Hello, folks! I decided I'd make a clean break and start a new thread here to announce (or re-announce - Youtube and certain other parties have made this far from easy) that my gaming channel venture has finally gone live as of... uhh... five minutes ago, I guess. I've done a straight...

Physical media formats come and go, alas. But I think, even if DVD is no longer support with active releases, it's not going to die. At least, not in the same sense that other media become obsolete. I've got a feeling that we'll still have means to at least watch our DVDs and enjoy things that...

Missed it on Zavvi. Just bought it for a penny less on Amazon. Shockingly, this is the first anime I've bought since the xmas sales!

Not really a karaoke night - it was more a 'bring your gear and do what you want' open mic kind of thing. Truthfully, I'd gone to this a few times in the same venue, even played a few times, and it was usually... disappointing. These things, in my experience are usually ego driven affairs where...

What an absolutely excellent review! This really captures a lot of why I personally love Wolf's Rain. And I was pleased to read something that acknowledges the show's almighty recap episode stuff-up without losing sight of the fact that it's still a complete story. Glad you gave props to the...

Mad work schedule plus a stinking head cold has put me a bit behind with AUKN goings on. Quick post to repond directly to Ayase: No, it isn't. What I'd like to see are day one standard editions released alongside collector's editions. At present, the market for physical media seems skewed...

Superfast update, folks: There's been some MAJOR - and I mean MAJOR upheaval and rug-pulling going on behind the scenes lately. But I can share something for folks who might be interested to see more regular updates to do with video bits from yours truly. There's a big, shiny new Twitter pge...

My season 1 box set quite prominently display the words 'compleste 1st GIG Boxset' on it. Make of that what you will. Also: I hope folk are paying attention here. On either side of the distributor / consumer divide. From this news, we can infer that 'no other editions planned at this time' when...

Pretty sure it wasn't for 'no reason.' The guy is a self-admitted sexual predator, a bully, a fascist, a racist... really, if you're going to take issue with people taking issue with somebody who stands for these things, don't expect NOT to get called out. Frankly, I couldn't care less what you...

Do the cool kids still say 'quoted for truth?' Because I'm quoting this for truth. When folks post these kinds of sentiments, whether under reviews of anime (and I've had this myself on Youtube) or social media posts from public figures, they really smack of 'shut up and dance, monkey!' It's...

I'm just going to take a moment from sipping my delicious frapuccino to post here and say once again what a thoroughly good sport Andrew Partridge is. Always great to see such clear communication from Anime Limited peeps.

Just realised I missed Captaaainuniverse's post about Heavenly Sword: Worth bringing up again, as I managed to leave the house long enough for a trip to CEX. It was a 'doing stuff for videos' day today, which included spending a bit of cash on new games. And I bought a new (well, new used)...

This is where I stand on it. Always makes me chuckle when people trot out mealy-mouthed criticisms of OO. Fact is, that show is a blast from start to finish, isn't saddled down with bloated padding like a lot of older Gundam shows, and the mecha designs are so gorgeous they compromise my...

This is how I'm expecting things to pan out as well. But in the meantime, what changes could be wrought on the landscape? These things don't remain static. So we might well be headed toard a drought of physical media releases or licenses, as CaptaaainUniverse says. Or, alternatively, we might...

I've got a horrible feeling this points the way towards what the UK anime industry will be like for the foreseeable. It seems to me that we've got some major players dipping their toes in the market over here at the moment who are going to bring big corporation level thinking to what's always...

Thanks, Phobos - that's useful info. I've since determined that the weird audio issues are squarely down to my laptop. In fact, boosting the volume slightly on a re-rendered video helps to alleviate it. What I'm primarily concerned with now is making sure the audio volume level is consistent...

Okay guys - things are ramping up over here, but before I start committing to final renders of new video, I could use some specific feedback. Audio quality has been a bit of a sticking point for me just lately. I recently made the transition from using a Blue Yeti USB mic to a hands-free...

Who wants a sneak peek at the direction things are going in? Here's one - subject to a few tweaks, most likely, as I'm not AT ALL happy with how audio is being transcoded by Youtube. It sounds lovely on my final rendered videos but horribly wooly on Youtube itself. Watch and be overawed by...

Perhaps I speak a little too unguardedly with my turn of phrase towards the end of that last post. Perhaps, instead of 'sheltering high profile abusers of children' I should have posted 'doing nothing to expose high profile abusers of children in their employ.' Personally, I see very little...

This would be the same BBC that has Tory beneficiaries at the top of its heirarchy, routinely broadcasts misleading news items with a political bias so painfully obvious it's comical, and has permitted innumerable irresponsible and unbalanced documentary style reports on minority groups and...
