It took me a long time to start watching this (no, no idea why) but once a started it was difficult to stop. The worst part is that I grew used to having several episodes on hand to watch at any given time, but now I’ve caught up with the subbers it means patiently waiting.

Right, I have a new (-ish) camera to play around with, so I’ve decided to re-do the shots of my various collections. First cab off the rank (and hopefully not the last) is my Japanese (Region 2) Anime DVD collection, now housed snugly in the protective confines of this freshly fixed-up cabinet (I still have [...]

I’m a little disappointed with this disc so far: the package itself is excellent, but the video quality is much lower than I expected for a disc containing only two episodes and very few extras.

I thought this was fairly notable: as at June 15th, Haruhi Volume 1 (LE) was sitting pretty at #11 at DVDPacific.com

My order for the next two discs of Kanon was bulked up by the addition of volumes 5 & 6 of Kiminozo — which I’d somehow neglected to collect previously (my collection up till now consisting of Volumes 1 through 4 along with 7.) Pleasingly, Volume 5 of Kanon came with a bonus Ayu figurine. [...]
