Poll of the Day > Got my US anime Blu Rays today, what should I watch tomorrow?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Friend hasn't watched any of this stuff in years and wasn't buying more US imports, so he gave me the lot.

Black Lagoon cover art mentions being both seasons, but I seem to have 4 DVDs and 3 Blu Ray discs both marked as Black Lagoon, no mention of The Second Barrage, not sure if it is supposed to be like that. Anyone else have the Funimation set who can check for me? Need to find some replacement cables for the player before I can do it myself. Common ones fortunately.

Full Metal Alchemist: Botherhood has two sets with episodes going all the way to 64, so that is complete.

Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid is where I'm leaning myself simply because I already own and have watched the original series and Fumoffu, but never found this one. Though it is also focused on the mechs to my knowledge, I liked the comedy sections of the original more than the serious bits.

Samurai Champloo... Unlike the other stuff I was given, I know nothing about it.

Also, with this lot, I just realised I finally own some anime that isn't over 10 years old. Brotherhood was being released as late as 2011. :P

Samurai Champloo rules!

Dug up some from a box of cables (using composite cables for now) and some AAAs for the remote and popped in disc one of the discs, it has more episodes than I expected (local DVDs had as few as 3 episodes per disc) so I'll have all the episodes for both seasons. Yay.

Unfortunately, this player seems a bit tempermental in its old age (gets stuck 'reading' new discs until I shut down and start it up again), so I'll probably hunt down a region free player down here for these and my regular DVDs.

I'm sure it does, my friend went and imported it. But I know literally nothing about it. :P

Supposedly the PS4 is region free when it comes to bluray movies, try that.

Have now confirmed it isn't. I know it is more relaxed than earlier Sony consoles (my PS4 plays UK discs, PS3 couldn't and PS2 needed something called DVD Region X to play them), but doesn't seem to be to that degree. Oh well.

Okay, well.

If you have a bluray drive in your PC, VLC just ignores the coding.

DVD. I have a blu ray writer drive somewhere, but never got around to installing it in this system.

Okay well I tried.

I'm not too worried, the included player is working better now. I'm guessing just sitting around for the last several years is why it was acting up at first. Cycled between a few and now the discs are starting up once put in, no issues.

Looks like Brotherhood
