Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Sotsu: Episodes 1-6 "I do in fact have time to teach you how to operate a Colt" Edition Good a night as any to make a start. As I suspected from the final episodes of Gō, Sotsu is going to be quite difficult to discuss without spoilers so I'll continue to make use of...

It really surprises me that they’re even allowed to do that, nothing against CeX particularly (I’ve made money and got bargains from them) but I would have thought cover artwork and logos (company and BBFC, PEGI etc.) were all copyrighted and reproducing them for a product you are then selling...

Oh look, it's been so long I forgot this was even happening: It is a nice set, but what makes it a little bitter-sweet (along with the long wait) is that the exact same product has been immediately made available from their store for €35 meaning I paid €40 out of my €75 pledge for a hat...

Now I understand why Limmy's attempt to simulcast his Twitch stream on YouTube only lasted a day.

As it should be, I don't particularly like to speak ill of acquaintances but I know people who put in unpaid overtime (otherwise known as slavery) at their minimum wage job because "otherwise the job wouldn't get done" and I really can't understand them. It annoys me a bit actually to think that...

You're not wrong about that @Dave1988, not enough people realise this. It's almost impossible to find visual information on this for the UK (go figure, our media is just as complicit in not letting the people in on this) but this, from the US, is one of the best illustrations I've found for how...

Well that’s my budget for about the next month blown all at once. Good investment? Bad investment? Will I ever be able to find the other volumes? Will I even want to? Who can say? I grabbed the nicely priced £6 ones from the “K” section first and then started to notice them all over the place...

Nothing wrong with the c-word, it’s a good, harsh Northern European word. I much prefer it to the clinical sounding Latin v-word or particularly the soft, childish p-word. The fact it’s considered any worse than the c-word for the male genitalia strikes me as just another form of sexism, frankly.

I notice Jerome used “freaking” a couple of times there, I think we all know what he meant since I have never ever heard a Briton use that term irl. Also you wrote the word, Ian. Is it done, are we free to arse about again?

Heh, the forum thread gives the impression Americans are not familiar with Jerome, this might be fun. Time to dust off the “days since Jerome p*ssed someone off” counter. Don’t let me down, man. Also if Jerome can write “a*se” in an ANN article I think I should be permitted to write it here...

I think in general, the answer to why a huge multinational corporation doesn’t do something is “because it wouldn’t be profitable (enough)”. I don’t have access to the figures of course, but my strong suspicion is that the majority of anime watchers now use streaming and a TV block simply...

Well those ones I didn’t buy because there was no way in Hell I could afford them also I was kinda just making a joke and didn’t actually expect a serious answer.

Hey, there must at least be enough of us for them to keep releasing it. Wait, what was the last Gundam AL released? Is the fact I didn’t buy Sneed and Build Fighters the reason they stopped, because they only sold eleven copies of those instead of the usual twelve?

You were born in the 21st Century and you still watch television? That thing you have to watch at a set time with ads you can’t skip or block? I think you might be in the minority there, I’m from the previous century and not even I do that any more. Not to dampen your enthusiasm but I can’t...

Dare I ask what the others were? Other Gundam titles, or just other titles in general?

Uh, not to be a killjoy or anything but why is there a duplicate of an on-topic thread about anime in the "off topic" forum? Edit: Since all is now right with the world I might as well add a couple I've recently been enjoying, I've liked nearly all the songs from Higurashi and the music/video...

Mitsudomoe Zōryōchū!: Episodes 1-8 (Complete) Well. Brave move to have the main characters barely appear in the first episode and instead making it an episode of the in-universe sentai show Gachi Rangers, not a gamble I'm sure paid off. I wouldn't be surprised if what killed off the show was...

Mitsudomoe: Episodes 9-14 (Complete) What a fun show. Episode 9 might have been the high point, the unvoiced musical sections go to show how capable Mitsudomoe's visual humour is even without any dialogue. The segment with the barrel in particular was a wonderful (if exaggerated for comic...

Yeah, I think it's probably pretty unlikely for clothes or pens to burst into green flame unless you live in a gag anime.

Come with me once more on a journey to a place where youngsters commit terrible acts of violence and depravity. That's right, its... Mitsudomoe: Episodes 1-8 I'm in no great hurry to finish Higurashi (particularly now there's so little left) so I thought I'd take a little diversion into...
