This also arrived, will have to get the set for the second remastered collection now that’s been announced.
 
Went out into town today and grabbed some bits. Still didn't have a Switch case since I got my OLED so was about time I got one.

While I was in GAME I also found Persona 5 Tactica for £11.99 brand new which I couldn't pass up on.

The One Piece manga and Spy x Family light novel were from Waterstones and the Spy x Family socks I found in Primark.

Persona 5 Tactica (PS5), Spy x Family: Family Portrait (LN) and One Piece: Shokugeki no Sanji (Manga)

I got my preordered-during-early-bird copy of The Demon Girl Next Door Season 2 on Blu-ray as well, plus my Arrtx Acrylic Paint Marker 60b - Anime Colours Set, and my boots and shawl from Temu that I ordered a week or two ago - the acrylic markers seem to have beautiful colours that match the caps (I find swatching really tedious so this pleases me greatly lol) from my initial tests, and the boots and shawl fit me very nicely so far though ofc I'll need to wear the boots outside to see if they are comfortable when I'm actually properly walking around in them :)

You really need stop buying stuff from temu.people have had chemical burns from products bought from temu.

Thankyou for the advice, I'm really ok though, how did the chemical burns occur? I am as previously noted buying less from there for various ethical and personal development reasons (by the latter I mean that I don't want shopping to be my main hobby/one of my main hobbies or feel like it is), but I don't necessarily plan to phase it out entirely at this point in time, I have loads of stuff I've bought from there and I've worn most of it outside, gotten various items wet, etc. and I have not gotten a chemical burn of any kind.

(Plus, tbh I'm more concerned about workers in their factories getting hurt by stuff like that, as at least I have more of a choice in what products I'm buying and whatnot).
 
Yeah, I think it's probably pretty unlikely for clothes or pens to burst into green flame unless you live in a gag anime.

My thoughts exactly, and I didn't even get the pens from Temu, they were from Amazon, though I did buy a 150-colour Prismacolour set of coloured pencils from Temu once! :)

Also worth noting that Amazon sell a lot of the same things as are on Temu, just for significantly higher prices 😅
 
Nice one. That cheered me up.

One of my favourite bits is Homer crashing into some goalposts and a few seconds later they burst into flames

Generally stuff randomly catching on fire is pretty funny 🤣

The 60a set of Arrtx markers arrived today, really looking forward to using both sets to make some beautiful artworks :)

That wasn't the 8bitdo ultimate 2C wireless controller I was intending on getting as I'd originally pre-ordered the mint version that was listed on Amazon last month, but after checking on Saturday only to find it was marked as temporarily out of stock while other variants were listed as in stock I started to worry and by Sunday evening there was no improvement on the status of it actually changing so I cancelled that order and between the purple and peach versions (which were the only ones in stock) the peach version won out.
 
2024 HAUL - OCTOBER CHAPTER: BATCH #3

Have today off work due to working the past weekend but in return we have a few more items arrive recently.


PS5 Haul 6 - Visions of Mana.jpg

Two more games for the collection.

First up we have a classic PS1 JRPG receiving a HD remaster a few years ago by Square Enix with SaGa Frontier, originally released in 1997 and was not released in Europe back in the day. SaGa is an odd franchise because of its non-linear style of gameplay where you can choose between different characters and play how you want it to go. There is a linear story but a lot of options. I have also heard the difficulty can be pretty tough at parts but this remaster does support 2x speed like Final Fantasy's remasters have. Similarly to Chrono Cross, the remaster's physical release was only available in Asia but it supports English which is nice.

Next we have the latest Atlus JRPG from the developers of Persona 3-5 with Metaphor: ReFantazio. My pre-order was actually delayed due to stock issues from The Game Collection but in return I received a £10 discount voucher that I put towards Ys X. Metaphor is a game that I've honestly kept blind towards to go in with not knowing much as I found that learning more about the game can sometimes spoil the experience, but I'm glad that its done well in reviews and I am aware its as challenging as Shin Megami Tensei than Persona which is fine.



J-Horror Rising - 08A.jpg

This was a surprise to find arrive a week early than its expected release date. Arriving from Terracotta is Arrow Video's new limited edition box set called J-Horror Rising, which features seven Japanese films from six directors. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

The films included are Shunichi Nagasaki's 1999 film Shikoku (死国), Toshiyuki Mizutani's 2000 film Isola: Multiple Personality Girl (ISOLA 多重人格少女), Masato Harada's 2001 film Inugami (狗神), Ten Shimoyama's 2001 film St. John’s Wort (弟切草), Kōji Shiraishi's 2007 film Carved: The Slit-Mouthed Woman (口裂け女), Takashi Komatsu's 2000 film Persona (仮面学園) and Kōji Shiraishi's 2005 film Noroi: The Curse (ノロイ).

Always neat to have more slightly modern Japanese horror films given we already have various classics from different distributors or the most common ones already released in either Blu-ray or in 4K. There's still more left to be rescued or brought over to the UK so I'm curious to see if Arrow will plan more box sets like this in the future.
