My FMA Ultimate Edition arrived today too - I can't believe how heavy it is! A quick comment - mine doesn't seem to line up quite right either - though I'm not sure if that's due to the shape or the magnets not working properly? When I push the two halves together, there doesn't seem to be any...

From what I can recall - World Trigger was selling about the same as Bleach was per volume recently. So about average for a Shonen Jump series - but not blockbuster figures either. There's been a lot of talk about WSJ recently because of the number of series that have left the magazine...

Speaking of LOTGH - whatever happened to Sentai releasing the anime? Feels like that was announced ages ago.

A shame about the author - although to be honest, I wouldn't have been surprised if World Trigger had been axed soon anyway. Imo it's been pretty poor recently, and has been ranking relatively lowly too.

Yeah, I hope the LOTGH delays aren't down to poor sales - but imagine they might be. A shame, as it's one of the better translations out there. Impressive that J Novel club are picking up so much recently. I'll be waiting til the collected editions to grab them.

I have to admit I didn't overly enjoy Fujiko Mine - I can see why people like it, but I watched it straight after the in my eyes far superior recent Lupin (the Italian one) and the tone change came as a weird shock - going from the old-school comedy feel to Fujiko Mine which is far darker and...

Have you ever seen the Tatami Galaxy Irish fandub? It's surprisingly good >

Does anyone know if the deliveries are trackable?

One of the joys of GITS is that as both a story and a collection of different mediums, it offers many things to many people. Different incarnations of it play up different aspects - and you can take and choose which parts of it you find most interesting. Is it a straight up techno thriller? A...

It's the way anime fandom is these days, everything is about 'newness' and being as up to the minute as possible with what's coming out. It's almost at the point now where stuff that isn't out yet is more hyped than what's actually running right now. Attack on Titan season 2 is already on more...

Bleach Hell Verse (the 4th Bleach movie) is going for £5.99 on Blu-ray on Amazon at the moment >...

Yeah, the anime finishes neatly at the end of the first major arc - and after a brief interlude, the next big arc starts up (which hasn't been animated yet) - imo it's this arc where things start getting really good and the major villains start getting introduced.

I've been totally turned off the whole concept of 'coffee' or 'drinks' as some kind of dating lubricant - mainly just because it seems to be the go-to line for men in the Metro's 'spotted on the tube' column, which freaks me the hell out - as if the nation's public transport is some kind of...

From what I've heard the anime is better paced as it manages to cram 70+ chapters into 26 eps - so a pretty brisk pace compared to stuff like One Piece where it's 1 chapter = 1 episode.

Yeah - Seven Deadly Sins seriously needs a physical release - as not everyone has Netflix. I finished powering through the manga version this weekend - and I have mixed feelings about it. The author is an incredibly talented artist - far above and beyond many other Shonen series running at the...

Also, it's been shown that the Ghibli brand has far less effect when Miyazaki isn't top of the billing. I kind of imagine a more likely future is a lot of top Ghibli talent seeping out to work for other studios / projects like we've already seen with Your Name.

Yeah, the pacifist angle in Howl's Moving Castle is probably my biggest problem with it - but ironically it's probably my favourite Ghibli movie outside of the obvious trio of Spirited Away, Totoro and Princess Mononoke. I think the thing I like about Howl's Moving Castle is its always seemed to...

I had more disposable income back then - and let's be realistic too, Anime Ltd's pricing isn't quite up there with AoA (yet) - so it was relatively easy for me to do. I had to scale back recently though due to less money available, Anime Ltd releasing more stuff, and some of it not being as much...

Well the sale will give me a good excuse to use the coupon from the FMA order. Up to the start of this year I had every single thing Anime Ltd had ever released, so wasn't really able to take advantage of the year. But there are a few I've passed on this year, so will be interesting to see what...

Have seen Ten Count pop up in the NYT Top 10 a number of times now - what's the basic premise in a nutshell? Am curious if it's worth checking out.
