Isn’t that only about five grand? I think I’d be good.

HMV bargains, had money been no object I would have spent a lot more but these seemed like particularly good deals. I’ve seen Planetes before but I gave my DVD copy away when the AL blu-ray CE was due out… And then never actually bought it.

Some decent bargains in store at HMV on a whole bunch of AL titles, both CE and standard editions at half price or less if you can find their seemingly now very well hidden “big sale” section (at least that’s how it is at my local).

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gō: Weekly Streaming Discussion Sub-Forum Killing Chapter, Episodes 18-24 (Complete) Everything is going to have to go under a spoiler tag now, I imagine the same will be true of Sotsu. I can see no way to discuss or even post many images from these episodes without...

At £12 for Magus and £7 for Crimson in the Amazon Prime sale, plus a voucher I had sitting there (and an extra discount for using locker delivery) made it worth resubbing for a month to get these in addition to a couple more mundane items. Wonder if there’s anything worth watching on there while...

Back when I last had a TV connected to an aerial (over 10 years ago now) and actually watched the BBC I didn’t mind paying the license fee at all, particularly since I felt their reporting was genuinely high quality and non-partisan. I thought BBC journalists did a good job of holding the Blair...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gō: Episodes 9-17 Oh ho ho ho~ To quote Keiichi, now this is cooking. Advice updated and fully rescinded, absolutely do not watch Gō unless you have seen the original series and Kai. It's relatively easy for anyone to follow up until Episode 13, but after that anyone...

Nozomi/Rightstuf previously handled Gundam blu-ray distribution in the US though, and they are now another feather in Crunchyroll’s cap (which is really more of a full native American war bonnet at this point). I don’t know if anything can be inferred by the fact the two most recent Gundam...

I wish that I did have such powers (hello, by the way). If you flip back a few pages you’ll see people here have been asking the same question of both 0080 and 08th MS Team for literally years now, everybody is confused as to why the Yanks have them and we don’t (they also have V, which I don’t...

I actually lol’d. It’s a shame I hardly ever watch anything as it’s airing and thus have nothing to add, but I am enjoying reading your takes on these new shows, Rui.

It’s particularly bad because those “Can you confirm that you never?” questions come at the end of a big list of that were just straightforward “Do you?” questions for which the answer was obviously “No”. There’s no reason these questions couldn’t have been phrased the same except to try and...

TV Licensing playing dirty, as usual: “Yes, I can confirm I never watch iPlayer and never record TV” or “I can confirm that no, I never watch iPlayer or record TV”?

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Gō: Episodes 1-8 IT'S WATANAGASHI DAY! I saw that. Despite the show thinking it was being clever and that little detail would just slip by unnoticed, I have spotted the difference that changes everything this time around: Keiichi has fixed the inauspicious tatami...

It appears that the idea of AL's Gundam Collection being a complete collection is already dead. My dream of having a nice matching set of UC shows feels like it's slipping away, unless AL managed to licence some of the other series' before Funicrunchymanga and their SODDING BLUE BAR SLIPCASES...

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kira: Episodes 1-4 (Complete) Yes, yes, yes! That OP was probably the best possible medicine to treat my post-Umineko depression. Higurashi might be shoving its way into 3rd place behind only Slayers and Bubblegum Crisis as the franchise with the most consistently...

I don’t blame you, 80,000 gold does seem like a lot to spend, unless it’s on a particularly unique skill.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Episodes 17-26 (Complete, I guess) WUT. Either I'm too stupid for this show or it's too stupid for me, I'm willing to entertain both possibilities. But I can't claim that was a particularly enjoyable experience. I knew going into Umineko that it seems very...

Ladies and Gentlemen, please be upstanding for the new Prime Minister of Japan. At least we can be fairly sure that outfit wasn’t paid for by dodgy millionaire donors.

Umineko no Naku Koro ni: Episodes 9-16 THANK YOU. Unfortunately Battler's change of heart doesn't last long, I really don't know where this whole plot of "I'm going to prove the murders weren't committed by magic" is going. For a moment there it appeared to just be a red herring, yet Battler...

Umineko no Naku Koro ni or Agatha Christie's And Then There Were Boobs: Episodes 1-8 Eighteen characters introduced in the first episode? Eighteen? How am I meant to remember... Oh, that's made things easier, thanks. From the artwork for this show I thought it would take place in the...
