What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

Part 2.

From the recent TASCHEN sale last month, the XXL editions of Hokusai, Hiroshige and Contemporary Japanese Architecture. I also tracked down the original XXL release of Japanese Woodblock Prints. Also bought Fashion and the Floating World.

I finally have extra storage for the PS5 with it not costing the almost £200 that a playstation branded WD black SN850P would have cost.

Installing it was more of a pain as it took several attempts to get to drive fully slotted in so that it would be detected by the console when I switched it on.

Now that I have the extra storage, I went and purchased the death stranding directors cut digital deluxe edition for £5 and Horizon zero dawn remastered for £10 as upgrades for their respective PS4 versions (it also means that I can claim the final few PS5 upgrades that I didn't do thanks to the lack of storage space).
 
Yesterday I received seven of the eight Aniplex of America titles I picked up during Crunchyroll's 25% Off Member's Sale. The eighth set, Oreimo 2, is arriving tomorrow in a separate package. Since this sale did include Aniplex titles (which are almost always excluded from any sales), I jumped at getting all these titles at once, and saved over $250 total on the sets. A free 2025 Crunchyroll pin for orders over $100 also shipped separately, but arrived the same day as this order:


Oreimo - Complete Series
Blue Exorcist - Beyond the Snow Saga
The Irregular at Magic High School - Season 3
Vivy Fluorite Eyes Song
Rurouni Kenshin - Volume 1
Rurouni Kenshin - Volume 2
KIZUMONOGATARI Koyomi Vamp Movie Limited Edition

Oreimo 2 - Complete Series (Arriving 10/27)

It probably doesn't matter too much if an artbook is not translated; if it is mostly artwork, it just becomes a picture book, then. If there is text that needs translating that you really want to figure out what it says, there are phone apps that will translate Japanese text from photos of the text - I have one installed on my android phone. I've only used it for a few words or short sentences though, like instruction sheets for assembling scale figures, and it works great for that; I've just never tried to use it for, say, a larger paragraph of text.
