    Post a photo of your entire anime collection!

    As awesome as it is seeing everyone's collections, it saddens me to think how obsolete those DVDs are going to be soon, just like VHS is today. I spent a lot of money collecting anime on DVD, and now many of them are re-released on Blu-ray with better packaging, bonus content and so on…we end up...

    Neon Genesis Evangelion

    The order to watch it in is the original series and then the two DVDs which provide an alternate ending for those who were butthurt. As Shiroi pointed out, one of the two alternative ending DVDs is just a recap so you may want to pass up on it depending on how fresh the events from the series...

    Eureka Seven AO

    I was going to start a discussion about this kind of thing. Distributors complain about poor UK sales and piracy, but even the music industry does more than the anime industry when it comes to providing legal routes for fans to acquire products quickly and at a fair price (eg. iTunes, Spotify)...

    Warren Spector says games are "fetishising violence&quo

    Bulletstorm was all about killing people in violent and imaginative ways while making up new swear words. I don't mind ultraviolence, but I feel the market is getting a little bit over-saturated with it. Not enough to start complaining, but enough to start getting worried.

    Eureka Seven AO

    I did a quick search and couldn't find a dedicated topic on this so I've decided to start one. How are you guys finding this sequel thus far? I've seen up to episode thirteen and things are really starting to get interesting in terms of how the previous series will connect to this one. Ao seems...

    Gundam, where the hell do I begin?

    Also collecting two Gundam manga series'; MS Gundam: Lost War Chronicles and MS Gundam: Ecole du Ciel or some French **** along those lines. I'm actually quite a big mecha enthusiast and I have some Gunpla. One of the main motivations for wanting to see more of the Gundam anime is that lately...

    Gundam, where the hell do I begin?

    I've seen the series of MS Gundam, didn't even know they had movies. I've also seen the original Macross anime series but none of the recent ones.

    Gundam, where the hell do I begin?

    I've seen Gundam Wing and Mobile Suit Gundam, I'm looking to watch everything Gundam related at this point but not really sure which order I'm supposed to watch it all in. Are there any Gundam fanatics who can advise me on the best order to watch'em in?

    What music do you listen to whilst gaming?

    When I listen to music whilst gaming, it's nearly always dubstep these days. Call of Duty: Black Ops is the only exception as I find myself blasting AC/DC tracks like Back In Black whilst gunning everyone down online.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Currently playing Brink on the Xbox 360, the reviews haven't done this game much justice.

    Viz launches Free manga iPad app

    As an iPad owner and someone who was recently saying how I'll be pirating all my manga for the iPad until distributors take their fingers out, I'm qute happy about this. I've been thinking about getting into One Piece so I may actually download this app and start collecting the volumes, but not...

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Hm, I'll have to think about it whilst at work today. I might just order them but if I can't find volume one it's going to feel like a waste of money and time.

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Those do indeed help but I would need volume 1 to make it worthwhile. God damn it I wish I took that Ebay bid more seriously, I might have been able to re-sell those after reading them for a tidy sum.

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    I'm in a bit of a pickle here, maybe one of you guys can help. I'm trying to buy the complete series of the Blame! manga. I can only find them pre-owned for ridiculous prices like £50-£150 for just the first volume. I was watching an epic Ebay bid which had the entire collection in excellent...

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Read your post Nefer, but will reply to you directly later as I'm on the iPad. I just wanted to expand on my situation a little by explaining how my reading/watching habits go at the moment. I like manga because there are less fillers in them and the majority of anime is based on a manga or...

    Sword of the stranger ending

    It's not uncommon to leave the ending open for various reasons, including the possibility of turning it into a series and milking it some more etc. Watch the ending and decide for yourself what you want to believe happened, neither answer is technically wrong right now.

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Hm, sweet, will bookmark those sites and use them next time I'm hunting down a specific volume of a manga. I might try collecting OnePiece soon as I hear it's a really awesome manga series.

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    I got into manga through anime, and since 80% of the **** I read was through a teen librarian who loved manga and stocked a ****-ton of it in my local branch, I never had to think much about where it was coming from. So where do you guys buy your manga from? I've only used Book Depository...

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Yeah I picked up the first 3 volumes of Vagabond on EBay last week for just a quid which made me real happy. I didn't know that most UK manga was from the US, so now I can stop being paranoid about buying imports seeing as that's pretty much necessary it would seem.

    Balancing my Anime & Manga

    Oh and another thing. When buying manga, at which point does a single volume cost too much? Would you pay £8 for the average tankobon or less? As for Amazon US, isn't there going to be an int'l postage fee when ordering from them? I assume you would buy in big bulks to save on some postage.
