Naruto Shippuden Box Set 37 is… not the final release of the series, despite the first volume of its sequel series being released after it. What Box 37 IS though is the final few episodes of adapted manga material, and the finale of the long… LONG Fourth Great Shinobi War story arc. How does it...

As per usual I have immediately pre-ordered the new Gundam release. Looking forward to Wing and 00 at the end of the year / start of next year as well (plus also weirdly looking forward to getting the little metal keychain with my CCA order...)

This version of Lupin the Third: Part IV is a follow-up from the English Dub-less original release from Anime Limited last year, and features the English language version exclusively. Does the dub hold up? Let’s find out! Continue reading...

I've had some problems here and there with couriers, but I don't use them often enough to get a gage on which ones are the best. I can say my Gundam NT set was delivered yesterday by UPS, so I got lucky this time, by the sounds of it!

I find it odd that they're releasing Boruto before finishing Shippuden, especially as after Set 37 in July they'll only be one left to release. I guess it counts as a separate license or something?

I just got an e-mail from UPS telling me my package had been dispatched, which i immediately thought to myself "Stupid spam, I don't have anything coming from UPS! Like I'd get tricked by a... oh, it says its from Anime Limited." So I'm assuming either my Gundam Narrative set has been...

The manga version of Akira Toriyama’s Super storylines continue their release here in the UK with Volume 5, containing the final chapters of the Future Trunks arc, and the start of the next, rather crazy, storyline… Continue reading...

On one hand it's a real shame, Manga Entertainment's logo has been appearing on my purchased anime releases dating back to the first one I ever brought (Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie on VHS sometime in the late 90s), so to see them get brought out by an American company is disheartening...

Totally against type, at the start of the year I brought the 80s/90s Universal Century OVAs, Char's Counterattack, F91 and V-Gundam from the States, thinking that if Anime Limited did get back into Gundam it would probably be stuff like the promised 00 or Wing, and more modern UC stuff like...

What’s that? “Castlevania isn’t an anime!” Well, I’ll have you know… you’re right. But it’s being released by Anime Limited, and ticks a lot of the same boxes that our favourite subgenre does anyway, so… let’s take a look at this game adaptation’s first season! Continue reading...

Snap! Oh well, it was always really odd that they didn't have anything in place to stop people from using it...

My Hero Academia, the latest smash hit from the pages of Shonen Jump!, returns for a third season, and it’s safe to say that the episodes contained in this half-season may be the best so far… Continue reading...

Naruto’s main story is, slowly but surely, reaching its conclusion, but what’s this?! More filler?! Shocking! But is it filler that’s actually worth telling this time? Let’s find out… Continue reading...

I remember my first exposure to G Gundam was through the first Dynasty Warriors: Gundam game. I was so... so very confused, having only watched Wing and the first two UC series heading into the game...

MVM’s latest release, UQ Holder!, is a sequel to Negima! (a series that had quite the cult following a decade or two back) so why hasn’t UQ Holder! generated the same kind of interest? Well, manga-wise I can’t tell you, but the anime adaptation on the other hand… Continue reading...

One of my "favourites" was Renji in the original Japanese Bleach clearly saying "Howl" in English, yet the Japanese subtitle track still wrote "Roar" to match the US dubbing... He literally spoke English at me and you're telling me I understood it wrong?! :P

Yeah, I was going to say that thinking "Saiyajin" is correct really takes me back a decade or two, before people became aware that it literally translates to "person who is a Saiya", or as we'd write it, "Saiyan".

The Future Trunks arc comes to a swift close in Dragon Ball Super’s sixth part, and after it comes what can only be described as filler, even if it isn’t technically filling in time for any other reason than old habits, I guess. Is it good filler though? Well… Continue reading...

Naruto Shippuden’s 35th two-disc release is, to the surprise of literally no-one, almost entirely filler. Unlike the previous box set though, the single canon episode on this set is extremely significant. Can you bear thirteen filler episodes for the sake of one good one? Continue reading...

Well, the nearest HMV to me is in Northampton, so it seems I'm safe! ... If I ever take the bus into Northampton... which I rarely do...
