    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 21

    We see how Satoko gains her looping powers and we also learn that she is, or rather will become, someone we all know from Umineko: On a more positive note, I quite like the new ED 😅

    Don't go to pieces! Land of the Lustrous simulwatch (completed)

    Might tag along as well. Haven't watched it yet and was always a bit on the fence due to it being CG, though wanted to give it a shot at some point. So what better excuse than this :)

    What did you BUY today?

    Building a 5.1 setup in stages is the way to go. You'll get way more out of a solid 2.1 (or even 2.0) setup compared to a "cheap" 5.1 setup. And while expensive, speakers can really last long and don't really become obsolete.

    What manga are you reading now?

    Decided to try and make a dent in my backlog. Physical Komi Can't Communicate vol 6-9 A tropical fish yearn for snow vol 5 Kimi ga Shinu made Koi wo Shitai vol 2 Sickness Unto Death vol 2 (complete) Eh... first volume was quite intriguing, but the second volume didn't really have the same...

    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 19

    Not wanting to sound to negative each episode, I'll start with a positive. It's a nice change of pace seeing events that take place after 1983. This arc thus far has clearly been focussed on showing the motive of Satoko. It might just be me, but the show does a very poor job of it. In a way...

    What’s going on at Amazon?

    I think we can only speculate what's going on. But I believe Amazon simply does this to push people to use other Amazon sites instead. Now why they might want to do this in this case is beyond me, but in some way money is probably the answer. Similar things have happened with Amazon.de for me...

    Upcoming UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Artwork

    Why did they have to go for this dark purple colour? Clannad should be cherry blossom pink and Clannad After Story should be sunflower yellow. I won't have it any other way.

    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 17

    Seeing as no thread was created for this episode, I took the liberty to do so now. Now I am curious what others thought of the episode, as I really needed some time sorting out my thoughts. This is the first episode that really provided some answers, and while I really wanted to like it, this is...

    Fan service and its appropriateness

    I also fail to see why people get so worked up about fiction that clearly doesn't fit their tastes. As you said, it's generally not that hard to avoid. Where I think the discussion becomes interesting is when looking at works that do appeal to your tastes for the most part, but not in every...

    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 16

    What an episode, though I'm really conflicted about it. On one hand I think this is the best episode thus far, on the other hand there is a lot "wrong" with it. In a way it manages to encapsulate all that Higurashi is about. We have the stark contrast between dark/horror and light-hearted SoL...

    Eat my shorts

    I find myself often disappointed by shorts for some reason. In my opinion they either suffer from the lack of time or play it safe, where it just ends up being lackluster or without any substance. So the ones that I do enjoy tend to either be more on the artistic side, or series that manage to...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    It has finally arrived. Honestly I practically forgot about it, until I received a shipping notice. The crowdfunding took place in October 2017 and somewhere in 2019 a clear postcard (pictured on the right) was sent as an apology for the delays, now in 2021 it's finally here 🥳 I do recall...

    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 15

    They burned through Rika's loops in no time. Really sad to see Akasaka go L5 and kill Rika. Akasaka is one of the few I'd consider to be genuinely good. I also really like the dynamic between him and Rika (not in this episode, though 😟) I have the feeling that the next episode will give us some...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    The majority of the things I got in the AL Christmas Sale. With regards to Gundam I sort of only go for the CEs, but since I only started buying them later, I was never able to get a hold of the Zeta CEs. Couldn't say no to the SE with the BOGOF deal. Perhaps this will incentivice me to finally...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Indeed, though it is still possible that the saving of the 15% code is "applied" to any of the other items from the same order. Though that still wouldn't explain the £39.99, nor does it seem likely that it was done that way. This now has me concerned about the BOGOF action, if those are also...

    Just checked, and it was also declared as 39.99GBP for me for some reason. 34.99 would've made more sense. The value declared on the package that contained Birthday Wonderland did match the sale price of 19.99GBP. So perhaps it was just a typo in their system?

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    WWY came from zavvi.nl. I didn't have to pay any "ransom fee" and it arrived in good condition, some corners are slightly dented, but nothing unacceptable. For those interested, the package did have an CN22 form and lists Guernsey as the return address, but the "country of origin of goods" was...

    Higurashi: When They Cry (2020) Episode 14

    Good episode. We did get to see Ooishi's killing spree. This might sound weird, but it was less awful than I expected (still awful mind you). Personally I think it would've been better to leave it (mostly) implied. On the other hand it gives us some clear information. And there's a lot to...

    The thing is I don't know if this applies to orders made before Brexit. But I'll let you guys know once it arrives.

    Zavvi.nl as it worked out slightly cheaper compared to zavvi.com at the time. But I do hope it slips through customs, but even if it doesn't, as long as it's in perfect condition.
