    Anime as a global product

    I don't think it was an unwillingness that kept Kawajiri away initially (although it may be now as his era came and went. Time waits for no-one, after all~) Noticed in years gone by he'd still occasionally get credited for storyboards; be it for specific episodes or openings. Made me feel a bit...

    Anime as a global product

    Great thread. Read through the posts on the first page. Interesting insights & ramblings. My turn~ Partly due to anime becoming a more mainstream / global product, and in doing so losing the allure of what originally attracted me, my interest has faded. Only really re-buy stuff owned on DVD...

    Black Jacku (OVA) Ep1-2 Had watched 10/12 of this, when fairly new to anime. Remember basically sod all, besides 9/10ing it, so it's like watching for the first time anew~ What attracted me way back when was it being a darker re-imagining of Tezuka's work (which I never read). Recalled it...

    Had a true Christmas miracle earlier: sunlight, during winter, in Warsaw ('twas dobry~). Thus, I took the chance whilst waiting for 🦃 dinner to snap a few shots of xmas tat. Vampire Hunter D (Bloodlust, remastered) is a Japanese import (Kawajiri <3), and Angel Egg an Aussie import. Neither...

    THIS IS MY RAGE!!!111!!! ...is what I'd like to say--apathy all got left fueling me. Well, aside from for Google making an order for 30+ items, after the bullet point argument against Re Zero S2, but I digress~ My deets are: December 2, 2025 at 10:16 am || x4 BOGOFF || £69.98 || Result: Nein...

    So What's Your Avatar Pic?

    ^ 'Tis what Google AI answered when asked, which goes vaguely with memory: after end of v4 diverges, and although I thought closer to the last third where anime differed, guess it only the last 2-3eps (pretty sure was some filler earlier in the anime, too). The manga was still on-going when the...

    Question for anyone in-the-kno about takeovers/profits, as this end of year chaos has had my noggin' joggin': Could the decisions made regarding an obv lack of staff X all pre-orders crammed in before year's end - during a hectic sale - be linked to the Toho acquisition? TLTR: 'Tis a curiousity...

    Had something sell on eBay. Thus, had e-monies~ Been ages since looked what anime 'all ur music' selling (pain to find anything on their page as can't select genre, tho cookie voyeuring apprantly had this trio popup~). They oft have '20% off 3 items' promos, and more importantly no shipping...

    'Tis all the more unfortunate when it a gift/store exclusive, I'm assuming? Customer service officially dead until next year, unless Hanners goes pro-bono. Had same situ last year with a dented xmas pre-order... or was it the year before? (all blurs into one with AL tbh...) Wasn't able to...

    ...Christmas officially cancelled, then, barring any last minute DHLing miracles. Dai was correct: Sat a no-go zone. Cheers Andrew, son's crying downstairs now. Since 'tis all but done & dusted, and I know I'm being unreasonable wanting orders made 2-3weeks ago, I shalt leave this (full...

    ....Maybe 'twas overly optimistic if they don't even work Sat, that they may yet get through most of the backlog, last min. Overtime a possibility before going on holiday. They would however have to pay the few overwhelmed staff they employ (can't imagine a third-party shipping partner be this...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    Had not considered possiblity of S2 being short when S1 28eps. Given how high budget S1, a series under half the length promises much visual splendour. Maybelline~ Makes sense though: author went on hiatus after v13 iirc, and think v14 latest in 🗾?

    My best guess is - being as the last few days some other, smaller orders not dated Dec 2nd randomly sent as well - they're most likely leaving the big orders 'till last. Sending those expedited delivery/DHL, and getting rid the smaller orders asap RM would be my hope anyway... as it also the...

    The News Thread (for news that does not need a thread)

    T'would be arrogant of one such as myself to think I could compare to you, Girly-dono, but I too own a few shoujo anime from disco: Kodocha and Lovely Complex. Us middle aged/old men (+Roy) should arrange a cowatch together - at night - so we can enjoy Sana from Kodocha together. Purely for...

    T'would indeed appear, 17 days later, they're shipping orders placed on the 2nd I can confirm; zappi/Titan. Some good news. My Bleach BOGOFF x4 order remains unsent, but my other order placed later that day for x2 £4.99 box sets, just for the hell of it, has been dispatched. A two weeks order...

    Tried my best, like. Not sure what else you want: Hanners unlike Andrew ignores meeee. I had @FathersBane - clearly a young, sensitive soul, yet to be tainted black by Anime Limited - ready to debate if AL/I corporate-soulless, and FMA equivalent exchange. Then @Just Passing Through appeared...

    Posting this 'ere, in case anyone else wants to turn S&W's bizarre pt1-only box set, into a more complete set. First picture/on the left is with the new case inserted. Lighting naff as had to turn light on during day, given the typically grim weather in Warsaw. Purchased this 14mm case ('tis...

    I shall pray for @Titan that this is a one-off occurrence, as he had his copy of PB shipped yesterday, and on the site it's still sold out. If even Girly-dono had to cancel, when international orders get priority one treatment, it bodes ill, it does. Dire times are offoot when our American...
