    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Three blaster boxes of Panini 2022 WWE Chronicles trading cards. I've been looking at trading cards for a few different subjects, with my reaction typically being, "They cost how much?!", even for boxes selling at RRP. Ordering a few boxes at once let me combine international shipping, so they...

    General TV/Movie News & Announcements

    I stumbled across the Amazon listing for an upcoming Eureka box set called Strange New Worlds: Science Fiction at DEFA. I'd never heard of this old East German studio, but this collection of their SF movies from the 60s and 70s looks interesting in Eureka's trailer. The included movies are The...

    I've bought Godzilla vs Megalon three times, so I can't judge.

    I'm hoping for a sane price on Macross Plus, but I doubt that will happen before December at the earliest.

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    These are crazy-cheap on Amazon right now. £44 for all six seasons of Supergirl, £50 for all nine seasons of The Flash. Just be aware that they use those high-capacity Scanavo cases that pack the discs in like sardines.

    General Comics and Graphic Novels Discussion

    Time for a bit of thread necromancy. Justice League vs Godzilla vs Kong The quality of Godzilla comics has been all over the place, but this is definitely one of the best I've read. It ties into (one of many versions of) an important moment in Superman's life, which gives it some emotional...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    You have got to be ****ing kidding me. Is there no isekai bad enough to not get a second season?!

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I don't know if this is still the case, but at one time it wasn't unusual for licensors to force bundles of shows on licensees. In order to licence Popular Show A, they would also have to pay for Flopped Shows Y and Z. It was a way for licensors to claw back some money on failed shows that made...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I have to agree. I made two attempts at watching Vlad Love, but only got through five episodes. If it hadn't had Oshii's name attached I would have dropped it after one.

    Rate the Last Film You Watched

    I saw that in the 80s, but was young at the time and only have vague memories of it. The main things I recall are the twist about the old man and that it was pretty dark even by 80s child entertainment standards.

    "But we're both girls!" - The Yuri Thread

    That's interesting. I had no idea that Seven Seas releases audiobooks.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Long Gone Days I probably would have enjoyed this more if it had been released 15+ years ago. Playing it now, this indie RPG's story set in the flashpoint of an impending war between Russia and Europe just feels too close to reality to do anything but push up my anxiety level. Granted, the...

    General Cartoons Thread

    https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/coyote-vs-acme-could-be-released-new-deal/ Now this is interesting. My understanding was that all footage had to be destroyed for a movie to be used for a tax write-off. I recall the director of Batgirl saying that, by the time they heard about the...

    [Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

    It's surprising to see a physical release of Yamishibai after all this time. I guess there's hope for even the quirkiest shows.

    I would expect them to pretty much be a Shonen Jump factory until they finish releasing Naruto and Bleach. They've really tied their hands by committing to two extremely long series at the same time.

    Time to answer another of those classic schoolyard questions: who would win in a fight between Godzilla and Superman?

    The subtitled Engrish! 🤣 Now I'm waiting for a yakuza movie that's just a guy doing laundry for two hours.

    Season 1 was cheap when I bought it a couple of years ago. It must have gone out of print.
