I did not see this coming! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2025-04-02/netflix-to-stream-new-the-rose-of-versailles-anime-film-on-april-30/.223155

Nothing knocked my socks off here. I'm not a fan of most first-party Nintendo franchises though, so your mileage will probably vary. The new Mario Kart being open world is a surprise, but I find open world racing games rather slow and bloated experiences. The only thing that got me excited was...

AL releases have had quality control issues for a while, but this time the show is the quality control issue. Stranger things have happened. Discotek released Chargeman Ken. Criterion released Salo. There's a market for morbid curiosity about utter ****, I guess. But, assuming this is real, AL...

Three blaster boxes of Panini 2022 WWE Chronicles trading cards. I've been looking at trading cards for a few different subjects, with my reaction typically being, "They cost how much?!", even for boxes selling at RRP. Ordering a few boxes at once let me combine international shipping, so they...

I stumbled across the Amazon listing for an upcoming Eureka box set called Strange New Worlds: Science Fiction at DEFA. I'd never heard of this old East German studio, but this collection of their SF movies from the 60s and 70s looks interesting in Eureka's trailer. The included movies are The...

I've bought Godzilla vs Megalon three times, so I can't judge.

I'm hoping for a sane price on Macross Plus, but I doubt that will happen before December at the earliest.

These are crazy-cheap on Amazon right now. £44 for all six seasons of Supergirl, £50 for all nine seasons of The Flash. Just be aware that they use those high-capacity Scanavo cases that pack the discs in like sardines.

Time for a bit of thread necromancy. Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong The quality of Godzilla comics has been all over the place, but this is definitely one of the best I've read. It ties into (one of many versions of) an important moment in Superman's life, which gives it some emotional...

You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Is there no isekai bad enough to not get a second season?!

I don't know if this is still the case, but at one time it wasn't unusual for licensors to force bundles of shows on licensees. In order to licence Popular Show A, they would also have to pay for Flopped Shows Y and Z. It was a way for licensors to claw back some money on failed shows that made...

I have to agree. I made two attempts at watching Vlad Love, but only got through five episodes. If it hadn't had Oshii's name attached I would have dropped it after one.

I saw that in the 80s, but was young at the time and only have vague memories of it. The main things I recall are the twist about the old man and that it was pretty dark even by 80s child entertainment standards.

That's interesting. I had no idea that Seven Seas releases audiobooks.

Long Gone Days I probably would have enjoyed this more if it had been released 15+ years ago. Playing it now, this indie RPG's story set in the flashpoint of an impending war between Russia and Europe just feels too close to reality to do anything but push up my anxiety level. Granted, the...
