniplex "store" just links to Crunchryoll for blu-rays: Aniplex of America When it was still Rightstuf selling...

I wasn't sure if this was better posted here or in the gaming news thread...through the end of July, an English translation by the author of the original Megami Tensei novel will be online: https://note.com/aya_nishitani/n/n7b66d6f29724

I believe this is a thing primarily with non-Japanese so-called AAA developers. I don't really buy games of this type, and I don't think I own a single game where the entire game isn't on the disc, aside of course from the occasional one that requires some pretty significant patch that you...

Tony Rayns, who has done extras for many Asian film releases on disc, has passed away. Here is a nice article via MediaOCD: https://mediaocd.com/tony-rayns-1948-2026/

Depending on your view of game key cards, Nintendo is already doing it. Yes you can resell them, but aside from that one bit as far as I'm concerned game key cards are just as bad as digital-only games. But there are more relevant reasons I won't own a Switch 2 so that falls into the "don't...

With the posts that are surrounding yours on this page, you might as well have posted that image directly. :p
