What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

I had a few packages all at once today.

Firstly, I received MVM's deal of the week for this week, which is Accel World. Bit of a punt, but it seemed interesting.

Then, a couple of Arrow pre-orders direct from Arrow themselves, that I was quite excited about when they were announced: Trick 'r Treat 4K, which I've never actually seen before but always seems to be praised as one of the better horror films. I also received J-Horror Rising; this was purchased mainly for Noroi: The Curse (2005), but I'm interested to watch the other films too.

And finally. My first ever Crunchyroll US order via Stackry arrived today as well. The English dub of the original Beyblade series. While the English dub edits and changes more than a few things, this is pure nostalgia for me - additionally, the English soundtrack for a children's show about spinning tops has no business being this good! Glad to nab these for a normal price whilst I can.

All in all, Stackry was a pretty smooth process, shipping was reasonable, and arrived within the delivery estimate. No 20% VAT to pay either, which was a bonus!
 
2024 HAUL - OCTOBER CHAPTER: BATCH #4

Two more items arrived this past week. There is going to be more but given the days getting darker they won't be in good lighting so the final batch of October is going to be posted in November instead (and its a long weekend given we have three unboxings to deal with i.e. BLEACH Set 1, BLEACH: Thousand Year Blood War Part 1 & Naruto Set 1).

Another Japanese RPG arrives! Here we have Ys X: Nordics, the 10th main instalment in the Ys franchise by developer Falcom. NIS America once again is distributing the game in the west and I plan to play this at some point, given I'm still going through Metaphor. I enjoyed Ys Origin, Ys: Memories of Celceta (Ys IV remake), Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana and Ys IX: Monstrum Nox so far, and there's sadly no buzz for this one which is a shame. More people need to play the Ys games.

Much like NISA's recent releases, the deluxe edition is essentially their first print editions that come with a mini-booklet and a digital soundtrack. There's no reversible cover here compared to previous titles.

Macross finally reaches the west in the modern age with Macross Plus Ultimate Edition from Anime Limited. While AnimEigo are still cooking their Macross II release and Nozomi/Crunchyroll are in limbo on Macross 7, Macross Frontier and Macross Delta, Anime Limited ended up being the first to get theirs out of the door. It's a very nice release and while the discs are quite hard to remove from their slots, the overall package is great. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

Are the Macross Plus discs held in with the same memory foam circles as the Evangelion UE or is it something else?
