After the Aria figure was posted, I went to eBay to see if there was anything (in my price range). Spotted one with a low starting price (£3) and no bids. Won it and it just arrived. DO I remove it from its box (yes) or keep it in its pristine state (£12 with postage - probably not a big resale...

Konosuba series 1 episodes 1-5: This is a very silly series. Very much parodying the whole isekai genre. Just one question: are the previews (dubbed) supposed to cut out half way through or is it a cost-cutting exercise to squeeze everything on one disc? Oh, and I do like the giant toads.

Took the long journey to a CEX to offload some stuff and pick up Konosuba season 1.

Ranma ½: The Battle of Nekonron, China! A Battle to Defy the Rules! and Ranma ½: Battle at Togenkyo! Get Back the Brides: Finally I understand what's going on in the first movie. What a silly idea to watch the movie before seeing the TV series (see also Urusei Yatsura). The ladies all looked...

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics episodes 20-24: Series complete. Entertaining but a bit weird. They changed Cinderella's fairy godmother to a flock of friendly talking pigeons and a magic tree!

Decided against the ATA mystery box after seeing the contents, but decided it was worthwhile picking up Fortune Favors Lady Nikuko and upgrading my Testament of Sister New Devil's (£25.48 with my member discount). My Sentai order seems to be lost somewhere within Royal Mail (I hear their...

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics episodes 7-19: some of the stories run across multiple episodes and they have removed the credits within these episodes, so the Snow White episode (4 episodes) ran for nearly 90 minutes. These stories have been, umm, altered in a number of ways. Someone out there...

Galaxy Angel S (a whole 2 episodes): how many times can the cast members die and return to life? Maybe they're really all cats. Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics episode 2- 6: very primitive animation, dubious interpretations of the classic old stories and some dodgy English dialogue (I'm sure one VA...

When does the spring sale end? It's really frustrating not receiving any emails from them about this (and there's no info on the website I could see).

Galaxy Angel AA complete series: a lot of the shows are entertaining but quickly forgotten. There were some stand-outs, including the one where Mint turned into a tree and the dried fish western. Distracting but little in the way of character development.

Oxfam currently have the classic Gunsmith Cats DVD for £30 (plus £4 postage) in a 40% off sale. I have the kickstarter Blu Ray but there might be someone out there who hasn't got a copy of this excellent series....

My Sentai order from the US is either still in Sweden (Royal Mail website) or was handed to Royal Mail on Monday having never been to Sweden (according to FedEx). My guess is they're calculating the import duties and my hope is it'll turn up before Easter. I can no longer remember what I...

Ranma 1/2 episodes 147-161: And finally in the last two episodes we get the "mother arc". Won't spoil the surprise for anyone else planning on taking the journey. Just the OVAs and movies set to go and I can start looking at all the extras.

Ranma 1/2 episodes 139-146: I enjoyed the trip to the mushroom forest the most (love mushrooms!?), but it did give a disturbing glimpse into what Ranma and Akane being giddily in love would look like. My biggest concern with the series so far is the lack of a glimpse/mention of their mothers...

update on my Sentai package. Arrived at Stackry on Monday, was forwarded (via DHL for £17.50) on Tuesday. Got an email from Royal Mail on Friday telling me "We’ve been notified that a parcel has been posted to you from Stackry in United States of America." Just checked the RM tracking page and...

Science Fell In Love So I Tried To Prove It complete series: Don't like the poor grammar in the title and even in the mid episode pauses the US VAs were calling it Science geeks or people, so I'm probably not alone. I'd recommend watching in English for the first time, as I fear the subtitles...

Still no emails with discount codes. Not even an email about the sale. It's like they've lost me on their member database. Luckily, there's nothing that I want (that I don't already have). Any this way, I'm not tempted to pick up the mystery box on a whim. Phew!

I have no emails yet regarding discounts. But I've also got no money to spare (it won't stop me looking).

I love Buffy, but I can't just watch fave episodes. It's either the entire series from start to finish (with a month or two set aside) on nothing. Maybe I should unwrap my copy of Silver Spoon and give it a go. One day, maybe.

Bit of non-anime last night, but all from Japan mostly thanks to the HMV sale on Japanese films (still running). Our Little Sister was lovely, and one of the stars was the cyborg from the classic Cyborg She, Antiporno was rather disturbing, as we look into the fractured mind of a woman going out...
