What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[Puringa]

Yesterday I visited the Heroes: Made in Asia convention in Utrecht, The Netherlands. There I picked up a bunch of stuff (mostly imported drinks). Highlight is of course the collector's edition of Metaphor: ReFantazio. Not included in this picture is a poster of Perfect Blue that I also picked up during the convention.

Those mochi with the fruity juicy filling are really nice IMO! And I friggin' love Perfect Blue!

My first recent Temu order with nine items arrived, I am happy with everything except the chain and hat - both are lovely except the chain it occurs to me might be tricky to take off when going to the loo, and the hat is too small for my head, but I love the other stuff, particularly the plushies and bag which I have taken my own photos of here, the plushies are really cute and soft and the bag is gorgeously vibrant pretty and shiny

This counts right?

From SciFier: The Art of Makoto Shinkai: a sky longing for memories.

This is a really nice book that not only displays some of Shinkai's gorgeous artwork, but also goes into a bit of detail on how Shinkai creates his art (largely his landscapes and cityscapes) and also includes some interviews from those who he has worked with.

Thanks to @RedundantSquash for recommending this one.



I also received a copy of Rune Factory 3 Special from The Game Collection for a good price.

Another batch of titles from Radiance Films.

Oooh top tip, which I must have missed in the previous posts. His background art has been stunning from the very beginning I think (not character art though, so I'm very glad he outsources that now). It's reduced on Amazon currently so I shall be getting that too! Thanks for the info peeps!

I rewatched 5cm/s and loved it even more than before. It hits harder having since rewatched his lighter subsequent movies numerous times. Trying to read the manga now as recommended.

I really like that it has two English dubs

(I also very much enjoy the movie itself haha)

I didn't know it had two dubs (and why? Different publishers I'm presuming) but if they're good I don't mind watching with those next time heh

Yes, different distributors, ADV Films dubbed it over a decade ago, then Bang Zoom! did the more recent dub that is on the Blu-ray from Anime Limited, IMO both dubs are respectable efforts and I enjoy the film with either

All these items plus the black choker necklace in red arrived today (didn't bother putting a photo of it cuz I didn't wanna go over 10 images and have to make two posts), the black and red choker don't really fit they are a touch too small (I could wear them but they'd be a bit uncomfortably tight and constricting on my neck), but I'm happy with everything else, though ofc I haven't made the lego-alike kits and metal puzzle yet (I have checked inside and they do all come with physical paper instruction booklets), the hoodie is awesome great quality print and soft material, the red velvet hat is a good, comfortable fit, the lace white choker is elasticated so you just pull it on over your head and it looks really pretty, the plushies are lovely though one of the sleeves on the bunny's dress needs a tiny bit of additional stitching, but that won't be difficult to do

Time to answer another of those classic schoolyard questions: who would win in a fight between Godzilla and Superman?
