Our Naughty and Nice in anime is up on @damagecontrolblog. I spent most my time writing about Crunchyroll, but there's Discotek stuff in there as well. @Dio_Senrab as the most varied list, and The Drew covered what he did and didn't enjoy.

I still feel like I took a boot to the face after learning that RightStuf was being folded into the Crunchyroll brand. 36 years of excellence gone for the sake of corporate greed. I'm really displeased with Sony and Crunchyroll. I usually bought few DVDs or Blu-rays from Rightstuf around the holidays.
Looks like I'll have to seek out alternatives now.

The changeover is finally happening. One of the community's long-standing favorite online shops will become "The Crunchyroll Store" next month. Nick and Steve reflect on the change and what it might herald for the anime community at large.
Crunchyroll closing down Rightstuf is total bullshit. I had to wait almost 2 years to get one figure preorder from Crunchyroll (and even then, there was minimal communication).
After my last bulk order with Rightstuf, I'm not ordering from them. I don't trust them to pack the books properly or deliver in a reasonable amount of time.
Last boost: the best case for this would just be changing the branding and domain name on Rightstuf’s site, but it sounds like they’re at the very least transitioning things over to the Crunchyroll Store. They’re only bringing over accounts for customers in the US and Canada, and their store isn’t as functional as Rightstuf - lists don’t show any indication of an item’s release, nor can you sort by it, and looking at an item’s detail page doesn’t indicate if the logged-in customer has previously ordered the item. Comparing listings also suggests the CR store is unlikely to offer any meaningful discounts.
It blows my mind how Crunchyroll, which started out as a very brazen for-profit piracy streaming service, has effectively taken over the whole North American anime market (and maybe beyond? I'm barely aware of American anime news these days, let alone what's happening in the rest of the world).
I'm really saddened by today's announcement that they're shutting down Right Stuf, a great online anime retailer they bought just over a year ago.
Here's a FAQ at the Crunchyroll Store about the upcoming closure of Right Stuf:
