FLCL Complete Walks the line between absurd but excellent and absurd and annoying. I think I definitely need to watch this one again soon to milk all the plot of it as I have to say I have only a thread of an idea of what happened. Also, the music. Easily the best music of any anime I’ve seen...

City Hunter Netflix Film I decided to watch the film dubbed, for some reason I just felt it would extenuate the comedic elements, and boy did it! A really fun movie with some cool stunts, fighting and gunplay. It might not be John Wick, but I had just as much fun with the humour and characters...

Gundam: The Origin Complete As an enjoyer of the manga, I went in with some trepidation just incase it didn’t live up to my expectations. Thankfully, the adaption is extremely well done and accurate (to my memory at least) to my memory. Well, I can hardly call it an adaptation as both were done...

Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie Film I’ve not watched this since the 90s and to be honest, I could only remember that scene (look, I was a teenager then 😅). Maybe it’s not the cinema masterpiece I remember it being, but with all the fan service for fans of the game, it still is a...

Don’t tempt me Frodo!

I’m really tempted by the paprika 4k set

Cowboy Bebop movie from HMV as it was in the 30% off deal. Perfect Blue and Street Fighter from Amazon US as a test to see what they was like. No issues, surprised there was little packaging but no issues with the outer of the cases and it sounds like the discs are secure.

Sword of the Stranger Film A fun time watching an odd couple and dog on the run. Cool action, great sound track and lots of limbs being severed. Fun for the family. 🗡️

A cheeky sealed second hand pick up

The Boy & The Beast Film I won’t lie, out of all of the Hosoda films, I thought this would be the one I would dislike. Well it turns out… It was a fun time. An enjoyable romp fit for a Saturday night. Will it be something that I think about often, probably not. But it looked cool, the...

Changing Rooms reboot? 😮

But what could this possibly be about?

Is it me or are 4k releases almost like LE in the UK for anime? I don’t know why it should be so hard to get Gundam Thunderbolt or Belle. Am I missing something or just being dense? I get the demand is less, but you would think if the stock goes quick, they would do a small second run.

Mobile Suite Gundam: Cucuruz Doan’s Island Film I must have slept through this going up on Crunchyroll. Damn son, this has everything I want from a Gundam movie, Zakus, Zakus and Zakus. Oh and the little things like a human element to the story, an anti war message and minimal moody teenagers...

It’s such a great show, I need to get round to buying it soon. My daughter likes it too, although pretty sure the subtext is lost on her at this point. Hopefully she’ll be happy to rewatch it as she grows older and pick up on it on her own 🥰

@Puringa I assume you got hit with import tax on that lot? I foresee a lot of Lupin in your future 😂

Somali and the Forest Spirit is DotW on Anime Limited.

Yeah I’m trying my hardest to finish one series before I start another. Kaiba has ruined that because I’m finding it tough to watch more than one episode at a time. Probably why I’m working through my films instead.

Summer Wars Film Yeah more films. I think the concept of the film is pretty great considering it was made 15(?) years ago now. However the downside is, no visual medium ever makes VRish social media look cool, same for hacking. It’s cool to see the seeds for Belle her though which I thinks...

How is IWS series? I’ve had my eye on it for a while but I keep getting distracted with anime releases.
