    UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

    Yeah ebay is full of bootlegs for both blu-ray and dvd and always has been. Back in the day the perfect collections were great bootlegs for those of us who couldn't afford, or had the space for, the 4 episode dvd collections of old. Nowadays the quality is utterly dire and mostly use a very old...

    If AL can get uk bluray rights for Evangelion I suspect the ultimate edition will either include a Rei or a full on life size eva unit. Of course the release of a UK eva series bluray is most likely the event that triggers the third/fourth impact.

    My bad, sorry! That's a bit of a relief really given the calibur of some titles.

    @BlackCondor93 I'm the same but the fact they were stock that sold poorly intrigued me as those are the ones that normally sky rocket in value/desirability in the future; especially if they can't even shift stock/get stock returns. Unfortunately I owned most of the ones that I wanted...

    It's the danger with these mystery boxes. You have no idea what you're getting and if it's a load of stuff you don't want or have already then you may as well sell it on to recuperate some of that money. (I don't usually buy them.) I can say that with this box you wouldn't really have made a...

    Check out cex. If a lot of us sold the disks to them then they'll probably drop a lot in price. I sold all but Fireworks & the Your Name steelbook. Traded them for the complete dragonball z movie boxset ^_^

    Just Fireworks for me & the Steelbook of Your Name as keepers. The rest will go towards more anime from cex that I want (£55 in credit)

    This eve I pulled out time of eve to watch with my fiancee and having not seen it before, looked at the back to read what it's about with my fiancée but the text on the back is an utter waste of time and space O_o. There's not a single line explaining what it's all about just a load of "this...

    That's good :) . I was genuinely interested as it's fairly average but watchable & I've always wondered how exposure on Netflix affects sales (manga uk didn't seem to have much luck).

    Only 4 episodes. I'd have bought the whole thing for that price but when the length is the same as a movie (less if that includes intro/outros) the price seems pretty standard for a collectors edition of an AL film release? I wonder how this will sell.

    Is it wrong to keep track of all the mother's day presents you have to buy on behalf of your children & then give them the bill when they're old enough to work?

    Social Issues in Japan

    I do think that a lot of Japan's portrayals of sexuality & deviances is very much a cultural in-joke poking fun at how outwardly repressed their society is. Japanese media seems to deal in extremes (nose bleed erections, constant comedy fondling, rape etc) rebelling against the outward...

    Social Issues in Japan

    Persona 4 had Kanji. Ok his dungeon seemed a bit too played for laughs but then the nature of them is to show an aspect of the individual's personality taken to the extreme and it was never implicitly stated that he was bisexual or homosexual but he wasn't a typical charicature for it.

    Social Issues in Japan

    I don't think we should hold other countries to our standard. I think it's important to differentiate between light-hearted piss taking and those with a more insidious nature. It's ironic that the sheeple trend nowadays is to be actively offended by as much as possible lest you be branded...

    Social Issues in Japan

    Homosexuality is a regular trope in Japanese games and (almost?) always a negative stereotype. Most commonly portrayed as the hyper muscular & nearly nude guy with the overtly feminine expressions or creepy perverts that prey on you (most recent game I have played that portrays the latter is...

    The way the lgbt+-=xyz#@*etc movement is going I'm sure that will be a thing one day (night).... I suspect it will be Greek themed!

    When money really counts, you try to get the most for it & you feel you're supporting an industry you're passionate about its always a kick in the teeth when they release yet another pricey special edition with yet again remastered video.
