Has anyone signed up for HBO Max (UK) to peruse the offerings and see what/if anime offerings they have? Their site doesn't seem to let people see the catalogue without paying them

From alltheanime, Macross Plus Movie Edition (special thanks @Hanners 🫡😅)

Scarlet (cinema) - 7 I liked this more than the other recent Hosada films. An interesting pitch to volley the titular character between a battle princess out for revenge and a doe-eyed explorer depending on the situation she stumbles into. Solid performances with a script and story that will...

Hanners will be glad I stop bugging him about this one :D Now onto The Concierge... 👿

GKIDS have announced the film adaptation distribution of LOOK BACK including to the UK...I wonder "who" will be responsible for the local distribution here :P

Actually I have it on my CR watchlist, probably going to watch something else as a break but will try and watch it before the new iteration starts (July?). The all CGI look for 2045 is not appealing and I watched SAC dubbed which means I would have to get Netflix again to keep that up. It...

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - 10/10 So often in anime do I find follow up seasons lacklustre, GiTS: SaC 2nd Gig is not in this camp. I think the episodes that break out from the Individual 11 season arc are stronger and better character studies than S1. Episode 10 One Angry...

I think we'll get a Hosada movie (probably The Girl Who Leapt Through Time), Galaxy Express 999, Angels Egg CE (no Standard initially), the next Naruto/Bleach (I have no idea how many of these are to go), Her Blue Sky and finally Macros Plus Movie Edition

I don't understand why so many anime fans have been down on AYNIK. I mainly think this is Shonen fans who have an expectation that 'action' should look a certain way being re-enforced by a pre-existing (and generally liked) Hollywood adaptation that is very 'action film' coded (macho macho men!)...

Last night I watched Mobile Police Patlabor: WXIII (Blu-Ray) and really enjoyed it (scored a 7) but is it even a Patlabor movie? Would love the stats on how long a Labor is actually on screen for, 7 minutes maybe?

Maybe sounds dumb but could the HDMI cable be to blame? If its faulty / not the best quality you might be getting some weird handshaking issue. If you are going through an AV receiver?

I use an Xbox Series X as my player (with a remote control and not the game controller, im not a mad man), which I know should handle regions fine but by keeping my collection Region B I'm less tempted to splurge! I've similarly pined over Den-Noh Coil (which is B compatible) and the Discotek...

The Discotek releases never have Region B support right? Would love that Palabor release over here....

My inclination was to go in timeline but wanted to be sure I wasn’t going to get some weird spoilers for 2! Thanks 🙏

I don’t have either of those! And as I understood it the movies are one continuation of the story following the 7 episode OVA and those you mentioned are a second path? (I’ve got some other things liked up, SAC 2nd GiG and Solid State Society in my Pile of Shame before I want to commit to 60+...
