Yikes, good luck. Hopefully it will all be straightforward.

Possibly, but I don't have any insider knowledge that would give me an accurate read on the situation. The most optimistic possible outlook is that this lets The Three Organisations Formerly Known As Embracer focus their organisation structure around one specialised area each, isolating them...

They're going to need a bigger box.

The Whisper Me a Love Song anime seems to be coming along nicely. The only thing that's thrown me so far is how fast it's motoring along. They've completed volume 1 of the manga in two episodes. I went back and checked the manga, but nothing has been left out; this part of the story does move...

We're into the new financial year now. Despite the death of E3, late spring is still a common time for game announcements. So what do you think we'll hear about this year? Likely Resident Evil IX - Village was originally planned as a spin-off, so I would expect the next mainline entry to be...

The main thing I remember about New Nightmare was its party trick of having a flashlight that could light up the 2D backgrounds. Aside from that it was just an okay game. I still have it on Dreamcast, which looked a lot better than this version, as you would expect. It's weird that they've gone...

As @Lucky_Deity mentioned, Crystal is a more literal adaptation of the manga, but Sailor Moon is a case where that doesn't necessarily make it better. The comedy added to the original anime of Sailor Moon is a huge part of its appeal.

You may as well import the Australian set. It's zone B, so it will work on a UK player.

Llamasoft: The Jeff Minter Story This is the latest in Digital Eclipse's line of 'interactive documentaries'. How you approach it will heavily guide what you get out of it. Billed as having over 40 games, if you're hoping for a good-value anthology of games to play, you'll probably be...

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth I finished it yesterday with almost 124 hours on the clock. I often start to lose interest in long games around the 50-hour mark, so it's testament to how good this was that it held my interest throughout. I'll be surprised if anything due out this year tops it as a...

It's tough to keep track of what is still in print, so apologies if some of these are hard to find. Arcadia of My Youth (the original Captain Harlock TV series is a classic too, but that's 70s) Bubblegum Crisis (don't bother with Crash or 2040) City Hunter (the movies are pretty good, but the...

One of my favourite yuri manga. The first three volumes could make for a very good romance story, since they're a pretty self-contained arc. It starts to veer more into high school band drama with a larger cast after that, which is still good, but takes a lot of focus away from the central...

They're giving that trash a physical release? Seriously? I guess any isekrap will do when it comes to padding out the schedule with mass-market shonen junk.

@theirsbailiff I don't think EzyDVD ship internationally anymore.
