When I first got into anime some 20 years ago, it was mostly sci-fi/mecha stuff, but soon discovered stuff aimed at young women and girls, magical girl shows, fantasy stuff like Lodoss War. A lot of my all time favourites are in the mecha (robot) and sci-fi genre, with a some magical girl...

I have just received Funimation's horrifying "Speed Racer Collector's Edition" from Amazon.com. I wanted the Japanese versions of the original 1967 - 1968 "Mach Go Go Go" and the 1997 remake. However, Funimation had the brilliant idea of only releasing those versions in this utterly horrifying...

Moko-chan and Rabbi-kun, promotional mascots for Tamiya Plastic Model Co from the mid to late 1980's.

But they're also making money on streaming the show. The previous attempts to get the series into the west have lead me to believe that this is all we'll get in terms of physical home video release. However authoring all those discs for a measly 1,000 units seems nuts. I don't want to believe...

I was sure that Robert Woodhead from AnimEigo siad about 15 years ago that the licencors wanted to release the series as one giant box set, which was the main impediment for the series getting a release in the west. Unfortunately I can't find where he said that (maybe the old AnimeOnDVD.com...

From that well known conspiracy website, Wikipedia; And um, the World Zionist Organisation are a real organisation.

Uh huh.

Hey there! Did you go to the recent Madman Anime Festival in Perth? Only been to the Melbourne one last year.

This ain't bootlegging, that's straight up fraud. However I was bitten before on Amazon.com. A few years back I got what I thought was the Viz DVD of the Fatal Fury OVA from a secondhand seller. This was years after the disc had gone out of print and prices were increasing in the secondhand...

I, Tonya This film really, really says a lot of about the United States of America; in relation to classism, child abuse, domestic violence and the absolute myth that everyone has an equal chance to make it in that country. The film really brought back a lot of memories watching that ugly drama...

I think if you can already buy it online at a cheaper price including shipping, don't bother buying it over there. As for getting stuff home, I usually try to pack it all in my suitcase and not try to go over the maximum weight. On my first few trips I just sent the majority my stuff back via...

From Catstealers-zines; 90's Anime Girls. It's a fairly good collection of 90 full colour illustrations with mostly American fan art. The book did get banged up a bit due to the fact it was sent in a bubble mailer with no other protection to stop it from being bent. Not to be too critical of...

Most of the retail anime shops in Sydney and Melbourne paradoxically do not stock anime (i.e. DVDs and Blu-rays). Also most don't ship overseas. The items they do sell such as figures and merchandise, you can easily get much cheaper from Amazon.co.jp, AmiAmi or other Japanese online retailers...

With JB Hi-Fi, it really depends on the store. Some have a wide range of anime titles, some don't. I've also found that some shops don't get Madman titles in on the day of release. Some shops only get them on the shelf the following week. The discounts are far better than Sanity, that's for...

I usually just walk into retail stores as I live here, but JB Hi-Fi and Sanity do international. The Australian division of Amazon has also opened up recently (to much hype by the media, then much apathy by consumers). Never used the Australian division, not sure what they're like. I was going...

Assuming the Mind Game discs will be a dupe of the Kickstarter discs which had English, French and Spanish subtitles.

This going to be a big post as a lot of stuff came in. First up I got the Danger 5 box set from JB Hi Fi Fyshwick, which isn't a box set at all, just the two single DVD volumes in a cardboard sleeve; My massive order from the proxy service I use that's based in Okayama came in. I was meant to...

Eureka Seven Hi-Evolution 1 Second anime film in cinemas over here in as many months. This one is a compilation film, a genre I’m not too fond of. However it starts off really well with around 25 minutes of new animation depicting the battle known as the “Summer of Love” which was only hinted...

Actually that newspaper isn't sold in newsagents over here and I don't regularly visit their website. I was merely pointing out the faux outrage by conservatives on issues like this. The reality was there was no war on Easter and absolutely no evidence either the National Trust or Cadbury had in...
