I completely agree! My experience with Kickstarter so far has mostly been when I've been attached to a comic book project that sourced funds that way. In that arena, it's really, really important to deliver on what you promise, and transparency is vital. I very seldom personally back a...

I've bolded the part I think is relevant here. Gotta say, I simply DO NOT believe at this point that this is actually the case when a distributor says it, and I'm going to be taking my usual outspoken stance on it where I see this kind of claim made from now on. To be completely candid, if a...

And there you go.

The worst part of this for me is that I'd been squirrelling money away here and there since it was announced Sentai had the license. Got it up to a whole £110! I was feeling good about that. And now... well, I guess I'll put that toward my tax bill instead.

Wow. Way to go, Sentai. What a disaster. And this from a distributor who went on record as saying 'we know this is important and we don't want to mess up the release.' Just a quick FYI, for the benefit of anybody who's ever argued with me on this forum over the points I've made regarding...

Cheers, phobos! (And even if this idea never gains traction, please know that your willingness to donate means the world!) Those reward ideas all make sense, and to be honest, they're already things that I've either considered or had suggested already. But it's good to have them aired in this...

Cheers for the post, D1tchd1gger! (And I'm glad I'm not the only one still up at a stupid hour!) There's some stuff here I've already looked into, which I figure is worth answering - especially if it furthers conversation: This is correct. However, a precedent has been set recently for...

Well, B*gger me! There's an update in this thread! And I wrote it! I just wanted to pop back in here and mention some potential developments regarding my old Youtube material and what could happen in the future. There's been some discussion over the last few days - mostly to do with the gaming...

The thing is, that's part of the point I'm making. A state of affairs like that is all well and good if less affluent folks have the option of picking up a more keenly priced edition - and maybe split into smaller chunks - later down the line. When the distributor tweets that this is the only...

Got it more or less in one. Although I have to say I'm not especially fussed about artbooks either. They make nice curios as far as I'm concerned, but very few of the ones I've seen have been the kind of thing I want to look at more than once or twice. Bigger concern: Just process for a moment...

Yyyyeeeah, as much as I'd like to pick it up, its a skip for me. The price, considering as well that there's material I couldn't care less for bundled in, plus its exclusivity AND Manga's confirmation on Twitter that this is the only Blu Ray edition currently planned... No sorry. I'm not...

Pff. Real women have purple hair, mass manufactured prosthetic bodies and know how to handle an assault rifle. I'm going now. If anyone needs me, I'll be licking the condensation from my windows and trying to decide if I can live like that for the next six weeks.

God no, it's awful. Nothing's affordable, everything gets taxed, you end up paying out vast sums of money for no immediately appreciable benefit, everything young people say to you sounds stupid, the music isn't as good as you remember, and you spend ages looking at everyone else your age...

It's really my age and circumstances talking here. Unwritten law of the universe: When you're over 40, EVERYTHING is overpriced. I'm also facing an unexpectedly MASSIVE tax bill this year (I lettered too many comics for my own good!) so anime has been punted off the bottom of the shopping list...

That Anchor Bay release ranks as one of the most tragic misfires in anime history. If this is brand new, re-authored HD collection, I'll be over the moon. It does need - and indeed deserve - a wider release, though. Anyway - resuming hawk-like watching stance!

WELL NOW, ISN'T THIS INTERESTING! I'll be watching for news on this like a hawk, rest assured. That's a nice package, but I'm not paying £100 for it.* (Anyone responding to that with a 'that's what she said' message is getting Judge-whacked!)

Just looking back over this thread, as the PS2 was a point of considerable discussion when I was gearing up to launch my gaming content on Youtube. I really, honestly do believe that the prices for some of these games are a bit high, all things considered. It's debatably justifiable when you...

I muchly applaud MVM opening up the DotW to include Blu Ray editions. But my wallet weeps. Gonna have to start up a kitty for these, I think. Did I mention I have to pay five times more tax this year than I ever have before in my life? Why, when I think of how much the cost of stuff has risen...

News of a new Boogiepop Phantom anime... bemuses me, frankly. Having watched the previous Madhouse animated series after folks nagged me to, I can't help but feel like there's an air of 'Emperor's New Clothes' about it. There are MASSIVE storytelling issues, loaded with heaps of stuff dolloped...

Jeeeezis Jellybellies! Is no thread safe from the Dandyisms now? (have I mentiond I've listened to 'Pig' off of Steve Vai's Sex & Religion album like a dozen times since that last post? And have I derailed this thread yet?) Actually, properly on topic, I really DO have a massive stack of anime...
