UK Anime Blu-ray & DVD Bargains

We use reshipping to order from Sentai, for example check this thread. Stackry (re-shipping/import) infomation/guides

Do note the discs will also be USA BD region, so you'll need a multi region Blu-ray player.

Well every single Sentai disc since 2015 has worked on all video game consoles that have a Blu-ray player so they don't need to buy a multi-region player for these titles (basically if you have a PS5, Series X or PS4 you're all good - if you want to go deeper, a PS5 Slim with a Detachable Disc Drive apparently lets you access Region A).

Possibly also worth mentioning you can use a PC blu-ray drive and Leawo player to play blu-rays from all regions while bypassing the limited number of region changes a drive will usually allow. Not sure how many people have disc drives (or even drive bays) in their PCs any more though.

It's pretty easy to get an external enclosure for them, there are a few drives that you can mod the firmware too so they'll read 4K discs which is usually blocked on PCs.
 
I figured I might as well add a couple, so I can get them sent to the UK with my CR order:

MADE IN ABYSS: The Golden City of the Scorching Sun Complete Collection Blu-ray $19.99
MADE IN ABYSS Theatrical Collection Blu-ray $19.99
Listen to Me Girls. I Am Your Father! Complete Collection Blu-ray $8.99
Kabukibu! Complete Collection Blu-ray $5.99

Irritatingly, after a kerfuffle with payments, I found PayPal charged me over £1 more than my credit card (£45.50ish vs £44.06). I noticed a number of cheaper items from yesterday had vanished when I went looking for them tonight. Must have sold out.
 
my Sentai haul:
Maria Holic (Seasons 1 & 2) $8.99 - one of their weaker shows but I'll buy anything from 2000s Shaft/Shinbo
Hakumei & Mikochi $6.99 - super cute show at a great price
Maoyu $11.99 - enjoyed this when it aired (looks it up) ... 11 years ago! holy **** do I feel old now
Waiting in the Summer $8.99 - also enjoyed this when it aired (now scared to look it up) ... 12 years ago, good grief shoot me now
Maria Watches Over Us S1-4 $19.99 - that's a lot of pointy nose yuri for your buck!

How easy is easy? I wouldn't mind getting one for my BD drive since my current PC doesn't have any 3.5" drive bays in the case, but all the enclosures I've seen on Amazon are pricey enough that you'd be better just buying a new external drive. The actual cheap ones seem to be for laptop drives.

You're better off going to Ali Express for that kind of thing. They're about half the price of Amazon.

If you're looking for something neater the Fractal Pop cases have a hidden 5.25inch bay at the bottom, not much more than the enclosures on Amazon either though will be a bit of work changing over the case.

You don't need an enclosure, an adapter will do the job. I use one of these to connect my BD drive to my laptop via USB,.

There are many others like this in existence, just be sure to get one that comes with the 12V 2A power supply, as that will be required for a 3.5" drive.

I specifically bought one for when I finally replaced my relic of a laptop, first shocked that the new-but-old desktop I got didn't come with one built in (how rude), and then shocked and disappointed at how limited the options to get a separate blu ray player actually were. Still haven't gotten around to using Leawo or an equivalent to watch a single one of my imports though😞
 
Naruto Shippuden VIZ Blu-ray sets 1 to 4 can be had at Amazon US for around £93 (all in, including delivery and VAT). They are running a 3 for 2 offer (which includes sets 1 to 3), set 4 is not included in this offer, but it's already down to $19.99 as part of a Black Friday sale anyway.

Works out at about £23 per set with everything included.
