Solaris has older stuff(depending on what you mean by old). I got a Last Exile Fam the Silver Wing art book and also some older Fumos(such as Hong Meiling).

I just can't believe how expensive this stuff is. You used to see VHS tapes and DVDs stuff in nerd rooms, but these days you mostly see manga (or just the old VHS and DVDs) because BDs are just way too ridiculous. They should come with figures like that are bare minimum at that kind of price and also a signed autograph thanking the buyer.
They really can't ever complain about sales when they're aimed at such a limited market.

the most revolutionary part of this anime is that it's selling better than anything else with loliservice, studio execs seeing this should take note that you need not pander to western or norm sensibilities to make an anime sell

Its the eyelashes

Bullshit. She's the one character who hasn't gotten molested and they age her up any time lewd stuff goes on. Coward anime.

>>119871
I'm sure her time to shine will come eventually, be patient.

>>119869
Your mom need not pander to western or norm sensibilities!

>700+ bought in past month
>1K+ bought in past month
>800+ bought in past month
These disks are getting some damn good numbers. I checked out the Mato Seihei no Slave BDs as well since it suggested them and each of those was saying only +50 each. And we're barely past the halfway point.
But no, I don't buy anything myself, at all, I've no purchasing power to do so.

Alice has zero fanservice in the manga, in fact this henshin sequence was added in. She's the only one to never get lewded.

Can you check to see how poorly Undead Unluck is doing? I hear it's pretty bad, but I don't know what to look for (especially not understanding Japanese)

>>119885
Textually quoting Amazon.
>>119886
Hmmm... none of them are showing any numbers. I suppose it's to be expected that the first cour's BDs would've been sold over a month ago, and I'm not gonna extrapolate about the second. Although Kusuriya does show about 500 total, so eh. Oh, and the text in question happens to be in English for whatever reason.

>>119884
>She's the only one to never get lewded.
And that's why they won't be getting a single penny from me.

>>119891
Prease andastand, tsuyosugiru.

>>119890
I saw somewhere predictions that the BD sales were passing 15k, which assuming an average of $200 per sale would mean about 3 mil in revenue from BD sales alone. Pretty good for sequel potential.

>>119910
It's one of the rare shows where we know that the BD version will actually be better than the broadcast one. Most BDs nowadays are just the TV-versions on disk. BD sales make up a tiny fraction of total revenue nowadays. This show's profits from its BDs will probably unusually large. But that makes the numbers a bit unrepresentative.

>>119935
>we know that the BD version will actually be better than the broadcast one
How do we know that? The broadcast one is already uncensored, so what guarantees are there that they'll majorly up the quality in the BDs?

>>119995
even the uncensored version has muted audio and some other stuff iunno source for pic is the wiki's mini article on the anime

>>119997
I can't believe they still make dvds

>>120011
When your BDs are this expensive, some people want a cheaper alternative.

That's great that DVDs are being made. I had no idea. The price thing would justify it, but I could also see a lot of Japanese people just holding onto the old technology. I could see myself filling a room with DVDs even if they're inferior to BDs, just to have a physical reminder to appreciate. I wonder if they still have menus or if it's sort of a lazy "better than nothing" kind of thing with minimum effort.

>>120016
Most are pretty good from what I've seen. DVDs are still the preferred medium for pre-HD era content. Since most BDs are garbage upscales or otherwise butchered in some way. I recently started working on archiving a 2000s era show and the BD is basically unwatchable. They didn't bother to deinterlace the DVD content before upscaling it to HD. So the BD has combing on every other frame in addition to bad art all around. The DVD isn't perfect but it's much better.

It's sad because they could do so much better with the space on a BD. You could put multiple seasons of an anime on one BD in SD format. Let the end user's hardware worry about upscaling it. It'll be a superior experience most of the time and it would improve with upgrades to media players and stand alone hardware. The average BD is a rip off especially if you're buying them in Japan where each disc only has a few episodes. I don't understand how they keep getting away with it.

A lot of times I'll buy the DVD instead of the BD just because it comes with extra content. You'd think the BDs would have more but I've found that not to be true. Especially for shows that got a DVD release 15+ years ago and a recent BD re-issue.

>>119997
AT-X version has censorshit too? Wtf what could they possibly be censoring. Now I'm tempted to just wait for the BD.

>>120572
the manga has a lot of bruises and cuts and bleeding that's absent, that's the only thing I can think of

>>120572
All I know about is they censored a lot of moaning. The BD version is going to be great. I can't wait to hear the seiyus giving it their all.

>>120574
Remains to be seen but with the budget they're working on I don't expect the art to change much in the BD release.

everything i desperately want to succeed this season is succeeding... anime is healing

Holy tits on #2

Bumping this thread because it's related to the recent discussions about piracy.

Can we use it as a general buyfag thread? I saw this and thought it looked surprisingly good for cheap pop up parade stuff: https://goodsmileeurope.com/products/gse_g19258 I might buy it if the shipping isn't too expensive. She looks more expressive in that fig than she does in the show.

>>122665
Wow, I had to do a double take and check if GSC is actually the manufacturer. They seem to have stepped up their game in however many years since I last bought something from them. This Holo looks pretty darn nice! The Pop Ups never held my attention before.

The closeup in >>122666 still carries the look of a prize-tier figure, but imo it's the top end of that grouping. The sculpting and paint are great. For the longest time I considered FuRyu to be the best when it comes to quality on a budget in prize territory, but it seems GSC has caught up.

Been using Solaris Japan and Ninoma as my go-to sources for figures for years. The way JP sellers take care of their stuff, when Solaris and Ninoma say "Pre-Owned" you might as well call it complete like-new-in-box, immaculate. Wide variety, huge discounts on Pre-Owned figures, and every time I buy from those 2 stores it's a stellar experience.

Perhaps it's time to pick up another scale fig since it's been quite a while. Window shopping is free though

>>122665
Thanks for sharing this, definitely gonna order tomorrow. I really love the Pop Up Parade series since it typically has a great balance of quality and relatively low prices.

I bought the first MahoAko BD only to realize that I don't actually have any way to play it. I thought my old laptop (the only optical disc reader I currently own) could, but it turns out to only be able to do CDs and DVDs.
And thus both starts and ends my foray into collecting blu-rays.

>>123604
I don't have one but just to let you know, PS3/4/5 are capable of playing Blu-Rays. If someone more knowledgeable could chime in
