For me Mary is a very 'safe' project, not straying too far from the typical Ghibli structure and feel and not pushing to grow beyond how they had been lead before. For some I'm sure this was a disappointment, for other joyous that someone was carrying the torch - a Ghibli 2.0 if you like. For a...

MY TIME HAS COME Been wanting and hoping for Her Blue Sky (if no-one had noticed) since I saw it at SLA2022. Lovely film, think it’s on Netflix? for those unsure of my hyping, and although I’ve recently cut back on spending dramatically this will be one I have to get

Her Bluer Sky (standard) - Amazon FinallyComingOut

Me, wistfully gazing into the horizon of the next Newswire Image unrelated ( 👀 ), thinking about The Concierge

The Ghost in the Shell (2026) - ep1-2 Science SARU continue to prove they are the masters of style, baby. It’s an all new GiTS that manages to balance having its own way (looser, more fun, more inventive and way less concerned with ‘on model’) than previous iterations and yet the characters...

Do we think Reze Arc will at least get a home entertainment release? I guess CR ceding control of AKIRA was a bigger indicator of their backing away from physical media in the UK.

I made a quick video to test my UK disc and it appears to have the issue. Hopefully someone can have a quick check and confirm it too but I used the OP for an episode and switched language track a few times and it’s clear to me the audio is less punchy when ENG is selected (I have a 5.1 setup...

Wish the Patlabor OVA was Region B, very annoying! (Yes I use a console to play my blu rays but I’m a purist!). The old MVM edition is quite expensive these days (£100!)

Another collection update and likely the last one for a while, not because I plan to stop buying but because I think I've pretty much mined everything I'm interested in with a UK release that has already been released. I have a handful of targets but they are becoming pricey. Obviously my plans...
