I've got a notification for my pair of lamps (I had to check what I'd selected all those years ago to see if that was all). I just wish I had somewhere to display them....

Princess Jellyfish complete series: In two minds about this show. The characters were interesting, but the depiction of attractive people being rapacious amoral monsters, while the unattractive ones can be bought off with meat and sweets, got a bit wearing. Of course, this only applied to the...

One Piece episodes 9-17: Eight episodes to tell the story of Luffy's third crew member. I'm guessing they were commissioned for a lot of episodes from the start, as this could have been told in two episodes if it wasn't for all the intro's, previews, reviews, recaps, flashbacks, and extended...

Something tangible from the Dirty Pair kickstarter: As we mentioned in the last update, we’ve started shipping out available portions of your Backer Rewards. And a couple of updates about the Blu-ray production! Final Materials are in! Production is on our schedule but there is still work to...

Bought volumes 9-13 of Invaders of the Rokujyoma!? from Google Play, as they offered 10% off for more than two, and I'm really enjoying the series. I just wish I knew what a Rokujyoma was, as the word has yet to appear anywhere in the novels.

Very happy to see I could have Sgt. Frog Seasons 5-7 Collection by Christmas.

One Piece episodes 5-8:So, Luffy finally has a second crew member after eight episodes. I can see this is going to be stretched out. Still a fun watch and I must thank iPlayer for giving me the opportunity to see it before buying the discs.

Here's a special new bundle from Humble Bundle, for some very saucy books and games. As they describe it: A steamy collection of visual novels & more Lose yourself in stories of the succubi, dark witches, and knights of Winged Cloud’s Sakura franchise in this collection of adult-themed games...

My PC's gone funny, so I was forced to find alternate entertainment. Watched the first three episodes of One Piece on the BBC iPlayer. Quite enjoyed them. Still not sure if I can last the full 1,000+, but we shall see.

Akiba Maid War episodes 10-12: And so the violence continues. I'm not sure which I found more gross, the senseless shootings or the cutesy maid stuff. The ending theme was very reminiscent of the songs of Meiko Kaiji in Lady Snowblood and her other excellent movies.

Whoops. Laughing too hard to do a proper job, obviously. Here it is.

Just saw this article in the newspaper, and immediately thought of this scene from the end of episode 1 (?) of Heaven's Lost Property.

Akiba Maid Wars arrived today and I felt in the mood for a light-hearted romp through the maid cafes of Akihabara. I do wish I'd read more than the title ordering it, as it got very dark very quickly. I think the body count for the first episode was around 30 maids dead on the street. They try...

Just finished volume 6 of The Hidden Dungeon Only I Can Enter, which appears to be the last one written. Surprising, as it did get both a manga and anime adaptation, but then it was released around the time Covid broke the planet... It was a enjoyable and light-hearted read, apart from the...

Finally finished Sorcerous Stabber Orphen season 2: Happily, they got rid of most of the serious stuff and the first 80% of the series was just the main characters bitching about one another while wandering the land. I got confused by the episode when the trolls tried to go to the moon, as...

This is a better option that trying the show out by buying the hundreds of DVDs. I just hope I don't enjoy it too much. :)

Anyone (else) interested in The Dagger of Kamui Treasure Trove Edition. I've just gone for the basic BluRay as the postage charges are verging on the criminal.

Picked up manga of A.I. Love You 3&4 from a little bookshop for £4, so had to buy 1&2 from eBay for another £6ish. Now trying to decide whether I can justify buying the outstanding 30 volumes of Invaders Of The Rokujouma. I note the collection volumes seem to cost more than buying them...

HMV are having a big 50% off sale. Some good anime bargains. I picked up Princess Jellyfish (and a Marlene Dietrich boxset, as I saw Ute Lemper perform Remembering Marlene in Edinburgh last week).

The only thing in the sale that is tempting to me is Tonikawa (must have missed the EB while enjoying myself in Edinburgh). But with a AL November release date, I guess that means an extra wait of 6 months to a year?
