[Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

Don't know why the steelbook is a Blu Ray/DVD combo though. I thought they'd stopped those.

It's not. The image in that tweet appears to be a mistake.

The banner on the cover overlay thing only has the blu-ray logo, and the product page on the store only talks about blu-rays and says it is four discs.

That said, they've still done a few combo packs not too long ago, at least for the LEs.

Awesome! I'm such a shoujo fanboy... and isekai too! Should be something I will enjoy.

Green Green has got a Blu-ray release?
So my DVDs will be worth nothing.
Love the opening song.

Though I spent ages tracking down the DVD art boxes I'll definitely be double dipping on these, one of my favourites.

Those artboxes are nice. I have the complete NISA set with both seasons and the OVAs, only other way to get the ovas was to get the Kujibiki Unbalance set.

Yeah, I ended up getting the Kujibiki Unbalance art box for the OVA's.

I would like the NISA set for Second Generation, the only season I haven't seen.

Second Season/Generation is still available to stream on Crunchyroll.

Sadly, don't post to UK.
I try not to double dip if I have working DVDs especially if I have to jump through hoops to get it.

Thanks for thinking of the link.

If you're not bothered by the slipcase and physical items, the series may get added to the MediaOCD Store later.

Same applies to WOWHD, deep discount and others. Except they already have it in stock.

Is Green Green actually any good? Seems like it is not well-liked by a lot of members over in the other anime forum, but everyone here seems to be praising it, lol. Is it one of those So Bad it's Good anime, perhaps?

I watched it early in my second anime career, so probably 10 years ago.
I restarted with Queen's Blade, Aika, Najica Blitz Tactics. You get the picture.
Now I only watch classy stuff.

I probably shouldn't recommend it but it does have a story, panties and a busty teacher. Worth a punt at £25.
I remember some of it being a bit soppy.

Shame they couldn't get the 13th episode.

Watch the opening song, that'll give you an Idea.

Yeah, sure, only classy stuff... uh huh.

Well, I just watched the first two episodes with my eyepatch and parrot, and I see it's definitely an ecchi title. It's only in English Dub on there so I just finished getting fansubs for it, so I can watch it in Japanese/sub. I just can't do English dubs at all. Looks like it's one of those bare boobies without nibbles type of ecchi, though, so that's a little disappointing. Ah well, I've been collecting some of the more Gentlemanly-cultured ecchi titles recently, so maybe I'll pick this one up just for fun...

I do like supporting the Media Blasters site, I've bought about 80 of my H-title Blu-rays there, and a few regular anime series. One disappointment with Media Blasters Bundles is that their largest t-shirt size they offer is 3X, and I wear a 4X, so I can't really wear the shirt out in public - it'll be the same situation as the Kanokon Bundle I got from them previously. I really need to work on a diet, lol!
