    I really wish they could give us some kind of indication of what the actual issue is with this one, I don't recall any other title receiving so many consecutive delays (ever), so it can't be some general pandemic-related supply issue, but something specific to this release... I feel like Anime...

    I thought what they said was they'd value it at under the customs threshold, rather than at £1, and as there is no threshold anymore... Fwiw, I got a replacement from Anime Limited a week or two ago, declared at £1, was still hit with VAT charge, which is fine, paying a €3.50 collection charge...

    There isn't any HMV in Ireland anymore, hasn't been for like 5 years now.

    I've more or less been following the discussion on here about the upcoming EVA blu-ray releases, and I get that the older dub is desirable, which won't be on the standard edition release, but what about the subtitles? As someone who has no interest in dubs, and has never seen Evangelion, I'm...

    Hey, I've received my copy of the Violet Evergarden movie just before the weekend, only got to take a look at it tonight, and it has a "groove" on the front of the outer case, it's about a millimeter thick, fairly deep, about 1.5 centimeters from the top and running perfectly parallel to it...

    Aria is an older series, the first 2 seasons are in 4:3 rather than widescreen, and the 2nd season in particular is 26 rather than 13 episodes long, unlike the 1st and 3rd seasons, so the US has that split over 2 releases, which is something MVM (to their credit IMO) don't seem fond of doing...

    I did the math, for anyone else in Ireland looking at this, don't forget as well as the 23% vat, you're also going to get hit with customs duty @ 12% because it's over €150, and add the fedex charge of €18.45 (last I checked), with current exhange rates you are looking at a grand total of €258...

    I don't consider the Penguindrum delay a big deal, but I can't help but wonder if this is going to be isolated to that release or affect other things going forward, Eternity and the Auto-Memory Doll releasing on monday as scheduled seems rather unlikely, and the pre-orders launched during their...

    I've never watched any Evangelion stuff yet (and I haven't seen any Gundam stuff either 😜 ), so you're not alone, I swear there are dozens of us! Dozens! I honestly have no idea whether this is something I'd be into or not, but I'm pretty sure the price is going to rule out a blind buy for me...

    Wow, just dropping an early bird for 1st season of Aria, and also basically announcing Haibane Renmei on blu-ray too (via twitter)! Glad I resisted ordering the Aria series from Right Stuf, will definitely be pre-ordering this one, and really hoping the rest of the series follows. These two...

    Thank you very much, that does make sense wrt the larger parcels, still leaves me hesitant to risk any order though, I'll probably just try a small order with 2 items from BOGOF and ask in the comment section on the order page for them to send via royal mail and not a private courier.

    From their post promoting the sale; The first statement is a little misleading and poorly phrased IMO, it doesn't actually say that the 4 early birds would be "brand-new titles", but it does suggest it, the second is clearer though, with "surprise or two" hopefully meaning literally two, as in...

    May I ask, did you actually select fedex or express delivery, or did you chose free delivery via royal mail and they sent it via fedex anyway, like what happened with my xmas sale shipments? Because if it was the latter, then that completely rules me out of ordering anything in the sale, not...

    I wouldn't go as far as to call it disappointing, I mean there are some pretty decent offers there, but I think like quite a few of us on here I already have most if not all the things on offer which I have any real interest in, and I wasn't expecting the sale to be quite as crazy as their xmas...

    Anime Limited have yet another tweet promoting the sale today, curious thing about it though is that it's the second such tweet to use an image from Amanchu, and with the season 1 CE being sold out, I can't see the standard release being in the sale justification for that... Don't you be...

    If we're doing season 2 wishlists, I'd be dead pleased with 2nd season of Amanchu, along with both of those you mentioned.

    Those horrible season 2 releases have Manga branding, rather than the Animatsu branding on the season 1 amaray sets with the decent amaray box. Hasn't it been mentioned on here before that Manga-now-Funi stated they don't intend on releasing the 3rd seasons of those 2 (and presumably...

    As well as Rosario+Vampire, Paranoia Agent is another example of a recent MVM blu-ray release of an older dvd title, so I think there's definitely hope. And yeah, there are numerous MVM dvd-only releases with blu-rays available in the US, I've imported some (mostly the ones released by Sentai)...

    -- edit: price has jumped up to £47.66 now... Amazon have the recent K Collector's Edition for £25, maybe not quite a bargain but I think the early bird was £35, cheap enough to get me to order it anyway. It did drop to around £32 for a while before, then shot up to £40, and slowly dropped to...
