Before I went nuts with anime in late 2020, I was always playing and buying (J)RPGs. I've logged more than 100 RPGs over the years (including really unique ones like Panzer Dragoon Saga and Terranigma).

My anime hobby has completely replaced my RPG hobby, but I want to try playing them again. So for the first time in years I've bought a bunch of games:

Suikoden II is my favourite RPG of all time, so getting the remaster was a no brainer.

I'm also a big fan of the Trails series, so I had some catching up to do (I have the entire Sky, Crossbell and Cold Steel series).

Finally Let's Go Eevee. I own one game from every generation and I own 1 game per remake. This was the only one I was still missing.

Still debating if I want to buy even more RPGs. I have a list of 25 more games...

This happened to me, except I became burnout of anime in 2023 when I got my PS5 with a bunch of JRPG and high profile games.

Thankfully I mostly recovered from that burn out, but for now I personally favor gaming, although I still watch anime, however I'm much more selective of what show's to watch and buy on home video.

It's the complete reverse for me haha. I used to play whatever RPG crossed my path, but I know if I really want be enjoying RPGs again I should be a lot more selective. With anime I don't care as much, since you can finish most of them in 5-10 hours.
 
From SciFier, I picked up a couple of light novels for my Shinkai collection that I've been missing: Voices of a Distant Star: Words of Love / Across the Stars and The Place Promised in Our Early Days

Also for the Shinkai collection is Masayoshi Yamazaki / One more time, One more chance Byosoku 5cm Special Edition CD. This is only 3 tracks, but it includes the various versions of the song 'One more time, One more chance', which aren't on the UK CD.

This was my first order from CDJapan (and I think my first order from Japan) and you could tell it was from Japan, given the care taken in the packaging for a simple singular CD. Very pleased with the service and will be going back in future to buy some more music.

This Mazinger release is from 2018, so it was setting off my imminent FOMO alarm. I must have had some residual FOMO in my bloodstream when I added the second season of Nanoha to the order, despite it being a recent release and me not knowing if I'll like the show yet. With Discotek it feels like no release is new enough for it to be free from the risk of abruptly going out of print though.
