The Crater has been the worst Kickstarter I've supported. I come to expect delays but one normally receives regular emails with updated but I couldn't tell you at what stage the Crater is at anymore. I'm giving the project until the end of October then I'm contacting the team/person to find out what the hell they are doing with my money Laughing

Oh lordy, the Crater has been a giant mess from the beginning.

Picked up Crimson Spell 5 in town and bought Hakuoki Season 1 from MVM's Deal of the Week.

Come to think of it, it's been nearly half a year since the last meaningful update on Little Witch Academia(though I just found something on the comment page from them that says they'll say something when theyt've got something presentable - posted over a month ago) and they haven't even delivered on the wallpaper. I'm not getting that BD before 2016, am I?

I suppose it's a little late, but the Weiß Schwartz card was packaged inside the artbox. The NISA store had an external bonus poster and they had an edition with a CD, but that was it.

I do find it interesting that they sold out practically on day 1 and we haven't heard any news about what's next; are they negotiating to include the card for a second print? If they get approval and put out a second run, I have a sinking feeling I'll be paying $50 to idolize my Honoka.

My bank account's been charged by Rightstuf for the second half of Cat's Eye I preordered, meaning it should be coming my way soon.

Pre-ordered both halves of Log Horizon off Rightstuf just now. Also it looks like my preorder of Gargantia will be shipping out soon as my bank account's been charged for it.

For one very lucky person on here, I found a spare copy of Flag v2, aka the rare one, and will re-sell it for $20 (this includes shipping, $25 if you're in Canada).

Also, my copy of Goong 16 arrived today, woohoo!

Very interesting...maybe I can pick up an extra on eBay? I'll keep an eye out for that second run if it ever happens. Totally lost track of releases.

Two updates: (1) the vendor that I bought the Star Driver movie from honored the price and shipped me a copy, and (2) shipping confirmation from Pied Piper/Directions for Time of EVE International. Next week will be full of anime feature film fun time.

Picked up Alice the 101st 4, My Little Monster 4 and Nana 18 & 21. Nana was in the bargain bin, which was nice.

Imported the first BD box of the most recent Turn A Gundam release. I can confirm that, unfortunately, it does not have English subtitles. The HD video looks great for the most part; some overhead shots look a bit blurry. Also, Sunrise appear to have added minor CG enhancements, but they are smoothly incorporated with the old animation.

I want to remain hopeful that eventually Funimation will release in BD and dub the great Turn A Gundam.

That is beyond awesome can you post some screen grabs? Did they make any new extra features for it? That would be amazing if the interview Bandai Entertainment made with Syd Mead somehow found its way to the JP side. I need to add more Gundam to my shelf I want that 0079 BD box. Honestly I still have yet to open my copy of Gundam UC final lol surprised I've avoided any sort of spoiler for this long.

How are you liking it? Do the pictures they gave us on Kickstartet do it justice?

IMHO, yes. The included book and postcards use good, heavy paper stock. The box and disc case are glossy, and the artwork is sharp. This is a quality package. I plan on watching the film tonight. Since Justin Sevakis worked on the Blu-ray, I know it will be quality too.
