AmiAmi sent me my Velvet Crowe figure. This was released a long time ago alongside the game Tales of Berseria and become quite expensive on the secondary market. Luckily they re-released the figure and I could pre-order one. It’s too hot to reorganise figures and shelves right now so I’ll find a...

The final season of Bleach, the 4th part of Thousand-Year Blood War titled The Calamity, is getting some UK screenings. https://bleachtickets.co.uk/ This will be very successful and enjoyed by many. This is a very strange point because this is where the manga started to be severely rushed due...

Detective Conan Fallen Angel of the Highway - had a lot of fun with this one as somebody who hasn’t touched the series in a decade. They just decided these movies should have nothing to do with the main cast and focus on side characters. Which means this is still very approachable. Maybe it goes...

As Tominio told Fukuda back in the 2000s: “don’t trust Bandai!” He meant that form a production but on the consumer level it's still very applicable. Their own worse enemy when it comes to handling their own successful and highly demanded products. It looks okay. There's a lot of arguments...

Regardless of everything else, AI Psychosis is a noted phenomenon that is resulting in people developing severe mental illnesses due to chatbots becoming both massively marketed and incredibly sycophantic but nobody seems concerned with that. You would assume it would be an issue. Google's...

Been reading some My Girlfriend's Not Here Today by Kiyoko Iwami, or as I call it Let's Go, Fuuko! In a romance drama about indecision and everyone fumbling with their confused and conflicted feelings: it's easy to support the person knows what she wants and actively tries to change her...

I wasn’t expecting to run into a Gundam in Düsseldorf tonight.

Got my order from MediaOCD last week. Next month I’ll need to order a region-free blu ray player if I am going to get my Yoshiaki Kawajiri fix.

Feeling burnt out on games at the moment has me planning on getting rid of a lot of them. I was playing Pragmatia and as much as I was enjoying it but paused it and haven't picked it up in a few weeks. Something I got in a PSN sale following a recommendation by Raycevick was Need for Speed Heat...

Art books for Disgaea RPG, Labyrinth of Refrain and Witch and the Hundred Knight. Even when their games let me down Nippon Ichi Software with their strong designs and sprite work thanks to artists like Takehito Harada. Disgaea RPG was the Japanese mobile game that ended service some years ago...

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.
