    The General Conversation Area

    I just saw a worrying report from Digital Foundry that LG are exiting the blu-ray player market, following Samsung and Oppo. Looks like that just leaves Sony and Panasonic. Any threat to the health of the BD player market is troubling, especially considering how quickly optical drives can start...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    These made it just in time for Christmas, after sitting at Tokyo airport for three weeks. Two orchestral Sailor Moon CDs and Always Sunset on Third Street 64, the third of Takashi Yamazaki's sentimental period dramas set in mid-showa Tokyo. That now completes my set of Yamazaki's movies that...

    Yikes, that sounds even worse than I imagined.

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

    This raises the question: will Sony force Kadokawa to become as puritan as Playstation? Ecchi manga artists are probably sweating (more than usual) right now.

    Autumn 2024 Anime Season Simulcast Line-up

    I'm glad that Wasteful Days will be getting more exposure. Hopefully that will lead to a second season at some point.

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Silent Hill 2 A great remake of an all-time classic. It nails the look and atmosphere of the original for the most part, while giving the graphics, controls, and combat a massive upgrade. I was hesitant about the new character models and voices in trailers, but most of them quickly grew on me in...

    I watched a fair bit this year, but spent way more time on games (over 700 hours...)

    Maybe AL saw a case and artbook, but they turned out to be afterimages with mass.

    Royal Mail and general postal delays: Christmas anime delivery woes

    There are also problems getting UK-bound parcels out of Japan at the moment. This notice is from CD Japan: According to tracking, I've had a parcel sitting at the airport in Tokyo for almost three weeks. 🫤

    What Games Are You Playing?

    Playstation 2024 wrap-up. This feels like redemption for CoD being my most-played game last year.

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    I still have my 10% code, so I could get Macross Plus for £108. That's still a hell of a lot for what amounts to four episodes and a book though. Between the cost of that UE and them licensing one of the more middling Macross titles with Zero, I do worry AL will get the wrong idea about interest...

    Stackry (re-shipping/import) infomation/guides

    My first order via Stackry arrived with no major problems. It took a week for Sentai's free shipping option to reach Stackry. They emailed me photos of the parcel the same day, and posted it back out within a day of me paying for postage. The global mail option then took nine days to reach me...

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    Sentai Black Friday sale order, and my first time using Stackry. I saved about £200 vs what these would have cost on Amazon.

    What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

    The good news is the Arrow release has options for watching either the three-movie or six-movie edits, so you can split it into more manageable 90-minute chunks. It's still nine hours of misery overall though. 😅 Ah, Crunchyroll are spoiling you with that deluxe cardboard box and sheet of paper...

    Overseas The Discotek Media Thread (plus AnimEigo)

    It's nice to see the original Cutie Honey series coming back. A shame that's it's only SD though; I'll just stick with my DVDs.

    Staying On Topic - "Your viewing journal" and Non-Anime Media Discussion

    Good idea. I honestly hadn't even noticed that sub-forum existed! Looks like the last post was over 3 years ago.
