What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

I received two more parts out of eight from CDJapan today (English subtitled):

Moriarty the Patriot 3
Moriarty the Patriot 4

First batch of May stuff, only Jojo Golden Wind part 1 and Resident Evil 8 left, IIRC.

Found Modern Warfare at an obscene price that you don't see around here new (the equivalent of 15 quid or something) and I'm a sucker for MW campaigns.

Watchmen is one of the best series I've watched that actually uses the book to great effect. It's incredible.

And then, the crown jewel maybe, the AL French limited edition for FranXX. Quite curious about that one.

Paging :

@ayase to know if you've started watching!

and

@Geriatric hedgehog and @Neil.T for pics of the thing

And that's it because of the 10 file limit!

The digipak has a weird print thing going on but I'm assuming it's on purpose for a (weak) 3d effect, considering the logo.

The art book paper is kinda not very good, but the contents are great, between characters, mechas, background, key animation (tiddies and as.s included) and chibi manga.

All in all, though, looks great!

Goddamn, after a thousand edits I've mostly managed to hide the pics. Urgh. I need a PhD in forum posting.

Yeah, you called it, João: it is indeed based off the logo. It's the same on the front covers of the Manga UK release. In fact, when I bought part 1, I initially thought it was a bad printing.

But wow, that's a nice set you've got yourself there. I'm looking forward to you seeing the show. 😁
 

Here we go bud! 👍 After seeing @João Gomes post, I'm definitely quite interested myself. Though will probably import at a later time due to self scheduled wallet cooldown ❄️

Yeah I've been overspending a bit lately, it doesn't look like they're gonna sell out in a hurry either considering there are 2000 of them. Shame they didn't accidentally include English language versions :)
 
Very good @Lordhippos. Very, very good, as per usual! I don't know if I'm more stunned that you always have one of those at the ready or that I couldn't think of that myself lol yeah, there are copies on sale all over for something with only 2000 copies made, so you and @SAHO should be fine!

@Neil.T oh yeah, I'm getting into this asap, very curious and need some mecha action in my system 🤤 and romance too, I suppose 🤔

Sunday package from Amazon EU (these guys are on another level. Literally ordered 2 days ago). German BD Vol 1. release for TRIAGE X w/ Slipbox.

The Germans are at it again. The innovation that goes into presenting their releases is simply 👨‍🍳🤌💋.

Removable FSK age rating sticker ✅
Reversible Blu-ray cover art to hide FSK ✅
Thin Blu-ray case for reduced storage ✅
Additional space to place UK release BD inside Slipbox ✅(non intentional but still 100 steps ahead)

The UK releases used to be seriously nerfed back in the days, perhaps still are. Though seriously, the Germans are just built different 😂 Look how cool their Clannad sets and many other titles were 👀

Ah, good old chromatic aberration, one of the most unfortunate (not to mention lazy) art/design trends of recent years.

Cheers for the photos. I think AL france use the thin paper type boxes that Aniplex use for some of their releases occasionally. Is the box for this one chipboard?

Yeah, the box is actually alright, rigid and chipboard (I would assume, at least it feels like their UK counterparts), it's just the artbook that feels kinda flimsy.

I only have AL France's Fate UBW sets otherwise but they're gorgeous (even the paper on the artbooks) and they have a beautiful metallic rainbow effect on the illustrations in the back of the box!

3 more Jackie Chan films from 88 Films, Shaolin Wooden Men, New Fist of Fury & Snake In the Eagle's Shadow.

With those 3 films added, I have most of the UK Jackie Chan releases (that aren't his American films or post 2000). There are various OOP ones I hope (and I think will do) reappear with 88 Films and there is that Eureka release of Last Hurrah for Chivalry + Hand of Death which could be included in this too but otherwise, that's most of them.
