What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[RadFemHedonist]

Fantasia, Bambi, Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty (all Disney Animated Classics versions) on Blu-ray

 

[Buzzkillington]

Decided to grab this now as it's cheaper to buy the PS4 version and upgrade to the PS5 one than it is to just buy the PS5 version.

 

[Ricteix1976]

Looking forward to watching this one...

Today's arrival is more 'man of culture' goodness with World's End Harem manga volumes 8-9 and World's End Harem: Fantasia manga volumes 2-3 from Seven Seas' Ghost Ship label. After the success of Yuuna and the Haunted Hot Springs in terms of pricing, packaging and postage speed, I decided to give Hive another shot and while the original plan was to acquire more Destiny Lovers volumes I couldn't miss the opportunity of using the 5% discount code on the more recent volumes for both of the WEH titles. By acquiring these four volumes, that wraps up the 2020 English releases for both of them which is very good progress.

Like before, packaging was very good (all in one Amazon cardboard style package with the zip) and the speed was once again Royal Mail 48 Hour Tracked which is better than the slow speeds of Blackwells, Book Depository, and Wordery. Pricing was also better than the other retailers. The only downside with Hive is that not every volume for various titles are in stock.

Anywho, going back on topic, World's End Harem is what you would expect - it's basically Y: The Last Man but set in Japan with a harem ecchi borderline-hentai concept to it, but don't worry it serialised in the same magazine as Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!, Kaiju No. 8, My Hero Academia: Vigilantes, and Spy x Family. World's End Harem: Fantasia is also part of Shonen Jump Plus, with the concept now set in a fantasy world so you can have ELLLOOFF into the mix! but don't worry it serialised in the same magazine as JoJolion and No Guns Life.

A rather non descript box (once I took the shipping label off), and inside (prepare for image overload)...

I ordered a starter record collection which was supposed to contain 20 7" records, but it had 2 extra which I call a bonus considering that at £23 it make that just over £1 per record and the set did contain a few that I'm looking for and likely would have cost me more looking for them on their own on ebay.

As a fellow man of culture would you recommend WEH: Fantasia? Think I read the first chapter but didn't really grab me so wonder if it gets better.

As a fellow man of culture would you recommend WEH: Fantasia? Think I read the first chapter but didn't really grab me so wonder if it gets better.

I've only read the first volume so far (I was going to read the scans like I did with WEH (though most of the chapters was myself looking at the images on the JP Shonen Jump Plus site every 2 weeks) but the schedule was different so I lost track lol) and it has some interesting ideas though the idea of "your blood will make girls horny" is not how I envisioned it but that was based on how the last chapter of the first volume went. Saying that though, I do like the MC himself (and the series has dark elves who are often under-used in harems!).

I say give the series a two volume rule before jumping in, as the pace of the English volumes will be slower than the others.

@CommanderZx2: Has Hanasaku Iroha inner print?

@CommanderZx2: Has Hanasaku Iroha inner print?

Do you mean the inside of the slipcover? It looks like the following.

 

[SkwigglesWorth]

2 amazon packages with a bunch of imports

The odd slip cover that looks a bit more battered than I would hope and bleach set 7 has alot of a rattle too it so I suspect there is some case damage.

 

[RadFemHedonist]

My Standard Edition US Blu-ray of Run With the Wind arrived yesterday evening from Amazon Italy (complete series, three discs, dubbed and subbed), will be nice to watch it again at some point, I have seen it subbed before am curious to see what the dub is like

I usually don't post photos anymore of what I bought, but I'll gladly make an exception for this one. Today I received Sword Art Online: Alicization Part 2 CE from @Geriatric hedgehog as at the time he ordered it, this set was sold out everywhere except Amazon UK but they didn't ship it outside the UK. So I was scared that I would never get this set and so did a shout out on the forum if someone could help me out getting it from the UK to Belgium, and sure enough someone stepped up to the challenge.

So thanks @Geriatric hedgehog for your help on getting this to me, can't thank you enough

Took a while to arrive, as it seems the local postal organisation is conjested with packages coming from non-EU countries, especially the UK. Still have one package from UP1 being held up since February 10th.

Meanwhile while my copy was in transit, Amazon UK luckily opened up that set to be ordered again from outside the UK. But that's not a general rule it seems as other pre-orders are still closed off.

Either way my set of SAO Alicization is complete now.
