They did the right thing with that shortbread, that stuff's legit. I could eat it for days!

Today I saw My Neighbor Totoro at the cinema. I watched it to death back in the 90s and early 2000s when I had a VHS copy of the pre-Disney sub that I recorded off of Sky TV. Haven't watched it since then. I was excited to see a subtitled showing at my local indie cinema. Exactly as wonderful as...

Delighted to say I'm going to Japan soon :) Bit of a last minute decision. I was surprised at how cheap the flights and hotel were. I mean, it's all relative, but I expected it to be twice the price - which is why a holiday there was always something for the future. 12 days in total excluding...

Out of interest, did you watch the dub or the subtitled? I've seen one episode of the dub and I cannot stand it, it makes me want to scream at my TV. But the 2003 (ish) fansub is one of my favourite things ever made. Good to see Ah My Goddess on there. Used to love that, and I especially loved...

Welcome to the site! The 90s is definitely my favourite too. So much anime nowadays seems flat and bland. Not all of it - there's some gorgeous and outstanding anime in the modern era, and of course there was plenty of low-budget garbage back in the 90s too - but all things being equal, the 90s...

This is a brilliant list! I just recently finished a marathon of the first three seasons of Slayers. Love that show. And Excel Saga is one one of my favourite pieces of media of all time. With the exception of a few duff episodes, I honestly think that show was made especially for me. It's so...

Welcome! 90s anime is my favourite era too. What are your favourite shows?

I'm trying to research more into Japan's recently launched digital nomad visa, and my god it's maddening to find concrete details. One thing I'm still confused by is the required insurance. You need to prove your insurance to apply for the visa - but also, when you buy insurance, you have to say...

Thanks for the heads up on this. Based on the opening alone, I get the feeling that this is right up my alley. Purchased, looking forward to it arriving.

Nice! I hope to emulate this success one day, and pick up some retro Manga Video / Kiseki / Pioneer anime, just as decoration for my shelf. I've no interest in paying big prices for any of it - but if I ever happen to see them for a couple of pounds each at a car boot sale or something, then I'd...

Yesss!! Love Armand van Helden, love A-Trak, love when they come together. This is another great tune by them.

Here's hoping it's a good release - the previous blu ray had some problems. Interstella5555/readme.md at main · sttng/Interstella5555

Grateful for the ideas there, thank you! I don't have Facebook, but as it happens I posted on Reddit before posting here. I tried on a few subs, but sadly no-one recognised it.

This all makes me wonder whether I made a mistake by preordering the Macross Plus set. Maybe better to avoid preorders altogether until other folks have had a chance to report back on the quality of these things.

As you might guess from my profile pic, I'm somewhat of a Bobobo fan too. :) Welcome to the forums!

Just finished watching this. Outstanding stuff. I need to watch it again with pauses so I can think about it and go down some Google rabbit holes. I don't know if I've ever had any conversations with other anime fans about anything as specific as the idea of Japan remilitarising - but, in the...

Has anyone received a marketing email from ATA in the past two weeks? I haven't. I dropped off their mailing list a couple of months ago. Initially they seemed to not believe their was a problem - but then, they resubscribed me and it worked. Wondering if i need to contact them again, or if...

Yoooo welcome!

Oh nice one! Thank you for letting me know, I'll check it out. The other movie I loved on this festival was We Made a Beautiful Bouquet https://watch.jff.jpf.go.jp/film/we-made-a-beautiful-bouquet I must say that the title doesn't make sense to me. The literal translation, "Loved Like a Flower...

Just finished watching Anime Supremacy. Greatly enjoyed it. I felt like only one-fifth of the onscreen text was translated. More like one-hundredth if you include the many social media posts that pop up on the screen that aren't translated. No idea if the messages were saying good or bad things...
