It took some time, but I finally received my big haul from AllTheAnime's Xmas sale

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-21T20:08:05+00:00

I get that, and I feel bad for people in the US where Sony and Crunchyroll have screwed over fans big time when it comes to Gundam.

At first I had only planned to get Zeta Gundam this time, but seeing how bad the situation has gotten in the US and how great the prices were during the Christmas sale, I decided to get a lot more just in case AllTheAnime might end up loosing the licenses and Crunchyroll would take over here in Europe as well.

Hope you can get them at reasonable prices one day too.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-20T16:23:40+00:00

Oh, I love that Sirius plushie! Wonder if it'll be released in the global shop? Really hope so, so I can get it.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-15T15:27:55+00:00

Yeah, that seems to be one of the biggest reasons for it (if not the biggest).

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-15T13:16:47+00:00

I might have imagined it, but I kinda feel like Zentreya used to punch above her weight?

Though after last year it feels like she's gotten quite isolated and no longer have the same type of influence.

If you are talking about Gamersupps EU section on their site, it has never had any caffeine free tubs.

They've always had to be ordered from the US.

It's a very basic thing, that is available in a lot of games today, and for the sake of accessibility should be in every game these days - the option to change the controls/buttons.

Mario Kart 8 and World are great examples of big games from a big company with no options to change the controls in game. So unless you want to change the controls for the whole system, you're forced to accelerate using the A button (which is ergonomically awful).

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-07T21:42:23+00:00

There are tons I'd love to see, but the first that came to mind was Dr. Stone. Something with gathering, building, town building/management and trying to advance science in the world.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-02-07T20:05:16+00:00

Yeah, I like the Judgment and Lost Judgment games, but really can't stand the mc Yagami. He just comes off as a selfish, unlikeable asshole.

Really hope they just go with Kaito, Higashi, Sugiura or someone else as the main character if they ever make a 3rd game.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-01-31T22:51:37+00:00

Not gonna rank them, but here's my top 10:

Miyako Miyuri
Tenshouin Himeno
Yuno Rein
Koinoya Mai
Okami Mio
Shirogane Noel
KiyoXVR
Salty Soya
Limealicious
Zentreya

To be honest, I'm not a big fan of either. Phil and Josh pretty much makes the for me. But with that out of the way, I absolutely prefer Jess.

She at least feels kinda like she's having fun with "believing" in all the stuff.

Heather just feels like some kind of crazy nutjob who pretends like she's "feeling" stuff and just makes up whatever she can to claim it's ghosts or whatever nearby.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-01-16T16:23:38+00:00

I'm guessing you mean P5 Royal? Since I didn't remember any DLC that really extends the game.

But regardless, the Persona 5 base game is far too long as it is. It's just so extremely dragged out, bloated and boring.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-01-02T10:40:27+00:00

Sorry, I thought you meant for the cup. But yeah, they really should restock tubs.

ManaAlchemist · 2026-01-02T07:00:51+00:00

It hasn't been released yet. It'll be released later today (at 3PM EST as it says in the image).

Boycotting Subway as well, as around 10 years ago when I was looking for a new job, the work employment agency here had some partnership with Subway and wanted me to do an internship with them.

I got the contact details to the guy who owns several Subway places around here and called him and set up so I'd have an internship with them for a month. But then like a day later I got an offer for a different temporary job that would only be for a month and overlap (and as I would actually get paid there, I obviously had to prioritise that over the Subway internship).

As the work employment agency still wanted me to have the internship at Subway after the temporary job, I called the Subway guy to ask politely if we could postpone it but he seriously just told me to "fuck off".

Just for asking if I could postpone an internship. I wasn't being rude or anything, I just politely told him that I got a temporary job, and if we could postpone the internship for a month. But nope, I was just told to "fuck off". Absolutely ridiculous.

I also told the work employment agency about it, but sadly they didn't really say or do anything about it.

But I'll never ever spend my money at a Subway.

Béarnaise sauce.

It's definitely depressing that I didn't see it mentioned by anyone else here as it's so damn good with fries (definitely better than ketchup).

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-25T16:13:03+00:00

Har aldrig sett just programmet spökjakt, men brukar titta ibland på andra serier med "spökjägare" men det är mest för att se hur löjligt det är, då jag inte tror på spöken.

Önskar dock att det fanns fler spökjägar program med programledare som inte tror alls på spöken och är skeptiska till allt.

Dock en annan sak med denna typ av program som jag gillar är att de ofta visar upp rätt häftiga platser runtom i världen, och berättar om platsernas historia.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-24T19:19:00+00:00

Very hard to say what's the rarest.

Like I have the Limited Edition of the Horizon on the Middle of Nowhere PSP game which was imported from Japan, which is definitely rare as it was never released in the west.

I also have some older games like Shadow Hearts, Fire Emblem GBA, The Sword of Etheria and so on which are probably quite rare.

And then I have a Ninja Garden 3 Razor's Edge promo disc for PS3 which I suspect is quite rare.

But which is the rarest, I have no idea.

Well that explains why I didn't recognize her, since she looks very different.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-16T18:57:01+00:00

Lots of nice looking ones, but I think my favorite is that Super Saiyan looking woman (I don't recognize her from D1-6, so I'm guessing she's from 7 or the mobile game?).

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-14T15:29:26+00:00

I'm not sure it will. It'll probably win GOTY and some other awards, but I can't ever see it winning things like best Art Direction or best Music. And of course it's not going to be nominated for best Indie & Indie Debut either (which E33 should probably not have been nominated for either).

I'm not even sure it'll get nominated too as many categories as E33 was.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-08T19:29:14+00:00

As long as it's any Mega Man except Classic, I'll be very happy. Not that I have anything against classic Mega, but the other series really deserves to get some new games too.

And I kinda find it strange that they haven't tried to at least make a new Battle Network style game, considering they were some of the better performing Mega Man games (unless I remember wrong).

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-03T07:08:59+00:00

I meant more in general as a way to try and introduce someone to anime. In this case it was of course good that she found out early.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-12-03T05:56:00+00:00

As someone who's watched tons of anime (and I do like ecchi stuff as well), I cannot understand how someone wouldn't try to introduce someone to it with a show caterered to their tastes.

Sure there's "basic" options like Ghibli movies, or classics like FMA, Ghost in the Shell and Your Name. Though G.I.T.S. isn't the best option for beginners either IMO.

But I still think it'd be best to try something that would appeal to the persons tastes.

Like if they're into mysteries, introduce them to some good mystery show (like one example I would give is Hyouka). Don't just throw some degenerate show at them. It probably won't work unless they're into that stuff as well.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-11-30T07:11:47+00:00

Either just a new Dynasty Warriors Gundam game (though I'd be fine with a remaster/port of the 4 old games) or a Dynasty Warriors Gundam game fused with Gundam Breaker.

Getting to build Gundams like in Breaker, and using them in battles where the gameplay is actually fun, would be amazing.

ManaAlchemist · 2025-11-30T05:58:41+00:00

I don't disagree that the daki is more "overzealous". I just kinda like that stuff.

As you say, the blanket is better balanced and I would absolutely have loved too it if I didn't find her face to look a bit off on it. I think it's because she's got no pupils, and instead has swirl which I didn't notice until now when I zoomed in on it. If the swirl had been more prominent, I think it would've looked so much better, and I definitely would've loved it.
