Noir would be a dream. Takes me back to the heady days of the mid-00s and importing most of my anime on R1 and there just being so much coming out every month.
Shark Skin Man & Peach Hip Girl - about as madcap as I was expecting. Has that 90s vibe and felt like a mix between an early 90s Beat Takeshi and late 90s/early 00s Takashi Miike film. A bit of earlier Tarantino too. A solid 9/10 for me.
Much appreciated updates, as always. That Angel Guts boxset sounds great and as someone who loved the novel, I'll definitely be getting The Box Man on BD.
Great to hear that the two Zebraman films are coming earlier too - makes Switch 2 month a bit cheaper.

Didn't watch it when it was first airing for whatever reason, but I loved the OVA and first TV series for how...
First I owned? Well Space Invaders on the 2600 was the first I played back in...88 I think. But that was technically my parents console I suppose. It might have been the Duck Hunt/Mario Bros cartridge that came with the NES. Memory is hazy but I'd imagine me and my brother got that for Christmas...
Just finished watching Scent of a Spell which I thought was absolutely fantastic. Bought it along with Bumpkin Soup and Mermaid Legend as they came out recently and am really looking forward to watching those as well.
I think I already know the answer but I'm assuming it's worth getting round...
