Industry News: MCM London Comic Con May 2018 Announcements Round-up

Last weekend MCM London Comic Con returned to London and to everyone's surprises the announcements this time were an improvement to last year (well for the most part). There's no Manga UK news as they decided to make their announcements at their own pace so here's a round-up of what Anime Limited and MVM Entertainment have revealed for the United Kingdom & Ireland.

Industry News: Discotek Media July 2018 Release Slate + Momocon License Announcements

Discotek went all-out during the Momocon convention with some very exciting license announcements.

This post will also cover the announcements with release dates set for July 2018.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks September 2018 Release Slate

Sentai brings us Princess Principal as the next limited edition set, while also bringing back Negima! plus Maiden Japan have two titles to offer.

Unboxing [UK]: Chaos;Child - Limited Edition (PS4 + Visual Novel)

Another visual novel joins the collection after quite sometime. This time I managed to find a copy of the limited edition artbook release in GAME for a bargain of £9.99. This set was fairly rarer than the other titles due to not that many retailers stocking it (I would say it's GAME exclusive but the others ended up on other retailers in the end).

Unboxing [JP]: Another Century's Episode: R (PS3)

We have ourselves another import order, except this game was supposed to arrive last month but got misplaced with Strider Hiryu instead. Thanks to my recent order on Gundam UC I was able to receive this game alongside it.

Unboxing [JP]: Mobile Suit Gundam UC - Standard Edition (PS3)

We have ourselves another import order. This time I decided to go after another Gundam game since I finished playing Side Stories earlier this month.

Industry News: Crunchyroll x Funimation August 2018 Release Slate

Well now. They went all-out with this release slate. Seriously we have a ton of titles included and a fair amount are even re-releases of all things. Been a while since we have seen a re-release.

Industry News: UK Anime Release Schedule for May 2018

Time for the next batch of anime releases. Now since the last update there has been a number of push-backs so most of the new additions are set for the end of the month in preparation for MCM Comic Con over in London.

This May 2018 release slate for the UK features BLAME!, Girlish Number, Lupin the Third Part IV, Mobile Suit Gundam the Origin, Sword Art Online the Movie -Ordinal Scale- and more.

Otaku Collection 2018: April Update | MOAR JAPANESE GAME IMPORTS feat. two other titles

So April has been a rather weird month for me. Not only have I been going through some personal stuff (interview & driving test), I also received a bit more funds than the usual and decided to go on another PlayStation 3 spree.

Unboxing [JP]: Strider Hiryu (PS3)

Arriving on the same day as Gundam Side Stories, this is actually the misplaced item. However, after getting in contact with customer services they decided to let me keep it (probably wasn't cost effective for either of us). Regardless this is a pretty good game from what I have heard so here we go.

Unboxing [UK]: ERASED - Part 2: Collector's Edition (BD/DVD)

It's been 8 months since Anime Limited first released the first half of ERASED and now the second half finally arrives. Is it worth the wait?

There will be spoilers for the events of what has happened throughout all of the series so be warned.

Overview [JP]: Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme Vs. (PS3)

Time for a throwback item (aka overview). Back in October 2014 I acquired my first non-Musou Gundam game on eBay and I didn't unbox it for my blog at the time (it wasn't until I received Initial D Extreme Stage that I decided to include games to the mix).

Here's an overview of the original release of Extreme Versus!

Unboxing [JP]: Mobile Suit Gundam Side Stories (PS3)

My recent haul from Solaris Japan once again hits some unfortunate situations. My copy of Another Century's Episode R got mixed up with a different item (Capcom's Strider remake) but I got Gundam Side Stories at least correctly.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks August 2018 Release Slate

Sentai brings us their very first limited edition release of a film, plus we also have another limited edition set for a series.

Industry News: Discotek Media June 2018 Release Slate

Discotek returns with the anticipated Bananya release and a couple more older anime receive Blu-ray releases.

This post will cover the announcements with release dates set for June 2018.
