I suspect the impact on the type of anime being made is less than you would think, and that comes down to the medium's status as being almost entirely adaptations of light novels and manga. Light novels, in particular, won't be translated unless they become hits in Japan, and by that point the...

Children who were born when GTA5 was released will be teenagers by the time GTA6 releases. Also, this morning will probably be the first time Activision Blizzard have ever considered moving CoD out of its usual November release slot. 🤣

Thanks for continuing to do all this. Your positive karma must be over 9000.

No, the standard edition product page was showing the same delays, including the one to January. As for whether they're having additional issues with the CE, I couldn't say.

Well this is interesting. My Call of the Night standard edition seems to have shipped, which places it somewhere between the second and third of the four release dates it's had. I did have another item in the order, but the email indicates that both items are in the shipment. I'm starting to...

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

That's interesting. Thanks for the information.

They have definitely been getting worse on this front. Until a few years ago they used to at least send emails about delays sometimes. Communicating delays to paying customers really shouldn't be something they feel they can push to the bottom of the priority list. It also shouldn't be...

Someone correct me if they have more information, but I believe the only reason small companies like AL offer pre-order discounts is so they can gauge the level of demand. That then informs how many copies they order from the duplication company in the first pressing. If they stopped accepting...

I've definitely bought DVDs that looked like this when they were new and played fine; can't say if those were Funimation or not since it would have been 10-20 years ago. That's not to say it can't be a symptom of a problem, but it might just be a visual flaw in the manufacturing process rather...

It's encouraging to see that Discotek's licence for City Hunter doesn't appear to be about to expire, especially with season 2 set 2 having been OOP for some time. That said, I'm in two minds about how much City Hunter I need on my shelf. I love season 1 (rewatching it at the moment, in fact...

Superman (2025) Oh dear. This movie is exactly what I didn't want. When James Gunn was handed the keys to the entire DC universe, I hoped he might rein in some of his quirks, but this is as dumb as I feared. He seems to think it's important to answer questions like, "What if there was a Superman...

XCOM 2 This is a great sequel...once you install some mods. The previous game (Enemy Unknown) was a masterpiece, only let down by a lack of maps. The expansion pack (Enemy Within) fixed that and added some great new features, resulting in one of my favourite games of all time. XCOM 2 should...

A House of Dynamite If you want something to scare the hell out of you this halloween season, forget horror movies and watch this instead. It's a tense political drama that plays out almost in real time as a nuclear missile of unknown origin heads towards the US, and then we see the same...

The Macross Plus UE is back at its early bird price of £120. I think that's the first time it's dropped below RRP since the spring sale, so I finally pulled the trigger on the thing. I can regret it at my leisure. I signed up for Anime Unlimited too, which either brought it down to £108 or...

RE2 was one of my top five favourite games for decades until its remake somehow improved on it. The OG version still has plenty of appeal and replayability though, especially since its four scenarios switch up story elements more heavily than in the remake. Code Veronica was originally planned...

I wonder if we will hear anything about Angel's Egg. That feels like the kind of announcement they might save for a convention. I'm curious to see a mock-up of their Macross Frontier set too. There's been no mention of what type of edition they're planning, but it's only been three months since...

Call of the Night is on its second delay already, just a few weeks after the set was announced. It's gone from 20th Oct to the 27th, and now to 17th Nov. At least the delays are being posted to the online store ahead of the original release date.

Ahhh, I didn't realise Final 3 was a remake. That explains why PSN lists it as an edition of Final 2. I'd always thought that was a mistake.

Tron: Ares To be a life-long Tron fan is to suffer. This is known. The original was a story too far ahead of its time to find an audience. Legacy was a good sequel that came decades too late, and spent a little too much time setting up a threequel that ended up being cancelled when Disney bought...
