I think it was an expectation thing, went in with one thing in mind and then it wasn’t 100%. Still, enjoyable but I preferred the serious tone more. That said, I’ll watch the other series in the boxset and just adjust expectations to comedy.
Patlabor: The Early Days OVAs
So my first exposure to the franchise was seeing the first movie at the Barbican years back. So I won’t lie, I was a little confused when I watched these and at first it seemed like work place comedy with some action and/or suspense elements on top. It left me a...
This weeks goodies. Happy to say I have all of the 4k Discotek releases again. I also managed to get a copy of the Steelbook Angel Cop as it’s now OOP and is an upgraded version to the normal bluray release.
Macross Plus OVAs
So after all the chat this week, I went ahead and watched Macross Plus for the first time. Two episodes yesterday and the final two today.
Holy ****, what a banger. Nice human drama, cool action and the music is awesome too (considering it’s Watanabe and Kanno, it’s kind of...
@BrokenPhoenix agree. I think the thing I like about Discotek is that they just do the best version they can on the disc with as many extras or alternative subs etc and release that.

Sound! Euphonium: Ensemble Contest Ova
I’m gonna say it, best one yet. Great performances by the main cast with some newbies thrown in and some of the third years showing up for good measure. I loved the concise story, sure I’d have loved for it to be 90 mins rather than 55 mins but it got in...
Good work @BrokenPhoenix. The CGI one, is that Earwig? It’s really not a great film, it’s like they tried to make a western film and failed because they don’t have the style for that. I’d suggest watching a bit on Netflix and seeing what you think.
Not one for me, but one for someone maybe: Tenchi Muyo OVA Collection

Sound! Euphonium: Our Promise: A Brand New Day Film
Wow, all the grammar in that title. Another banger, more of the same but with a more condensed story it felt like a lot of the more “silly” drama gets resolved quicker.
I think it’s easy to compare to Liz and Blue Bird. I imagine most people...
