Man, it feels like I have been waiting forever for that Kickstarter to come out, but the latest updates do indicate that the wait should be over sometime soon(ish) 😂 . Given how good Macross II looked on Blu-ray, I can't wait to see in in 4k. Despite all the extra stuff in the OVA version of...

Bats & Terry Outrun the Wind! Some 80's sports anime that are the review content for the next episode of the podcast. Fist of the North Star (2026) - Episodes 1 - 3 Oh, how I abhorred the trailers for this, but curiosity got the better of me! I really don't like the way it looks, not a patch...

Akira I took the opportunity to watch this at the cinema again, I took a friend who hadn't seen it before but always wanted to see it and he enjoyed it and was very taken with the visuals even if I had to explain chunks of it to him afterwards 😂 Earth Story - Telepath 2500 A decent...

Urusei Yatsura - Episodes 14 - 20 Snowball Earth - Episodes 1 & 2 This looked interesting to me, although 2 episodes in I'm a bit indifferent to it at the moment. City Hunter: Angel Dust An entertaining action romp , it's more City Hunter so what's not to like, I didn't feel it did anything...

Project A-Ko My 4k disc arrived last week (another anime that I have owned on 4 formats) and I watched it over the weekend. It will always be an absolute favourite of mine, it truly is a classic. I thought it looked good on Blu-ray but it really does look incredible in 4k. Urusei Yatsura...

Urusei Yatsura (1981) - Episodes 1 & 2 I've seen the first handful of UY episodes before a loooong time ago on a VHS fansub and was big fan right from the outset. I missed out on the AnimEigo DVDs back in the day so I was super excited when Discotek released the TV series on Blu-ray. I'm going...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 31 - 43 [Final] I really enjoyed watching MSG again, and as stated previously it's better than I remembered being. I think because I love the movie trilogy so much, and for me it is the definitive telling of this story, and as I've seen it several times since I...

All You Need Is Kill I went to see this on Saturday and actually quite enjoyed it (leaning towards 8/10 as a rating), possibly more than others who have commented on it here. I read the light novel when the Tom Cruise movie came out (I really liked that film too) and I thought this was a good...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 12 - 20 It was interesting to watch the infamous Cucuruz Doan's Island episode within the overall flow of the story. I had seen it before and it is full of awful, off-model animation (especially the mobile suits) and watching again now I can see what it was trying...

Mobile Suit Gundam - Episodes 4 - 11 I am really enjoying watching MSG again, it has a great story and such well written characters and I love the constant background feeling of tension that it maintains. I'll admit I had forgotten just how wonky some of the animation is in a few of these...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 21 - 25 [Final] There is a bit of a sudden tonal shift in the last few episodes of Galatt, episode 23 was a very serious episode with no gags and then it was a bit of a mix and episodes 24 & 25 had old school mecha people getting vapourised in battle kicks in...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 16 - 20 Dancouga Nova - Episodes 6 - 12 [Final] Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn - Episodes 1 - 7 [Final] Looking at some Gunpla the other week gave me an urge to rewatch Unicorn. I've seen the OVA before and I last watched Unicorn as the RE:0096 TV adaptation...

I'm selling some DVDs and Blu-rays due to upgrades. GaoGaiGar TV Series DVD Complete Collections 1 & 2. US Media Blasters sets, watched once and in like new condition - £30 Zone of the Enders Complete OVA and TV series Complete Collection. US ADV Films Thinpak collection, watched once and in...

Super Power Robo Galatt - Episodes 5 - 15 Still silly but episodes 12 & 13 were genuinely very very funny :) Dancouga Nova - Episodes 1 - 5 Re-watching this for review on the mecha podcast. Vampire Hunter D Another watch of this classic as Lewis and I reviewed it on the Collateral Cinema...
