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

    That is as long as they have been declared correctly. I have bought from places that sell books and DVDs and often they just put everything down as DVD. Of course then you open the package you have paid VAT on and find half is books and the post can't do anything about it.

    Heaven's Lost Property and Sekirei come to mind for recent-ish stuff.

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

    I don't mind the VAT or duty but the ridiculous handling fee from the post/courier service is just offensive and the main reason I don't import directly much any more. The one and only time I had a big order delivered by UPS I nearly fainted as it had something like an £18 handling fee plus the...

    Review of Black Magic M-66

    Great getting back to the 80s and 90s for some proper cyberpunk anime. The VHS for this is still on my VHS shelf between Bubblegum Crash and Ultraman 2 along with Angel Cop, Cyber City, AD Police and Geno Cyber As for classic reviews I wonder if this could become a more regular thing. Given...

    PlanetAxel Goes Into Bankruptcy

    Bugger. I went on this morning to to put my usual monthly order through and got the message about them going out of business. I usually put through about 6-8 or so box sets / DVDs or Blu-Ray for something like £150-£200. I have now put an order through UP1 which with most things costing £5 - £10...

    VAT free loop hole to be closed by budget

    Bugger. It should not effect me too badly though as I stopped buying direct from the US awhile back when the dollar pound exchange rate crapped out and I was getting fed up with the Royal Mail charges. As Axelmusic, UP1 and the like pay the duty up front hopefully the only thing I will notice is...

    New Anime Releases 07/03/2011: Naruto Shippuden Series 1

    Speed Grapher is not super natural it is more pseudo-science with the crazy people being created when a virus / chemical warfare like thing reacts with someone with the right DNA or whatever. It is quite a decent chase type show with a revenge plot featuring the main bad guy (I won't say more it...

    Anime over the holidays

    If I manage to get down to my folks with this weather I will need to take some dubbed stuff I have watched before as my dad has an annoying habit of standing in front of the TV talking to me when I am trying to watch things. On top of that I will try to get around to Clannad After Story...

    Spring 2011

    Appleseed Xxxholic Black Lagoon Princess Resurrection The World God Only Knows Are the ones to jump out to me. I would like to think the X-men will be decent and I will probably at least give a go to any of the ones showing on Crunchyroll or available from Funimation on a UK stream

    Manga Ent cancels further Blu-ray Fullmetal Alchemist B

    What was the price difference like between the DVD and Blu-Ray as this may have the biggest effect on peoples purchase. I would expect many UK anime buyers to have a PS3 as many are gamers too so being able to play the disks should not be an issue unless everyone has imported PS3s to play US...

    Being A Dickhead's Cool

    This is why I hate the whole idea of fashion. A few years ago anyone dressed like that would have been asked if their mums dressed them and beaten-up, now somebody has decided it is the hight of fashion and cashed in.

    New Anime Releases 13/12/2010: Hetalia: Season 1

    I'm not interested in Gundam or Hetalia and I have the rest so nothing really for me. I may check out the Tenjho Tenge as I believe the old UK release had an OAV the US release did not. Not a bad selection though, especially since after discounts you should be able to pick things up for around £25.

    Trailer Madness

    Interesting premiss so far. But why did nobody seem to know anything in the previous films if this had already happened.

    Trailer Madness

    After watching the Real Steel trailer the following came into my head. Down on their luck Bay's Transformers are reduced to taking part in underground fighting tournaments to fund their addiction to mineral oil.

    The number of new members in November

    I am not sure if we would want to go down the Google ads route as I don't know how much control you get over the ads shown or whether they just show what they think is related to the site. There have been times on Crunchyroll the Google ads have been for known pirate manga/anime sites or at...
