Oh, so it's not just me then. It seems to initially load on all the devices I've tried without issue, but if you stop playing/power off the player and then try to continue later on, it takes many attempts as it tries to restart. I'm guessing there's an issue with the disk trying to recover the...

I pre-ordered Girls Last Tour and will probably do the same for the two Kizu movies. Depends on how much I spend this weekend... it could be a heavy one :oops: Also I'm getting a replacement for the Made in Abyss BD that went gone missing, so huge thanks for that, MVM.

That Beladonna book offer reminds me that I've never tried to hawk my copy from the original sale. Not that I think there's any chance of actually selling it at those absurd amazon marketplace prices or anything. I also recall Jeremy (I think) saying they would consider selling the remaining...

Btw, while I'm here, are there any plans for Easter offers, etc. on the site? There's definitely several titles I've yet to pre-order yet ^^

Awesome. I'll definitely find time to visit my local sorting office at some point during the week (they seem oddly adverse to answering their phones), but if there's no news and Wednesday passes, I'll contact your email address. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to respond, so thanks again :)

Yeah, it definitely has a small, but pretty devoted number of supporters. Fans the sci-fi shenanigans in Steins Gate (not to much the waifu elements) might find something there. I bounced off it pretty quickly, but it's hard to understate how much the OP slams.

Thanks for the reply. I did ring my local office a few times this morning (no reply) and will try and visit them on Monday. I'm not expecting much though; I was actually at home all last week to see the post delivered, so I know there wasn't an attempt to contact me. Plus packages are nearly...

I figured as much. Hopefully it's just been delayed somewhere, otherwise I'll have to enquire further if it hasn't arrived by next week. Since January it seems like a good third of my packages sent via royal mail have vanished in transit, whether they were tracked or not. I can't tell if RM have...

Out of curiosity, did everyone else's copies of Made in Abyss show up ok? I received the dispatch notice on Monday but there's been no trace yet, which is odd considering most MVM disks tend to appear within 24-48 hours of being sent. By contrast Land of the Lustrous shipped on Tuesday & arrived...

Damn, thanks for the heads up. I've had that show on my import shame list for too long and even with Amazon nearly doubling the amount with shipping, it's still far cheaper than any alternative I've seen on rightstuf, etc. It's a shame sales were so low that Sentai have refused to release even a...

Both Made in Abyss and Land of the Lustrous have also been dispatched for me. :) I'm especially looking forward to Lustrous, considering it's probably my favourite show of the last 10-15 years. It's a shame the western releases weren't able to include any of the production extras found in the...

I've yet to see Gundam 00, but yeah, he was the guy that turned Hiromu Arakawa's vague but noticeable references to the Iraq War during FMA's Ishbalan Extermination Campaign arc into something far more direct and scathing. Un-Go & Concrete Revolutio also had incredibly strong anti-imperialism...

Yeah, Sentai had a brief spell of trying to cram ecchi shows and niche titles on to a single disk whenever possible. However, in the case of Shirobako at the very least, the quality turned out perfectly fine. Probably because it wasn't especially animation intensive. I recall Justin Sevakis in...

My copy of Princess Principal arrived to day. Looks gorgeous! I just wanted to say fine work on MVM's part of managing to bring a collector's edition with all the production extras intact. Looking forward to burning through them later.

I do love how that show opens with school girls and donuts and sparkly promises and *fast-forward 5 years* drag racing and EXISTENTIAL DREAD! I also love how the director is literally Seiji Mizushima. It's just a shame we never saw him go on any weirdly aggressively anti-imperialistic or...

Shirobako a cutesy comedy? I'm not sure we were watching the same show there, especially considering many of the events and people were based on real life stories from working in the anime. There's heightened dramatic tension, sure, but that show was transformative in educating younger (& older)...

Great to see Girl's Last Tour get confirmed with the important Sentai extras (i.e. the production materials) intact. Fingers crossed they have access to the same image assets, as both the slipcase and the extras casing have stunning illustrations. Seeing the first two Kizu sets show up is also...

Happy to see Kizu is on the way. With any luck we'll also get an announcement on the final season of Owari. I'm surprised the latter hasn't had any update yet. The movie delays I can understand but the franchise's tv gap has been fairly consistent until now. Btw, does anyone recall whether MVM...

Chances are there are cheaper ways to get around it, but as a novice when it comes proxy services, it seems about standard to me. What JP proxy do you use, btw? I've only used White Rabbit Express before, which was fine for customs, but as I bought a fairly large art book, the p&p cost nearly...

Both the dub and the subsequent dubtitles (the Penguindrum subs just copy the dub script rather than a more literal translation) were written by a fellow called Steven Foster, who was behind many of Sentai's early releases, chiefly the fanservice and comedy-based series. The guy has a reputation...
