Thought I'd revive this thread to see if anyone is studying. How's it going? Where are you at with your progress? I passed N5 half a year ago, but I have a day job that requires me to constantly study. My brain is always tired, which makes it difficult to keep up the pace on the studying. I'm...

I was an Anime Unlimited member for a year recently. The list of perks mentioned a yearly magazine, but I never received one. I don't really mind, I only signed up for the discounts, but I'm just curious: did anyone else ever receive anything like that? I only ask because AL have hosted some...

True fans always keep a good supply of spares of the classics. That's why I own 750 VHS copies of Odin. (Lol, looks like the listing has ended. A shame - I was looking for a quick way to build a Beyblade DVD collection. Aah well, a man can dream...)

A great shame there was such a big gap between the US and UK release of Project A-Ko. I own the US standard version, but I would have much preferred to buy any UK version, and especially the collectors edition. For the folks who don't own it yet: it's well worth picking up. Gorgeous...

Don't know if anyone from the ATA website stalks this thread nowadays, but: https://www.alltheanime.com/collections/deal-of-the-week Users can get to this page by clicking Products > Deal of the Week. As you can see, it doesn't list anything. This may or may not be intentional - but the...

Interesting that the link preview mentions Cowboy Bebop and Perfect Blue. I wonder if those are going on sale at a later date. [ Edit: Cowboy Bebop - Complete Series Collector's Edition - Not sure if this is one of the easter eggs, or if it's always at this discounted price.]

Any visual kei / J-Rock fans on this sub? Recently I've been listening to a lot of Dir en Grey, Janne Da Arc, and Malice Mizer. I especially like J-Rock that is gothy and proggy, or at least goth-adjacent and prog-adjacent. Here's a Janne Da Arc song I like:

I'd love to have some of my favourite Manga Video VHS again, purely for decorative purposes. If ever I saw them in a charity shop for £1 a tape or something, I'd definitely snap them up. Of course, they go for far more than that on ebay etc, which is fair enough.

You're doing great work! Thank you very much!

I'm 42, so Manga Video was my gateway into everything too. :) Welcome to the site!

Adding my name to the list of folks who subbed to Unlimited for a year but didn't receive a magazine.

I've seen BOGOF offers in the past with other companies that match items based on price - but I take your point, there's plenty of BOGOF offers in the wild that are just "cheapest item free". In a physical shop it isn't a problem because you can just put everything through as two or more...

HAHA, omg, I never noticed that it was under my name on every post as well! Omg, how observant of me. Derren Brown would have a field day with me, I swear. I have noticed similar things under other people's usernames though, and it's always confused me. I assumed it was just a randomly...

Evil Scientist, obvs.

Yeah agreed. It's a bit meaningless to me to have a random show by my name. Again though, I don't mind really. Absolutely not a hill I'm willing to die on, lol. Just something I happened to notice.
