    Vinland Saga - Collector's Edition Review

    Yeah, that's the thing you'd have to have everyone speaking languages other than English with subtitles underneath, which for an English dub wouldn't be a great selling point! That's why I said I appreciated the effort but it would've made more sense for the actual anime team not to go for the...

    Vinland Saga - Collector's Edition Review

    Vinland Saga blends historical drama with bloody action and some shonen tropes to form a very satisfying whole, so it’s great to see the anime adaptation finally make it to physical media here in the UK in the form of this collector;s edition. Let’s take a deeper look into MVM’s latest release…...

    Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero Review

    Dragon Ball’s latest cinematic outing is somewhat divisive due to its use of CG animation (and it’s use of the word “Super” twice in a row in its title… just me?) though what has at least got people to stand up and take notice in a positive way is an almost complete lack of Goku and Vegeta...

    UK Anime Distributor Crunchyroll/Funimation/Manga UK Discussion Thread

    Weird to see Dragon Ball on the BBC iPlayer! Also weird to think of Super being people's first introduction to the series, but then looking at the overall Dragon Ball story it was weird for Z to be most people's introduction and that worked out well...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Nice to see SEED Destiny, there was always a thought in the back of my head that if the worst should happen the AL lose the Gundam license it would be really annoying to have only half of SEED on my shelf, despite not really liking Destiny I'm happily going to drop £120 on it at the end of the...

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

    This is a surprise, given FUNimation brought Crunchyroll I assumed Crunchy would fold into FUNimation, not the other way around. I can only assume that CR has the bigger established subscriber base so it's an easier job? Either way if it works out then less money coming out monthly sounds good...

    If I were you I wouldn't look into One Piece then, you'll have a heart attack! :p

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

    Oh there's no doubt it was pre-animated, some of the footage is from towards the end of the arc and there's no way they've got anywhere near that. Doesn't change the fact that it's not CG animation ala the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero though!

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

    I thought Bleach looked (computer assisted) 2D? Certainly not a CG animation like, sadly, DBS Super Hero.

    JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean Episodes 1 - 12 Review

    The adaptations of JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure have returned to our screen via a Netflix 12-episode drop. Beginning the anime version of Part 6: Stone Ocean, these episodes feature a female lead character and female-heavy cast along with a prison setting, so do these departures work in the...

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

    Wow, that's a fact I never knew about. I remember Tracey Island builds on Blue Peter more than the re-runs of the show I saw growing up in the late 80s/90s.

    Robotech - Part 1: The Macross Saga Review

    I'm all for natural, subtle film grain, that's why this seemed so excessive as soon as I put the first disc in the menu played footage in the background. The blacks are nearly greys because of the amount of noise in them. Overall it didn't hurt my watch of the series much, but it was...

    Robotech - Part 1: The Macross Saga Review

    Robotech means a lot to American fans of a certain age, while Macross means a lot to Japanese fans of many ages. Here in the UK, however, neither hold massive sway, least of all Robotech, which was barely featured on TV here. So how does a Blu-ray release containing just the original 80s dubbed...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    So I recieved my copy of Psych-Pass: Sinners of the System yesterday. I have to say the box is a hell of a lot chunkier than I was imagining... Not complaining as such, but it is odd to have three one-hour stories take up more room than the first two series combined, very nearly both series...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Yeah, that's more it. Basically Victory is just really poorly written, which is depressing in a different way, especially given its length...

    I imported Gundam NT through them before... then ended up buying the official UK release for the matching packaging... Since I've watched Hathaway on Netflix I'll wait for the eventual matching box...

    My Hero Academia – Season 4 Part 2 Review

    The second half of My Hero Academia’s fourth season is a more relaxed affair after an action-packed first half, but is that a bad thing? Continue reading...

    Neo: The World Ends With You (PS4) Review

    In a rare look at a recently released video game, it’s time to answer this question: how can you follow up a 2007 Nintendo DS game on home consoles in 2021? Given the core input method at the very least would have to change, it would be a hard ask. Let’s see if Square Enix and the team at...

    Netflix's Live-Action Cowboy Bebop to Release This November

    As per usual with these live action adaptations I don't see the point in making it and I don't want to watch it but I'll watch it anyway "just in case" and then almost certainly not like it as predicted.... 😐
