Sad to hear Ohno has passed away. He’s done a lot of fantastic work over the decades

Aldnoah.Zero Episodes 4-9: I've dropped this one because it was annoying me a lot. Episode 9 edges towards some interesting ideas but the series' unemotional tone really strangles this one. It's just not interested in characters having conflict or misunderstanding or even just genuine dislike of...

Not my entire collection (which is in total disarray right now) but my anime DVD shelf. I’ve put a lot of the series like Bubblegum Crisis into multi-disc cases to save on space. Space well worth saving because I get to put a cat there.

I’m going to have to give Bastard!! a chance. Hopefully we do get the second season. It’s good the Gundam movie is getting a nice edition. We do need to figure out the branding for these live action movies. You can’t have Labyrinth labelled an all the anime because we can see Bowie on the...

Welcome aboard, glad to have you here.

Happy birthday @Anime1977 . I hope you've had a good day. @RadFemHedonist If it makes you feel any better members of my family have also needed wisdom teeth surgery recently and it’s been a huge success. So have faith that it'll all be okay soon.

I ordered some more soundtracks because its still cheaper to buy physical CDs than purchased a lot of digital music - Lupin The 3rd Official Soundtrack 3, Jigen's Gravestone and Armored Core: For Answer.

An interesting double bill today. Kyoko Okazaki’s Helter Skelter and the 2012 live action adaptation directed by Mika Ninagawa released by 88Films. I only knew about the movie because other users here posted about it so thank you all.

Lupin III: The Immortal Bloodline - The first half of this was incredible. While they do their best to recap the previous films (that we have yet to get in the UK) this is the conclusion for what this side series of Lupin theatrical projects and is probably experienced in release order; Jigen's...

Babylon Episodes 1-3 Chained Solider Episodes 2-6 Diebuster (2003) and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence (2004) - Both early-00s sequels, that also function better when not expected to be sequels, to beloved science-fiction properties with a surprising amount of focus on animating a dog...

Very jealous of the Gundam Sets. They look really nice. I got my Zen Market items today. Including a CD complication of songs from the Like A Dragon / Yakuza series, alongside merch from the limited time Gundam Hathaway promotional cafe. I have some more imports coming later this month but I’m...

could I buy Gunsmith Cats?

Took a break from Yakuza 2 in the hopes of playing some smaller games and clear out some games in my backlog. It's helped me give some things second chances. Valkyrie Elysium (2022) - Valkyrie Elysium is an odd one. Clearly a lower-budget action game by the develops of Samurai Jack - Battle...

Collateral (2004) - This was really good. Jamie Fox plays a taxi driver, Max, in LA who is dreaming of a better life but isn't ready to make the leap forward. Until one night he decides to give a ride to Vincent, an ice-chewing sociopath played expertly by Tom Cruise. Things very quickly go...

This looks really interesting. Unfortunately I wouldn’t be able to make it this time. I’d have liked to have met a lot of these guests. Maybe next time.
