Subete no aware
I was going to post that cap. What a cheap way to show branching paths. lol
And come on, this show will have a happy ending. It's a harem show!
The series is pretty dumb. lol
(Still better than SAO!)

Yeah, this was a really nice first episode. Gave backstory to the main character, gave us a sexy sounding monologue, kept just how nice the world looked throughout it and finally threw back the craziness in action and other characters.
Now, I just want to see more.

Kirito would probably keep his cloak on :/
Though how would that even happen, I cant see a situatiion where Silica, Weaksuna, and Liz are together in one place at the same time.

I guess I'm too hopeful in an ending that goes up in flames.
Agreed that it's still better than SAO.
I disagree. She's alright but she's not great. I'd say that it goes from best to least.

I think I complained about this last week, then they delivered this week, lol. He should do it more often.

Im surprised the Russian commander is on his side, I guess everyone eventually goes the Yuuya way. Otherwise next week needs to hurry the insert song and just that part with the BETA coming from the underground mere km away from the base, and Yuuya in an incomplete TSF will make it so suspenseful

Fellow europeans, any cheap place to buy anime from online? Bluray Dissapearance of Haruhi Suzumiya on ebay is no less than 40 euros. Looked at others, they're always above 30. :/

I think BD Disappearance was Australia only hence the high import prices.
What are you trying to imply?!
I look forward to teh rie domination.
Unfortunately, it never had a release in Europe, so you'll probably have to pay that sort of price if you're set on getting it.

So I still have no clue what is going on in this show, but it remains fun to watch and attractive as well. I was pretty impressed by the score in this ep as well, I don't recall if the original OVA had good music, but I thought the tracks in this one were great. Also, Kugimiya really fits well into this character, maybe because the dialogue isn't her standard schtick.
Looking forward to the next one, I wish I knew what the hell was happening though.

I would say part of the fun of this series is not knowing what the hell is going on.
Maybe the staff just want animate random stuff happening lol.

I wish I could say it's an isolated incident, but chances are, if you're in the UK and buying anime, much of it will be through importing.
We're only really talking the UK here. France and Germany both got it on Bluray.
Anime Blurays sell terribly in the UK. Admittedly, some of this is down to release patterns - who's going to buy a half series collection when we all know a full collection will come out a few months after the second half does - but most of the distributors have stopped doing Blurays for anything other than "sure things".
Xam'd was cancelled on Bluray after the first box because they only sold 500 units, for instance. Haruhi was cancelled at about the same time as K-On and the full boxset of FMA Brotherhood.
Meanwhile, even though you can't buy Kuragehime on Bluray in the UK, our DVD boxset is ten pounds more expensive than the Bluray box from the States. Yaaaaay economic factors!
It depends, and I'm giving a uniquely skewed UK perspective on this whole thing, but apart from the obvious issue of affordability, there is also that of what is available in the first place. Licensing is obviously an issue, and when you get things like Manga UK failing to bring over the second season of K-ON! over, it's hardly encouraging.
As I understand it, France is a huge part of the European Anime market, so I'm guessing they have a slightly wider pool of content.
I only got into watching Anime around a year ago, maybe two at a push, so even going back to relatively new franchises, I'm surprised at just how thin on the ground they are. Like BluWacky has just mentioned, we even struggle to get BR's of the big titles.

It really depends where you live. In some big anime crazy country like France it's probably pretty easy to get anime but when you live in some small country like me (Finland) it's pretty damn difficult as the market is so small for anime.
Yeah thats kind of fucked. I guess I am pretty fortunate that we get the stuff we do over here. I have quite a growing collection of BLuray anime sets already. Not sure how much it sells here but its apparently enough to keep companies afloat. Even got blurays of TWGOK S1 and S2 so that was a nice surprise.

Considering that's all I know about Magi, so maybe?
It was still tagged on there sorry.
By the way, what company is making these?

And particularly this one?

As it should be.
All of them are by BanPresto - they're part of their "BanPre ManiaX" range.
Do they have a different label that they sell these figures? I havent heard of Banpresto.

UK stilll gets anime that we dont have, or at least better releases, like the Bakuman dub and blu ray :/
The Us just seems to get simultaneous releases with both in one set. thats not how the UK does it?
I'm still mad that they get The Tatami Galaxy and we don't
Klein was... a bit more sinister back in the day.
(spoilers) And Kirito was just a Squall clone, who woulda thought

BDs only went on sale for the first time last week. We were still selling releases on VHS till 2010.
WHAAAAAAT THEEEEEE FFFFFUUUUUUU
Really? Banpresto are a pretty famous toy company. They're a Bandai subsidiary if that helps?
Will we still get the dub? I don't know how it works - was the dub handled separately from Media Blasters's release in the USA? Anyway, still no sign of Bakuman actually being release over here.
Not normally, no, they're released separately (we mostly only get DVD releases). For live action films we frequently get DVD and Bluray in the same box, but not for regular TV series or anything anime.
Be even madder at the Ozzies - they get Tatami Galaxy, Dennou Coil AND Kaiba, the holy trifecta of Madhouse anime I want! None of them are on Bluray, though.
Pretty much my reaction if the second half had been bolded instead.
