Loved watching DBZ back in the day. No idea if I ever watched it in any sort of order though 😹😹

Most of my TCG stuff is more like mini artbooks rather than actually knowing how to play the games.

Things like the Traptrix starter deck (Yugioh) for example have a great selection of cute artwork (and buying both EN and JP Decks can show just how Yugioh gets its art edited)

Longer skirt and less cleavage, standard stuff.

Don't worry nobody knows how to play Yu-Gi-Oh anymore 😂

I used to play Pokemon TCG but never competitive, cause I never liked the way competitive meta looks. Now I only collect Japanese full arts.
 
I remember buying Rail Wars just because it of the railway setting. Choo choo.
Yeah, same here. I've always been a big railfan ever since I started my first job out of College. I worked in a service department that had a 4 other techs who were railfans, so we formed an official club and would plan six weekend trips each year traveling to scenic locations with lots of trains to photograph and video tape. We had anywhere from 4-15 people attend these railfan trips; we used ham radios to keep in contact as we spread out along the tracks for different photo angles; and we did this for 15 years before we finally disbanded the club. I have about 7,000 Kodachrome slides and probably 100+ hours of 8mm video taken on these trips, all slowly rotting away in storage now.

Arrow showing some of Odysseus' famed cunning; releasing 4K Troy just after Nolan's depressing/PTSD approach. Was always saddened we never got a sequel with Sean Bean reprising his role~
Troy is best summed up by Hector's line from the back cover: "For love. For glory. For Troy!" It unashamedly romanticises, with in-his-prime Brad Pitt oddly fitting as an arrogant Greek warrior demigod. No toxic masculinity bollox: 'tis simply an operatic sword 'n 🩴 war saga, with a fittingly epic score by James Horner. Truly, they don't make 'em like this anymore. An added plus is a young Diane Kruger being utterly convincing as Helen of Troy, aka a woman worth sailing 2000 ships over. When released, Troy was a film overshadowed by its contemporaries, such as Gladiator: a 7-8/10. Hollywood has fallen so far it may as well be a 9-10/10, now.
That's 1/2 of my 4K movie bucket list sorted, anywho: gimmie The Last Samurai, pls. Thx.

The Dazai books I had hastily ordered, after starting my re-read of NLH. Alas, they are finally here via BooksPlease... and I'm only halfway. One day I'll read them, for sure. PS: The Flowers of Buffoonery is an expansion on NLH: covering Yozo Oba recovering in hospital. I knew this not before ordering everything Dazai.

Bastardo I wasn't gonna order - rly, I was not - butt I'd ordered DANdadan from my default Anime Limited eBay seller, and figured at least it not an isekai/old school. That said, I never finished S1 on Netflix. Cool opening tho.

...It's too sodding hot keep typing. I should stick to pictures.

You learn something new about yourself everyday. Today, I learned I’m sometimes ok with mismatched manga.IMG_1585.webp
This is the Singapore Chuang Yi release and below is the Chuang Yi release distributed in Australia by Madman. I wonder why they altered the logo. Both look good, I think I prefer them over the Viz logo.
