OK, well, he would have to be holding a gun and go for a sex change, to be able to fit in with my avatar theme...

Today's arrival is Tenjo Tenge Omnibus 8 from publisher Viz Media via their SIGNATURE label. Arrived a lot quicker than I had expected and that just leaves me with one more book left for the series.

From the New World is a must have for my collection so I got the MVM blu rays after streaming it. However, I read there are issues in one of the discs. Apart from checking that they work, I haven't watched them yet but are there any major issues that a lay person will pick up/be affected by? Wondering if I should fork out to for the US version just in case...

@Geriatric hedgehog Here's the summary of the UK BD's problems, courtesy of the defective discs thread maintained by @Rui .
I don't know if the US release has any problems. I'll find out shortly...

She's the one character I didn't like the first time I watched it, since she's always hitting and insulting her supposed friends, and they keep excusing her behaviour. It bothers me how many Japanese authors think that girls get a free pass in that area. Aside from that, Kokoro Connect is an 8/10 for me.
And jeez, if that's is the worst anime your neighbour has seen, I can only assume you've never shown her any real bad anime. Try her on an episode of MD Geist or Recently My Sister Is Unusual to reset her calibrations.

I always show the neighbors anime from my collection I've already watched and enjoyed; they have very similar tastes in anime as I do, so everything I've shown them has been top tier to them. Kokoro Connect was a blind buy I had bought real cheap during a Sentai Sale and had never seen. She and I were deciding what to watch one week when her husband was away on drills with the military, and she picked it out from my shelf. Neither of us cared for the series, so it went into my sell pile. It's priced at only $10 right now in Sentai's current sale, so I'll be lucky to get $5 for it used. Thank goodness I didn't waste any more money on the OVA Blu-ray as well!
Sadly a couple of small breaks but easy to fix with some glue.

Really wasn't planning on buying this one, it was a last minute impulse buy from the All The Anime Easter Sale, but I'm glad I did.
Wolf's Rain Ultimate Edition, they did an amazing job with this set so had to share some pics.

Ah, didn't know that, thought it was a Spanish series originally. Thanks for letting me know.

All of the shows in my post are co-productions with various European countries providing the writing and I assume most of the money and Japan providing the production. One of the rules for being excepted on to the MAL database is that it aired in some way in Japan, so they all have Japanese dubs as well. I'm not sure whether any of the Western releases have those tracks on them though.Ah, didn't know that, thought it was a Spanish series originally. Thanks for letting me know.

Shield Hero is one of my fav Isekais so far, so I had to get the Limited Edition. The problem was how to get it with it being OOP and sold out.
Part 2 I managed to get from HMV, it seemed to be the last copy.
Part 1 (which has the rigid box) I tried a seller on Ebay who seemed to be listing several copies of the AUS version. They failed to ship it, I am pretty sure they never actually had it.
As luck would have it Amazon Italy had a couple of copies of the US version, with an asking price of 70 EUR. There is 1 left but the price is higher now, in case anyone else is interested in it.
Today it arrived, and I must say it's a really nice set!
You don't actually need Part 2 in Limited Edition format, as Part 2 is just the regular Bluray with sleeve, but you'd miss the light novel without it (which doesn't fit in the box, as shown here).
I have US Part 1 and UK Part 2. I could, if I wanted, get the regular UK Part 1 edition with sleeve to make my set fully UK compliant. Although it's the side which isn't on display.
Some of the extras:
The stuff in the additions box:
Unfortunately Amazon don't package these things well like MVM or Anime Ltd so, so it arrived slightly damaged. Mainly the crease line near the top, doesn't seem to want to uncrease:
But is not that surprising when you see how the box arrived, I'm fairly sure that's meant to be square not attempting to become a pancake!
