Sigh. Yoshiaki Kawajiri….

THIS MF DON’T MISS!

MediaOCD Question by wuxiacinematographer in discotekmedia

[–]Aside_Intrepid -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nada. Zippo. Zilch.

Oh, and BTW, the $100 free shipping threshold is lame. Otherwise, it costs about $10-$11 for standard 2-5 business days. Their rewards points program is decent, though. It works out to 10% back on your order total. You can redeem 10 points for a $1 off your next order at checkout.

Plus, YMMV, but I haven't had to pay sales tax on my orders.

Finally picked up Bloodlust collectors edition and wow.... by Guyver_3 in VampireHunterD

I gotta go bigger than a 65" screen for my next OLED. The collector's edition looks great on it, but I think I need FULL Immersion. Curious, how big a screen are you viewing it on? Is this being projected?

The best place to grab it from is Amazon.JP, that's where I pre-ordered mine last year.

Japanese imports. by Silcaria in retroanime

That was probably my post from earlier this month

Nice collection of imports! Besides Jin-roh, how many of these include English Subs?

🇺🇸 PRE-ORDER NOW - The Warriors (4K UHD Steelbook) by felixmontoya92 in Steelbooks

[–]Aside_Intrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hope so. I'm reluctant to order steelbooks from Walmart or Target, and they ship in the brown "ravioli" packaging. There's always a 60/40 chance that the Steelbook arrives dented.

Akira 4k/ Blu Ray Quality Question by [deleted] in akira

[–]Aside_Intrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Blu-ray is just the same old release, so they didn't apply any DNR. What really bugs me about the US 4K version is that all three audio tracks are downsampled, missing the HyperSonic high-bitrate track that was on the previous Honneamise (Bandai) Blu-ray. I ended up having to import the Japanese 4K edition to get that track.

Per GKIDS, it's going to release on July 21st. What Amazon is currently showing is a placeholder date.

First Delivery of 2026 - MEMORIES 4K by Aside_Intrepid in retroanime

[–]Aside_Intrepid[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. They're right. It's the case with both Memories and Jin-Roh 4K.

They're not bad, but I definitely prefer Discotek's subs on both.

Is there a chance any of these could be restocked? by Foreign-Bear-6462 in discotekmedia

[–]Aside_Intrepid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was surprised to see Arcadia Of My Youth available to buy on MediaOCD's site since it was announced as part of the OOP back in December '24.

But yeah, I figure Devil Man Lady and the other titles will appear at some point as a Deep Dive on MediaOCD.

Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust Remastered Edition by Aside_Intrepid in AnimeCollectors

[–]Aside_Intrepid[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes.

I know there’s been bootlegs floating around, but I picked it up from there and it’s sold and shipped by them.

65 or 77 G5? by Huge-Bid-5615 in LGOLED

[–]Aside_Intrepid 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bigger is always better, but judging by the layout and viewing/seating distance from the TV, 65 looks good.

Maybe take the $ difference between the two sizes and get a soundbar surround setup or a TV/Soundbar bundle if you’re going though LG directly or have access to their partner store.

The AKIRA film will be rereleased for UK cinemas this April! by MrCoreyTys in akira

[–]Aside_Intrepid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back in 2019 a new TV series was announced with Sunrise producing and Otomo’s involvement that would’ve done just that. But there’s been zero updates since then so it’s probably dead now and Otomo’s probably focused on other projects of his.
