I don't like giant robots as a genre per se, but there are some I have a lot of time for. Dai Guard is my go to, like Patlabor TV it's got a heavy dose of slice of life but it's more of an Evangelion clone, but here the twist is that it's the salarymen (and women) who ride the giant robot, and...

Third Window Films’ first 4k UHD release will be a doozy

I wrote this about Baki when I reviewed it last year... "Baki has made me pull out the ‘if you like this sort of thing, you’ll love this’ cliché." and "Baki is the kind of show you watch if you like the idea of people flaying each other by happy slapping." and "At one point Baki hears...

Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack for the win (loss?)

Looks like Kizumonogatari 1-3 for £7.99 each are this weeks DOTW https://www.anime-on-line.com/2964-Deal-of-the-Week

I'd go for the 47 episodes of the TV series first. then the 16 episodes of the second OVA series.

Yeah, Jerome worked for Manga for quite a while, but Manga went down the crapper (I seem to recall Jerome had a social media meltdown at one point too) and they parted ways. Jerome started Animatsu, and made enough of a success of it, that when Manga hit the skids, he was able to buy it and...

A Lull in the Sea did get a UK release, although you'll have to trawl eBay looking for pre-owned at this point. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=a+lull+in+the+sea&_sacat=617&_from=R40&_trksid=p4624852.m570.l2632

Jerome, who owned Manga Entertainment before selling it to Funimation, who were bought out by Crunchyroll, bought out by Sony.

Is anyone else having trouble checking out at Anime On Line? I can't see any option to pay by card or Paypal, and if I get two or more items past the free shipping threshold, there's a random penny added to the total.

So Jerome Mazandarani now writes the Answerman column, and yesterday’s offering was about Sony/Crunchyroll’s destruction of the physical media market.. I’m impressed that he wrote all that with zero irony or self awareness. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/answerman/2026-02-09/.233909

I imported the Region 1 DVD years ago, probably from Right Stuf. Looking on Amazon US, there is still one copy listed, but the Blu-ray seems to be a lot harder to find there. Either way it's not cheap.

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 has turned up for my first rewatch. It's even harder to watch knowing what's coming. The TV equivalent of Grave of the Fireflies.

My latest purchase is really digging into nostalgia. I watched this show as a kid, the UK's answer to Charlie Brown. I can't believe it's got a Blu-ray release.

Just to mention, it seems Anime Limited haven't yet restored the original pricing to their MVM Standard Editions from the XMas sale price at this time.

Three days later... Most of my Rarewaves order shows up, five out of seven items. I expect that they split the order, but just to be sure, I e-mailed customer service to check. The human or AI bot replied in seven minutes.

Was there something else in your order that gets released later. In that case you'll only get one e-mail when the final item in your order dispatches.

Pre-ordered from Anime on Line (stupid £50 free shipping limit!)

If anyone had been placing bets... Anime Limited won. Two boxes of 20 items just showed up. I'm okay with Rarewaves. I've only had one issue with them, and customer service sorted it sharpish. But I'll be expecting their delivery in ten days or so. I'm used to them being slow.
