I only ordered these from the MVM sale on Tuesday evening, so this was quick for the time of year. They're having trouble with their admin system that's preventing some emails from going out, so I didn't know this had been shipped. I'm surprised that the Unlimited Blade Works part sets are on...

Good grief, that took a while. I spent half the evening deciding which items to buy and how to split up the orders to maximise the discounts. I ended up placing three orders on All the Anime (15% discount order, BOGOF, and pre-orders) and two orders on Anime-on-line (early bird redux items and...

Surely Lycoris Recoil should come with liquorice?

Has anyone had this code emailed to them? I subscribed to Anime Unlimited a couple of months ago, but the only code I've been emailed is the 10% newsletter one.

Eupho is in my top ten TV anime, but I have to admit it's a tough one to pitch to people. It's one of those shows that proves a good story is 10% concept, 90% execution, and as such the things that make it great don't come across in a couple of sentences of marketing copy. Shows like Eupho fall...

Such a great movie, and perhaps the most underrated of Carpenter's apocalyptic stories. I've always though it could have done with spending longer in the Lovecraftian town though.

Ah, Nightshade. It pre-dates the modern wave of super-difficult games, but is definitely in that vein. Brace yourself for the urge to throw the controller when you get to the level that doesn't have a floor.

Wow, those are even worse than Manga Video's 90s dub for The Guyver.

MediaOCD is having a 50% off sale on some items this weekend. Coupon code is KUROFRIDAY25. They're US-based, but I think they ship to the UK. https://www.mediaocd.com/category/black-friday

Good to know, thanks. I wondered why it looked a bit different from Australian releases I've had previously.

Fest Godzilla; very much a release for the Godzilla completionist. Toho have been making action-packed 10 minute Godzilla videos each year since 2020. The latest one is presented on YouTube on Godzilla Day each year (03/11), and is then scrubbed from the internet two weeks later, because Toho...

Wait, so his true identity is... Chesney Hawkes?

I'd totally forgotten about those. They look like premium rate prefixes too, so they would have cost a fortune. Maybe the main VA from The Gigolo was running a phone sex line. That Broly trailer is pretty slick. I do wonder if it's just a coincidence that anime trailers became less common...

The VA for Silent Hill f's protagonist live-streams herself playing the game...but she has no idea how the controller works. Her reactions are priceless. 🤣 This clip is all from the first few minutes of the game, so no spoilers.

I hadn't seen any of those ADV compilation edits in a long time, and was surprised at how frantic it was when I looked up the one I linked above. Maybe my brain processed things at a different speed when I was a teenager (probably all the sugary breakfast cereals). Their trailers for individual...

"It's time for the one-man army." I had no idea this existed. Fortunately there seem to be a few places to pre-order the non-Kickstarter version.

In the 90s, Manga Video took a medium that was barely recognised in the west and marketed it as a genre of adult-oriented SF and fantasy. The late 90s and early 00s saw a shift from primarily OAVs to TV shows being released. While there was growing familiarity with the scope of the medium and...

I don't think this is the case. The thing to bear in mind about modern isekai is that it's a misnomer. These aren't other worlds; they're game worlds. Specifically they're game worlds that appeal to Japanese gamers: dating sims and D&D-inspired MMOs. The Japanese fascination with D&D can be...
