Speaking of affordable british anime blurays, dunno if this has already been posted. If play.com ship to you and you like the Persona 4 anime (this may have limited this to no one):
http://www.play.com/DVD/Blu-ray/4-/36734080/0/Persona-4-The-Animation-Box-1/ListingDetails.html
Seems cheap, dunno how many episodes it is though, probably half?

It's what I've been reduced to: an old man filled with regret.There's nothing more pathetic than bragging about having someone on ignore.

It's the English dub only. (on the bluray)
No JP audio track.

I remember reading somewhere that wouldn't be the case for the UK release for some silly reason.It's the English dub only. (on the bluray)
No JP audio track. (on the bluray)
you need to get back to recording some video's then!It's what I've been reduced to: an old man filled with regret.
The UK edition is in three separate sets. The prices won't work out all that dissimilar in the end, but the rest are to be released in the new year, so there is that to consider too.
Does that Madoka image suggest what I think it does?Shit.
An old man and his love for Anime and Hiking Arizona...wtf am I watching, wonzo?
I had that in my above post, but amended it for fear that they had for (whatever reason) reversed the decision. Good to hear that's not the case!
Nah, it's a matter of the region locking of the discs (Japan and the US both share Region A).Weird and interesting. Guess it was enough time away to have it?

So I am currently watching Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, Magi, Shin Sekai Yori, and Zetsuen no Tempest of the shows airing this season, and Revolutionary Girl Utena for older shows. And I just finished watching Natsume Yuujinchou San and will be picking up the next season soon.
Any recommendations for standout shows this season that I'm not watching?
I think they've pretty much given up on that outside of Aniplex at this stage.You'd think that their pricing model is enough of a deterrent.
No probs~I've never imported from Europe (only Japan), so this explains a lot. Thanks!
lolK is worth checking out. It stands out visually
Hopefully the series narrative continues to be as strong as this arc, especially in terms of tone and flow. They really nailed it here. Even if the entire remaining series sucks, at least we got 2 episodes of the Kouga Arc done well! Lol, lowered expectations.![]()
Infinite Stratos is one of the worst things ever inflicted upon the world by Japan. I'm glad the light novels were cancelled.
Speaking of Hanazawa characters, look whats shipped on its way to my house:

PRAISE THE LORD
Please tell that to index corporationThat's a rather bizarre decision. Like being back in the VHS days.
Good news for me i guess ?
They can ..i'm still not happy about how they handled the first dongeon..Well next arc is probably going to get similar treatment and than we have plenty of time for Balbadd, they can't mess this up from now on... can they?
Also dat Paimon and dat djinn equip. I'm betting Volume 13's cover will be shown earlier in dat scene.
Infinite Stratos being canceled was only a setback, Yumizuru Izuru's new weapon After School Battle is unleashed!
Same illustrator as well obviously... Also dat Charlotte figure is godlike Cajun.

Maybe this time the author will provide some decent vilain for his plot ..
This is true ..but having enough time and space doesn't mean that they will correctly adapt everything that matters in that arc ( including the flashbacks )They pretty much butchered the dungeon arc to provide enough time for Balbadd, Magi's 26 episodes IIRC so they'll have 19 episodes to cover it which is more than enough. That's a little under 2.5 chapters an episode, which is much better than the dungeon arc which stuffed 16 chapters into 3 episodes.
Trully the part the anime adapted well ...But the main MC's denseness was an awesome villain for the plot of selecting a girl, unbeatable.
This was a very well done episode ..the contrast light/heavy was exploited as much as they could ( sunny in first part / cloudy-thunder heavy in the second ) now , we enter into a great arc , if not the greatest arc of the Hxh franchiseHunter x Hunter 54

Well the whole first part of the episode was so awesome. Kurapika just smiling all huge and stuff after being all depressed at the hilarious antics of Killua/Gon. I had to rewatch that part as it was just so good seeing them all happy like throwing pies, too bad Gon never got one in. Should have made it longer. They do them so well animated. And for Gon and Killua the Hunterpedia was hilarious.
[Shin Sekai yori]
Pretty big ones, here, though. For example, the manga's version of the recent developments:no info dump about the old world or genetic manipulations at all, no monk showing up, the kids don't lose their powers, they're attacked by the foreign bakenezumi but are not separated, they all reach Squealer's colony together...
So.. you enjoying it or not?Someone asked me here (in my house) what was Hyouka about...
Since they don't know the concept of slice-of-life, I just said "It's a show about nothing. There's no objective, just character interaction. Basically, a emulation of real life. The difference is that sometimes, mysteries shows up and make the characters interact to solve them".
I was thinking about that... maybe it being like real life is what drives me back from the genre SOL. Life is boring as fuck (and I'm a person who do a lot of different things, I am sociable, etc), so, when I come to watch anime, I usually try to go away from reality. That's why many SOL actually are boring for me... it's only when they introduce elements that are impossible in real life that I can appreaciate them a bit more.
About Hyouka themes, like I've said, I think it tried to portrait a lot of things, most of them not being really interesting to me... I don't even know how I made it to the end. The mysteries were interesting at the start, but the character interaction to solve them was probably the real reason.
Satoshi and Mayaka romance problem was secondary, but I enjoyed it being solved in the end (or at least implied). Oreki starting to appreciate life a bit more was nice too. Oreki making a bad judgement. Them discovering the history of the festival. The festival. These were the good parts for me.
Chitanda was my main dissapointment. I don't like her character, I appreciate he creates the drive the others need to interact, but as a person, she's so unbelievable annoying and boring. Good thing she actually wasn't the focus of the show most of the time.
I can't really recommend this show to anyone who doesn't appreciate slow shows about no specific theme. It's no entry show too.
