Yeah, it definitely sounds like we’re on very different sides when it comes to perceiving & examining the world, although that actually also serves as a beneficial litmus test for whether they’d be interested in the show. For example, if someone were to ask me whether there was a god or not, I’d...

I mean the series is ongoing so it was pretty much impossible to have any sort of conclusive end. Given how much the manga ramps up the chaos in subsequent volumes, it was honestly the best stopping point they could find. As for the best of your comment, I’m honestly not sure you quite got the...

Should you pick up Land of the Lustrous from MVM's deal of the week? No. You should have picked it up full-priced, the day it was released, frothing at the mouth, like I did, but if for some crazy reason you didn't, it is your shame-filled chance to atone. Land of the Lustrous was easily my...

Yeah, I'll probably follow you there. Normally I find the visual differences from visual comparisons to be fairly negligible to my eyes, but those are some rough-looking screencaps. I'll see what addition examinations reveal when the UK disks are shipped and whether there's confirmed to be a...

It looks like my suspicions that Millennium Actress would be the final 12 Days item is turning out to be correct. Makes sense I suppose; it's probably going to be the title that brings in the most attention, so it might be better leave it until the end to potentially encourage customers to snag...

Look, I get that delays are part and parcel of licensing but this has long since gone past the point of absurdity. Throughout the entirety of this year virtually every Anime UK News, ANN, etc. headline about Manga is to announce a delay. Every 3-4 weeks. Like clockwork. There's not a single...

There's been a lot of good deals but I'm already at the point where I've already bought most of the titles I was interested in, although I did make an exception for Penguin Highway and Pigtails as a result of the BOGOF deal (it's been years since I last watched Wasurenagumo). Pretty much...

Personally I'm of the opinion that any collector's edition of Penguindrum should come with a copy of Haruki Murakami's Underground/The Place That Was Promised. Ok, that will never actually happen, but holy crap, was that book incredibly helpful for examining the themes and empathy on display in...

I still haven't actually watched the disks myself so I'm only going by the comments at the time, but from what I can remember the quality of the episodes themselves were serviceable, but I do recall Justin Sevakis mentioning on an old ANNcast episode that the extras (on disk two?) had some of...

I already own Black Lagoon and Sentai's release of Penguindrum, but I'd happily shell out on the latter again if it receives a new sub track that isn't heavily based on Steven Foster's 2007-era meme-filled script. I'm not sure if Kaze used the same 'dubtitles' on their dvds, but an official...

Good to know. I think my biggest worry was just how much the cost of including the 4K disk would be, although admittedly I haven't really kept up with how much the replication costs have gone down since the discussion around the Your Name deluxe edition some years back

I'm a shoe-in for Planetes & Re-Zero, with Children of the Sea and Cyber City Oedo being likely pre-orders. I'll have to see about the Millennium Actress collector's edition, given that I have no plans to upgrade my tv/bd player to 4K models until both actually die. It's a nice set, but if we're...

Thanks for the candid reply. At least knowing there's still definite interest in the franchise puts my mind at ease quite a bit. I guess it's just playing the waiting game at this point. I would really hope this isn't the result of something daft like Aniplex deliberately keeping it incomplete...

Oh yeah I've seen it, and although I'm aware that this might be a minority opinion, I view it more as a meditation of the themes of the series, rather than a key piece of narrative. It's great to have as a victory lap for the franchise, but it definitely feels more like supplementary material...

As I know MVM staff do occasionally look through this thread, given that it's been over three years since the show aired, I don't suppose you can offer any insight as to what, if anything, is going on with acquiring Owarimonogatari part 3? You released the blu rays of the first two parts back in...

I'm not exactly a huge Gundam fan so I haven't paid much attention to most of the announcements, but has there ever been mention by AL staffer whether they plan to release all of the Nozomi's titles or just select series and movies? I'm tempted to buy War in the Pocket in the Rightstuf sale, but...

With talk of March & Eupho S2, does anyone know if there's even the remotest chance of Rakugo being reaquired after it became a viction of the Crunchyroll/Funi collapse. Who even owns the rights now? They sure as heck aren't doing anything with it.

Nothing concrete in terms of the physical release but there was mention that it's still being worked on with the aim of a 2020 release

There's some huge caveats with that Eva release but for now I'm pretty pleased. I guess we'll see what happens with the ADV dub situation or the Netflix sub tracks. I'm not hugely optimistic given the power and pedantry of both Khara and Netflix, but anything is possible. I also have concerns...

' If a sequel were ever to be green-lit I would want to full title to be 'Land of the Lustrous S2: It Gets Worse
