    General TV/Movie News & Announcements

    Haha, yes the box is awful, isn't it. Plus they put the pilot movie disc at the back, which makes no sense. Fortunately the show itself is as good as ever.

    Urk, looks like Crunchyroll charge $40 for shipping to the UK. I don't know if that's a flat rate or a minimum. Also, their bargain-basement merchant software doesn't allow non-US phone numbers to be added to your account, which prevents adding a non-US address. The official word I got from...

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    I've watched some more trailers from the Xbox showcase now. They might have won the weekend trailer war based on what I've seen, but it's a Pyrrhic victory since most of those games will be on PS5 too. Sorry Microsoft, scrubbing the Playstation logo from the end of trailers isn't fooling anyone...

    Finally some exciting news! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's: How can the same **** happen to the same girl twice?!

    At a certain point, organising your collection becomes the most time-consuming game.

    The Gaming News Thread (for news that doesn't need a thread)

    Between Future of Play, Wholesome Direct, and Future Games Show, I spent half of yesterday watching game trailers. As with Summer Game Fest, there was some interesting stuff that's gone onto my endless spreadsheet of things I might buy, but nothing that massively wowed me. Here's what I have my...

    I guess it wasn't isekai enough (despite literally being set on a bunch of different worlds).

    I thought this year's trailers had a lot more variety than usual for Summer Game Fest. Previous years tended to open with a solid hour of copy-pasted grimdark action games. https://www.eurogamer.net/everything-announced-during-summer-game-fest-2024 Unfortunately, the best I can say is that...

    Ah, Aniplex prices + awful exchange rate + international shipping + VAT + Royal Mail admin fees. I've been waiting for this pain.

    This is the first Aniplex release I've wanted since Right Stuf died. What are the options for importing Aniplex titles now? Is it possible to avoid having to go through a proxy like Stackry?

    IMO, the OAVs are better, since the pacing has the breathing room to spend more time with the characters. Despite having some of the best aerial action scenes ever animated, Plus is primarily a character drama. The one exception is the final OAV, since most of the new and replacement material...

    Good to see the Cucuruz Doan movie getting released. I imagine the people who want to keep the spine labels of their Gundam collection consistent will be grinding their teeth though.

    Are Discotek in trouble? It seems like their output is decreasing while their catalogue is going out of print faster than ever.

    Yikes. Guess I'll wait for a cheaper edition.

    @Otomo @RadFemHedonist It's a spam account. If you look at the quote they did of my post, they've inserted a link to some dodgy website. I thought I'd seen every trick in the spambot book, but this is a new low. I've reported it to the mods.

    The US Shout release is the only option for the Our Promise movie, unfortunately. At least it's affordable compared to those extortionate Pony Canyon US sets for the TV series. Also there's no legal way to watch the Ensemble Concert movie in English.

    Thanks for mentioning this one. It's been so annoying trying to import anything from Australia in recent years.

    Game announcement season is underway and Sony have started it off with a...I wouldn't quite call it a whimper, but certainly not a bang. Leading off with a lengthy story scene for a seemingly multiplayer-only, Overwatch/Guardians of the Galaxy wannabe didn't impress. The graphics noticeably...

    Unofficial reports are popping up indicating that Minus One will also be available to rent/"buy"on digital storefronts like Amazon and Apple TV tomorrow. There doesn't seem to be an official source for this though, and it's unclear if it's US-only or if all regions will get it at the same time...
