Reincarnated As The Piggy Duke,,, volume 1-2: It has some good points and some bad points, but I'll persevere. The author (or translator) has an annoying habit of re-introducing characters, as though the reader can't cope with remembering a regular character from a couple of pages ago.

So a double deal of the week from MVM, with the original Trigun Collection and the Seven Mortal Sins for £9.99 each (that's each collection and not £9.99 for each sin). I think they're both worthy of adding to my pending pile, although I remember I got some random uncased Trigun disks in the MVM...

The Demon Girl Next Door episodes 7-12: good fun but still silly story. Couple of big plot revelations in the last couple of episodes. Good thing it's only two weeks until series 2 is released (good marketing MVM, having this as your DOTW). It won't tax your brain, there are no big battles...

So Crunchyroll did send me a replacement unit, rather than just a new base. Don't really need a spare of the perspex, so if there is anyone out there who would like this new lamp (with a replacement base that doesn't have a remote sensor, but you could always buy one of those on eBay for a...

Certainly did. Big epic battle as the beginning and another as the finale. Although my favourite scene was one of the "deleted" ones, involving Gabiru and a wyvern.

That Time I Got..... Scarlet Bond, the Movie: it was entertaining, but I didn't really feel it advanced the story much. Bluey season 3 complete: Shed a tear or two at the beautiful little tales of the Heeler family. Made me feel a little homesick, too. The Demon Girl Next Door episodes 1-6...

One of my lamps stopped working after about 15 minutes running time. I contacted CR, expecting them to just refund me £5 and tell me to pick up a new base off eBay. Instead they are sending me a new lamp. So I think I will have a spare Yuri perspex by the end of the week. I certainly can't...

Are you planning on getting the public in for viewing, or is all this just for your own entertainment? :)

Thanks. I shall hold off on my order. It's not like I'm lacking for viewing material. Just received a six DVD set of the Carol Burnett Show and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond.

This week's Deal of the Week is The Demon Girl Next Door.

There's an article in today's Financial Times about anime! How Japanese anime took over the world by Leo Lewis. I'd paste some copy, but they can be very litigious about that sort of thing.

Currently have The Apothecary Diaries and The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter in my eBay basket, trying to decide whether to stick with the Malaysian versions or wait for them to get a legit release in the UK/US. Anyone know if Crunchyroll has given up on physical releases yet, leaving the...

So tempting. Just checked and it's currently £18.47 on Amazon. Maybe I can splurge for Christmas. :)

One Piece episodes 31-44: I thought we'd be just picking up Nami and moving on to finding more crew members (they really need to find a doctor/healer soon). Instead, we get 14 episodes telling Nami's backstory and resolving all the trauma caused by those fishmen. Will all the characters have a...

I picked up That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond from Rarewaves but needed something cheap to scrape over £20 and get the 10% discount. Chose Shame of the Jungle, which I last saw as a teenager at a video night at a friends place …. on VHS. I'm not expecting great...

Got this email (it's still Wednesday the 25th): Your shipment from SHIPPING DEPARTMENT is out for delivery today. Scheduled delivery date Thursday, 26/09/2024 Estimated between 09:10 and 13:10 The lamps arrived about ten minutes after the email. Now I need 3 AA batteries for each lamp if I...

One Piece episodes 18-30: so, one standalone episode, and then 11 episodes (including a flashback) to obtain a cook for the ship. There are two more episodes to finish this particular arc, involving Nami and some fishmen (and their fishwives?). So many chefs were working on that small floating...

Now up to volume 8.5 of Invaders of the Rokujouma!? which, confusingly, comes before volume 8 (7.5 and 8.5 are a story set in another time and place, where Koutarou becomes a legend). Really enjoying this series. The anime only went up to somewhere round volume 6-7, so this is all new territory.

Just received this (hilarious) email from Crunchyroll: We wanted to say thank you for your recent order from the Crunchyroll Store. Thank you for backing the Dirty Pair (1985) remaster project on Kickstarter. We are pleased to inform you that the following items you ordered as part of this...

Are the two Vampire Princess Miyu OVA's worth buying? I've been considering picking them up for ages...
