I just got this email from Crunchyroll. What absolute horseshit. They are now paywalling access to their store behind the highest subscription tiers. Yes, I’d LOVE to pay more money just to have the privilege to shop for Solo Leveling t-shirts and JJK figures. Go fuck yourself Sony. I miss Rightstuf
This is why Sentai are the goats. Sentai: Call of the Night S1 Premium Box Set - MSRP $180 Sale Price $68 (62% off) Aniplex: Demon Slayer Hashira Training Arc Limited Edition - MSRP $112 Sale Price $100 (11% off) Just laughable.
I knew that shot in My Adventures With Superman looked familiar lol I honestly love how the people behind it are blatant anime fans.
#NowWatching for my vacation’s annual backlog clearance series (actually started last night)
Okita daishouri! But after dumping 300+ SQ I didn’t get one Space Ereshkigal. It’s Okita Sover.
And that’s a wrap on the OG! 120%! Actually the first time I did that on either version. Some stuff I had to look up but overall a breezy experience. Still fun and Toys For Bob made it look good! Took about 7 hours. Looking forward to Ripto’s Rage next! It’s my favorite of the three.
I’ve forgotten just how short the levels are in the Spyro games. After two hours I’ve already reached 38% in the first game and have maxed out the first two home worlds without much trouble.
To get excited about #Spyro A Realm Beyond, and to get me in the habit of holding a controller again, I’m gonna go through the Reignited trilogy again! This time on my PS5 and aiming to 100+% all three games. The adventure begins… Will update my progress.
Apparently the Gurren Lagann movies are getting a standard 4K release in the UK for just £50 ($66USD). That is less than half of what Aniplex USA is charging. Hopefully I can import this because that price gap is insane.
Sure, Facebook. Remind me of the time I was being horny on main about Nana Shimura. Not sorry though, because my feelings have not changed.
I loathe when companies do this. Funimation released a gorgeous limited edition for The Ancient Magus’ Bride with a beautiful green hard box and a gold finished complete with a booklet, art cards and poster inside. Imagine my disappointment when season 2 ended up being a plain barebones part 1+2
Crunchyroll doesn’t even release limited editions anymore. They just stick two art cards inside the case and look at you like this
With this as my mantra being on social media has been much easier for me and much healthier. Hope you all are having a pleasant evening now that Monday is over. ☺️
Aniplex putting the dub for Angel Beats! on OceanVeil of all places is…a choice. At least we know they haven’t forgotten about it, I guess.
Checked out the first episode of Spider-Noir (in authentic black and white, of course). Wow, what a start. You can tell a lot of love and care went into this adaptation. It definitely has that 40s film noir feel, and the black and white really elevates that. So many good shadows and contrast.
This reply from Sentai to someone asking if they had Fate/Zero showed up in my memories today. From 2015, I think. I find it amazing nothing has changed. I can get the Call of the Night premium set for $75 on DeepDiscount right now meanwhile Aniplex is charging $136 for the 4K Gurren Lagann films.
I know it’s in right now to say older/retro anime are better and new anime is all slop but there are plenty good series since 2020. Here are some of my faves.
Another good anime deal courtesy of DeepDiscount. Aniplex has 0 interest in releasing their catalog so I splurged on Black Butler Book of Circus ($45), Book of Murder ($27) and Book of the Atlantic ($27) while there’s still inventory left. Oh and the Star Trek TOS 6 film 4K collection just cuz.
Finally started #WitchHatAtelier last night. Everyone was right, this slaps. Dub is excellent too.
