Macross Frontier - Impressions
Thursday, June 19th, 2008It 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.

Collection: Part 1 - R2J Anime
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Right, 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 [...]
First Impressions: Lucky Star Volume 1 (LE)
Thursday, June 28th, 2007I’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. The main issue concerns problems with fine, straight lines (especially with hairlines.) I’ll post some picture example later. I do [...]
Haruhi in top sellers list
Friday, June 15th, 2007I thought this was fairly notable: as at June 15th, Haruhi Volume 1 (LE) was sitting pretty at #11 at DVDPacific.com
Nice to see such a quality title doing well. Volume 2 (LE) is also sitting at #11 in the top 20 pre-orders.
Lucky Star - 10
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Lucky Star Episode 10
Lucky Star has (so far) been one of the most consistent series I can recall. I’ve enjoyed — and laughed through — every episode. Number 10 is no exception, indeed it’s one of the funniest yet. My favorite moment would probably be the Lucky Channel segment, in which Minoru gets very, very [...]
Shana DS - First Impressions
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Shakugan no Shana DS - First Impressions
So, last night I finally sat down and had a crack at Shana DS and was left a little underwhelmed by the experience.
The bulk of the game (the "Adventure" mode) consists of reading lots (lots) of text and occasionally being presented with a choice in what to say next. [...]
Shakugan no Shana DS
Friday, April 6th, 2007Shana DS rocked up yesterday so I thought I’d post a few pictures of the box and manual, along with a couple of (poorly taken) screenshots. I haven’t had any time to sit down with the game yet, but when I do I’ll be posting some thoughts.

CDJapan Order Arrives - Kiminozo 5 & 6; Kanon (2006) 2 & 3
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2007My 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. [...]
Shakugan no Shana 24 [Final]
Monday, March 26th, 2007Shakugan no Shana - Episode 24
After having the episodes sitting around for months, I finally sat down and watched the rest of Shana over the weekend — I’d stopped at episode 16 for some now forgotten reason but once I started watching again found myself unable to stop. Despite having some familiar issues with unresolved [...]

First Kanon and Last Haruhi arrive
Friday, February 9th, 2007The rather spiffy looking first volume of Kanon (2006 version) and the 7th and final volume of Haruhi found their way into my mailbox. Looking forward to getting back into Kanon especially; hopefully there will be some DVD-only additions.
