More Ghibli and my SAO order from ATA (which came in a stupidly large box for 5 standard blu rays, but I appreciate all the plastic padding), remaining parts en route from HMV.
Got any more photos of the inside artwork?

You posted after my bedtime!
If still interested, I could do something tonight.

A few things have arrived this morning. The games I got from The Game Collection with their 2 for £15.00 offer as well as using a 10% discount code from a survey I filled out from them the other week on top of that.
Dragon Quest Heroes II (PS4), Street Fighter V: Champion Edition (PS4) and Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit (BD)

I took a gamble on a sale and order some things from suruga-ya, a Japanese chain store that had a free international shipping deal until June 6th Japan Time. The store processes used goods and the website is machine translated into English so it is a little awkward but still useable. Ordered my items on Thursday and they arrived in the UK on Monday so shipping is fast.
I got a few things for my Trigun Collection from the Yasuhiro Nightow Exhibition that celebrated the 25th anniversary of his storied career. First is 2 postcards of the Trigun manga and the commemorative art book collecting pieces from all of Nightow's franchises; Trigun, Gungrave and Blood Blockade Battlefront. Not as extensive as I would have hoped but still a solid piece that has multiple illustrations I have never seen before so it was worth getting. On top of that I got Trigun Volume 9 and 6 of laser disc. Because it is an interesting bit of history, they will look good on display and they were as cheaper than buying a poster. So I will look forward using suruga-ya again at some point.
You can also buy the original Anime Limited collector's edition of Cowboy Bebop on suruga-ya for £27. Which means someone in Japan brought it and then decided to part with it.

Double-post for today as I didn't know this was going to arrive today while I was at work this evening.
Despite not having yet played the games I used to love this movie when I was younger as my younger brother had it on DVD (he was big into the series).
This special edition of sorts was around the same price as the standard blu-ray on ebay so decided I might as well go for it. It's all cardboard so it's a little worn but nothing terrible.

Thanks @Otomo for the photos. Interesting to see the Multi-language title handled this way. I wonder if they decided to replace the amaray front cover instead because there was no unique artwork between the slipcase artwork and the case artwork.
Later this month we'll see the appearance of multi-Language French only titles (i.e. ones without German audio/subs) so I'm intrigued to see how that's handled.

Finally completed 90s Sailor Moon once again, but on Blu-Ray.
These Viz sets, while not flawless gave the series the justice that it deserves.
I can officially retire my Madman DVDs for good.
They served me well, but being on Blu-Ray in general as having a ton of extra features makes the sets feel more complete in my eyes, compared to the Madman Blu-Ray and DVD sets.
Thank you Viz Media for releasing these lovely and I hope someday AL will do a Sailor Moon UK home video revival using these sets video masters and producing nice looking CE sets for each season and movie.

I’ve neglected to do an update for a few weeks. So here is a few recent acquisitions.
One is not like the others
Finally started picking up the Inspector Wears Skirts series. Managed to get 3 with a slipcase from my local CEX. Also, season 5 of Adventure Time and my daughter loves watching it with me, so it’s nice to have some chill stuff to watch with her that’s not as long as a film.
One of these is not like the others too we technically A Thousand & One Nights and Cleopatra are a double pack. Grabbed this on eBay so I can watch them before Belladonna of Sadness as they are spiritually similar.
Also, the two Ghibli films are amongst my favourites so I finally picked them up. I thought I had them already which is why it took so long to grab them.
Not Ghibli, but I heard it’s similar in style to a lot of their films set around WWII, so I picked this up for a bargain on Music Magpie.
Moribito is the AoL deal of the week Fujiko is just something I’ve wanted for a while and I got it for £3 on eBay as I had a load of Nectar points saved up.
Also after watching the Space Adventure Cobra movie, I needed more Cobra in my life. I watched the first episode on the TMS YouTube channel and then decided to just make a purchase and I found this second hand a week later. Fate smiled on me for sure with that one. Once I’ve watched this, I’m hoping to pick up newer series from Sentai.
