    Amazon's Import Fees Deposit

    It only happened to me once that they refunded the full deposit. The email was just like the standard refund you generally get when they refund you a couple of cents due to exchange rate fluctuations. Interestingly enough it took way longer than usual (>2 months). So while there's no way of...

    Mob Psycho 100 II - Episode 8

    I feel the exact same by the second season. So far it has really been nothing short of brilliant. The first few episodes I had my doubts, as it seemed to fail to capture the same feel season one had, but in the end, the slightly more grounded tone let to the magnificently handled episodes...

    Black Clover - Ep 72 Price of Smiles - Ep 9 Kaguya-sama - Ep 8 Mob Psycho 100 II - Ep 8 Again a really nice episode; definetly anime of the season for me Sword Art Online: Alicization - Ep 20 Pacing seems to remain a bit on the slow side, but otherwise an enjoyable episode. Though, I found it...

    The General Conversation Area

    It's kind of ridiculously how big TVs are getting if you ask me. It seems they are positioning 43" as average (although it already seems to shift to 55"). While I'm all for big TVs being an option, it's not as if the rooms that will house them have grown over time :-P Good luck! Living close to...

    Me neither, though I really enjoyed Fate/Zero. The others that I watched just felt lackluster compared.

    Popular US voice actor(s) are accused of showering underaged fans with unwanted affection

    Totally agree with what you wrote. I generally think that when people ask for evidence it's not so much denying (nor actually wanting evidence), but more questioning why one should assume the accusations to be true. That being said, the way you phrased the above doesn't quite sit right with me...

    Popular US voice actor(s) are accused of showering underaged fans with unwanted affection

    That does make it somewhat unlikely that they wanted to get rid of him before this whole ordeal. But still, it could very well be that the reason they wanted to cut ties with him is due to the accusations, but the actual reason they "found" after "investigation" could very well just be some...

    Popular US voice actor(s) are accused of showering underaged fans with unwanted affection

    It surprises me to see that people take the fact that companies cut ties with him as some form of evidence that the accusations are true and/or more is going on. Generally if an employer wants to get rid of you, they will find a way to do so. There's always a reason why they want to let you go...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Totally agree that you don't want any artificial sharpening, just wanted to add that on some TVs a sharpness of 0 isn't actually OFF, but softens the images. So it's best to just look up the value for your TV that leaves the image "untouched" in terms of sharpness.

    Winter Streaming Preview 2019

    Shows about a love triangle with family might be rare, but shows featuring it are a bit more common. I also doubt it's fully up to culture, but more a simple result of making a show with forbidden love + extra drama. Doesn't make it any good, though, and I'm pretty sure it isn't a show for me...

    Why The Rising of the Shield Hero's Anime Is Better Than the Original Light Novel

    I'm half-way through volume 4 and thus far the writing didn't really improve IMHO. The first person writing is annoying, but you get used to it. The biggest problem is that there's a lot of plot convenience, which the anime adaptation can't possibly avoid (without big changes to the story)...

    Preview of Rising of the Shield Hero. Having also read a few of the LNs I can say they managed to adapt the material quite well thus far. Biggest problem is also that they managed to adapt the material quite well :p. It wouldn't have hurt if they took a bit more creative liberties to improve on...

    I don't think CR changed it, they just translated the main title rather than using the subtitle. As for making more sense, I understood that the title is actually referring to the fact that the distance from Japan to Antarctica is more than the distance from Earth to beyond the atmosphere. So it...

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    Most discs should play fine using this method, as long as MakeMKV can "open" the disc. However, it won't remove any region locking, so that might be amiss here. According to the "US Region [B|2]" thread the Sentai disc in question is actually region A (and not just Geo-locked). You should be...

    US Region & Geolocking Compatible Blu-ray/DVD Imports

    Do note that there are two versions of geo-locking used by Sentai. An older one checks that the country code of the player is either US or CA, while the newer one simply checks that the country code is anything other than JP. Obviously the latter one should be playable in practically all BD players.

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

    While there are certainly franchise films that don't get licensed, I have the feeling more are being licensed than not. Things like K-on! the movie, Chuunibyou, Beyond the boundary (Mirai), GuP der Film, SAO Ordinal Scale, Tamako Love Story, Index, Shana and more.

    I'm so looking forward to watching this! :D Sadly it was shipped in a bubble mailer, despite ordering a magazine and even a CD alongside it. As a result it's not in a pristine condition (slightly dented).:confused:

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    To be fair, the logic is more along the lines of "if you can't see the banding on your display, which other "details" aren't visible". So a new/other display could bring out more details, inadvertently also highlighting problems present in the source. It's the same reason that analog TV looked...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    True, they have implemented a mechanism that will try the various region codes and determine which lead to a "dead-end" and which is/are the correct one. So in that case the switching is done for you, though, it isn't flawless. There are (and theoretically always will be) cases that they can't...
