I received only 4 titles this month; two from Crunchyroll on 5/4, and two from Amazon US on 5/13. I've been very busy taking care of my elderly mother who is now totally bed-ridden, so I haven't been very active on the anime front for a while. Also, my MSI All-in-One PC I use heavily decided to die on me, less than a year old so still under warranty. I had to pack it up and ship it out to California for repair, so it won't be back for a month.

Received 86 from HMV, saw the series had been taken off Crunchyroll and it seems to going OOS lots of places so I was lucky to get this for £25

Thank you, it's been a lot more work now to take care of her, but at least she still wants to watch anime with me on her bedroom TV.
I've had the Japanese release of OddTaxi in my collection for a couple of years, the version which includes English subs, but I figured I'd finally pick up the US release as well.

Hah! When I saw your post I was wondering why you didn't buy the Japanese version instead. I should have known...

My heart skipped a beat seeing this at my local city anime shop.
The first new (at the time) Magical Girl anime that I watched was Shakugan no Shana series 1.

Got my order from MediaOCD last week. Next month I’ll need to order a region-free blu ray player if I am going to get my Yoshiaki Kawajiri fix.
All from Browns Books. Two recent Arrow Video Limited Edition UHD releases, and two from Cult Films/Shameless. Most of these will likely be Halloween watches.
Small ramble/rant but I wish Shameless would invest in thicker outer boxes as these thin ones are easy to damage/crease/crush, especially in the case of Suspiria wherein they used a 11mm case for what is clearly a 14mm sized outer box. Their discs have improved but the packaging has not!

May Haul #5
Two packages to wrap up this month's haul which arrived on Thursday.
#11: Back Arrow Part 2
#12: The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3
#13: Kodocha, Shin Aim for the Ace! & Zone of the Enders
#14: Heroes Two & Red Beard

#11: Back Arrow Part 2
The Crunchyroll Store package arrived from Stackry, and one of those items was for Back Arrow Part 2. I acquired Part 1 earlier which was originally part of this haul but they didn't have stock. Part 2 thankfully has the slipcase so I have consistency for the series which is nice.
#12: The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3
Next we have The Irregular at Magic High School Season 3 from Aniplex of America. In the previous monthly haul I acquired most of the anime that was previously released on Blu-ray a few years back and now I have the most recent release, meaning that I'm now caught up on the franchise ahead of the upcoming film that covers the next arc from the light novels.
The original plan was to have a haul that featured a couple of Aniplex of America releases, but the price was getting pretty steep and I wanted to see if any more could get brought over to the UK from MCM London Comic Con which didn't end up happening.

#13: Kodocha, Shin Aim for the Ace! & Zone of the Enders
Wrapping up the month of May is another Discotek Media haul which technically would have arrived way sooner, but myself not finalising my Crunchyroll Store haul for weeks is why it took almost a whole month later to get these items brought over.
Similar to the previous Discotek Media haul, this one is a combination of the Deep Dives batch and the recent releases as a way to both secure the newer releases that I wanted the most and grab a couple older ones whilst they were available.
Starting off with the Deep Dives batch we have Kodocha, the 1996-98 Studio Gallop series directed by Akitarō Daichi. This classic shoujo series was previously licensed by Funimation and even received an English dub, however they only covered the first half and never released or dubbed the second half. Discotek's release marks the latter half's English home video release debut and due to the materials available, the entire series is presented in a Standard Definition on Blu-ray format. Discotek Media released the series on SD-BD across two season sets in November 2021 and May 2023 respectively.
Next we have the new releases. First up we have Shin Aim for the Ace!, the 1978-79 TMS Entertainment series directed by Minoru Okazaki. Another shoujo sports series and pretty much the one of the last ones left to be released from the franchise by Discotek. Unlike the previous series, this one is a remake of the 1973 series so I'm curious to see how it differs from the original. Discotek Media released the series on Blu-ray in January 2026.
And last but not least is the Zone of the Enders Perfect Collection that features two anime titles based on Konami's cult classic mecha game series that Noriaki Okamura & Hideo Kojima worked on for the PlayStation 2, with the OVA prequel Zone of the Enders: 2167 Idolo, and television series Zone of the Enders: Dolores, i, both animated by Sunrise in 2001 and directed by Tetsuya Watanabe. ADV Films previously licensed and provided an English dub for both of them, so it's great to see these make a return on the HD format and together in a complete collection. Discotek Media released the collection on Blu-ray in March 2026.

#14: Heroes Two & Red Beard
Wrapping up the latest Asian Cinema pickups for May were two titles that didn't fit my other orders. I got both of these from the Terracotta store.
From 88 Films we have the latest Shaw Brothers release for their 88 Asia collection with Chang Cheh's 1973 film Heroes Two (方世玉與洪熙官), starring Chen Kuan-Tai (Crippled Avengers), Alexander Fu Sheng (The 8 Diagram Pole Fighter), Fong Sam (The Chase), Chu Mu (The Delightful Forest) and Wong Ching (Spiritual Kung Fu). This first print edition includes a slipcase, fold-out poster and booklet.
From British Film Institute we have Akira Kurosawa's 1965 film Red Beard ( 赤ひげ), starring Toshirō Mifune (Seven Samurai), Yūzō Kayama (Sanjuro), Tsutomu Yamazaki (Kagemusha), Reiko Dan (Sanjuro), and Miyuki Kuwano (Late Autumn). This first print edition includes a booklet.

Decided to jump on the might go out of print bandwagon.
I've already watched it but thought having a physical copy would be good.
I imagine it'll get a rewatch one day.
A weekend double bill with Schwarzesmarken? Or should that be with that show it's really connected to?

Golden Boy is a favorite of mine considering that it's kinda perverted. And if you want a region free player I'd highly recommend this one-Giec BD Player. Despite what the listing says there's a code you can enter that allows you to select A,B or C bd regions.
