Continued from the "What did you buy today" topic since it's now off-topic: I kind of did this, on a much smaller scale. The small place I grew up in had a train depot with a very small switching yard that could barely be called that, but enough of one that cars and locomotives did sit there...

Thanks, was just curious given what I had recently experienced. I hate it when blu-rays or games are shipped in bubble envelopes. It's very poor protection and has a high chance of damage.

Smashed from shipping damage, or apparently otherwise? I ask that because of two things I got from the recent Sentai sale, where it looks like the blu-ray packaging plant is using damaged and used blu-ray cases. Both disc sets were sealed in the typical cellophane with the "disc made in Mexico"...

I'll get Lupin Part II; I never bought the DVDs as the four sets were more than I wanted to pay to have the series; I'm more a fan of slightly newer Lupin (Parts IV and V specifically). I'm not sure of any of the rest of the announcements but this slate is more in line with things that may...

I was looking for From Bureaucrat to Villainess which is also May so figured it may not make it since it was that new, but the point of those doorbusters does look to be they put things on sale there that otherwise are too recent to be on sale. It looks like this summer sale and the Black...

You must have indeed ordered very early once the Sentai sale started. I ordered on the first day around 4-5 hours after it started I think, and Azumanga Daioh was already sold out. Probably sold even earlier as I'm sure I took some time looking through what from my want list was on sale before...

Ruin Explorers looks like something I will like. I have the Funimation ReLIFE but might get this version too if there's any indication it's improved (redone subtitles, better encoding, etc.)

Yes that is correct. I do feel this kind of thing is more likely to remain available than some other aspects of digital, unless Sony just decides they do not want you to be able to do this. For a somewhat relevant analogy, I don't know anymore, but Microsoft still used to activate rather old...

I try to have at least one backup console for everything especially the newer ones, and am thinking about getting a spare blu-ray drive for the PS5 since it's separate. It's a bit different for me--I make no secret here that I'm old (60+) and this announcement by Sony has cemented the decision...

I started doing that too. I generally keep up with releases especially as I buy a lot of imports, but had a number where I was just using the digital upgrade thing for PS5 versions of games I bought for PS4, and decided to buy the PS5 physical versions for any where I thought that there's some...

Yay for the Dragon Maid film and Vending Machine S2, and finally Crunchyroll UK announcements that look somewhat normal again. Coincidentally I looked a bit earlier at both AL and MVM's stores to see if anything new for Crunchyroll had been listed since it's been awhile, but nothing was there...

Crime Story--wish that was on blu-ray. There was a DVD set in the US, now seemingly out of print. I don't know what the quality was, so much of the TV series on DVD stuff seemed like they just slapped the video on a disc with no attention paid to quality so there were often so many compression...

He's also the lead character in No Longer Allowed in Another World which is how I became aware of him: https://anidb.net/anime/17507

Anita Mui is awesome. She died so young. :( I have a couple of her CDs.

Because I'm old I remember these turntables, though I didn't remember specifically which the SL7 was until I looked it up. I do remember that one having seen it again, but the ones I primarily remembered were the SL10 and SL15, the fully square ones that just had a window on top rather than the...

There's nothing wrong with having your own weird headcannon on movies but pushing it on others as the only possible interpretation that everyone should see as well is just incredibly narcissistic.

I am now getting the 502 Bad Gateway errors, for a few days now, with the site inaccessible seemingly more than it is available, or maybe I'm just unlucky as to when I try.

I was thinking about this. I've never bought full retail games digitally, because they've always been available physically at least for anything I wanted. Except for some very low priced things like Arcade Archives, I've also only bought digital when it's on sale because I don't view it as worth...

Well, Endo and Kobayashi Live! is the only one that appealed to me and I bought. Not sure if that is a positive or a negative for you since our tastes don't always line up. 😁 I have not watched it yet, but I found the premise interesting. If I don't have it confused with another show, I used to...

Oh! I didn't notice and am not familiar with the material. Weird coincidence that they are releasing one day apart then.
