Some of the titles off the top of my head I really enjoyed; And Yet This Town Moves Hilarious series about a high schooler named Hotori Arashiyama who works in a poor excuse for a maid café (run by an old lady who doesn't really know what a maid café is) in small town. Hotori is an absolute...

Holy moly, this is pretty darn close to the real thing.

I sort of cynically believe Sunrise deliberately did this to avoid any parallel imports (Japanese anime video companies seem to tie themselves into knots about this stuff). The SD-BD version isn't all that great either. They've stuffed up the black levels and the old DVD release looks better.

The UK anime industry were the first English speaking anime industry bubble to burst. It was a bit hard knowing what was going on from another country at the time (with limited access to internet and only Anime UK/Anime FX magazine as a news source). I know that Manga Entertainment was...

Western Connection just seemed to be blindly licening titles, mostly Toho stuff. Seriously, the weirdest anime video company of the lot during that period. Dancougar was the God Bless Dancougar OVA, which still hasn't got an English release anywhere else in the world. It got released about a...

Some from my collection that you might not know about; So the first lot all pretty much all of Western Connection's output from 1993 to 1995 which wasn't subsequently released in the US on VHS or DVD, the second lot are oddball titles from Kiseki and the third one is dubbed anime aimed at...

I heard the Meanies new album on a digital radio station I listen to a lot recently and decided to go though the releases on their old (and sadly defunct) independent label they were on in the 1990's, Au Go Go. Man, I really wish I had ventured down to Melbourne in the 1990's so I could go to...

Thanks for that. Manga's DVD had no extras of any note other than bog standard trailers and weblinks they put on every other DVD they released in that era. Haven't watched it for a while, but most of their DVD's video was over saturated, so it'd be nice to upgrade it.

Got a number of CD albums recently, most which were a little hard to get due to COVID-19 shipping restrictions and abysmal independent record label distribution. The Ray album finally came out. Ray are an underground idol group who sing over backing tracks by Japanese shoegaze bands such as...

I may have missed this but I'll ask anyway; with Rayearth, are the discs dupes of Discotek's release or are they authoring them themselves? The Discotek blu-rays are pretty much flawless, However I really want upgrade my US Manga Entertainment DVD of the OVA, plus the booklet and boxes look...

As the remaining members of the band have finally put their music on Spotify, I have been going thorough the back catalogue of TISM. It's really, really hard to explain what TISM were about to a non-Australian audience. The best I can do is; imagine a very sarcastic, satirical Australian version...

I had no idea that this was the case. The forthcoming lower price reissue of the BD from Bandai Visual seems to have the original audio (plus English subtitles).

This is what baffles me. I could understand if the production committee yanked the licence from underneath them, but those in charge of licencing titles for Funimation didn't even do a modicum of research as to what the show (and original manga) was about? The manga covers and promotional...

K-ON!! (2010) Space Battleship Yamato 2199 (2012 - 2013) Code Geass: Akito the Exiled (2012 - 2016) Shirobako (2014 - 2015) Yurikuma Arashi (2015) My Love Story!! (2015) Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin (2015 - 2018) Flip Flappers (2016) In This Corner of the World (2016) Penguin Highway (2018)...

I don't quite think it's a 10 out of 10, but it is a really fun film.

Looks like the copyright belongs to the author Masahiro Shibata, his publisher Hakusensha, Inc and Nippon Television Music Co., Ltd. Mushi Pro is also listed in the copyright on the back of my VHS. The Japanese wiki also lists Walkers Company, which went bankrupt at the end of episode four. Even...

Totally normal anime based off a shoujo manga.

Thanks for that, but I do prefer to buy the CDs to support independent artists like this one. I have found the disc on Tower's website, but they don't ship overseas anymore (I think...) and I'm trying not to use a proxy, but maybe will have to resort to using one. I'll be over there in late...

My favourite alt idol group ・・・・・・・・・ (pronounced “Dots”) called it quits in May this year, but the management company behind them are promoting a new group called Ray who also perform ・・・・・・・・・ songs. I think Ray is most likely the same girls from ・・・・・・・・・, just unmasked. Ray seems more inline...

The Japanese BD box is a new 4K scan of the original 35mm film.
