Do You Remember Vinyl: Macross songs on LP
Those of you who know me IRL may be aware that I recently got myself a record player. Naturally, one needs records to play on such a device (unless one wishes to be like the bizzaro world reverse version of a hipster who buys albums on vinyl but sticks them in a frame and never plays them).

Not Scarlett Johannson: The Major, in action figure form
Perfectly timed with recent casting announcements for Hollywood adaptations that may or may not happen, my figma of Major Motoko Kusanagi has arrived (specifically, it’s The Major as she appears in the TV series Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex).

Immortalised in slightly better photographic quality than my usual posts, due to my ability… Read more →

This film is directed by Yasuhiro Yoshiura, the same director as Time of Eve, which I’ve written about here before, and will someday finish writing a proper review of. Read more →
Kill la Kill: Blu la Ray (volume 1)
At long last, I now own the actual show that I’ve been buying all these rad toys from! Or at least I own a third of it, since apparently we live in mysterious dark ages where selling a whole show in one box is a crime against nature, according to Aniplex. Oh well, at least this UK release (from Anime… Read more →
