If it works for you then that's great! A lot of people I know irl act like I'm some sort of elitest for not thinking it's the most amazing show ever though, and that just confuses me to no end. My position on the show despite what I just said is that it is good, but has pacing issues which are...

I've been noticing through ANN that Sentai have been licensing a hell of a lot of this season's biggest shows and putting them on Anime Strike. I know that Strike is exclusive to the US, but up until now, Strike shows have just been appearing regularly on Amazon Prime in the UK like they did...

Don't worry, you aren't alone on this one. I'll admit for the first few episodes I was aboard the AoT hype train as much as anyone else, but I got sick of it for the exact same things you list here. I am so glad I'm not the only one who couldn't stand the recaps! Nobody I have ever talked to...

Oh damn, it appears I was going off old information there. And now I need to import that. I love Discotek.

The reason there is no 5cm Blu-ray in English speaking territories is that they produced a Blu-ray in Japan called the "5cm Per Second Global Edition" which has several languages, including both the English dub and English subs. It is in a normal amaray case, but it has a pink box instead of...

First Eureka Seven movie confirmed to be coming to cinemas in nine countries including the UK in Autumn. 1st Film in Eureka Seven Trilogy Opens in 9 Countries Including U.S. This Fall (Updated)

@anime_andrew Just saw this article on ANN about the Eureka Seven movies. It says that the first film is coming to cinemas in nine countries including the UK, USA, Australia, and New Zealand in Autumn. Madman has already said they are doing the Australia and New Zealand showings, with Funimation...

I don't personally buy in to the whole whitewashing notion, at least not in this case. She's supposed to be a cyborg with no real attachment to her artificial body, so focussing on her ethinicity is therefore in my opinion, entirely missing the point of the franchise as a whole. Even Mamoru...

Saw it last night, and Batou's eyes were about the only stylistic choice I wasn't too hot on, but the movie as a whole was visually stunning and well cast. I think the movie was about as good as it could possibly have been. The story was obviously altered to appeal to a more mainstream audience...

I'd regretfully second that my experience with Anime Ltd kickstarters hasn't been the best, but for the Mai Mai Miracle one instead (everyone who backed it knows what I'm talking about). They got to the stretch goal for a dub (which I didn't care about and didn't actually watch, though I know a...

It definitely looks like my type of film, and supporting 4c directly is mighty tempting. I am a little hesitant on the price though since it would be a blind punt for me (haven't seen the film), and for £38 I can't help feeling I could get an entire series of something for that price. Then again...

Here's mine for this month. ***Redeemed***

Does anyone here know a decent place to buy used manga? I tend to gravitate towards used stuff unless it's a brand new release, but I can't think of anywhere comparable to the Amazon marketplace for it (Ebay can work, but they're hit and miss on what's in stock). I'd prefer not to support Amazon...

I've noticed that Germany, France, and Italy get some really amazing stuff that no English speaking territories get access to. In some cases they get things that are actively blocked from release in English territories. I get slightly jealous when I search something on Amazon or the like, and a...

Poor Satania, all she wants is a bit of melon bread. :D

Hey as l0ng as it doesn't take two years I'm all for it. ;) As nice as my Mai Mai Miracle set is (it is rather nice), I'm not sure if it was *wait two years* nice. I actually forgot about it almost completely, and was only reminded by the sporadic updates which would very occasionally hit my...

I don't actually think they even have any simulcasts anymore. I could be wrong, but I think they've completely given up on that front too.

Oh I will almost always get AL CEs from their webshop these days. The combination of early bird deals and the money going out instantly for a preorder when I have it rather than on release day makes it a no brainer to me. Plus they have proven that they go the distance when something is wrong...

I've found that they always put extra packaging in the steelbook editions, but frequently fail to do so with (even more expensive) art boxes. As you say though, sometimes their prices are hard to resist. I do always feel like I'm taking more of a risk when I order an AL CE there though. I have...

I don't like these exclusivity deals (unless it's the Anime ltd webshop of course), especially when it's always Zavvi and they're known to not have the very best track record with using decent packaging to prevent damage. They do have good prices though, it's just sometimes a dice roll depending...
