    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    How do you mean harder to pick? As in increased prices, or too much to choose from? Daisuki always has the benefit of being the 'official' JP-backed option, but I can't imagine their numbers have got anything on CR's - hence why a lot of shows like Gundam IBO are being delay-cast on CR too to...

    Upcoming UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Artwork

    They're a decent way to get the overall plot of each season of GITs - but obviously cut out the 'stand alone' episodes, which are arguably the better element of GITS SAC.

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    It does make me wonder if we'll see a future where Manga just stops bothering with releases that aren't guaranteed strong sellers like Digimon / Pokemon / Yu-Gi-Oh etc. With the Crunchy / Funi deal in place, all Sentai is going to have access to are the b-list dregs of each season, and by proxy...

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Random question but does anyone know if there's a price-tracker site for Kindle e-book prices like there is camelcamel or Blu-Ray.com for Blu-Rays/DVDs?

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    For sure - if I was still as big a fan of Star Trek as I used to be I'd definitely grab them. I just find it crazy that you can buy all the seasons now for the price of what just one of the seasons cost a few years ago. It kind of shows how quickly western TV series fall in price now compared to...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Speaking of the Star Trek remasters, I kind of found it pretty frustrating that they charged so outrageously much for them when they released them by-series - only to then complain prominently that no-one bought them, and then promptly reduce the price to an insanely cheap 'all seasons' box set...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Surely the ideal solution would just be to release physically day-and-date with the Japanese edition (if possible?) at the same price to prevent reverse-imports (I'm saying this more in the case that the JP edition ends up having English subs). And hopefully a VOD solution sooner if possible to...

    Upcoming UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Artwork

    I have to admit I'm not a fan of how these look - the Individual Eleven / Laughing Mans already looked cheap to begin with (it's basically the same design as the old ones) - although I guess the line-art of the Major is kinda cool. I think it's just the font / big 'Motion picture' sticker that...

    UK Anime Release Schedule -Updated-

    Wouldn't surprise me if this has been cancelled / massively delayed as from what I've heard Season 1 sold very poorly.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I have to admit I'd be totally up for a release of Excel Saga - it was one of the first ADV releases I got into and I still rate it as one of the funniest anime comedies out there.

    List of Light Novels Released in English

    Yeah I have to admit it's a pain Vertical don't release Monogatari digitally - especially as the e-book is available there! I tried out audible just to listen to the e-book there, and it was a pretty great version of it, I have to admit.

    Anime in UK Retail (HMV discussion)

    I remember in the period around when HMV went into its administration period, they had tonnes of anime on sale constantly in terms of stock clearance as they moved to get rid of excess stock and close down certain stores. You could frequently pick up loads of random Manga releases for less than...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I have to admit, given the success of this (even though it's a special case) - I do hope we get more of what America's getting in terms of anime movie screenings too. Ie. the Sword Art Online film.

    Your viewing journal

    I have to admit, while I'm still really enjoying Yuri On Ice - I think it owes it to itself to hopefully be more than just the same rinse and repeat formula every episode it's been doing lately. I get that it's a sports show to some degree, but while the skating animation is strong, it's...

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

    Yup I really want to at least watch Akito the Exiled first - as I've heard it has some surprisingly decent CG work in it.

    Makoto Shinkai's Your Name (Kimi no Na wa.) popped up on UK Theatrical Screens for 24th November

    Same here - no ads, and lots of late arrivals - which I have to admit was quite amusing. The cinema was absolutely packed though - every seat full.

    The Official HdE Does Anime Thread

    I think one video a week is fine, as long as you stick to it - the regularity helps build familiarity and keeps people coming back. They know there's something to look forward to. Even some of the biggest channels only really do one 'proper' video a week - and if they do more than that, it's one...

    The Official HdE Does Anime Thread

    Personally I'd definitely be keen for you to keep it going - I watch a lot of different anime YouTube channels and the quality of your videos is pretty high - definitely higher than the number of views on them would suggest. I think the trouble is partly because that initial subscriber / view...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    I have to admit the amount of grinding you have to do in the SAO games really put me off them - that and the long load times between areas - although not sure if that's something that's persisted into the more recent ones.
