Only Yesterday is my favourite film from Studio Ghibli, understated and melancholic I think it's a beautiful examination of life.

Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai! - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] This had been one of the few Oshii anime I hadn't seen and after reading @Professor Irony 's comments on it I had to see it. It's an interesting OVA, simultaneously genius, bizarre and at times quite tedius it is an extremely compelling watch...

One Piece Film: Red So I'm not really much of an One Piece fan, but I always take any opportunity to see anime at the cinema. It felt a bit overlong and it did make laugh so overall it was OK. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Episodes 24 - 26 [Final] (Blu-ray) I have so enjoyed Yamato 2199...

Fatal Fury 2: The New Battle (Blu-ray) A bit longer than the first OVA and so this one has a bit more of a fleshed out story. The movie is still the peak Fatal Fury anime but I did like The New Battle, it was a solid and entertaining fighting game anime. Mobile Suit Gundam F91 (Blu-ray) I've...

Fatal Fury: Legend of the Hungry Wolf (Blu-ray) This first OVA was very by the numbers and to be expected within its 45 minute time, but I liked it and gave Terry Bogard's origin story. Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Episodes 8 - 19 (Blu-ray) I am really enjoying Yamato 2199. Mobile Suit...

Space Battleship Yamato 2199 - Episodes 1 - 7 (Blu-ray) I have been meaning to watch this ever since it was announced as I am a big fan of the original 70's TV series. I've had the BD set on the shelf for a while (having picked it up very chep in a Zavvi sale in 2020) so I cued it up after I...

Mobile Suit Gundam : The Witch from Mercury - Episode 3 Urusei Yatsura (2022) - Episode 1 I've watched a chunk of the original and have been very open mined about this adaption. This first episode was your standard setup and if I'm honest I'm not entirely convinced by the art style used but...

Mobile Suit Gundam : The Witch from Mercury - Episode 2 Super Beast Machine God Dancouga - Episodes 22 - 26 (Blu-ray) Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 107 - 111 (Blu-ray) I love the title of that show, just trips off the tongue 😂

Mobile Suit Gundam : The Witch from Mercury - Episode 1 I really liked this first episode of The Witch from Mercury and I can't wait to see more. Venus Wars (Blu-ray) It feels like I'm on a bit of a Yas kick at the moment! I bought Venus Wars for the fourth time in the recent(ish) Right Stuf...

Appleseed (1988 OVA - Blu-ray) I've been a big fan of Appleseed ever since I first saw it in th 90's (and another anime I've now bought on 3 formats) and it still holds up well for me. I love the sinister edge it has as it tells it's story about humanity evolving to utopian societies and the...

Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island (Cinema) It was awesome to see this on a cinema screen and it stood up really well on a second watch. Compiler - Episodes 1 & 2 [Final] Compiler Festa Apart from a few scenes in episode 2 of the first OVA these are quite possibly some of the dullest...

Super Beast Machine God Dancouga - Episodes 6 - 8 (Blu-ray) Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 97 - 99 (Blu-ray)

Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury - Prologue This Prologue episode laid out a fairly standard setup for a Gundam series so nothing terribly original so far but I enjoyed it and the epsiode sowed enough seeds of intrigue that I want to see more,

Super Beast Machine God Dancouga - Episodes 2 - 5 (Blu-ray) Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 93 - 96 (Blu-ray) I felt ready to get back into Ranma and have enjoyed getting into it again, each episode still made me laugh! To-Y Re-watched this unusual OVA for the podcast.

Cowboy Bebop - Various Episodes I rewatched a handful of my favourite episodes last week ahead of teh podcast recording with Collateral Cinema. Arion (Blu-ray) I absolutely love this film and Discotek's blu-ray looks fantastic. Super Beast Machine God Dancouga - Episode 1(Blu-ray) My third...
