I'm also looking forward to both the Bleach and Naruto sets, if nothing else to get some room on my shelves! ... Like a little bit, anyway. Plus I'll be able to put them in my main shelf unit with the Blu-Rays rather than the smaller "these shows are still stuck on DVD" shelf unit that's sort of...

Um, well, this seems kind of cruel to post after ActionFaust's post above, but... my three Patlabor sets arrived today and look nice.... Wasn't expecting so soon, that'll teach me to not pay attention to my e-mails for a day or two.

Getting a special run on big screens ahead of its physical media release, the finale of the “Evangelion Rebuild” films is quite the experience and sitting in front of a large cinema screen will certainly add to that, but does Hideaki Anno’s third attempt at an ending to Evangelion get it right...

Another Gundam pre-order for me, though I was momentarily confused when I read I had until Thursday 7th August to get my pre-order in...

I just ordered Burn the Witch via PayPal and didn't run into any issues, so not sure what the exact problem is but it's not universal (unless they just fixed it in the last hour!)

Looking forward to G Gundam. I hated it the first time I saw it because even though I knew its reputation and even seen it in cross-over games I still went into it thinking like it was a Gundam show. Many years later I re-watched it with knowledge of what kind of show it was going in and had a...

I'll definitely get Thousand Year Blood War, the animation on that should pop nicely on blu-ray, but I assume the original series is just an upscale so not 100% sure I'll double dip, especially as @HWR just said there is always the worry they'll get two or three sets in then stop...

I imagine at the very least Rebirth's depiction of the Nibelheim incident will feature characters / moments mentioned in the novel, if only through items and off-hand remarks, same goes with flashbacks to Tifa and Cloud as kids, as you said. Plus some of the framing devices actually take place...

Traces of Two Pasts does exactly what it says on the tin (or book cover I guess) and gives us a look into the backstory of Tifa and Aerith, plus a bonus story at the end, all written by FFVII scenario writer himself (amongst so many other things!) Kazushige Nojima. Is it really juicy information...

Yeah if I hadn't caught up when it was "only" 400 or so episodes I wouldn't bother trying the show now...

Leiji Matsumoto is definitely one of those "his influence in the industry cannot be overstated" kind of people. Absolute legend.

Samurai 7 retells the extremely influential Akira Kurosawa film Seven Samurai but changes the setting from Japan’s past to a weird mix of science fiction, steampunk and Japanese culture to create something entirely different - well, apart from the 'small village hiring seven samurai to protect...

Yeah, that's the thing you'd have to have everyone speaking languages other than English with subtitles underneath, which for an English dub wouldn't be a great selling point! That's why I said I appreciated the effort but it would've made more sense for the actual anime team not to go for the...

Vinland Saga blends historical drama with bloody action and some shonen tropes to form a very satisfying whole, so it’s great to see the anime adaptation finally make it to physical media here in the UK in the form of this collector;s edition. Let’s take a deeper look into MVM’s latest release…...

Dragon Ball’s latest cinematic outing is somewhat divisive due to its use of CG animation (and it’s use of the word “Super” twice in a row in its title… just me?) though what has at least got people to stand up and take notice in a positive way is an almost complete lack of Goku and Vegeta...

Weird to see Dragon Ball on the BBC iPlayer! Also weird to think of Super being people's first introduction to the series, but then looking at the overall Dragon Ball story it was weird for Z to be most people's introduction and that worked out well...

Nice to see SEED Destiny, there was always a thought in the back of my head that if the worst should happen the AL lose the Gundam license it would be really annoying to have only half of SEED on my shelf, despite not really liking Destiny I'm happily going to drop £120 on it at the end of the...

This is a surprise, given FUNimation brought Crunchyroll I assumed Crunchy would fold into FUNimation, not the other way around. I can only assume that CR has the bigger established subscriber base so it's an easier job? Either way if it works out then less money coming out monthly sounds good...

If I were you I wouldn't look into One Piece then, you'll have a heart attack! :p
