Game #13 - PRAGMATA (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 16.04.2026 - Started: 23.04.2026 - Finished: 04.05.2026 (Story), 05.05.2026 (Post-Game Content) I haven't decided on my next game but I will probably take a break to focus on the anime backlog for once. I do want to finish some more before the...

I've been thinking about how to proceed with AL CEs given the varied quality in the past few years, so from this recent slate I'll get the CEs for Bleach TYBW Part 3, The Dangers in My Heart Season 2 and Gundam SEED FREEDOM, but the standard edition Blu-rays for Colorful Stage, Undead Unluck and...

April Haul #5 Work overload this past week and I did receive one final package before the month was over (on the 24th in fact). #9: Anime Limited Spring Sale Haul May Haul #1 New month. New items. Just one which arrived today. #1: Summer Wars

88 Films have revealed their July slate which has some pretty cool additions for fans of Jackie Chan, Shaw Brothers and CATIII content. Magnificent Bodyguards 3D - 13th July This one has been in production hell due to the 3D technology that 88 Films wanted to provide to give us the best...

Well that's disappointing. They really fumbled this series.

Saw a tweet that mentioned Akane-banashi is now available to watch on YouTube for UK & Ireland users, which means there shouldn't be any need to go for Netflix if you want to watch the latest episodes asap subbed.

New MediaOCD updates. SKETCHBOOK ~full color'S~ is now available to pre-order. The 2007 slice-of-life series previously released by Nozomi Entertainment on DVD is now back in print for Blu-ray under the AnimEigo label. This is available for UK/IE users to order. Extras include Picture...

Been a crazy past few days at work. They announced a downsizing to the business which meant that 20 people in total were at risk of redundancy, including myself, but only 13 would be redundant. The results were in today and can confirm I survived but everyone assumed I was safe anyway. The...

JUNE 2026 SLATE There's still delays on Discotek's part but they have revealed their June release slate which pretty much nails down a majority of the titles that were still in their 'to be released' catalogue. Release date for these titles is 30th June 2026. ANIMEAudio/SubsContentSRPFormat...

I really liked their US style sets as it helps with the shelf-space, but eventually they moved over to Scanavo. Curious to see if they will do any more like this in the Summer slate.

April Haul #4 Yep we have a massive amount of new items today, three packages from three different retailers. I reckon this will be one of the last pickups of the month unless Anime Limited ships out the Easter sale haul. #8: Absolute Cinema

April Haul #3 One big package arrived from Stackry last Friday plus I also took a trip to town yesterday. There are a couple more packages (consisting of 88 Films' April releases, Radiance Films' April bundle and Arrow Video's April releases) on their way likely to be tomorrow but photos will...

Akira (Japanese audio) - Film A re-watch! A rarity on my part (though something that I want to look into more especially with anime that I watched very early on). For those curious, this 4K restoration is the exact same one that was shown by Manga Entertainment & Funimation so there's nothing...

Game #12 - Nioh 3 (PlayStation 5) Acquired: 05.02.2026 - Started: 31.03.2026 - Finished: 16.04.2026 (Story), 16.04.2026 (Platinum) I caved and decided to play Nioh 3 sooner. Honestly it was the right choice as I felt like I was in paralysis when it came to picking the next PlayStation 4...

Round 4 of Discotek's latest Deep Dive additions are now available this month. As a reminder, the titles are in SRP but in return you do get points on the MediaOCD Store ($1 for every 10 points). The previous batch are all still available but I recommend ordering some sooner than later if...
