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

Odd it looks fine in Chrome and IE (although the text on everything looks a little blurry), but in FF it's two lines and the font looks slightly clearer (and weirly, slightly smaller).


Whilst I'm here, Space Dandy collectors edition Blu-ray is currently £30 on Zavvi.
 
It's odd, but enjoyably funny odd.
It suits my (slightly odd) sense of humour, especially when I'm as tired/fed up as I've been the last few days :) (got a cough/cold that's been hanging around for a month, and I'm struggling to sort out my younger brothers PC - I think I'm up to about 18 hours over the last 3 days so far, and probably the same again over the last week).
 
IIRC it's something that some discs are doing now, you need to go into the players menu and change it to the right country/region for the disc (IE if your menu has options for the UK and France, and it's a French disc with the issue set it to France).

It's checking the players own country setting as well as the region code.

I think it's been done to stop Zone A discs from outside of Japan from playing in Japan (because they share a region, it's also checking the country in the player setup).
 
Best anime news of the year so far (and probably for the whole year!), the A anime set on mars with the silly cat looks to be coming back :D

I've been sat here for the last 15 minutes or so with a silly grin on my face since reading that, it's cheered me up massively :) (I've been feeling like something the cat dragged in due to a chest infection).

I may pop the discs in the player in celebration.

Slightly more seriously as much as I love the series one of the reasons I haven't watched it in a while is that I tend not to have much time when I can really concentrate on sub only stuff :(
So often I've got the dub on (at least for the second viewing) whilst I'm doing something else at the same time.

At the moment I've got about 100+ miniatures to get based and prepped for painting so I suspect I'll be half watching/listening to some older titles in my collection whilst I do them (and probably listening to some audio books).
 
I've been watching a few bits recently (Campionne for example), as I've actually had a little time to sit and watch :)

My copy of the Anime Encyclopedia arrived which I'm looking forward to browsing through.

And of interest to anyone with Durarura, Anime Limited have setup a page to request your replacement discs with the fixed subs (I thought my player was dying when I tried to watch it subbed at first).
 
I'm currently watching EF (got the collection last week), which I'm enjoying, and trying to sort out my DVD's a bit again...

I'm torn about what to do with some of them, as they're in nice boxes but I could really save some space if I took them out (normal DVD cases are easy, discs go into a DJ box, covers in a folder, and the case either in the recycling or in the loft depending on type, but the loft is too damp for a nice box.

I've also been fiddling around a bit with Plex and my tablet/fire TV box which is looking to be interesting.
 
I've yet to see the movie, but the series was fun :)

I'm currently watching Toradora which I'm really enjoying (it's slightly different to what I've been watching recently), and very funny at times.

I've also been reading been reading the Spice & Wolf books, having got them all on the shelf but only previously read the first one, by the looks of it book three seems to take it to about the end of the second season if my memory of the anime is correct.
I wish they'd do more anime of it.

memyselfandi, it sounds like the Princess Kaguya are the traditional "burned in" film type which is a shame, given these days they distribute most films digitally to the cinema's you'd have hoped that by now they'd have sorted out a readable sub for the cinema :( (animeago have a great bit on their site explaining why they use the subs they do on their DVD's).
 
Finished Toradora which was really enjoyable
I half expected the cockatoo/budgie/parrot thing to fall over dead more than once:p

I'm not sure if I should try something a little older next, or something new, either way I've got a huge list of things and not enough time without interruption.
 
Paprika is great, it's a great shame that Satoshi Kon died so young :(

I'm looking forward to the second season of Attack on Titan.

RE streaming sites, (reminder to everyone keep it legal!;)), IIRC there is http://www.viewster.com/ who stream some stuff, www.animaxtv.co.uk, and a few others.

The thing is that there will almost always be regional restrictions, and for the better/newer content you'll probably have to pay a sub so they can actually afford to pay for the rights to show it.
A quick google found a page on manga UK's site which has a listing of streaming services here.
 
Re hosting/streaming site, most of the legal ones will have limited content per site as they have to negotiate and pay for the rights.

There is a link to Manga UK's page listing uk streaming sites in my previous post, and without wanting to come over all serious, I would like to remind people of the general site policy on piracy etc, so no links etc to non legal/pirate streaming or download sites for anime.
 
I'm currently watching A certain scientific Railgun, and enjoying it:)

There looks to be a new kickstarter for Otoku no video in the works, as I received an email from Robert Woodhead via KS as a BGC backer, it looks like they're going to go with distribution from within the EU for UK customers to avoid customs chargers this time (so rather than $10 shipping and then the risk of £8 + taxes, it'll be $20 shipping with no taxes).
 
Yeah, but you've probably got better luck than me!

The extra ten dollars works out about half of the tax/handling fee for something at ~$25, and since they changed the import value to £15 it seems I get hit about 60-75% of the time (I've pretty much stopped importing unless the total order is about £100+ because of that).
 
From what I've read elsewhere that is what they're doing, as the extras on the LE were physical rather than disc based.

It makes sense as it's probably cheaper for them to send you a complete set (possibly from the distributor/fufillment centre) than to just send out the discs.

Hopefully I'll get my replacements sent soon as well, as I really enjoyed it but ended up watching the dub (which wasn't bad), as the errors on the subtitles were really annoying me.
