The second part of Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is a rollercoaster ride into hell, filled with intense action sequences and tender moments with its strong, tight-knit cast of characters. While it may lack the finesse of the first part’s drama and plot development, this is overall one...

Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid is a slice-of-life comedy that is both very funny and very relaxing to watch. These types of shows don’t come up very often these days, so if you’ve been craving something like it, then it’ll definitely scratch that itch. Continue reading...

While this first half of Iron-Blooded Orphans does have its flaws, Mari Okada and Tatsuyuki Nagai's unique and distinct take on the Gundam franchise emerges as extremely dark, profusely political, and brutally bloody. Continue reading...

While being connected to the Rage of Bahamut mobile game presents a barrier to entry, and its very slow, methodical pace may bore some viewers, Mysteria Friends is a beautiful slice-of-life series with a surprisingly wholesome yet playful take on the yuri genre. Continue reading...

Normally I'd usually go to Travelling Man as the Newcastle branch has a large selection and I'm always up for supporting independent stores. In these times of 'vid however been using Waterstones a lot more - seem to have had more stock available than Wordery recently.

I don't have any experience with the website but they turn up to conventions a lot, mostly selling art books and magazines. They are legit at least if you're considering it.

Yeah that's fair. I think in general Gundam struggles with creating convincing lead protagonists. They're usually either stoic emotionless heroes or utter brats. While I found Judau's "adults suck" attitude tiresome after a while, I would say he's better than Kamille, who I felt was billed as...

Finished Gundam ZZ last night. The silly first half is pretty terrible and the Moon Moon stuff is just downright weird and turns the show into a bad knock off of Scooby Doo. There's definitely some good bits in there in the second half that do elevate it a bit for me and the final few episodes...

While difficult to get into with its initial weird sci-fi premise, Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl emerges as a heartfelt and funny slice-of-life series that really cares for its cast of characters, tackling some sensitive issues really well. Continue reading...

S1 did come with a booklet yes. The US release got it so it's weird that we didn't.

With its second season, Love Live! Sunshine!! emerges out of the shadow of the original series and takes its own direction on trying to save a school from closure using the power of music. Continue reading...

All 178 episodes of OG Aikatsu. Also includes the movies but I already have them individually. Cheaper getting this new set than buying the BD boxes individually.

This second part of Welcome to the Ballroom gives a satisfying conclusion to this arc of Tatara’s story, and despite some faults with its pacing and brand of humour, delivers an exciting showcase of the spectacle of competitive ballroom dancing. Continue reading...

The first volume of The Misfit of Demon King Academy is very much an introduction setting up the characters and the world around them. There’s nothing particularly special or gripping about it so far, but the class divide between the demons gives it something to differentiate it from other...

This is a good point and certainly true in my case. I subbed literally just for Violet Evergarden, but I've ended up keeping it going because there's western stuff on there that I've discovered and have found I want to watch. In general though, I'd feel better about it if there was an actual...

Fire Force is a pretty decent shonen action show that has some really great moments when it touches upon the danger and heroics of being a firefighter. However, it is spoiled by the overuse of foreshadowing and unnecessary fanservice. Continue reading...

Aikatsu link doesn't work for me but I can provide the latest release: https://lnk.to/XQqH7g

I have the arrange CD from the JP BD set, but still need to get round to buying the full soundtrack album.

Over a decade since it first aired, Toradora! remains a classic romantic comedy series filled with lots of laughs, lovable characters and dramatic, moving moments. Continue reading...

The spines sure make their brand stand out, but I definitely think they should be more subtle. There's a method of marking "yep, this is ours" without conflicting with the product itself. A small watermark like logo above the product code would be enough, similar to how the Funi/Crunchy releases...
