Anime Limited will be selling a bunch of Kyoani merch at this weekend's MCM Official Kyoto Animation Merchandise at MCM London Comic Con – All the Anime

Nice. Missed that.

Out of curiosity, will there be a SLA-centric podcast this year? It's a shame there's not enough time to do regular shows anymore.

I did send Sentai a message during their Summer sale to see if I could make a special order with them, but just got a typical pr company response regarding "not at this current time", etc. Personally, I wouldn't hold out hope for their policy to change anytime soon. If it helps, the US company...

Not sure how applicable this is to people, as you will need to use a proxy shipping service to send the items abroad (and almost certainly be stung by customs), but Sentai currently have another big sale on their website. Definitely worth a look if anyone wants to pick up some of their premium...

Now I'm reminded of this old System of a Down album. I recall many retailers complained and refused to sell it because it promoted theft. I kina love the whole punk aesthetic behind the idea, which is why I think the PTE design fits perfectly.

Yeah, MVM reaped the benefits of Sentai's short-lived partnership with Anime Strike, meaning they have the licenses to some of 2017 biggest shows. As such, they'll possibly be able to release collector sets of the likes of Made in Abyss, Princess Principal & Girls Last Tour - likely in the style...

Heads up that Sentai have announced their upcoming releases of Girls Land Tour in both standard & premium editions for January 29th, & Land of the Lustrous in a steelbook edition for January 22nd. I'm super happy those releases finally have a date, although it's disappointing that Sentai...

Also, what was the issue with Wolf's Rain UE in regards to not fitting on the shelf briefly mentioned a few pages back? I don't own it yet but I have the Escaflowne & Eureka 7 UEs, & really appreciate how the actual blu ray cases can be stored separately with other disk sets. Are the dimensions...

The Bebop case looks cool, although I'd have nowhere to store it. I appreciate the idea behind some of the premier designs like FMA 2003's Gate design, but I'd much prefer simpler collector boxes set, both in terms of style and space. Not that it matters though - having already bought AL's...

I actually couldn't remember that it look place in Ireland specifically, let alone the Republic. Honestly, I'm proud to remember anything about that show, aside than it being a Yamakan project from back before he burned every professional bridge still available to him.

As for the Princess Principal dub, well I guess you can't fault the voice actors for trying their hardest. Apparently they had specialised guidance to sound more authentic, so I imagine it might go down well for US audiences. Of course, to a local it still sounds like the same unconvincing...

This discussion shows up every few years whenever there's a show based in the UK (Eg, Hellsing, Fractale etc.) In fact it's happening right now with Nozomi's kickstarter for Victorian Romance Emma. Let's Dub Emma A Victorian Romance Anime TV Series Season 1 The short answer is that British...

I think the main thing to take away from Innocence is that it's an Oshii film more than it is a GitS one. If you happen to love Oshii's relaxed dreamlike pacing and hazy musings you may well love it, but if want visceral action and snappy philosophical statements about the nature of the soul...

I'll throw my hat in the ring & also say that I enjoyed Astral Ocean far more than the original Eureka 7. Sure, it doesn't have Psalms of Planets grand world-building, but the pacing doesn't slow to a snail's crawl for vast chunks of the story, while the cast isn't largely populated by obnoxious...

From what I understand, a huge amount of the art designs, etc. for Hyouka ended up being lost due to poor management, so there may not enough material to do the same. I believe the material found in the booklets constitutes pretty much everything available, at least from the character designer...

Yeah, you're probably right. I looked at the page at saw the 40 in-case booklet & thought that was the art book being mentioned. I did ask the question whether the Night is Short posters constituted the slight price hike & was met with silence, so I've been unsure whether that was going to set a...

So I guess that last-second price hike for The Night is Short wasn't a fluke & we can probably expect a raise in pre-orders from now on. Will previous £35 priced early bird offers now cost £40? It would be nice to get some confirmation either way. Well, it doesn't matter to me too much in this...

I mean I am slightly interested in Genius Party for Watanabe's 'Baby Blue', maybe browse the booklet & complete my list of currently licensed Yuasa works, but if I didn't think the £20 early-bird pre-order was worth it upon release, then there's nothing since that has swayed my belief. That's a...

Btw, my bumper order from Sentai's website showed up today. I had already bought the first season of Chihayafuru shown in the picture, in addition to MVM's Flip Flappers release, but I couldn't resist Sentai's version for less than $40. I also got sick of waiting for a UK release of Flying...
