Starting off with novels! The first one is Yukito Ayatsuji's
Another 2001, a horror novel that was released a few years ago and is presented in hardcover format just like the other ones in the franchise. Pretty thicc book too.
We also have more light novels joining the collection, both of which I have enjoyed watching their anime adaptations. The first is Toru Toba's
The Genius Prince's Guide to Raising a Nation Out of Debt, a fun fantasy series and one that I do want to own on Blu-ray, and the second is Miku's
I Got a Cheat Skill in Another World and Became Unrivaled in the Real World, Too, a unique isekai with a neat artstyle.
Next we have one manga series with two volumes and that's Haro Aso's
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, which is also getting an anime series soon. This series is from the creator of Alice in Borderland.
For anime we have two One Piece films on Blu-ray, both distributed by Manga Entertainment then Funimation UK before rebranding as Crunchyroll. The films are Hiroaki Miyamoto's
One Piece Film: Gold, the 13th film, and Takashi Ōtsuka's
One Piece: Stampede, the 14th film. I've watched the latter when it was in the cinema.
Over in the Asian Cinema section we have a film that I only found out was made in the past few months when I was at the cinema, and that's Hirokazu Kore-eda's
Broker (브로커). Yep that's right - it's a Korean film by a Japanese director, and it's distributed by Picturehouse, who are also a cinema chain like Curzon. Since it was released on Blu-ray I decided to include it for the haul.
Last but not least we have two video games for the PlayStation 4 collection. The first is
Dissidia Final Fantasy NT, the console version of the well-loved fighting arcade game that includes characters from each major Final Fantasy game. This version was not well-received ironically but was so cheap I figured I'll include it whilst it was available.
The second is
Shadow of the Colossus remake, which was developed by Bluepoint Games. I held off owning this remake because I had the original that I wanted to try out first as well as the fact that I didn't own the better console for PS4 at the time, then when the PS5 came along there was some technical issues which did get resolved once it was added onto PS Plus.
