What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

But, but, I only see one t-shirt there! I don't recognize the character, either, so maybe she's from a series I haven't seen? I always wanted to try an audiobook sometime to play in my car on the way to and from work, since it's a 45 minute drive each way.

I purchased a sweatshirt and two 20 oz ceramic coffee mugs that are on the way to me, but they are all Trump merchandise so I won't be able to post them in here, lol. 🥸

I got 2 exactly the same.
It's Mizuki Tachibana from the great Mecha drama Gravion.
 
Ah Ok, that explains why I don't recognize her, she's from a mecha anime, and I do very little mecha - with what appears to be a uniform of some kind, I was thinking she might have been a Gundam character.

Could you please check if the eye catches and signs are properly subtitles anytime they appear concurrently to dialogue? The french subtitles [also on the discs] are confirmed to lack all of them. Episode 1 should have plenty of such instance.

I own the set. I have checked the first episode with English subtitles. I can confirm that signs are subtitled correctly with concurrent dialogue.

I played the French version as well, and yes, only the dialogue is subtitled, there is no subtitle for the on-screen Japanese text when there is dialogue present at the same time (e.g., where it's supposed to say "SOUL SOCIETY DEPARTMENT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT")

Although, it seems odd the subtitled dialogue is at the bottom (where the Japanese text is) and the sign subtitle is at the top!
 
And so begins the long journey to collect all 500 episodes of Naruto Shippuden.

VIZ sets 1 to 4 (from Amazon US) takes us to episode 110, so already over one fifth of the way there! Set 5 is due out January next year, and yes, I'll pick up the AL sets as well, when they eventually get round to them; Naruto is just an all-timer for me (don't @ me :cool: ).

Wow, I'm not a fan of Naruto whatsoever, but I love that they're doing a panorama image spanned across the front of the slipcovers instead of just on the spine. I wonder if they'll keep adding to just that single image throughout all the releases, or if they will split it up to do multiple spanned images... A single panorama image would be awesome!

They did something similar on the US covers for the original series, albeit the panoramic image only lasted 4 sets and then the other 4 sets made up a separate image:


Going by the cover of Shippuden set 5, it looks like it's going to be the start of a new panoramic image, so it's likely there'll be a new image every 4 sets or so; there's going to be 18 sets in total for VIZ's release of Shippuden, so we'll have to see how they handle it.
