Okay, so I'm trying my best to understand what all this release is going to contain. I'm supposing the "Ultimate Cut" is the 2d Blu-disc. What cuts then, are on the; - 4K disc, and - 3D disc? I'm sure all will be revealed as time passes and don't wish to be impatient but if that info is already known, I missed it somehow...😉

Thanks for the "Cats Eye" unboxing @stanleydobson! I have not seen the series but looks like fun! I'll need to research that one, heh. Oh, btw, I LOVE your You-tube channel introduction! Looks great! 😀 Cheers!

Interesting choices. Definitely some to keep an eye on! 🙂

Hello again my friends! Well done on the recent pick-ups @DarthEd! I've been eying "The Boy and the Beast" myself and may grab a copy in the near future. Of course "Samurai Champloo" is a certified classic and after I watch the dvd collection of it I purchased dirt cheap from a friend, I may send the dvds to my Daughter and grab the Blu. As for older titles recently purchased; VERY happy to mention I received the Complete Collection of "Log Horizon" today ($33usd from Amazon.com, now back up to $86). I was a bit concerned when I first unwrapped it that they would be stacked discs, as the amaray case is actually quite thin. Thankfully, each disc (x6) was on a flipper leaf and the hubs actually are quite good at securing the Blus (no dvds in case). No slip but I don't mind, it's the discs that matter and all are blemish free. As an aside; Just wanted to quickly mention, I received my "The Exorcist" 15" Regan Doll today in perfect condition via Import_CDs (pics previously posted in the "New Anime" thread). It's big, really big and has 6 voiced statements on the press of a button at the back. The voice sounds exactly like Mercedes McCambridge (the actress who did the Demon's voice) from the film, quite an accomplishment in a doll! A tad pricey ($100Cdn) but I am a collector so had to have it...😉 It sits downstairs in my theatre with my other collectibles, I don't want that thing anywhere near my bedroom! Cheers! 🙂

Hello again my Anime Loving Friends! @extantsrevenge, @DarthEd, @Hatori, @stanleydobson and all others! Well, I managed to hold off long enough on the new purchases, then went quite NUTS this week-end...🤯 Right Stuf was advertising the new Aniplex re-release for Black Butler S-1 (ep 1-24) due for release near end Jan '19. It will be a Collector's Edition box set with assorted 'shiny 'naff included. Price is $149usd on sale from $189usd. Now, I've been researching the Black Butler series for a while now and it certainly intrigued me. Once I was able to figure out which bloody title was which season (courtesy of Wiki) I elected to dive in head first and ordered them ALL. S-1: CE Box (ep 1-24) S-2: (ep 25-36 + 6 OVA) S-3: (Book of Circus, ep 37-46) Book of Murder: (2 OVA) Book of The Atlantic: (anime film) Fortunately, ALL of them (except S-1) were on sale for 50% off, otherwise I doubt I would have pulled the trigger. I'd be interested to hear if any of you fine folk have viewed this series? I don't mind saying, the reason I've held off this long for them, is because the artwork on the covers, with Ceil (12 years old) and his Butler Sebastian, were giving me a creepy pedophilic vibe but in conversations with others, I've been assured there is none in the story (thank goodness!). Cheers! 😀

Thanks much for the info @45Caliber I was in fact aware of that, from previous purchases. It still looks like a pretty cool release though, so I still have interest in a GB. Ever since Target pulled out of Canada, they've had a real hate on for shipping anything to us and Blus they won't even consider, sigh. Ah, well...🙂

Hi @DarthEd, happy to hear you scored The Big O. Sad about Gatchaman... I just did a quick look around and it now seems to be sold out dang near everywhere! Amazon.ca (Canada) has it but it's going for $139Cdn, which is I'm sure more than you are willing to pay. Worry not my friend, I'm confident it will come back in stock! When... is of course the big question. 😉

^^ I made a request in the appropriate GB suggestion thread. 🙂

Is there any way those of us not living in the USA might obtain a copy of this? 🙂 (as in, maybe a mini-GB???) 😉

Hi @ksosk! So when the covers get approved (I'm confident they will) I'm sure you will let us know. Is it THEN that we can/should update our request (i.e. order one of each type?) or should we say so now? Ta! 🙂

