I had no idea this was even a thing! Handing out random businesses' stock is just bizarre.

It's a sorry state of affairs, but it's increasingly clear that any enthusiasm for anime as anything but content to keep subscriptions active has long since been wrung out of Crunchyroll and the companies they gobbled up. That they kept Funimation's physical release pipeline going this long...

Still nothing shipped for me either, and with the added bonus that the order I cancelled at the start of the week hasn't been refunded yet. 😑

That's the one.

I'll be buying Endo and Kobayashi. It's a fun show that tells a complete story in a single cour.

I ended up cancelling my whole BOGOF order (six items). I emailed them about it last night and they confirmed the cancellation by midday today. Just waiting for the refund now. This enhanced cooling-off period made me realise that I was fine without most of the items in that specific order. I...

Great news. It's surprising that we have confirmation of this when there isn't even a trailer yet.

@Hanners , can you please confirm whether Newswire blog posts will be resuming this year?

This somewhat complicates things for the two girls who are in love with him/her, but not in the ways you might expect. I...

Full Metal Schoolgirl I could start by describing this game, but you really need to see it to appreciate its gloriously OTT charm. As you probably gathered from the trailer, it's a comedic anime-style third-person shooter that's full of personality. Coming from the developer of the Earth...

Playstation wrap-up 2025. I'm surprised that Metaphor is on there; I thought I hadn't played that since last year. I was expecting Silent Hill f to be in that spot.
