The anime thread sequel (it's still not as good as the Manga though),

I received a message via kickstarter the other saying that the Patema Inverted sets should start shipping next week:)

I finished watching the second Gurren Lagann film last night which was very good, and I must admit to having a tear in my eye* once again when
Kamina died, and then Nia sort of disappeared/died at the wedding, and again when after the credits you got to Simon helping to forfil Nia's wish, and all the field of flowers over the graves
.

Tonight I'm going to try and rewatch something light and silly, possibly Puni puni poemi, or Magical shopping arcarde Abenobashi.


*Although to be honest since I had to have our mutt put down last month that's not been uncommon:/
 
I watched the new Blu-ray of Spirited away last night, which was good :)
A nice upgrade to the DVD version, even if the packaging is not a patch on the R4 limited edition from a few years back :)
I'm not sure but I think there was still a slight reddish tint (same as the DVD versions), mainly noticeable on things that were likely meant to be plain white (the paper bird things for example), but as I've never seen the original Cinema version from Japan it's not something I really noticed or can get worked up about.

I may try and watch something completely different in the next little while, possibly attack on titan, puni poni dash, or something else from my collection/backlog.
Having said that I should be getting the complete BSG on blu-ray this week, so that's going to eat up a lot of time.
 
This year I've been very restrained with my anime buys (I think), certainly nothing like the days when I would order 20-30 discs in a single go from TRSI.

I think it currently looks something like
Otaku no video
Last Exile: Fam the silver Wing set 2 (Blu)
Kashimish bundle (3 discs)
Otoboku bundle (3 discs)
mayo chiki complete collection
Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt: Complete collection blu-ray

pecnarf, iirc you may be able to get the individual films in the collection cheaper than the box set, but you'd lose the nice box and a disc of extra's.

I actually cancelled my order when I realised I had most of the films twice, and it was only (I think) two of them that I had not got on blu-ray.
 
My Patema inverted UE arrived monday, so yours should have arrived killboy.

Bakes, I'm really really looking forward to that, although I think the last update suggested they may not receive them to ship until the 12th or the 15th, so probably won't see them this side of Christmas given how long shipping from america and customs clearance often take :(
 
I hadn't even registered that there was tracking information!

It's "departed" the airport which I suspect means it's currently in customs, as like yours it arrived in London the 17th, so with luck it might arrive by Christmas.
 
Aye, it's about hard back book size, I'm looking forward to watching it and reading the bool :) (although I've still to read a load of manga* I've bought over the last couple of years, and the Gurren book).

My BGC set still hasn't arrived, so it looks unlikely that I'll be watching that over Christmas :(


*Currently running at all of the Love Hina and Genshiken omnibuses, the Wolf Children hardback manga, and most of the Spice and Wolf books :p (I sort of wish they'd get ebook releases as well as the paper ones).
 
Aye both the movies came with the gurren boxset :)
They're pretty much re-edits of footage from the TV series, with a few new scenes and I think some redone animation.

I managed to watch Patema Inverted Christmas eve, which was really good, a nice idea behind it and well implemented.


Alex, who are you and what have you done with the real Alex?
He wouldn't have let anything get in the way of keeping up with Holo's adventures with Lawrence.
 
*mutters jealously*

If you've not seen it before I think you're going to enjoy it :)

I'm making do with listening to the Hurricane live music videos at the moment:p
Hopefully my copy will arrive tomorrow...(and my brother has noticed how much BGC music in on my in car playlist, although as I point out to him at least it's not 500 versions of fly me to the moon).
 
A quick Q for the BGC set buyers who have received them, it was via RM not parcel force wasn't it?

I ask as I'm going to try and chase it up on Saturday or Monday as I'm starting to worry that they've not even carded me despite the tracking saying
Your item could not be delivered on December 24, 2014 at 5:44 am in UNITED KINGDOM due to the addressee not available at time of delivery. It is being held while the addressee is notified.

Re the BGC set
Is it the OVA series you guys are getting/got or the bgc 2040 series?
Click to expand...

It's the OVA "ultimate" edition blu-ray set that Animeigo did on kickstarter, IIRC they've started selling some copies outside of kickstarter at the moment, but its at a much higher price point (IIRC the Premium set which was 90/100 on kickstarter is 150).

Thanks for the info :)

Strike Witches Operation Victory Arrow

Pantsu!!!!:D

Oh hell, you wait until the GD lot see pictures for SW...


I'm slowly watching Bubblegum Crisis, subbed for a change (it was one of my first anime and I first saw it dubbed, so I have a soft spot for the dub;)), and loving it.
The HD transfer looks great for the age/type of anime it was, and you can read things like the computer screens if you pause it (things like when Nene accesses the records in episode 4, you can read Gibsons record, which is actually populated with a quote from from a book).
It also makes it something like 4 releases I've now got my name on due to pre-ordering or kickstarting :p
The keyring is really nice, and the patch is lovely, although I'm not too fussed with the coin.
