    Free UK Available Streaming Anime & Anime on TV

    TAN is not good value for us brits. Last time I did a count we got access to something like 36% of the shows. Compared with CR which is now up to 75%. 130 UK viewable series in CR, 45 on TAN. I need to automate searching the Funi titles....

    DVD Region Problems

    VLC seems to do this on some discs, it just throws a spaz and won't play. Multi region on PC DVD drives can be a little iffy. Try a prog called makemkv.

    It was illegal to be gay in the UK up until 1967 and in some states of the USA it was illegal as late as 2003.

    Thinking about going multi-region

    The silkscreen can be done afterwards. Its the same silkscreen machines for DVDs, CDs and blurays. They could even just silkscreen the BBFC logo and reg number over the existing artwork. So maybe I need to repeat: Many many live action DVDs have a language selection at the start and...

    Thinking about going multi-region

    Re-read what Manga said. So even without the BBFC they would not have been allowed to do it. Plenty of other companies use the same master for multiple countries and can cope with printing the BBFC logo on just the UK discs.

    Thinking about going multi-region

    Actually multinationals LOVE free trade, its how they squash all the small companies. As for region locking, Funi released FMA:B unlocked and then MangaUK reports poor sales of their FMA:B release. The US and Japan are now in the same region code so we get hugely delayed BD releases as...

    Sony purchase Sky EPG slot

    I forgot its still 2008 ;) Germans seem to be a lot less pissy about their anime. They also get DVD releases sooner than us and they pay more for them. Hmm...

    Sony purchase Sky EPG slot

    Animax has an OFCOM license because its broadcast FROM the UK TO places like Germany, Hungary etc.. It doesn't mean we're getting Animax here. Sony have had the OFCOM license since 2006 or so. The 'updated' date on the OFCOM site is meaningless as it updates every working day.

    Kara no Kyoukai BD Box Set to be distributed in the USA

    I'm tempted to get it from UP1. I've avoided registering with Rightstuf because I know I will just spend oodles of money with them.

    Sony purchase Sky EPG slot

    AnimeCentral WAS a block. It was a 3 hour late night block on Popgirl but OFCOM rules dictated that it could not be in the 'kiddies' section. So they just moved it for the duration of the block to channel 188.

    Manga Ent cancels further Blu-ray Fullmetal Alchemist B

    An awful lot of consumer electronics will run from 100 to 250V as its cheaper and simpler for them to design one power supply for everything. Worth checking the specs before shelling out on something you might not need.

    Sony purchase Sky EPG slot

    Diddly as no other AXN channel shows anime. AXN used to show anime but its all gone and moved to Animax.
