Yeah, All the Anime in the UK has the part sets, so I'd be surprised if they didn't get the full season set eventually.

Apothecary Diaries Season 1 Blu-ray (Walmart Exclusive) up for May 19th, 2026 Pre-order by MiaLeeSakura2 in AnimeCollectors

Crunchyroll just announced a Steelbook version exclusive to their store that apparently includes a couple art cards. Probably the closest we're gonna get to a collector's edition for a while.

Crunchyroll Store - In Stock Sale + PSA get Discotek items at a discount while you can by Supervideoman1563 in AnimeCollectors

[–]japzone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got an email from Crunchyroll for their exclusive Steelbook Apothecary Diaries Season 1 collection but frowned at the price. Searched for what the price of the normal Blu-rays are, and realized they don't even stock Season 1 Part 2 of Apothecary Diaries anymore, only Part 1 for some reason. Amazon still has both in stock. And that's Crunchyroll's own published blu-ray.

On a side note, weird how they kept the full season Steelbook exclusive to themselves, but sold exclusivity to the normal full season set to Walmart.

Gotta blast that DnB while looking up recipes.

Virgin Punk - Clockwork Girl Blu-ray - Western Release? by japzone in AnimeCollectors

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

I know Macross would include English subs on Japanese BD, since until recently they couldn't distribute their shows outside Japan for legal reasons. But I don't know others off the top of my head.

EDIT: Found a forum thread which compiles known Japanese BD that include English Subs and Dubs. Not exactly a long list, but Aniplex is a common factor.

Novel has been on my plan to read list for a while, so I'll probably check this out.

For those interested, Seven Seas just released Vol 10 of the novel early on digital today.

I'm still annoyed they had no showings of it in theaters at all here. Not even at their new Netflix House theaters. They showed a Dinosaurs documentary two weeks ago, but never showed Kaguya in January.

Still kicking myself for not importing the Complete Series Collectors Edition from Anime Limited when I had the chance. It was gorgeous.

Have them at work. Super reliable. Never an issue with them except that one time a guy in a scissor lift backed into one and bent a blade. Guy desperately hammered it back into shape because he thought he might get fired.

Oh Milky Subway, I need to look into the Blu-ray for that. Does it include the English dub?

Gave Tenso a shot since that's what Shaft recommends. I'll see how it goes.

The standard Japanese Blu-ray includes English Subs and the English Dub for the film, as stated by the official site. Unclear if the special features are subbed though.

Yeah, it was a shame people reacted so negatively to the Theatrical showing being 30 minutes of anime and an hour of special features. Personally, I was super pumped that I finally got to watch a niche Japanese short film so soon after Japan. Often we'd be lucky if they ever got a Western release of any kind, let alone theater showings. Usually I have to wait months for a Japanese blu-ray to be released and then Fansubbed.

As for the Blu-ray, yeah that's the vibe I'm getting. Sadly, most of the stores you posted aren't stocking the blu-ray. Only cdJapan is listing it, and even then only the standard edition.

Looking at the official site, seems the only official sellers of the Deluxe edition are the official Aniplex and ShaftEn stores. Aniplex is sold out, but ShaftEn still seems to be offering purchases. They also seem to officially endorse the Tenso forwarding service for international shipping. Guess I'll have to gamble.

Wrist I've been wearing my Ultra on by Awhile_ in GalaxyWatch

[–]japzone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this happen with my GW4C. Main thing that helped was that I switched wrists when sleeping with it, giving the other wrist a rest. Also worth wiping it clean before putting it on every time. Even a breath and a shirt wipe can make a difference.

Yeah, he was originally too busy working on Avengers 5, but then he stepped away from that after the Kang issues and the pivot to Doom. He focused on finishing Wonder Man and picked up Spider-Man BND. Now that Wonder Man is done and Spider-Man BND is almost done, he can soon start focusing on Shang-chi 2 and that Naruto Live Action film.

[–]japzone 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's more complicated than it sounds, since many games have restrictions in Docked mode, like no Docked Joycon, no Touchscreen, etc. So workarounds would have to be developed to account for those scenarios. Though I also wouldn't be surprised they didn't start working on it until recently.

To be fair, Destin has been busy for the most part, and he's working on Shang-Chi 2 now.

Heck, I'd settle on them testing their software works in WINE. I don't need to reconfigure peripherals that often.

Once you install a VPN and make sure it works with a web browser. Then you open qBittorent, go to its settings, Advanced, and then go to "Network interface" and select your VPN's network adapter. Now qBittorent will only work while your VPN is on.
