    Is It Me Or Is Buying Anime Just Way Too Expensive Nowadays

    :lol: Yep.. I meant Captain Earth.. Hahahaahah.. That'll keep me awake howling with laughter all night.. Yeah I think you did misunderstand me (hehehe) though you can sometimes find a bargain in the high street if you catch them at the right time. You got it when you talk about Amazon maybe...

    Is It Me Or Is Buying Anime Just Way Too Expensive Nowadays

    Interesting to see someone else asking this question. I posted something similar quite recently, questioning whether things had become a bit more expensive overall. The initial points raised in the opening shots of this thread are very valid. I tend to feel that the anime community is pretty...

    The Price of Joy

    I agree that normally the prices at HMV are inflated, and to be expected yet of late I've picked up some better deals there of late. That isn't my concern so much as the prices online though. The latest ones I've looked to are A Lull in the Sea and Captain Earth, both of which seem to be on...

    The Price of Joy

    Is it just me or has the price of anime sets gone up slightly of late? Granted it's coincidentally been a few months since I bought any, but now that some titles of interest are surfacing it seems as though they've risen beyond the usual mark up which you expect from high street retailers such...

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    I certainly was Normanic.. Overall buying a multi region DVD player has served me well over the years, and probably no more so than with this unwieldy beast of a film.. Come pay day I do believe one of these may have my name on it..

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    How is it!? Is it a good version, DVD-wise? I may be tempted myself..

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    I have to admit i havent been looking for a while, but something like that would light up the UK anime scene anyway, so i cant think there has been anything. As for whose fault it is I dont think that matters now. All I think we really care about is getting the damned thing released.

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    I really don't think it will. i agree its VERY frustrating. It wouldn't be so bad if someone would just say something.. a press release to explain anything. It cant be that hard surely!?

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    All i know is it's sat in the pile of licensed discs in the listings in this site, but not moving.. It wouldn't surprise me if they did something completely out of left field and just released parts one through four in a box set at some point down the line!

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    Well not of Eva specifically, but this is often the state of other series.

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    As I say it's a real shame. Evangelion has always been one of those shows that I wanted to get into, and has been on my list ever since I found out about it after my initial enthusiasms in the wake of Gunbuster and Ghost in the Shell, but unless a series is only running to part one and two...

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    A shame really because I love the first two movies, and like many others would simply like to enjoy the last two movies. I took the leap to the movies because I expected that it would be a much better proposition to watch these and get the story, since the series was a great example of how...

    Evangelion 3.33 You (Cannot) Have It

    I'm still amazed we haven't seen or heard anything about it since they announced it had been put on indefinite hold at the start of the year. Something is clearly wrong somewhere..

    Anime That is Cut in the UK: The Definitive Thread

    One item which did throw something into this arena is "Gunbuster". When I first bought DVD I acquired the UK release which was a direct lift from the VHS masters - the giveaway being a video tracking glitch (during a scene when Coach is chatting with Kazumi about Noriko's suitability as a mecha...

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    I watched Is "The Order a Rabbit?" on Crunchyroll myself not so long ago, and found it a delightful little slice of life comedy, somewhat akin to another favourite "Non Non Biyori" :)

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    HAL 8/10 This was a wonderfully touching movie short which felt as though it could have come from the Shinkai mould, and which you can say little about to be honest without spoiling anything. Although a little short in running time it was a lovely crafted story which for my money was nicely...

    Over-rated / Under-rated shows

    That's a series I've wanted to see - it's on my list, and seems quite similar, but yes it also sounds a tad lighter..

    Over-rated / Under-rated shows

    Hehehe.. I know what you mean about the animation style (I think it's 4:3 rather than 16:9 though, isn't it?), but for me it feels quite nice and loose - kinda keeps out of the way of the heart of the story. I think thought that as with the Shinji complex of Evangelion, that the situations the...

    Would you like a Maid café near you?

    Sheffield continues to emphasise itself as a city of culture, and we have a seemingly vast Asian university culture - come to Sheffield! It may do well! I'm not really the entrepreneural type, but I have enjoyed the notion of opening a cyberpunk type club/pub with an anime bias, based upon my...

    Fanservice, Does It Bother You?

    It's all horses for courses I think, and largely depends upon whether the situation is contrived or not, although even that is okay if it results in a truly funny scene. Push contrivance too far and it descends into full-on farce, but when it's handled cleverly it can result in scenes of true...
