Code Geass Episodes 17 - 25 - Still an excellent finale and I'm glad I rewatched it. Code Geass has more problems then I remembered and the changing world around us probably leaves some of its commentary feeling outmoded. At the same time it feels like a strength as much as a weakness that...

Brought Choujin X Volume 12, Baki Volume 2 and #DRCL Volume 6. DRCL has been my favourite ongoing series so every new volume is a big deal for me. I’ve committed very heavily to comics lately. I’d like to spend some time completely reorganising my shelf but the weekend has been chaotic. Got a...

Thinking about going to Scotland Loves Anime solely on the hope they play those Lupin movies again.

Thief is my favourite Mann movie so far. Caan's confession about life in prison . Because quite a few of his characters are driven by an all-consuming terror of going back to jail. And I think more than most crime stories Mann's films present that as an innately human and understandable...

I really loved Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, so I am willing to give Kenji Kamiyama on Gundam a chance. I don't know if I can get invested in a Gundam show with this being its only pitch. As Hellcat says, this is like those Godzilla movies. You can understand why a Gundam video game...

Virgin Punk: Clockwork Girl - I enjoyed this a lot. It’s only 33 minutes and clearly setting up for more episodes down the line so there is nothing approaching a resolution to anything put to scene. But it uses the run time to have at least 3 really outstanding action scenes that are well-paced...

Welcome, glad to have another Berserk fan around.

Went to Waterstones and got these.

Thanks everyone. I’ll order a new blu-ray player in the next month or so.

@Invisible Crane I like the keychain (no idea of who the character is) Was the convention a good time?

Got the first two Kazuma Kaneko artbooks, these cover his earliest work with the Shin Megami Tensei franchise back in the 90s. He was the chief character designer of the series for many years but he was not the first person to have the position. So you see a few creatures he redesigned and then...

It's complicated. Because we know Vinyl has made a huge comeback in the age of streaming. And some movies are making billions in cinemas, even though it's been predicted for years that streaming and Covid would kill theatres and physical media. There is a demand for it. And all of these...

Vermail in Gold Episodes 1-5: This starts out as an inverted version of The Familiar of Zero. In that series a proud but failing noblewoman gambles her academic future on summoning a familiar only to end up accidentally summoning a boy from another dimension who is equally useless and their...

Is this one any good...

Managed to get a decently priced though worn and marked second hand copy of Coffin: The Art of Vampire Hunter D. A collection of Yoshitaka Amano. Collecting a lot of his illustrations and covers for the first dozen or so VHD novels. It’s in decent enough shape and I’m glad to have it despite...
