That's a game I very much enjoy playing on this forum: looking at the shelves and identifying the different Anime and Manga releases from a distance. My wife is impressed by my aptitude for it. Whenever we watch a movie or TV show where someone's shelves are visible in the background and you can...

Hey everyone. So I'm sure many of you who enjoy reading about Anime and Manga in books and print magazines will know UK author Helen McCarthy. She's a pioneer in writing about Anime in the UK and spearheaded promoting it in the UK in the early 90's along with Jonathan Clements. Well I recently...

Hey everyone. As the post title says I started Youtube! Why did i decide to do it? well I've always wanted to make videos about things I'm passionate about (AKA everything we talk about here)......but there's another reason, it's that I feel that I can do better than much of the low effort...

This sounds like it'd be for me. It's another one of many shows that's on the very, very long list that I haven't gotten round to yet. From what I've seen the character designs and atmosphere just looked cool. I do like a dark and intense show. I also hate it when an OP spoils a show, my pet...

Oh thank god. Didn't want to be the one to tell you it was a set you couldn't complete. As to why it's going for so much more...god knows. To be honest out of print manga is such a wild west these days with online sellers I think you've just got to put it down to "scalpers gonna scalp" and go...

The reason those volumes of City Hunter are expensive is likely cause they were the versions that got cancelled hence they're kinda rare (Raijin stopped releasing Manga in the mid 2000s) the current recently released City Hunter omnibuses from Kana are the ones to collect if you want to get the...

@JeiKaos The quality of that Figurama Naruto statue looks amazing! Every time I've been after one of their statues they've sold out really quickly: the Lupin 3rd one, the Trigun one and the Fist Of The North star one as well 😢 Good to know the quality reflects their pricing! I really need to...

Hello again Peeps. Last time i posted in this thread was.... (whoa) 2019? where does the time go? I mentioned at the time when I was talking about that article i wrote for the Retro Mecha Podcast blog that I had built plenty of models but not actually painted any. Well....2026 is going to be the...

If it's someone's all time favourite I guess that means I have to check it out. I was wrong about the videogames part, it's done several videogame collabs but no actual standalone game I don't think.

All I really know about it is that it's about assassin girls and it has really nice character designs. I believe it's a multimedia franchise with videogames as well. Like Girls with guns I do too enjoy series with both Gs so I'll check it out.

I missed Perfect Blue at the cinema unfortunately due to being busy with my new college course, I AM however definitely going to see Chainsaw Man: Reeze Arc though.

Cool that Gungrave is getting a nice collector's edition. That's probably all I'd pick up out of those announcements. Though I haven't seen anything of what kind of show Lycoris Recoil is (Have only really seen the character designs) so that could be a possibility. I hear it's good, might check...

@sniper_samurai I saw this and the steelbook design is lovely but considering the last 4k had some pretty big issues including missing subtitles and still having the end theme replaced I might wait until a review hits. I just feel like every blu ray release I've spent money on has had a major...

Picked up Jujutsu Kaisen season 1 sets 1&2 for £34.99 each instead of the usual £59.99 HMV usually has them for. Was in store, not sure what the online prices are like but it's a decent saving so thought it warranted mention here. Also thanks @Dragon Slayer I've been after that Dororo...

Have been a bit busy and hadn't been on here in a while. I did a double take when i saw this. Honestly this is kind of a disgusting move on Bandai's part. I thought better of them as a company. Reminds me of those awful collector's editions of games from about 7 or 8 years ago where they'd...
