DVD region code?

How possible is it to watch DVD's from a different region on a DVD player? I found an Anime DVD on EBAY , but it is Region 2, will it play at all on a Region 1 DVD/BLU RAY Player?

Re: Gundam Side Material

For Gundam related examples, sometimes it does seem like watching the Anime on it's own (more so in the early days of the international fandom, where anime relases wheren't always in chronological order) wouldn't be enough to actually explain what is going on. Cima's backstory dosen't really make a ...

Panzer World Galient

So how much information is out there about Panzer World Galient's production and sales/ratings?
Spoiler
The series ending is rather abrupt, which might mean it was cut short in production like many other Mecha Anime.
, however they did make an alternate universe OVA a few years later.

Gundam Side Material

So how nessesary do you feel additional material ( offical setting guides, etc) is to watching Gundam? I find it varies , but there are quite a few things that make more sense about the anime with knowledge from the side material.

Re: Gundam Alternate Universe

TBF any series is going to have people who love it, people who like/are indifferent about it and people who hate it, paticularly if it gets popular.(E.G I really liked Kraven the Hunter, a lot of people hate it, it wasen't the greatest ever, but it was definitly very watchable, for a mech example I ...

Re: Gundam Alternate Universe

Thanks its alway neat to see the background on the franchise, Really G Gundam was probably one of the biggests depatures to be a sequel (even Macross 7 fit in better). Gundam Wing was closer in its themes, but it's clear the MS History in AC can't be reconciled with UC, Even Gundam X with it's Islan...

Gundam Alternate Universe

So why exactly did Sunrise start the alternate universes in the 90s? Were ratings/model kit sales an issue? Did it given them an opportunity to be more creative outside the UC? (G Gundam and Gundam Wing were quite different, Gundam X almost seemed like it could fit in the UC).

So has anyone played this game? How is it? Is it worth buying? It's been out on Switch for 2 years, and there aren't many mech games on Switch.
