VHS on sale isnt a huge surprise.
I just cant believe the UK would go through an entire HD videogame generation without selling the blurays that play on it. Like, how did that work? People bought a UK Ps3 and couldnt even watch native blurays on it?

That's because it's not true.

Thankfully nothing beyond the newest episode, I guess. but Kirito seems more sociable in game than what I guess I expected his offline self to be.
I wish anime would backstory his life or something, flashbacks or something...

You've never heard of Banpresto? I thought they were pretty big in the figure world. The Mio and Ritsu figures I have are from them.

Thats a shame. Every anime I find on ebay are very expensive. :/
I honestly only have figures from a short list of companies.
Off the top of my head:
Alter
Good smile Co
Kotobukiya
Freeing
CM's Corp
Very little from any other.
Im sure others exist but Im not really aware of them.
Kinda already got one with Kuroyukihime. And it was glorious.

I like how the description of him being a nice, laid-back dude is the same when he looks like he's about to brutally murder someone.
Well that was because it actually existed in LN form. IIIRC, there's no swimsuit SS for SAO, which is why I don't want one.

But in any case, judging from what I've got from them, Banpresto makes some good shit.

I know many are happy the exam arc is over, and I'll agree that it was time. Still, there is a sort of tension I miss having which was present at the end of episodes in the last arc.

I'm curious to see all of NASA's reasons for choosing Mutta. As Fukuda seemed to imply, they likely see his leadership skills. Out of all the teams, A was the only who seemed to leave as a team. Then there's the rock/paper/scissors, at first glance it may seem silly. However, in space a situation may occur where one crew member may need to be sacrificed in order to ensure the remaining crew arrives home safely. While an unlikely scenario, what would be the fairest method to decide who would potentially live and die? As a non-expert, that's how view it.

Seeing you do this daily is fascinating to me. I'm intrigued to see what you feel about the series a few months from now and if you can keep up the 1 a day pace when some crazy cliffhangers show up.
I'll have to check them out.
What other companies make animu figures of infinite happiness and joy?

Well, you probably know more about anime figures than I do based on the size of each of our collections, which is why I was surprised earlier. I've never heard of Freeing, or CM's Corp.

The UK company that did them went bust. As for the US release I don't get why they bother.Still very sour over the lack of FMA Brotherhood BDs in the UK
WHY STOP AT VOL 2? WHY REGION LOCK THE NA BDs?
Fuck you ANIPLEX (or whoever publishes them).
Japan is the same region anyway. And UK importation is hardly a concern. (local sets are usually cheaper)

Oh boy.
I have a feeling I'll get a bit depressed once the school festival is over.
And once again coincidences that aren't really coincidences (because Houtarou's sister is clearly a criminal mastermind and everyone is just acting according to her mysterious plans) start tying seemingly unrelated plotlines together.
Also: c'mon, Mayaka.

So with the One Piece game coming at the end of the month, I probably need to catch up with the latest episodes. A total of 200 episodes lol.
He doesn't look that different. I think Dark Yugi underwent a bigger change. From a midget Hyde in the original series to a taller more heroic Yugi in the Yu-Gi-Oh that became popular.

Hmm... still fun to watch, but seemed lacking the strengths of the previous episodes.

I think I disliked how the shrine is such a cool setting, yet they were stuck in the shed for half the episode. Hence I loved the first half of the episode but only liked the Houtarou/Eru stuff from the latter half.
Nah uk anime is deader than dead here, we fucked we don't even get the good animes here.
-I Shit you not One piece hasn't even been licensed here, yes I found this out not to long ago shocking, it's funny how you can go to stores like uniqlo get a one piece shirt & jumpers but not the anime in dvd stores.
-There is no Hajime no ippo(fighting spirt) here, What sort of a country do we bloody live in, that we let all this poison across the boarder but not get the antidote.
-No Hunter x hunter- yep it's odd it's like those anime licensing company's are actively trying to kill us and our children by bringing us crap like hurhi instead of the greats.
I demand we ban anime in the uk, it's not like we would be losing anything, I think am going to tell my local mp about it and send him a copy of some shitty moe anime like hurhi am sure that will get the house of commons buzzing with outrage.
You do seem to get some exclusive anime shows, though.

I need to find the playable character list, I dont think I saw nothing on the game beyond just the first video and what not, I hope Fire Fist Ace is!
Thats so odd, the stuff is licensed, and I think UK gets the one piece games and even a special edition for the newest one piece, but no anime?
At least Bleach and Naruto Shippuden are there.
We are home to the second biggest number of UniQlo stores outside of Japan. Muji is also extremely common. Yo! Sushi is a British chain. Banzai dates back to the 90s and is a mock Japanese TV show. SuperDry is a British fashion chain which wishes it was Japanese. Apparently Britain loves Japan, but hates anime and manga. It's very strange.

Britain just hates themselves.
I think that applies to basically every country that isn't France.

Hyouka Episode 20
Y'know if Eru and Houtarou were that concerned about it, what they probably could've done was just
Or something.
Anyhow pretty decent episode. I wish the episode showed more of the New Years festivities though. I really loved the setting too as the show definitely benefits from have a change of scenery. I appreciate how well the episode portrayed how cold it was and I believe the character movements and body language attributed to that very much. It's a small thing but it's something that Hyouka does so damn well. The whole
revelation was pretty brilliant I have to admit but overall I kinda felt this episode was pretty weak compared to the rest. It was still enjoyable and judging by the preview I'm really curious to see what happens next.
Y'know if Eru and Houtarou were that concerned about it, what they probably could've done was just
have one of them yell for help and have the other person hide so that people wouldn't get the wrong idea. Since the shed was so dark anyways the other person would be hard to see. I doubt whoever would be opening the door for them would be so concerned to think there would be another person inside to actively look around the shed too. Then once the other person was out they could come back or have someone else open the door for the other person.
Or something.

Sappy New Years indeed.
Not a bad episode. Being in a shrine was a nice new place to visit and see the KyoAni magic worked on it. The mystery of this week was ok, plenty of other methods of solving it but

Mass effect paragon lost new trailer
Liked the visuals for the Asari action as well as the explosion. Is that Anderson's voice?

All I need.
"At the time I thought I was making the right decision..." I bet that's what Funimation are saying too.
it's still odd how boa hancock made it into the game over the more awesome characters like the great buggy senchou, crocodile, enel,ivan kov and mothafucken Kizaru The Don.
Not that I was ever going to buy the game, I don't care about masou games.

Similar sentiments, Dickson.
I'd only bother with the game if it had some playable villains on the list.
