    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    Also a little confused where Amazon.jp are at in terms of this now. I think they've just rolled it into the 'Shipping and handling' fee. Here's 2 of my orders which are similar in price, one from 2018 where customs clearance fee was explicit and another from more recently where it was not...

    It is indeed the regular one, if I'd bought the official Yuru Camp one I think I'd struggle to bring myself to use it!

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Quick headsup for those of you who enjoyed the Gunbuster watch some time ago. They've finally got around to re-printing one of the better artbooks for both it and Diebuster (it's good too, I'll fight you!). It's out later this month, Amazon link here, but it's listed with all the usual...

    Crunchyroll Awards for the Anime of 2021 - How Did You Vote?

    I think fans tend to lose their goshdarn minds about anything that doesn't align with their viewpoint, part of the job. For example, I'm busy writing my letter of complaint that idaten deities isn't on any of these lists! I did have a really good time with both ODD TAXI and Sonny Boy though...

    Collecting US-Release Anime

    I like their website, makes me want to visit neopets and trade some pogs after visiting it.

    Collecting US-Release Anime

    Amazon.com do a global shipping thing that pre-pays fees (I think). United Publications is a UK site that seems to basically order wholesale from rightstuf and then ship to you. Rightstuf themselves ship overseas now making the above a little out of date. Stackry is a forwarder I've used if...

    3x3 Thread

    Whoops! Sorry! I'll add a list now! And what has Non Non Biyori ever done to you to not make your Easy Going List?!

    3x3 Thread

    I also had a really good time with Super Cub considering it seemed to have been originally pitched as an extended Honda advert. I should probably try and run another AUK best of 2021 thread again if there's not one already to get a feel for what everyone else liked.

    Really liking the candid nature of some of these picks!

    3x3 Thread

    It's 2022! And what better way to start it than re-evaluating tastes in anime using a thread from 2018! I just like the pretty picture format and the flexibility a 3x3 gives you, plus I can use it to build a watch list if I see stuff crop up on multiple peoples lists I've not seen yet... Using...

    Anime at the cinema

    Resurrecting this thread to say that I went to see Josee, the Tiger and the Fish at the cinema this evening and rather enjoyed it. Might have to do with the fact this was the first cinema trip in a while too!

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    If you're ordering a few blu-rays they'll probably box them up. I've never used the magazine trick myself, but I know of it, so I wouldn't know what to suggest, sorry! The few things I've recieved in jiffy bags (sometimes I get a box sometimes a bag for single blu-rays) from them have always...

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    They're both fine picks, personally I normally go with Amazon as they pre-pay the customs by default (though that might be an option now on cdjapan too, unsure). Basically Amazon will be faster but more expensive, but you know exactly what you're paying. Cdjapan will be cheaper, but you may get...

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    Thanks for checking! I may have picked up another variant in the meantime, and that plays fine, so seems I was just unlucky and got a mispress!

    Defective or Disappointing UK Anime Discs

    Since technically it's 'Anime' in a 'Disc' format (I might be stretching this definition a bit). Has anyone had any issues with their copy of Evangelion Finally? My pressing seems dire, large and frequent distortions (plays out as a hiss) on disc one. Record itself doesn't look particularly...

    Hey ho, been a while since I posted, or bought much recently! But happened upon this on a JP auction site and snagged it immediately. Felt the need to share.