Hi my Anime Loving Brethren @extantsrevenge, @Hatori, @DarthEd, et al...; OOPS! you mis-read my last acquisition post my dear friend @extantsrevenge! It was not LotGH I purchased, it was "Legend of the Legendary Heroes" so um yeah, $28Cdn vice $800usd, heh heh. It's a shame the titles are so closely matched, easy oops to make. 🙂 I may still decide to get the LotGH set but not right now, as family Christmas gift purchases have priority right now. In the New Year, I may have enough coin once more to consider it! For similar reason, I've tried to hold off on more new anime as of late. A few folk other than ME to make happy right now. 😉 I do hope you folk have managed to score some nice deals from the many sites offering them. It is at least, the best time of year to go sale hunting. I'll probably come across one or two I "just can't refuse" heh, we'll see... Cheers!

Um, @extantsrevenge my friend, the post I submitted above this one is still "hidden" for some reason (there's nothing in it to cause that, I could determine?). When you get a chance, could you have a look and either A.) unlock it and/or B.) tell me what I wrote to cause this? Ta buddy! 🙂 Oh! almost forgot to mention... As I mentioned previous, I was about to purchase a new digital camera so I could finally start submitting photos. Well, my Son-in-Law mentioned in an email over the week-end that they ( my Daughter and Son-in-Law) are sending me one for Christmas so I'm NOT to buy one, heh heh. So, At least at that time, I can finally join the 21st Century and send pics to this great Forum of all my treasures! Cheers! 😀

Well, I've been watching Anime a lot longer than I've been buying Anime, as when my daughter was growing up I would sit with her and watch all the great shows that were available on YTV in the '90s. So I'll just mention 5 titles I've purchased recently and really loved (in no real order); - GitS (ALL of the analogues, as well as main feature) - Hellsing (Ultimate) (probably my #1) - SBY 2199 - Cowboy Bebop - Outlaw Star - Others... - Special mention for NGNL:Zero (oh man, so many feels...) 🙂

Hi @extantsrevenge, @DarthEd, @Hatori and all other Anime loving Folks! Thanks much for your replies! Well, I pulled the trigger and bought "Legend of the Legendary Heroes" so, I'll of course give my impressions on it once I've watched it. 🙂 I've been watching for a Box-set of "Elfen Lied" on sale for a nice price ANYWHERE (I'm Region Free) but no joy. I may just elect to purchase the reg ed. for now as I've been waiting far too long to grab this and perhaps buy the Spec ed. dvd box (that is pretty cheap on EBay) and just put the Blus inside it. I've done that before with other nice sets. So VERY VERY happy I grabbed "Log Horizon" (complete set for $33 usd) when I did! It has jumped back up to $130 usd on Amazon! "Death Note" Reg ed. (anime, not the LA) is on sale right now for $18usd at Amazon.com right now, which is a great price but the Omega Spec ed. is only $36usd so may jump on that. 😉 I see on another forum, some folk are starting to receive their "Patlabor Ultimate" sets. Hope mine is in the pipe. I had to re-order it from Amazon.com a couple of weeks ago as Amazon.ca CANCELLED my order, where they stated they could not secure sufficient copies. I'm a bit bitter about that but whatever... I received my Metropolis Steel from Amazon.com after Amazon.ca pulled the same stunt then wouldn't ya know, 2 days ago my Amazon.ca Steel showed up after all! At TOM, I see my "Jalter" (Joan D'Arc/Alternate) FGO figure is closed to orders! This really surprised me, as I thought the high price ($213usd) would intimidate folk but I guess there's a LOT of folk with deep pockets out there that are Hard-Core, Fate: Grand Order (FGO) players! I think that's it for news folks! Cheers!

I voted for Plain Archive for the following reasons; - they do not put out a lot of releases but the ones they do are usually top tier exceptional in quality - it can be a bit tricky on occasion scoring one of their more coveted releases (so relatively rare) - majority of their releases have high resale value (if you discover a certain film/release is not to your personal taste) - their selected titles are usually far from the norm (i.e. they don't jump on the "superhero bandwagon"), and - they are 'distinct' such as inclusion of their reputable 'PA tag' so, there is no doubt where the release was purchased from. note: we will need to determine if inclusion of "Plain Selective" titles are to be included. I would vote YES to that! 🙂
