Thank you for the report, time travel agent Funaceface. I hope 2004 is treating you well.

That is pretty neat for real though. Of the 4 malls near me, 2 are abandoned, 1 remodeled to close off the inside walkways and all the stores open to the outdoors now, and 1 is open but has like 30% of the customers that it did ten years ago.

The city I live in is like 70% white flight boomers from Toronto so the malls here still prosper. Its also why I was kind of shocked to see a manga/anime store. Wouldnt think there would be enough of a customer base here to pull that off.

And yes I opted to pick up my copy and not have it delivered. It was a good excuse to get out for a bit on a day off, especially before the snow starts falling and the temperature hits -30. :v:

Ok! So once again thank you to everyone who gave recommendations.

I wasn't able to find the retail blu rays of everything on popular ecommerce website Amazon dot com (especially some older stuff) but here is a list of all the legitimately owned blu rays I bought (or plan to buy once they are released commercially) and several of these are actual recommendations made by you guys:



The image above is super high res so you can open it further for great detail.

I ask you fine people, WHAT GEMS ARE STILL MISSING FROM THIS CATALOG THANK YOU I LOVE YOU ALL ^_^ <3

And again, this is the list of stuff I've watched so far:

Btw kinda random but I finished Tower of God and thought it was... not very good? Is the manga better? The early episodes were pretty dope, and the premise is cool, but it definitely started to lose its way partway through the anime at least, imo.

March Comes in Like a Lion, Hellsing Ultimate, Durarara.

Does the Adachi & Shimomura anime have a proper ending or is it another 'read the LN/manga' affair?

The latter, though I didn't even realize it wasn't a full adaptation until the colonel pointed it out to me afterwards.

oh it's not in that sense i just mean only the side girls are banging by the end the anime just only adapts like a couple volumes of an ln with like... 14+? adashima would work if it was like a much longer form adaptation but it's not a good fit for a single 13 ep cour

Any other good yuri shows come out in the last couple of years? Anything older I've probably already seen.

I got Durarara!

Am I to understand that Hellsing Ultimate is essentially a series of OVAs? Just having a slight bit of trouble understanding if it's a seasonal series or like... a series of short movies...

Oh and I do have March Comes in on the screenshot, definitely looking forward to watching it. Thank you for the recs!

Is there an english dub? I do prefer dubs (sorry everyone probably hates me now hah) but this show seems old so I'm guessing if it does have a dub, it's probably bad?

Fruits Basket got a full reboot/remake in 2019 that covered the entire manga rather than just the first third or so, and it's incredible quality. Might be worth going for rather than the original Fruits Basket anime.

Oh actually I don't know which it is, the album art might be messed up. Is this the original version or the 2019 version?

2019, the art’s a lot better looking for one thing. Also unlike Brotherhood or the current Shaman King reboot, the Fruits Basket remake doesn’t really rush through the beginning sections all that much from what I can tell (I’m currently going through it for the first time myself)

man I hope that gridman/dynazenon collab for al is happening in the west. I mean there's not much reason it wouldn't, but there's a few that I would've expected to happen in other games that didn't (like the batman sinoalice one hasn't been confirmed yet)

Yes. It's 10 episodes but iirc they're all around an hour long. Each covers one volume of the manga.

Kaiji was never dubbed, unfortunately. And don't worry about mentioning dubs here. Most folks don't care.
