2024 HAUL - JULY CHAPTER: BATCH #2
I've had a long streak of work for the past eight days (yes I am an overworked individual) so now I had the time to see the latest packages. One arrived on Monday, another arrived yesterday and the final one today.
It's surreal to see an English version of the classic Type-Moon visual novel, though it's just one half. Tsukihime -A Piece of Blue Glass Moon- was localised by Aniplex of America and just like the anime, they went for the limited edition only model like Witch on the Holy Night (though this game was given an import friendly release in Japan & Asia). Since Tsukihime already received a release in Japan months ago, I had to go for the North American release from Aniplex of America.
I went with Video Games Plus because I'm happy with their handling of the UK market. £76 to get the limited edition over here (free shipping & VAT covered). There is a European physical version but it's handled by a Taiwanese distributor and not only is it way more expensive to get, it's not even released in Europe. Thank goodness for Switch being region free. Not opened the artbook due to spoilers.
Been a while since I picked up a World Cinema Radiance title and one that's been on my radar recently released in the June line-up. This is the limited edition Blu-ray box set for The Agitator: Three Provocations from the Wild World of Jean-Pierre Mocky, featuring three films from the French director - 1982's Litan: The City of Green Ghosts (Litan: La cité des spectres verts), 1984's Kill the Referee (À mort l'arbitre) and 1987's Agent Trouble.
This month's latest Eureka Entertainment titles arrived today which I didn't expect. The first is Jeong Chang-hwa's 1976 Hong Kong film The Double Crossers (鬼計雙雄) which is part of the Eureka Classics range and comes with a slipcase and booklet. The other is Kinji Fukasaku's 1978 Japanese film Message from Space (宇宙からのメッセージ) as part of the Masters of Cinema line-up, comes with a slipcase, booklet and poster. I ordered both from their July early bird offer when they revealed both titles.

I'm not entirely sure how to wean myself off overly frequent clothes shopping retail therapy, but I'll keep trying, that said I'm super happy with what I got this time (I was prepared to return anything that didn't fit or was poor quality, but that won't be needed on this occasion). I have started up my weekly goals again and I'm dating a rly lovely guy now so hopefully having other reasons to be cheerful will help me feel less of a need to shop for distractions... and the overalls help me to channel my inner 5 year old
