    Lo and behold, the interior of my Escaflowne is torn in a similar manner. I'll be sending you guys at AL an email with pics shortly.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Was about to prep an email requesting an Escaflowne replacement disc when I received one from Jeremy, stating I don't need to action anything. Fantastic service, ladies and gentlemen. In a perfect world mistakes such as these wouldn't happen, but whatever — I can't open the thing until New Years...

    MVM Listings For OreImo Discovered!

    Already own Aniplex of America's LE DVD of the season 1 and haven't the slightest intention of picking up the second season, so I'm going to have to pass on this one. If MVM had somehow managed to get BD rights to OreImo I'd have been ready and willing to throw some coin their way.

    What did you RECEIVE today?

    My experience was probably just a one off, but the BD box itself was wedged up against one of the outer box's corners. Not quite touching because of the shrink wrap, but just enough that a serious drop could've damaged the item. It's a cool way of shipping things though - saves on bundles of...

    What did you RECEIVE today?

    From Amazon JP, the Steins;Gate: Movie Collector's Edition BD. It's my first proper Japanese release (discounting AoA releases), and I can see why they're so popular - it's pretty swanky. That said, it could've been packed a little better; I opened the Amazon box only to find the BD shrink...

    It does, although now you've asked I'm beginning to doubt myself.

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    I've been holding off for a few weeks, but the Steins;Gate: Movie Collector's Edition has suddenly dropped in price to shy of 4000yen, so I finally pulled the trigger.

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

    Funny considering the average Gator's intelligence is limited to pop culture references and Internet memes.

    The Anime/Manga I Bought Today Was...

    Not so much a purchase, and rather a perk of spending a few hours volunteering in a local charity shop, but today I snagged a copy of AL's Outlaw Star Complete Box Set. Couple of the disc hubs are snapped, but I'm never one to snigger at free shizzle.

    Animefreak17's Saucy Adventures in Anime Acquisition (a silly spin-off thread)

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

    How bizarre. The fact this person willingly parts with money for bootlegs - inferior to official releases, legal streams, and most likely illegal downloads - says it all really.

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

    Is there still a large contingent of anime viewers that streams pirate copies - in 2015? I was doing that six years ago, and I doubt the quality has all that much improved. BDrips all the way, yo!

    Baccano! looks like it's shaping up to be a stellar release. Really looking forward to it.

    Seeing as you've shown an interest in Togusa, I'd strongly recommend Innocence. While I wouldn't call him the lead - that title belongs to Batou - Togusa's place in a world ruled by cybernetic augmentation is definitely a strong, underlying theme of the movie. It seems to have somewhat of a bad...

    I'm not usually one to harp on discrepancies between releases, but honestly I find the changes to the packaging between Space Dandy boxsets 1 and 2 particularly jarring. It's not so much the change from top-loading to side-loading(?), but the use of a full-sized O-card and the cleaning up of the...

    Buying online and shipment to the UK?

    Having seen some of the releases other forum members have in the various picture threads, I'm inclined to agree!

    Buying online and shipment to the UK?

    Fantastic. If this first foray into Amazon JP goes well, I could see myself becoming a regular customer. Hopefully not too regular, though. Everyone's got to eat, haha.

    And you even did the currency conversion for me; very reasonable price compared to Yes Asia. Thanks a lot, I don't know how I managed to miss the 'Estimate shipping' button.

    Buying online and shipment to the UK?

    So I'm currently mulling over making my first Amazon JP order, and I was wondering if other than having to make a new account, the process is exactly the same as if I were ordering from Amazon US? There is still the option of pre-paying VAT, right? I'm looking to order the Steins;Gate movie.

    Steins;Gate - Rewatch For the third time I play audience to self-styled 'mad scientist' Okabe Rintaro and his merry band of assistants at the Future Gadget Research Laboratory, and for the third time I leave satisfied, my itch for mind-bending science fiction thoroughly scratched. It's...
