Why did I choose the days just before AL's easter sale to be better with money? Would've loved to pick up that Eureka Seven ultimate ed for £35. Fullmetal Alchemist TV sets were quite cheap too. Decided I wouldn't look at the sale for fear of going a bit nuts (financial discipline has not been...

It's nuts to think how far we've come in terms of home video releases for cult/arthouse/foreign movies and anime. Crazy that we have so many choices both domestically and import wise. Man I remember the days when almost no UK DVDs were worth buying over their US counterparts and if you liked...

Thanks @Yami and @HWR. It's insane the stuff you can do with this thing. I must say I'm very impressed. Watched Guardians of the galaxy Vol 2 in Dolby vision with Dolby Atmos on Disney plus last night and the colours were amazing. I saw it at the cinema and I'm not even sure it looked that...

Excellent. Had looked at a few vids but have seen a lot of contradictory info online, oh well. That's the internet for you I guess, at the end of the day it's all opinion. Thanks HWR: I will check that out now as I'm setting everything up.

I just had a new TV delivered yesterday so I'm pleased to say I'm joining you all in the heady realm of 4K. I have my cables and a spanking new 4K player with multi region mod. The question is though: as a HDR newb what settings do you more experienced people recommend for films and gaming? I...

Today's arrivals. Ebay finds since both of these editions are out of print. Lupin was sealed and drifters was watched once and only opened at one end. Quite happy with these especially for the price.

@orgun and I are doing Mecha March content on both Retro Mecha Podcast and my blog Animehead's Retroworld. Also @orgun is doing a mecha episode on Retro Anime Podcast, we're releasing it all under the banner of "Retro Mecha Anime World" RMP episode was released last week, my blog post is...

I'm cheating as this came on Saturday :) but what the hell. Here's a recent manga/book haul and one blu ray.

I love coming on here and seeing the wealth of purchases from you all. It makes me think actually I'm not that bad with my spending on anime/manga stuff :) Also side note: I really wish Funimation and other blu ray companies would get rid of that blue banner that says Blu ray/DVD and digital at...

Has anyone picked up this book? Berserk: Written in Darkness by Quentin Boeton. It's a recent release, just came out in December in English (the author is French so it's been out there for a while in its native language). I got it on Saturday. It's an exploration of the themes and mythology of...

Got a nice set of deliveries yesterday. One from Amazon (Dragon Ball Super) and all the others from Rightstuf.

Oooh Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku is definitely my favourite ongoing game series. I've been into it since the PS2 days when I randomly found the original in a bargain bin in PC world (of all places!) and decided to give it a try. The rest is history. I've bought every single game...

Yeah i can't see Discotek doing a remaster of a long series like Harlock but hopefully a Japanese release will emerge and they can use that. Original Yamato and The Cockpit are fantastic. Would be great to see those in HD.

HWR: I got the Batman Beyond set a while back. Hope you enjoy it. I think it's a solid series and a really good accompanying piece/bookend to Batman The Animated series to boot. It felt like quite an ambitious show much like Batman TAS was in the 90's. I know what you mean about the Funko pop, I...

The Doraemon episode was absolutely brilliant! Those Toyota commercials with Jean Reno are an amazing find Prof. Hadn't heard about these before.
