Yes exactly, I loved how after a book full of the protagonist's negative opinion of himself and his life of much shame (I agree the opening line is a classic as well!), there was this light with different perspective being so glowing of the poor soul. I loved that juxtaposition and the end on an...

I most certainly have, especially given that I was thinking of foldable furniture rather than electronics🤣 I couldn't agree more with your sentiments. Silver lining for me was the news helping me decide not to buy the next console and stop adding to a collection that I, at present, feel like...

I wasn't going to take any chances, like I did with the sound of euphonium series 😭, and ended up paying stupid money for the awesome CE for season one and the steel book for season 2 (don't think there was a CE for that one?) from Sentai

Never a dull moment with you guys around, I have absolutely no idea what this SLR table you guys are on about is (and no @Girls with Guns, this is not an invitation to enlighten me!), but I have had a proper chuckle at that act of aggression comment of yours @Aion (Retired)

I adore No Longer Human (even my pink one!!) and I feel that, the same way that Millennium Actress has the best final line from the protagonist in that story, No a Longer Human has the best final line from an observer character of the story. Short digression: I happen to be reading my first...

Come on old man, we're too slow to keep up with youngsters like @RadFemHedonist 😂

I loved this when I saw it on the big screen and this post reminded me to actually order it (thanks Grav!!), after initially planning to pre-order but promptly forgetting. Was quite worried it would be out of stock/print, but managed to just order now from hmv, who seem to have the best price...

Surely a true anime fan can tell exactly what is on the shelf even from a distance; older folk with less impressive visual acuity, such as myself, will nonetheless very much appreciate enjoying your collection in all its magnified glory. Doggo is adorable, so sorry for your loss. I can't bring...

That is a most enviable collection @Aion, and speaking of holidays, I am happy to babysit (dvdsit?) it for you anytime - no sticky fingers, promise! And @RadFemHedonist how very dare you deprive us of your collection thus far?!!

Both of those series are excellent and rather prescient, he is quite the creative indeed and I can only hope that he keeps making more thought-provoking series. And yes, Anno's overarching presence with Eva sadly takes the spotlight off of the excellent team who put it together, I can't imagine...

Heheh I'd not considered the eBay laundry service, which does make sense now when I recall some of the similarly ludicrous pricing on there. I jest, as I certainly wouldn't buy anime at stupid prices nor with a view to sell, rather only with a view to add to my fiercely guarded collection (as...

Anime investment expert! So, dear sir, which boxsets are you planning on buying over the next year (he asks whilst getting his notepad and pen ready)?

I too had very excitedly started re-watching the first season, after the increasingly unexpected news of the second season. I expected to have forgotten most of the plot, which I most certainly had - especially had forgotten how bat$h*t mental this show is! Like the more recent chainsaw man...

I've likely missed discussions, if any have been had, on this but are there any plans for MVM to release any of the Rascal series after their season 1 version? Not especially keen on finding and then forking out for the US versions if it can be avoided

Ah cool, thanks for clarifying. I just realized the Netflix movie was the original movie post series. Have just found the specials on crunchyroll and looking forward to watching those! And even more QQ on the horizon it seems, happy days.
