It's worrying to see titles released in the last year or two already being on a clearance sale. On the one hand it's encouraging that they're willing to release niche titles like Kaiji, but on the other hand this clearance sale lineup does seem a depressing justification of why they've turned...

I'd be interested to know if the Blu-ray for Monster looks any better than the Netflix stream. The Netflix upscale is very blurry.

Much as I love Bloodlust, it already has a good Blu-ray release. What we really need is the 80s OAV with the 90s dub; that's been missing from all Blu-ray releases to date. I'm only likely to double dip on Bloodlust if it gets a lavish edition with a large format art book and the soundtrack CD.

Rather like Girls und Panzer: Das Finale, it's one of those mini-movie series that has settled into a very slow release cadence where you're lucky if they release a new episode every two years. If it keeps following that pattern (which isn't confirmed), the sixth movie might screen in Japanese...

It's not as described, so you should definitely be entitled to a refund, even if the item has been opened. Hardware that requires an app to function is a brick waiting to happen. Sooner or later it either falls out of compatibility with OS updates, gets discontinued, or the developer...

Aha! I've been hoping for this one.

Anyone planning to participate in the Playstation Blackout? It starts this Sunday. https://www.pushsquare.com/news/2026/08/irate-physical-game-fans-prepare-for-their-big-ps5-blackout

Oh no, they went full hipster. £44 Chainsaw Man t-shirts? £70 shorts? Who is this rubbish for?

I have never respected you more. What little I watched of that repugnant, sloppily written and incompetently made mess wasn't worth the cost of the electricity it took to stream it.

I wonder what this will mean for MVM, since they mostly release Sentai titles.

The most interesting thing about Fighting Force (possibly the only interesting thing...) is that it was originally in development as a Streets of Rage game, but the developer had to file the serial number off when they had a disagreement with Sega about what platforms to release it on.

I've been sorting out FTTP broadband and a VoIP landline for my parents and it's been an absolute shambles at every step. What they had before worked perfectly, but they're having to move providers because the UK copper phone network is being phased out and they want to keep a landline. They...

I bought a copy of this art book back in the mid 90s, sold it about ten years later when I was penniless, and regretted it ever since. So here I am buying another copy.

His leather jacket and headband are lined with Kevlar, but it's not mentioned in the anime. I only recall that from the liner notes included with the VHS release. Those notes don't explain how he can rip a car door off with his bare hands though... I presume that was rhetorical, but if not then...

Nothing that interesting, I'm afraid. I was just going for a hike up a mountain when I turned and saw wildfires burning in the valley below. The flames spelt the words Slender, Denim, Jean. Then an old shepherd walked by, wearing skinny jeans and a Zaku-shaped helmet.
