While I agree that the apparent lack of progress on futher Gundam releases is a bit deflating, Gundam fans have done well from Anime Limited over the last decade. AL have over 50 Gundam releases, which I think amounts to over 500 episodes plus various OAVs and movies, many of which are shows...

By Shonen Jump standards, 100 episodes barely counts as a prologue.

What does it say about the quality of the movie that someone would sell it to CEX for pennies despite having possibly the only UK copy in circulation...?

Have you tried emailing Sentai to ask if they can reinstate it? If it is that they're trying to block a specific customer then you could mention that they only need to block the locker number in that customer's shipping address, not the whole address. It's also possible that they've only just...

Well this is interesting. X-Files is back on Prime. I wonder what caused Disney to loosen their grip on it after they locked down all 20th Century Fox material onto Disney+ a few years back.

July Newswire is up. And there's a third one I ordered last month! While I hope you're right, media companies have an extremely loose definition of what soon means. Movies are routinely referred to as coming soon when they're a year or two away. AL themselves often use the phrase "the wait is...

Unfortunately I've just blown my life savings on 1000 copies of Chargeman Ken. You can look forward to AL announcing the ultimate edition next week. 👍

(Insert unhinged laughter here) How does this happen twice in one week? I ordered the US release of The Executioner and Her Way of Life last month after waiting two years, then a UK version is announced this week. I spent about £140 on the JP release of Macross Delta last month after waiting...

It's all tease no reveal, but does at least seem to confirm that Ace Combat 8 is still in development. Considering how many projects game publishers have been cancelling in recent years, that wasn't a given.

They were literally days late in announcing The Executioner & Her Way of Life. I ordered it from the US last week and it hasn't even arrived yet. 🤦‍♂️

I recommend giving the audio commentaries a go. They're all pretty interesting. I've always had a soft spot for Battle in Outer Space. The plot and characters are a bit basic compared to some other Toho SF movies of that era, but the movie does what it says on the tin with gusto. I can't think...

Crunchyroll may have though that Catcher in the Ballpark looked too close to Catcher in the Rye? But I think the most likely answer is that the original title sets a false expectation of the series being about baseball rather than the people who sell beer at a baseball stadium.

Good point. I went with Mandarake for the Frontier movies, since the English subbed release of those is long out of print. I wanted to vote with my wallet where possible though, to show there's demand for subbed Macross releases. With Nozomi functionally gone, I suspect the only hope for a...

They're my usual choice and I've always been impressed by how securely they package things. The only reason I didn't use them this time was a ¥2000 price difference on the box set.

Macross Delta - Walkure Edition box set. This is the JP release with English subtitles. Includes a bonus disc that I think has a live concert recording, and a booklet that surprisingly is almost all seiyuu photos. Goes to show how hard they were pushing the idol singer angle for this series, I...

🤣 I found mine a few years ago. The personal statements I wrote when I was 16 were pure cringe. Thankfully the whole thing was a load of nonsense that no employer has ever asked me for.

Unless I'm missing something, it looks like Amazon US might not be shipping blu-rays to the UK from their US storefront anymore. Some Amazon US items can still be imported by ordering on the UK storefront, but which items are listed there has always been patchy. I've tried looking up blu-rays...

I keep meaning to set up another simulwatch, but so much of my free time has been gobbled up by watching WWE ever since it switched to Netflix. And now there isn't time to do another full one before the promising summer anime season starts. With shows like Rascal and My Dress-Up Darling coming...
