@orgun and I are doing Mecha March content on both Retro Mecha Podcast and my blog Animehead's Retroworld. Also @orgun is doing a mecha episode on Retro Anime Podcast, we're releasing it all under the banner of "Retro Mecha Anime World" RMP episode was released last week, my blog post is...

I'm cheating as this came on Saturday :) but what the hell. Here's a recent manga/book haul and one blu ray.

I love coming on here and seeing the wealth of purchases from you all. It makes me think actually I'm not that bad with my spending on anime/manga stuff :) Also side note: I really wish Funimation and other blu ray companies would get rid of that blue banner that says Blu ray/DVD and digital at...

Has anyone picked up this book? Berserk: Written in Darkness by Quentin Boeton. It's a recent release, just came out in December in English (the author is French so it's been out there for a while in its native language). I got it on Saturday. It's an exploration of the themes and mythology of...

Got a nice set of deliveries yesterday. One from Amazon (Dragon Ball Super) and all the others from Rightstuf.

Oooh Yakuza: Like A Dragon. Yakuza/Ryu Ga Gotoku is definitely my favourite ongoing game series. I've been into it since the PS2 days when I randomly found the original in a bargain bin in PC world (of all places!) and decided to give it a try. The rest is history. I've bought every single game...

Yeah i can't see Discotek doing a remaster of a long series like Harlock but hopefully a Japanese release will emerge and they can use that. Original Yamato and The Cockpit are fantastic. Would be great to see those in HD.

HWR: I got the Batman Beyond set a while back. Hope you enjoy it. I think it's a solid series and a really good accompanying piece/bookend to Batman The Animated series to boot. It felt like quite an ambitious show much like Batman TAS was in the 90's. I know what you mean about the Funko pop, I...

The Doraemon episode was absolutely brilliant! Those Toyota commercials with Jean Reno are an amazing find Prof. Hadn't heard about these before.

Finished re-watching Samurai 7 the other day. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Really great characters who show a lot of development and growth, cool setting and and a truly reprehensible villain who you just can't wait to see get his just desserts. It has one of those finales where you've grown very...

Samurai 7 Episodes 6 - 17 Still really enjoying my rewatch of this. Fell off with watching it a little this past week due to some pretty crappy events happening in my life lately but it is a very solid show. The evolution of the characters throughout is really good and its paced really well...

I have no idea what "White line doom" is either. Some kind of packaging/printing defect?

Samurai 7 Episodes 1-5 Orgun pointed out this was on Netflix and I was in the mood to revisit it. I remember quite liking it at the time but it might even be better than I gave it credit for. I love Kurosawa's original film and though this is a totally different beast in many ways it does...

I think the deal's good (particularly since you get multiple versions of the movies and commentaries and a huge wedge of special features plus the entire Dark Horse comic mini-series and a book of reproduced articles), However I can see what Aaron means, it's probably not for someone who likes...

Going to have to get round to posting some pics of mine at some point but it'll be a lot of work. Although I have most of it in one room there are little bits strewn all over the house! :)

Finally! Gamera is here! Didn't pay much attention to the size in people's pics. This thing is almost as big as Gamera himself! :) I was half expecting the Dark Horse comics and the booklet to be little mini-replicas but getting a full size hardback comic collection and essay/articles book was a...

Ah so many people have the Gamera collection already! Why must I suffer so? Mine is taking its sweet time :(

Hi everyone. Haven't been keeping up with the blog as well as I'd like but here's a post that might hopefully be of interest to some of you (Particularly the older users here). As the title suggests it's about my reflections on being a 40 year old anime fan! If anyone has anything to say about...

CosmIc Devil Daikengo 11 - 26 (End) Gungrave 9 - 26 (End) Hoping to record in a few weeks for Daikengo on Retro Mecha Podcast so anyone who cares to hear our views on that can listen when the ep is out :) Gungrave is still a lot of fun after all these years and the characters are great. The...

Primark are doing Gundam tees? I'd heard about Dragonball and One Punch Man (never thought I'd see one punch man mentioned on a regional news report but I did last year. There was a woman complaining about Primark selling them because her son died from injuries resulting from a single punch and...
