2025 HAUL - SEPTEMBER v2

#12: Naruto Set 4

#14: MediaOCD Store Haul

#12: Naruto Set 4
Arriving from MVM's store (and not Anime Limited this time around) is the fourth and final Naruto box set for the original series, with this one covering episodes 166-220 and only the final episode is canon in this release.
Considering I had never watched Naruto before (but I did read the first three volumes of the manga) I'm looking forward to checking the anime out and I had waited until all of the sets were out before I'll eventually start watching.
You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

#13: Lunar Remastered Collection
Earlier in the year we finally saw the Lunar Remastered Collection released and it's a JRPG that I've wanted to check out ever since I heard about the PlayStation releases. Thanks to Clear River Games we have a physical in Europe and after a long deliberation on which version to go for, I eventually settled with the PlayStation 4 version over Switch mainly due to performance and pricing.
This collection features the remakes for 1996's Lunar: Silver Star Story Complete and 1998's Lunar 2: Eternal Blue Complete, both released for the PlayStation and SEGA Saturn which in turn were based on the Sega CD releases from 1992 & 1994, with this new release including quality of life improvements (though they did use AI upscaling for the cutscenes) and a new English dub.

#14: MediaOCD Store Haul
A couple months ago Discotek revealed their October batch and they had two titles that I wanted to own much sooner than later, and since the distributor is making them available on MediaOCD's storefront, that was also a good opportunity to include a few other titles but since I'm sending them directly to the UK I went with a smaller haul.
DearS
2004 television anime series by studio Daume and director Iku Suzuki, based on the manga written by Peach-Pit. This ecchi harem series was another anime that I first heard about early on but from AniTubers, and Discotek eventually picked up the rights with a DVD release. I held off and surprisingly they released it in HD. Discotek Media released the series on Blu-ray in July 2025.
Golden Boy
1995 OVA anime series by studio A.P.P.P. and director Hiroyuki Kitakubo, based on the manga written by Tatsuya Egawa. It took over a decade for this opportunity and now I finally own this cult classic series. While Discotek released the DVD super early in their anime release line-up, it was one of the few to be region locked and considering the masters I simply never bothered to pick it up. Now we have this Blu-ray release, though upscaled, is more than enough for me to hop on and check it out. Also included is the classic English dub and also commentary from the main lead who also did the cover artwork for the English releases which is an interesting fact. Discotek Media released the series on Blu-ray in October 2025.
Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01
1987 OVA by studios AIC & Artmic and director Shinji Aramaki. This was the Appleseed director's first directorial work and while its only an episode I'm interested to check out this mecha gem. AnimEigo released the Blu-ray first in a kickstarter project but the new AnimEigo team re-released it (after a brief delay due to finding old stock that they wanted to get rid off first) with another new addition to the set - which was the UK English dub, to go alongside the US English dub and original Japanese. The MediaOCD Store also includes an exclusive slipcase to go with the set. AnimEigo released the OVA on Blu-ray in September 2025.
Urotsukidoji Collection 2: Sequels of the Overfiend
1990-1996 hentai OVA series & films by studio Phoenix Entertainment (Project Team Mu and West Cape Corporation) and directors Hideki Takayama and Shigenori Kageyama, based on the manga written by Toshio Maeda. Anime exploitation continues with this collection that I am amazed went as far as including the later additions to the franchise, as I was originally expecting it to focus only on Overfiend and Demon Womb which is what Manga Entertainment released in the UK.
This second collection contains Urotsukidōji II: Legend of the Demon Womb (1990-91 OVA series) and the 1991 theatrical version, Urotsukidōji III: Return of the Overfiend (1992-93 OVA series) and the 1993 theatrical version, Urotsukidōji IV: Inferno Road (1993-95) and the 1995 theatrical version, Urotsukidōji V: The Final Chapter (1996 OVA) and Lord of Chaos Theater V2: The Legend of Crazed Demon Beasts (1996 theatrical compilation film).
Everything here is presented in its original uncut and uncensored form and also in standard definition as Discotek could only find the elements for the first theatrical film. Back in the day, the UK ratings board cut each episode and even refused classification for two of three episodes for Inferno Road to the point where distributor Kiseki Films had to not only make a note about it on the set's back cover but also include the scripts so consumers didn't miss out on the context. Apparently Inferno Road was intended to be the original conclusion and then The Final Chapter came along which was left incomplete. There was a 2002 adaptation called Urotsukidoji: New Saga (also known in Japan as The Urotsuki) but that's not included with this set since the license belongs to Critical Mass Video.
The Discotek SD-BD release also includes a 4:3 aspect ratio version for one of the Inferno Road episodes, Special Erotic Collections, Promos, English Credits, and more importantly Liner Notes that provide much needed context for a lot of the series, especially considering the fact that going from Overfiend to Demon Womb is a bit of a whiplash if you didn't know the context beforehand. Discotek Media released the collection of OVAs/films on SD-BD in October 2025.

I never said Inferno Road was released uncut in the UK. Kiseki Films only released one of the episodes which was still cut.

#15: In My Skin, Rosa la Rose & World Noir Volume 4
Another batch of Radiance Films and this time focused primarily on their French catalogue of titles that were released this year, two of these are also relatively new releases.
The first is In My Skin (Dans ma peau), Marina de Van's 2002 film which is part of the New French Extremity movement, and also presented in 4K Ultra HD. The film stars the director in the role as well, and the premise sounded intriguing so I wanted to check it out.
Next we have another film that had my curiosity and was released a few months ago, which was Rosa la rose, fille publique, Paul Vecchiali's 1985 film starring Marianne Basler (Midnight in Paris) and Jean Sorel (The Day of the Jackal). These two are presented in Radiance Film's limited edition packaging with scanavo case, reversible sleeves and a booklet.
And to wrap up World Noir Volume 4 was pretty quick to be released which I heard was due to delays with a World Neo-Noir box set of sorts, and this set focuses entirely on French films restored by Gaumont inspired by the Golden Age of Hollywood - Henri Decoin's 1955 film Chnouf (Razzia sur la chnouf), Édouard Molinaro's 1958 film Back to the Wall (Le Dos au mur) and Marcel Bluwal's 1962 film Paris Pick-Up (Le Monte-charge).

#16: Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles
Continuing the remaster bandwagon for Square Enix is Final Fantasy Tactics: The Ivalice Chronicles, which brings back the 1997 PlayStation Tactical RPG classic with the newer translation from the 2007 PSP release War of the Lions and introducing quality of life improvements as well as a brand new English dub. While I own the original PS1 version via the PlayStation 3 classics release, I didn't get around to playing it considering I figured they would bring this back - especially when it was also one of the many titles revealed from the NVIDIA leak./SPOILER]
