Random Topic: Round-Up of Spring 2016's Legal Anime UK Streaming List

This is probably the first season where the UK & Ireland nearly got every single anime simulcast without any silly region restrictions. Granted we did lose out on two major shows but overall this was a strong season plus we are even introduced to Funimation's new UK service which is a bonus.

Here's a list of all of the titles made available for UK & Ireland legal streaming from March to June 2016.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks October 2016 Release Slate

Sentai continues to add more of their simulcasts in home release form alongside a re-release and a catalogue title.

Here's the list of anime that Sentai Filmworks have scheduled for the month of October 2016.

Industry News: Funimation September 2016 Release Slate

I know this is a week late but a lot of things had happened so you just had to bear with me on this. Anywho this month sees the return of the SOS Brigade crew in addition to more newcomers from the Winter and Spring 2015 seasons.

Here's the list of anime that Funimation have scheduled for the month of September 2016.

Unboxing [US]: Nekomonogatari White - Tsubasa Tiger: Limited Edition (Blu-ray)

It's been a while since I picked up an Aniplex of America set. But now I decided to go ahead and pickup the Monogatari Second Season sets one by one, starting with the first arc featuring Tsubasa Hanekawa.

Here's a look at what the set has to offer.

Blog News: Just a random update

Hey everyone, I figured an update post was in order for my blog. This is something that I haven't honestly done for a while now so here it is.

Industry News: Aniplex of America A-Kon 2016 Announcements

Just when I thought there wouldn't be any more news from Aniplex for a while, they ended up unveiling two more titles getting English releases from A-Kon 2016.

Here's the small list of titles Aniplex are planning on releasing over the course of the late-Summer/Autumn 2016 season.

Unboxing: Clannad - Kickstarter Exclusive Limited Edition (Visual Novel)

Back in 2014 a company called Sekai Project acquired the rights to release the popular visual novel Clannad to English fans. Later that year they put the game on Kickstarter to allow fans to help bring it over to the west. It was successful and I pledged a good amount for the physical copy (which upgraded to a special set) as well as the Clannad: Hikari Mimamoru Sakamichi de side stories and the Anthology Comic. The game was released on Steam in November 2015.

However folks (like myself) who backed the kickstarter but lived outside of United States and Canada received a 4 month delay due to shipping and customs, after its release in February 2016. And now it's finally here, alongside the extras I pledged which also helps.

This game is and has always been rated All-Ages so it's a suitable visual novel for everyone.

Otaku Collection 2016: March/April/May Update | More Alchemists, More Parts, More Games

he second instalment of my Otaku Collection 2016 update! Well it's a month late than originally planned but I like to keep consistent with the first day of each month so here it is finally. I will try and bring out the next update within 2 months hopefully this time around. For this update I continue to pickup more Funiplex sets (that's Aniplex titles licensed by Funimation), finally more Anime Limited sets and also some games!

So here's the items I picked up during March, April and May 2016.

Industry News: MCM London Comic Con (May 2016) Announcements (Part 2)

Industry News: Aniplex of America ACen 2016 + May 2016 Announcements

Unboxing [US]: Robotics;Notes - Part 2 (BD/DVD)

It's been 2 years since I picked up the first half of this series. Now I finally bought it after Robert's Anime Corner Store put the item on a clearance sale for $20, due to the upcoming S.A.V.E. release.

Here's a look at the second half of the series.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks September 2016 Release Slate

Sentai is going through a rather small slate this time around, at least we have some TBS shows getting Blu-ray releases!

Here's the list of anime that Sentai & Maiden Japan have scheduled for the month of September 2016.

Industry News: Funimation August 2016 Release Slate

After July's massacre of re-releases, this month is probably the strongest line-up this year. Granted limited edition collector's will be disappointed as only 1 show is getting the treatment but there's a ton of English dubbed titles on this list.

And yes, Barakamon is finally getting a release.

Here's the list of anime that Funimation have scheduled for the month of August 2016.

Unboxing [US]: Tales of Xillia - Standard Edition (PS3)

So after finally getting around to Tales of Graces f, the next game I wanted to get in the Tales franchise was Xillia. While UK copies are still around I wanted the set to match Graces f as the spines look pretty cool in my opinion. Unfortunately the game, while still available in the US, is not that import friendly on Amazon. Luckily I was able to grab a copy on eBay for a good price (cheaper than Graces f in fact) and best of all, it was from a UK seller so that's a bonus.
