It's still insane to me that Nintendo never released any kind of Virtual Boy collection or even just a remake of VB Wario Land for their literally 3D handheld console. Thank god for the fan devs that made it possible to do it nowadays; I'm finally going to be able to play this dang Wario game

Reposting this original G Gundam ‘Flying in the Sky’ karaoke lyrics clip, that came bundled as a data perk on the original mini CD single. I had to buy custom karaoke software to extract this 😆

Apparently it only affected a single subtitle:

It was a subtitle issue on the limited edition version. www.facebook.com/mediablaster...

Has anybody else ordered and not received their exchange disc for Media Blasters' Kamen Rider Dyad BD? I just realized I ordered mine like 2 months ago and haven't even gotten a shipping notification.

And I want to be specific, it is an exchange disc you specifically had to order, which I did do.

I mean the Scopedog's eye itself was inspired by existing camera lens turrets, but the shape on this headset is so close that it's probably not a coincidence.

RIP Neil Sedaka, the man responsible for the opening and ending themes for Zeta Gundam.

Another thought as to what maybe Discotek could improve on previous Patlabor releases! MiniPato has always looked like junk in HD, likely due to a botched conversion from interlaced to progressive. It's something that would probably benefit from an AstroRes pass or whatnot.

Caught myself up on the Matt Johnson filmography

Honestly I knew I was taking a gamble when I backed Paprium on Kickstarter but I feel like I should have realized something when the tier I backed was literally called "HELLO! WHERE ARE THE PHYSICAL GAMES?"

These were from when I was rewatching the series last summer on that very set.

We live in a golden age of anime tie-in book fan translations — I wonder if anybody feels bothered to give a crack at the TNG Patlabor prequel book where SV2 protects soccer players from terrorists bsky.app/profile/toma...

In industry parlance, apparantly it has a 'broken hinge'

Sometimes you buy an 80 year book of comics and suddenly you're on vintage book repair YouTube

Probably not for a while though, those are just about to come out in Japan.

I'm pretty sure those were an option and not the only way you could watch

Yup, I saw that! In general I trust Discotek to turn in good work anyway, but those styled subs look real nice. Hopefully the work extends to doing a polish pass on the scripts.

It's not like TNG Patlabor is even all that good, but it would be pretty rad to have a domestic release for completionists, and Discotek releases plenty of live-action and toku series already.

Also this is putting the cart way ahead of the horse, but we now have a better chance than ever of TNG Patlabor coming here. Your only option for English subs before were officially but inconsistently subtitled BDs for the HK market. It was a mix of lifted fansub scripts and your typical bad HK subs

The old CPM releases also included a few commentary tracks that never made the trip over to Maiden Japan's Blu-rays. Would love to see those included too.

Oh man, if Discotek releases the movies, that means there's a chance that the Manga UK dub may actually be attached to an HD home version!

Assuming that Discotek will go on to rerelease the rest of Patlabor, I hope they address a bunch of the issues with the old subs — mostly weird annoying TL notes, but also an inconsistent translation of the eco-terrorist group 海の家. I'd upgrade for sure. Thread below:

Gave this one the usual punched up typesetting wherever possible. Really pleased with the eyecatch logo especially.
