    Couldn't resist the latest DOTW from MVM. I'm sure I'll enjoy O Maidens in Your Savage Season.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I've had nothing since Christmas. I emailed them two months ago and they swore I was back on the mailing list and, in my last purchase from them last month, I made sure to tick the boxes to receive marketing emails. Nothing seems to work, and I'm forced to rely on this site for news on what's...

    Some of the stuff I watched today: HAL: interesting premise of a robot helper to nurse someone over grief, in a world where high tech and simple living meet, but I felt the big surprise near the end did sort of mean everything we'd seen up to that point was a lie. Looked lovely, though. Mulan...

    Felt the need to rewatch Gunsmith Cats. Still one of the coolest shows around. Maybe I had the volume up a bit too much, but it's so hard to resist.

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    Is the Internet Archive considered legit, as they appear to have the whole 26 episode live series for streaming or download. Which is nice (but I'm happy with my Blu Rays).

    The Q & A Thread (for questions that do not need a thread)

    I also recommend the 2004 live action film, if you can find it, and the 2007 live TV series (although I had to get this on Blu Ray from Amazon US and it was region A locked). Both good fun.

    Been rather busy lately so, despite the pending pile continuing to grow, I've been comfort watching old favourites. Currently re-enjoying My Dress Up Darling. Hanging out with Shizuko is like trying to ride a whirlwind, just watching her is exhausting. The music is subtle but very evocative...

    Lucky you. It's this week's Deal Of The Week!

    Aria or Is the order a rabbit would be good intro's. Probably Aria, as there is an English dub.

    Ah, I remember the good old days back in the early 00s, when a standard season box set of 26 episodes was priced around £100 and individual discs of 4-6 episodes were around £20-25.

    Lady Georgie episodes 16-18: Rapp the koala finds love, but the humans are more complicated. Ghost Stories episodes 11-20: excellent series with some good tense stories, near death experiences and startle moments, as long as you stick with the subtitles. If, however, you're after a bunch of...

    Ah, I've investigated and this isn't the Discotek version,. This is the remake of the series which has been put out by Sentai. It just looks very similar to the Discotek packaging. Why do they need four blu-rays for 23 episodes though?

    This is odd. Noticed AllYourMusic on eBay have discounted the season 1 & 2 collection of Urusei Yatsura to a ridiculously low £47.56 (and then there's the 25% discount to add to that). Looking at the back cover I note it claims it has all 23 episodes and runs for 525 minutes. My copy of Season 1...

    Dragon Wars: not worth watching. An absolute mess of a movie. The Last Unicorn: I remember reading the book when I was about 12, so details were a little hazy. I enjoyed the movie, which was a masterpiece compared to my previous film. Schmendrick's mannerisms reminded me of Billy Crystal's...

    Somali and the Forest Spirit complete series: I enjoyed that, but I realised I was a monster about half-way through the first episode when, if I was the golem, I would have been happy to see the kid being eaten and go back to my forest. The visuals were glorious and the US VA's were good. If...

    Rewatched a few shows on my hols, including most of Cat Planet Cuties. Started watching Invaders of the Rokujyoma on the train on the way home, but realised it probably a bit too saucy for first class, so went back to the Muppet Show. I think I shall make a start on Somali and the Forest Spirit...

    You're all making it sound so tempting ... but I've just got home from a "charity shop" holiday down on the coast and I now have a new teetering pile of stuff to watch (including Hal for £2, in a shop which also had Garden of Worlds, Your Name and a bunch of interesting manga which I almost...
