filled some gaps secondhand this week Tokyo Godfathers, the only Kon I was missing and the only one I haven't seen. about time I put that right! bought S1, 3 and 4 of Familiar of Zero for £5 each from the AOL clearance sale over a year ago but it's taken until now to find a reasonably priced...

so many shows hitting my £10 sweet spot in that Zavvi sale. must ... resist ... (also buying some classic Dr Who from HMV the other day with extra 20% off codes didn't help the ol' bank balance) edit: I had a couple of drinks and gave in, don't drink kiddos 🍷🍷 🫠

with the merging of Rightstuf into Crunchyroll this feels like the worst timing for UP1 to close for UK import peeps. yes we'll still be able use forwarders for Crunchyroll, but I'm pretty sure those juicy juicy sales are not going to transfer with the merge. I need a hero, I'm holding out for a...

welp, looks like the Crunchyroll/Rightstuf merge is finally happening, with Rightstuf being closed. end of an era.

YKK volume 3 finally arrived today, look at that fancy rainbow reflection! Also got some bargains in CeX: a minty Arslan S1 Ltd Ed for £10 (the box is really nice!) and Robotech S2 for £5 (even if it was mangled for western release it's 80s mecha for a fiver, might as well) Finally Ocean Waves...

the full name for Gurren Lagann in Japanese is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, it's the bigger image on the right. dread to think how much Aniplex will charge for 4Ks!

yeh I love City, Kyoani doing an adaption of it is one of my dream projects!

there's a Volume 11?!?! amazing, guess I'll just head over to the manga shop then

Sound Euphonium S3 trailer, airing in spring 2024!

Talking of postal damage .... 😭

I've got a Sony UBP-X500, it doesn't come with any apps but I didn't want them as my TV does that already. it's been absolutely rock solid for me so far, played everything I've thrown at it including h265 mkvs via the USB. also remembers where you are on a disc if you pause and switch it off, so...

mystery yuri visual novel Kudan no Folklore is getting a physical release in Japan on Dec 21, which will include English, Japanese and Chinese text. you can check out the official site here

Gundam ZZ 1-8 was feeling a bit lost after finishing Zeta, so what the hell started up double Zeta. its going to be twice as good, right?!? Gundam really enjoys pulling a tonal shift between series, and this time seems to be no different, with it being pretty much a straight up comedy so far...

v curious about the Dino Risi set. not a genre that I know anything about, but all the films in the set seem well regarded.

Rightstuf sale order finally here! City Hunter & Cat's Eye are pretty much my ideal of what an 80s anime should look like, no matter how silly the stories get I can ooh and aah at the pretty art all day Sound Of The Sky has been on my wants list for a few years now, so v happy to finally own a...

Interesting, I didn't know that game had English support, onto the wishlist it goes. I've been collecting Switch VNs for a while now and it's frustrating trying to figure out which JP released ones have English language support. e.g. I bought the following over the last month or so, the first 2...

I've seen 1st, R and S series, but not SuperS and Sailor Stars. how would you rate the last two series, are they as good, do they get more weird etc

good stuff, this was part of the new Sentai Sale, right??!? they also have a Mystery Box of OOP LEs that they claim is $400 of value for $125. never going to pay that much for random stuff but intrigued to find out what people get in their bundles!

mid-season review time! Undead Murder Farce - my fav of the season so far. reminds me of shows like Baccano with great direction, snappy dialog with a large set of interesting characters etc. has the potential to maybe overreach with all the famous fictional characters popping up, but doing an...

finally finished Zeta Gundam. really enjoyed it, especially the second half when things start hotting up. the amount of times someone would go on an unauthorised trip in a mobile suit made me laugh though, you'd think after a couple of times they'd clamp down on that sort of thing. 🫡 all hail...
