I'll be ordering mine soon from Up1. I trust Up1 more than TBD, not that I've ever used TBD, :D

Oh, forgot to post, yesterday I received Gurren Lagann: Parallel Works first pressing (comes with a pretty big DVD case sized booklet with character info/tons of art, beautiful! The main case is a super jewel too, very sexy).

When the CEO of Funimation says the Japanese have no facts or figures to back this up, that just doesn't hold up :P (with respect to reverse importing). Also, the Japanese DVD market is strange, other markets certainly don't only take up 1% of sales (I'm assuming you mean physical media as a...

Blame the Japanese committees, and the people who hold up rights processes', and the fat cats who solely care about their own industry (this is inclusive of the committees). Things are improving, just look around... Akira just got announced for Blu-ray in Japan and America...

Not that that says it's positive or nagative "unique and innovative", one would assume it'd be more towards the positive end of things, especially as the anime industry is a niche and collector orientated market (on the majority of shows), Funimation just thinks it's a good idea to devalue and...

Did it go into hiatus? I guess you're talking about the Japanese run, the English version has been ongoing as far as I'm aware, although now it's like 2 volumes a year because of lack of sales.

I've had no problems with them either, great service. Gantz took a while to process, but whatever. I'm thinking of placing a huge manga order soon, so I'm actually going to start reading some : ). Eden, Berserk, Gunsmith Cats, OMG 2nd edition, Blood+, Gantz, Mushishi, yay!

Today (or yesterday, who knows...): One Piece Season 1: Second Voyage It actually arrived! yay! Just hurry up with the releases Funimation. I feel asleep while watching it.

I just have a huge cupboard that reaches the ceiling that is packed full of anime. The overflow goes onto brackets w/ wood sheets.

I don't quite understand the "cheat-sheet" thing, I've never heard of it. I've heard that in recent times fansubbers are getting access to 'closed-captions' that they can do translations from, so the quality is better than trying to hear what the characters are saying. Of course, I don't...

I have it and I like it, it's pretty addictive actually, and good for finding people from the past.

Meh I couldn't care less to be honest. The less butchering of kids anime for American TV the better. Good riddance.

Wow this completely went over my head. There's no way I'll be able to get down there to see these now. Oh well. And they're in the nice cinema 1 too, I guess they expect to have a large audience. Cinema 2 was atrocious for comfort. I went to see The Girl Who Leapt Through Time at the ICA...

Those screencaps really show this series age. And the transfer quality... Oh dear.

And more today o_O: Ayumi Hamasaki 10th Anniversary boxset (first pressing) including 3CDs of all her main singles from the beginning up to her latest single, plus a DVD, large booklet and a chipboard box for the first pressing <3 Beautiful!!!

Don't even go there :) It's not a religion either, more of a business, or at the very least to place some part of religious-ness into it, a cult.

Today's Japanese imports: Mell's [Black Lagoon OP] debut album "Mellscope" (first pressing) - included a nice big poster, the case is shiney/metallic digipak design with a large booklet with pictures/lyrics/etc; absolutely beautiful release. Revolutionary Girl Utena "OST/CD remaster...

It has and is the same format as in Japan and the US.
