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!

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."

Two packages this week and also an IKEA shelf addition which helps move the big Asian Cinema & European Cinema sets to another part of the room (no photos this time as it would be showing off too much).
The packages arrived last Monday and today.

#6: Terracotta March Pre-Orders Haul (88 Films & Eureka Entertainment)
The March pre-orders have now started to show with Terracotta dispatching the latest releases from both 88 Films and Eureka Entertainment, with the latter not going to see any new Asian titles for a few months (at least until July perhaps).
We'll start off with Eureka Entertainment titles first. Cruel Tale of Bushido (武士道残酷物語), Tadashi Imai's 1963 film is the latest Masters of Cinema release starring Kinnosuke Nakamura (Goyokin, Shogun's Samurai), Ineko Arima (Equinox Flower, The Human Condition), Satomi Oka (13 Assassins, Miyamoto Musashi) and Kyôko Kishida (The Human Condition, Princess Tutu). The limited edition release includes an o-card slipcase and booklet.
The Invincible Eight (天龍八將), Lo Wei's 1971 film is one of the films he directed just before working with Bruce Lee that same year and is part of the Eureka Classics label. The film stars Nora Miao (Dragon Fist, Fist of Fury), Angela Mao Ying (Lady Whirlwind, When Taekwondo Strikes), Paul Chang Chung (Center Stage, Duel to the Death), James Tien Chun (Dragons Forever, Righting Wrongs) and many more. The limited edition release includes an o-card slipcase and booklet.
From 88 Films we have two films joining the Japanarchy label, both from director Mika Ninagawa. 2012's Helter Skelter (ヘルタースケルター) starring Erika Sawajiri (No Longer Human, Shinjuku Swan), Nao Omori (First Love, Ichi the Killer), Shinobu Terajima (Kokuho, Vibrator) and Go Ayano (Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, A Story of Yonosuke), and 2006's Sakuran (さくらん) starring Anna Tsuchiya (Kamikaze Girls, Nana), Kippei Shiina (The Forest of Love, A Night in Nude), Hiroki Narimiya (Ace Attorney live-action, Nana live-action), and Yoshino Kimura (The Boy and the Heron, Confessions). The Japanarchy limited edition releases include o-card to keep the artwork info-free, and a booklet.

#7: Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow-
Solo Leveling Season 2 -Arise from the Shadow- was a very entertaining season and it was a no-brainer to pick up the anime for home video. Crunchyroll released their limited edition for the UK market and this time I pre-ordered in advance to avoid leaving it to the last second and losing out on the set. The set is also thinner than the previous season and instead of using a card box for the art cards and sheet it's like a book cover.

Loads of extras, hopefully interesting..
I'll get the others eventually. Fistful is my least favourite and I saw The Good, The Bad and The Ugly in the cinema after they found lost footage with no sound and got Clint and Eli Wallach to dub it. So I can wait a bit.
The Way of the Dragon
For the extras, the big fight and the Chuck intro in the airport.
Bruce I want to fight you in my new film
Chuck Who wins?
Bruce I do
Chuck You're going to beat the World Champion?
Bruce No, I'm going to kill the World Champion
Chuck Norris didn't go to heaven, he had it delivered.
