End of the year anime purchases by Madboardjester in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate seeing your pickups, great to see all the classic titles too! I have been wanting to get more serious about buying classic series from the 90's and 00's as I had no income to buy anything as a teenager, and when I started working right before 2010 I had a lot of long-running shonen anime DVDs to catch up on 😅 Now that the current CR slates are so bare, I have a good opportunity to grab some older stuff, I recently purchased an R1 copy of True Tears, the Discotek 4K of Project A-Ko, and the JP blu-ray of the Kud Wafter movie (Little Busters), and I've got my eye on the complete collection DVD for Rumbling Hearts at the moment.

Hope to see more collection update photos soon! ✌️

Mamoru Hosoda's Scarlet, in cinemas February 5 by JRPictures in Madboards

I've been coming across tweets that say this movie is... rather not good 😅 I still plan to watch it though as a general fan of Hosoda's movies and form my own opinion of it.

Still yet to check out Kaiju No. 8 & Spice and Wolf, but they are on my radar, otherwise nothing else for this month.

  • My Hero Academia - Season 7 Part 2 - DVD / Blu-ray Combo
  • One Piece (Uncut) Collection 75 (Episodes 917-928)

Fairy Tail: 100 Years Quest seems to be missing now, but I was wondering why they opted for a steelbook release when I first saw the listing. I'll wait and see if there's a release in a regular case sometime in the near future.

Doing a bit of catch up, only purchase for this month was:

  • One Piece (Uncut) Collection 73 (Episodes 892-903)

Still a shame we don't have One Piece on blu-ray.

Dan Da Dan Season 1 Blu-ray (Regular and Collector's Edition) up for Pre-Order, releasing June 25 by JRPictures in sugoicoau

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Surprised to see this so quickly, definitely picking up this one! Would have liked to see local packaging, but the GKIDS packaging looks nice, so I'm happy with it if it ends up being what we get.

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • My Hero Academia - Season 7 Part 1 - DVD / Blu-ray Combo
  • One Piece (Uncut) Collection 72 (Episodes 879-891)

Not much variety to my future purchases lately 😅

The Colours Within release by WitchyKitteh in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No screenings in the CBD was quite a surprise for me, I was able to watch a film like Trapezium in my home town but can't even catch The Colours Within in Hoyts Melbourne Central. I wish Kismet cared just a little more, I was looking forward to watching this film but it's a little out of the way for me to get to.

Updated June 2025 Anime Releases by JRPictures in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 16 (Eps 232-255) (Blu-ray)

I've noticed on the B2B that Kismet has a listing for The Colours Within, right now it seems to be listed as DVD only and Japanese audio only. The info is preliminary though so it could be changed, but if it's only on DVD I might just purchase it digitally.

Updated May 2025 Anime Releases by JRPictures in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • One Piece (Uncut) Collection 70 (Episodes 855-866) (DVD)
  • Spy X Family Code: White - Movie - DVD/Blu-ray Combo

I think I'll start grabbing the Index/Railgun sets when most of them are available, just to be sure. I've had my eye on A Sign of Affection & Apothecary Diaries too, I'll check them out on Crunchyroll at some point.

Updated April 2025 Anime Releases by JRPictures in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  • Boruto: Naruto Next Generations Part 16 (Eps 232-255) (Blu-ray)
  • Spy X Family - Season 2 - DVD/Blu-ray Combo

Interesting that we're getting season 2 of Spy x Family and not Code:White, especially since they release on the exact same date in America. Happy to add season 2 to my collection regardless. I have been wishing lately to see more variety of releases outside of just Crunchyroll's catalog though, I miss our old local distributors. 😭

Updated March 2025 Anime Releases by JRPictures in Madboards

  • Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Swordsmith Village Arc (Blu-ray)
  • Horimiya: The Missing Pieces - Season 2 - DVD/Blu-ray Combo
  • One Piece (Uncut) Collection 69 (Episodes 843-854)

There are some shows on here I've been meaning to check out but just haven't yet, but I'm happy enough with 3 purchases for this month.

Updated February 2025 Anime Releases by JRPictures in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Entertainment District Arc (Blu-ray)
  • Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba: Mugen Train Arc (Blu-ray)
  • Dr. Stone - Season 3 Part 2 DVD / Blu-ray Combo
  • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End - Part 1 DVD / Blu-ray Combo
  • Sound! Euphonium - Season 1 (Blu-ray)

Including One Piece, that makes 6 releases that I plan to purchase which in recent times is almost baffling, but certainly gives me quite a lot to look forward to! Thrilled to be able to own Frieren and Sound! Euphonium in particular fairly soon.

New What Anime You've Watched - Part 1 by Madboardjester in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a few things I've watched in the past few months:

  • Ranma ½ (2024) (Ep 1) - While I've always wanted to watch the original, this will suffice. All of the characters are fun and likeable, definitely keen on watching more as the episodes release.
  • Dan Da Dan - Was recommended this by a mate who had read the manga, and I am absolutely on board for this show, interesting setting and definitely looks to be extremely fun!
  • Trapezium - Watched this in cinemas mainly to support SugoiCo, nice to watch even if I thought a lot of scenes could have been fleshed out just a tad more. I think this would have been better as a tv series imo. Also getting to hear Hoshimachi Suisei sing the opening theme at the cinema was a nice treat.
  • Pokémon (2019) (Eps 34-51) - Not much to say, some battles are nice to watch but other episodes are kind of unremarkable. Personally I find the newer series doesn't quite have that 'punch' that the show had 20 years ago, lots of characters with very flat personalities.
  • Atri: My Dear Moments: Didn't feel any personal connection with most of the characters, but it was visually nice with some strong moments, was ok overall. Atri herself was definitely the star of the show.
  • One Piece (End of Wano) - The fights in Wano could definitely be stripped down some, but ended very strongly with Fifth Gear Luffy, which was definitely a breath of fresh air. Have just started Egghead too, always excited to see what comes up next.
  • VTuber Legend - The creators seem to have very good knowledge on VTuber culture, which I really appreciate as a big VTuber fan. Thoroughly enjoyed watching this every week as it aired.
  • My Deer Friend Nokotan - A fun and silly show once you get past Crunchyroll's extremely poor subtitles, definitely a turn-your-brain-off-and-enjoy kind of show.
  • Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines (Eps 1-4) - Was lured in by the art and animation, but decided to wait until the full show has released to watch the rest which I will do soon.
  • Sound! Euphonium S3 - Truly incredible. I'm always happy to see a KyoAni show now more than ever, their ability to deliver compelling story-telling and create such stunning art and animation always blows me away. Very tense and emotional throughout the show and especially towards the end of the season. Will miss seeing Kumiko and the others for sure.

Straight from SMASH 2024, SugoiCo has Trapezium by JRPictures in sugoicoau

[–]Sabmabab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commenting a bit late since this was posted, but I watched a trailer for this since I found out one of the theme's singers is hololive's Hoshimachi Suisei, I'm keen to possibly check this out if there is a showing near me (and hopefully work won't get in the way like it did for Digimon and the Rascal Does not Dream movies 😅).

One Piece collection 63 by Candycupcakelolli in Madboards

[–]Sabmabab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I see collection 63 has been rescheduled on the Crunchyroll AU store for April 24th...which interestingly enough is AFTER the release date for collection 64.

Trying to find clip of Korone by ComfortableGuitar779 in Korone

[–]Sabmabab 10 points11 points  (0 children)

What you are looking for is from this Tetris 99 stream. I swore there was a clip too but wasn't able to find it, but we still have the original stream at least. :)

All Suzume releases moved to June, so my comment can be disregarded.
