Is anyone else having trouble checking out at Anime On Line? I can't see any option to pay by card or Paypal, and if I get two or more items past the free shipping threshold, there's a random penny added to the total.

So Jerome Mazandarani now writes the Answerman column, and yesterday’s offering was about Sony/Crunchyroll’s destruction of the physical media market.. I’m impressed that he wrote all that with zero irony or self awareness. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2026-02-09/.233909

I imported the Region 1 DVD years ago, probably from Right Stuf. Looking on Amazon US, there is still one copy listed, but the Blu-ray seems to be a lot harder to find there. Either way it's not cheap.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 has turned up for my first rewatch. It's even harder to watch knowing what's coming. The TV equivalent of Grave of the Fireflies.

My latest purchase is really digging into nostalgia. I watched this show as a kid, the UK's answer to Charlie Brown. I can't believe it's got a Blu-ray release.

Just to mention, it seems Anime Limited haven't yet restored the original pricing to their MVM Standard Editions from the XMas sale price at this time.

Three days later... Most of my Rarewaves order shows up, five out of seven items. I expect that they split the order, but just to be sure, I e-mailed customer service to check. The human or AI bot replied in seven minutes.

Was there something else in your order that gets released later. In that case you'll only get one e-mail when the final item in your order dispatches.

Pre-ordered from Anime on Line (stupid £50 free shipping limit!)

If anyone had been placing bets... Anime Limited won. Two boxes of 20 items just showed up. I'm okay with Rarewaves. I've only had one issue with them, and customer service sorted it sharpish. But I'll be expecting their delivery in ten days or so. I'm used to them being slow.

So today, Rarewaves posted out my Crunchyroll sale order. It's a race now!

Wasn’t me then. I thought they didn’t work on the weekend. Just got my Day 2 orders shipping notices, 20 minutes apart.

So that’s the rest of Sound Euphonium confirmed then…

That's a must buy. I'd buy it, if I didn't already have two copies (3 including the DVD)

Just click on anime and sort by price lowest to highest, and the cheap stuff shall flow. I spent £50 earlier today on Plunderer Parts 1 and 2, No Guns Life S1 and S2, ID Invaded, Kemono Jihen, and My Home Hero at Rarewaves.
