    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Geo locked discs can also be played back fine using Kodi. Just like the region code, the "geo lock" check is performed in software, not in hardware, so all you have to do is ensure that Kodi (or any other player for that matter) uses the correct country code when playing a geo locked disc. Also...

    US Region & Geolocking Compatible Blu-ray/DVD Imports

    Personally I wouldn't buy a show on DVD if there are BDs out there, but I can understand not wanting to risk buying discs that might not play. All the more reason for the list in this thread (and this thread in general) to be kept up to date, maybe I should start checking the discs in my...

    US Region & Geolocking Compatible Blu-ray/DVD Imports

    From my experience, most recent Sentai BDs seem to have the Geolocking changed from US or CA to not JP, making them practically region free bar any Japanese Blu-ray players. Not sure if this applies to all their discs nowadays, but this was already the case for the Chuunibyou S2 discs.

    Favourite Mamoru Hosoda film

    Having only seen The Girl Who Leapt Through Time and Summer Wars, I would say my favourite is TGWLTT. Summer Wars seems to have a broader appeal, but nothing that would make me want to rewatch it, whereas TGWLTT only gets better with each rewatch. :-)

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

    That is from Rolling Girls, quite a fun show if you ask me. Edit: unless you meant the part from 1:29 - 1:30, in which case it's probably 'The Ambition of Oda Nobuna', I think(?)

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    That's probably because it's the first movie. When I ordered the the second recap movie two months ago, the first one wasn't in stock. It just recently came back in stock and that's when I ordered it. For good measure, here are the amazon links to both the versions I ordered. First movie...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    From amazon.co.jp, now I have both recap movies. I did order a Newtype magazine volume along with it, but sadly it still came in a bubble mailer and one corner got ever so slightly crushed :(. On a positive note the BD was centered on the magazine using rubber bands, so that wasn't a complete waste.

    Re:ZERO's Video Quality in UK/US discs Discussion

    While having a proper functioning disc is important, for me one of the biggest reasons I buy physical releases is for the picture quality. I can accept a bit of banding when streaming shows, but when I pop in a Blu-ray I want a nice clean image. These image look pretty bad IMO to a level where...

    Political views in reviews (split from GITS Part 2 review)

    Personally I wouldn't include any politics in reviews, unless perhaps the work itself already does. Not only does it generally not add a whole lot, it also doesn't age very well. If it's minor enough, I'm not really bothered by it, but if it's present throughout the entire review, I'll likely...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    They arrived safe and sound! :D For some reason the package went through the same sorting facility thrice, arrived a day late and was (externally) in quite a bad state. DHL even used "repacked" tape to cover some tears on the side, so I was really holding my breath for what I would find inside...

    From Amazon.co.jp: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha: Reflection and Hibike! Euphonium: Todoketai Melody Still trying to justify the prices in my head o_O, though I just wanted to see Reflection and as for Euphonium, I had to own something physical of the show. Not a big fan of compilations movies in...

    So Whats The Next "I Can't Believe This Got An Uncut BBFC Rating" Anime That Has No UK Release Yet

    I just realized I now know more about the BBFC than about the classification board over here in the Netherlands (Kijkwijzer). So I dug into it a bit and it turns out they not only classify audiovisual material, but also music. The main difference is that with Kijkwijzer the parties can submit...

    The General Conversation Area

    For some reason I read your second sentence first, and was quite surprised by the disturbing horror story. Then I properly read your entire post and it all made sense.:p (Although mice in and on themselves can still be quite the horror story) The most annoying thing about mice is that you...
