So I'm not the only one who considers this underrated, probably have it tied for 2nd with Summer Wars if I had to rank the films I've seen from Hosoda.

Got the Nioh artbook from Amazon America (the box must have been ripped open at customs and re-sealed because it was in bad shape).

#4: VideoGamesPlus Limited Run Games Haul
Canadian retailer VideoGamesPlus received a new batch of releases from Limited Run Games and they included a few titles that I was after, especially one of them.
We'll start off with Star Ocean: First Departure R, which is a remaster of the PSP remake of the original Super Famicom Action RPG by Enix & Tri-Ace. I've owned the digital version for a few years now but I've wanted to own physical whenever possible and this marks the first PlayStation 4 Limited Run Games title for my collection, as I've been avoiding them admittedly due to the spine numbering which I felt was daft and would have caused OCD. Granted there were a few titles that I could have gotten for PS4 over the years instead of Switch but in general I have no regrets (except for missing out on Castlevania Requiem because Konami never brought it over to other platforms due to using a PSP emulator from the PS4 era of re-releases).
But this won't be the only PS4 title for the collection, since LRG do have plans to release a physical for Capcom's Onimusha 2 remaster which I'm looking forward to owning. I also believe this is the first Square Enix LRG title as well so I am curious to see if they have plans to bring other titles like Resonance of Fate, Star Ocean: The Last Hope and Voice of Cards for physical later down the line for example.
Moving on we have a Chinese interactive dating sim game with Love is all around by developer intiny. This is similar in format to the Vanity Fair: The Pursuit game that I picked up a few months back, so I expect amusingly fast dialogue, some typos in the translation and nice visuals and also an easy trophy list on top of that.
And while this wasn't part of the latest batch I also added Shadows of the Damned Hella Remastered from Grasshopper Interactive. I have the original PlayStation 3 version which I did play and enjoyed the ride so I'm looking forward to revisiting the game via this release. I did check to see if there were plans for a UK/EU physical but there aren't any (whereas Lolipop Chainsaw did thanks to Clear River Games). EA published the original version while NetEase Entertainment published the remaster. Shinji Mikami also produced and Suda51 wrote the story for this game so it's another intriguing collaboration.

#5: UNIQLO Shueisha 100th Anniversary T-Shirts
Next we have a fun set of T-Shirts that UNIQLO have produced as part of their latest collaboration for the UT line-up. Here they are celebrating Japanese publisher Shueisha's 100th anniversary with a series of T-Shirts based on different manga IPs.
So the ones I went for were Jujutsu Kaisen, Kinnikuman (also known in the west as Ultimate Muscle) and Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac. They also have shirts available that are based on Captain Tsubasa, Golden Kamuy, Hunter x Hunter, Kingdom and Yu Yu Hakusho, with a second batch arriving late April that also includes GANTZ and KochiKame.
The shirts only started becoming available since Monday 16th and they don't get reprinted, so I suggest if you want to grab some you should do so sooner than later.

I received three anime shipments this month so far - the first 3 Blu-rays arrived from MediaOCD yesterday, the two Slime Blu-rays from Amazon US Friday and yesterday, and the last one from a blu-ray.com forum friend on 3/9.
Unbelievably, the Scarlet Bond Movie Blu-ray from Amazon arrived with some actual kind of purple slime smeared all over the front and back of the slipcover, I guess someone was trying to be a joker - I used a knife to scrape all the slime of the cover and gently cleaned off the residue with soap and water, but the slip was still bubbled up and damaged underneath. So, I ordered another copy I found elsewhere for $11 cheaper then this one, and I will be spreading the slime back on the cover of this one and returning it back to Amazon once I receive the replacement, lol!
Black Jack Complete OVA Series with Slipcover
Prime Rose: A Time Slip of 10,000 Years with slipcover
Shin Aim for the Ace!
The Slime Diaries
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie Scarlet Bond
The Demon Sword Master of Excalibur Academy from BWBODDY

It's because they are not a physical store its no different to buying imports from ebay or amazon uk.

Enter more cables and adapters since I decided to bring my HP thunderbolt 3 dock back into use (and hope that the display port ports on it actually work) at least until I can get a thunderbolt 4 dock for the mac mini and the type c to c cables are to at least see if plugging the DAC/battery dock for my steelseries headset directly into the mac mini stops all the issues I've been having with it being plugged into a USB3 hub (the basics cable was only purchased in case the pack of 3 didn't have data transmission capabilities) along with the DSpico, the open source DS flashcart that doesn't have a timebomb in it (although I'm certainly pressing x to doubt the 3DS in DS mode compatibility since it doesn't even want to boot the DS launcher in my 2DS)
And finally, the mess that is my kitchen along with a new daewoo single induction hob since I needed to replace the old hob I had because it has partly failed and it was well beyond time that I got a replacement.

Got some games from Hit.co.uk this weekend. Nioh 3, Dead Space (Remake) and No Sleep for Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files.
I’ve much enjoyed the Nioh series so far and the more I played the demo for Nioh 3 the less worried about it I was. I thought the core gimmick would make the gameplay too overwhelming but it’s just about adjusting to the systems. Plus the art book for the previous games arrived last week and 3 was on sale and I took this all as a sign to buy.
Dead Space is a series I missed out on. But after really liking Resident Evil 2 I’m willing to give another horror shooter a chance. AI: The Somnium Files is a series I mostly enjoyed but felt that it either needed to end or go in a different direction. So maybe this spinoff is what I wanted.

I've been vaguely interested in I'm Quitting Heroing since it came out but wasn't convinced at £30.
Found this on eBay for £10.80.
Turns out it is actually the Sentai version.
Not that it matters to me but they should highlight these things.
Anyhoo, a proper bargain from expensive eBay. It'll be a fiver in next month's sale.

Probably the final purchase until around this time next month, I decided to go back to a wired keyboard and purchased a pre-built glorious GMMK 2 which as a little under £100 was a lot cheaper then buying a barebones version along with switches and keycaps although, I will have to purchase a new set of keycaps that have the mac specific key legends as well as not being able to use the glorious core software on mac as I'm guessing that it only works with the GMMK 3 keyboards even though the glorious gaming website makes no mention of this.

I received one anime related item today from an eBay seller - I wanted to add on to my existing Studio Ghibli "The Art Of" art book collection. I have almost all the US hardcover and/or Japanese soft cover releases of this series, although the one I just got today is not an actual "The Art Of" release, since I don't believe one was ever made for this movie. This is actually one of my favorite Studio Ghibli movies; in my Top 10 at least.
With this pickup I now have 22 art books for most of the Studio Ghibli movies. I have also just ordered "The Art Of The Boy and the Heron" hardcover book, and an A4-sized art book for Grave of the Fireflies. I just need to find something yet for Pom Poko.
Ocean Waves THE VISUAL COLLECTION Art Book
Here is my entire Studio Ghibli art book collection. The art book in Japanese with the thin blue spine is "The Art Of Whisper of the Heart."
