The first rebirth film was released by Anime ltd? If I look at my shelf, the Eva section is a complete mashup of a digipak, a basic Amaray, a blue box, and it looks like now continuing the trend with a steelbook… So yes; a full set would have been good. I was rather surprised there wasn’t some...

Perhaps they decided it would be a bit of a giggle to use the promo images to do something similar down under: announce for November, cancel completely in October.

I think I’d be wary of any multiple-part anime release these days. From a customer point of view: a) What’s the point? I’m going to have to wait for the rest of the release once I start watching it... b) Takes up more space for pretty much no reason. Do we get a bigger outer box to put the...

I assume (hope) the revised disc will have a different serial or other identification mark, so would ask that someone getting an ‘old’ one replaced make a note of that detail here?

Perhaps it’s remastered with updated extras? Nah. Who am I kidding?

And just in case my previous post seems a bit critical (as not being ‘up my alley’ either); it proved to be quite lightheartedly enjoyable, even if at face value it is just an exercise in drawing boobs. Also somewhat uniquely, there are absolutely zero extras. And that’s if I generously...

I‘m not particularly a fan of anime that features inflatables doing inexplicable ‘boings’, but I’ve also ordered, had it delivered, and watched. “contains fanservice”? More like the entire thing is fanservice, albeit interspaced with scenes leading up to each successive set, while contributing...

Ouch. The per-item charge was already a disincentive for online media purchases. An extra pound means you may as well drive to the store with stock. Or simply look elsewhere in the first place.

Would not the better question be ‘do you want it?’. And then ‘what toy?’ in order to marvel at $500+ Gundam. Hopefully then also a video or picture of the doorstep arrival of an executive in a business suit fresh off the plane to present a briefcase in exaggerated mafia-style.

I’m just making sure there isn’t a ‘proper’ version that I’m missing somewhere. If it’s the only version, then that’ll do. Not so much a fan of the re-case ’fun’. Mainly because it doesn’t solve what for me is the deficiency of having such a barebones release in the first place. I could...

Hmm. I had just dismissed this as being S1 part 2 earlier. That’s one of the side effects of this split-season absurdity. Of course, it doesn’t help that sometimes they can’t decide if it‘s a ’season’ or ‘part’… Any CE version of this? (to go with the existing)

I got the same email. It‘s basically the same EB prices for the series and vinyl, while the other two (JJK zero) titles on the linked page aren’t discounted at all. Missed the EBs? Here you go. Otherwise…

They always require at least two emails to do anything. I normally just give them a week or two then repeat the email (and again if needed). When they actually look at your email; they respond quite quickly (“yes; we’ve received it, and have just shipped out the replacement”) But you do need to...

The US $90 srp is already way more than the UK pricing was (if I simplify accommodating taxes as at least a 1:1 $:£ conversion). It‘s currently looking like the ‘two parts at £50 each’ prediction is on track…

I’m already wondering why I don‘t just import JP everything, if I end up with better discs, packaging, boxes, extras… Worst case; I add a subtitle track to a copy on a USB drive, or burn companion BRs. If no sub exists; camera translate.

Well, that’s me bawling my eyes out again as usual I guess. Seems like the good stuff tends to be tragedies. And once you reach the end, you search for any sequel or second season and find at most an OVA that doesn’t (and shouldn’t) make things better. And then there’s the realisation that it’s...

Or (according to their email) ‘on sale’ at AllTheAnime.com for £54.99. I guess the 10% membership discount takes it down to £49.50, so you could say it’s not more expensive than Zavvi etc. I don’t know if that means AOL is an outright bargain…

I’m used to moderately durable boxes from AL (when not the carrier branded ones), so I’d immediately say that appears noticeably flimsier than expected. I don’t however tend to see multiple layers of bubble wrap; just one sheet for each bunch of items. Dead space tends to be filled with air...

That doesn’t completely explain. I’m interpreting the reply as being that being that an order would include two individually shrink wrapped items; the disc box, and the book (dropped into a parcel individually). Without that reply (or even still with); they could be boxed together (even in a...

Both the E7 and WR sets came with a rolled poster in the box as well. I‘m not a particular fan of the mini-posters, but if it turns out to be the same (outer) box, then that’s even more wasted space. Indont see any other way of packing an A4 book in though*. *could really annoy people by...
