    Thanks. I shall hold off on my order. It's not like I'm lacking for viewing material. Just received a six DVD set of the Carol Burnett Show and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond.

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

    There's an article in today's Financial Times about anime! How Japanese anime took over the world by Leo Lewis. I'd paste some copy, but they can be very litigious about that sort of thing.

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Currently have The Apothecary Diaries and The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter in my eBay basket, trying to decide whether to stick with the Malaysian versions or wait for them to get a legit release in the UK/US. Anyone know if Crunchyroll has given up on physical releases yet, leaving the...

    My Dress-Up Darling: Official Anime Fanbook Review

    So tempting. Just checked and it's currently £18.47 on Amazon. Maybe I can splurge for Christmas. :)

    One Piece episodes 31-44: I thought we'd be just picking up Nami and moving on to finding more crew members (they really need to find a doctor/healer soon). Instead, we get 14 episodes telling Nami's backstory and resolving all the trauma caused by those fishmen. Will all the characters have a...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I picked up That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond from Rarewaves but needed something cheap to scrape over £20 and get the 10% discount. Chose Shame of the Jungle, which I last saw as a teenager at a video night at a friends place …. on VHS. I'm not expecting great...

    One Piece episodes 18-30: so, one standalone episode, and then 11 episodes (including a flashback) to obtain a cook for the ship. There are two more episodes to finish this particular arc, involving Nami and some fishmen (and their fishwives?). So many chefs were working on that small floating...

    What manga are you reading now?

    Now up to volume 8.5 of Invaders of the Rokujouma!? which, confusingly, comes before volume 8 (7.5 and 8.5 are a story set in another time and place, where Koutarou becomes a legend). Really enjoying this series. The anime only went up to somewhere round volume 6-7, so this is all new territory.

    I've got a notification for my pair of lamps (I had to check what I'd selected all those years ago to see if that was all). I just wish I had somewhere to display them....

    Princess Jellyfish complete series: In two minds about this show. The characters were interesting, but the depiction of attractive people being rapacious amoral monsters, while the unattractive ones can be bought off with meat and sweets, got a bit wearing. Of course, this only applied to the...

    One Piece episodes 9-17: Eight episodes to tell the story of Luffy's third crew member. I'm guessing they were commissioned for a lot of episodes from the start, as this could have been told in two episodes if it wasn't for all the intro's, previews, reviews, recaps, flashbacks, and extended...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Bought volumes 9-13 of Invaders of the Rokujyoma!? from Google Play, as they offered 10% off for more than two, and I'm really enjoying the series. I just wish I knew what a Rokujyoma was, as the word has yet to appear anywhere in the novels.

    One Piece episodes 5-8:So, Luffy finally has a second crew member after eight episodes. I can see this is going to be stretched out. Still a fun watch and I must thank iPlayer for giving me the opportunity to see it before buying the discs.
