April 2022 Batch 7!

Picked up a couple more manga volumes. Starting off with Jujutsu Kaisen Volume 6 which is now back in stock in recent weeks so I picked it up while it was available. Basically need Volumes 10+ now which I can save for Travelling Man if I need to.

I also picked up GIGANT Volume 6 which had finally gone down in price that wasn't SRP level. I had a look at the release schedule and it seems the remaining four volumes will all be out this year so that's neat.

In addition to the on-going manga, I also picked up Blue Giant Omnibus 1. This is a well-received jazz manga series and Seven Seas recently wrapped up the releases as there were only 10 volumes across 5 omnibuses overall. There is an anime film in the works but I wanted to own it first.

This is why I love this site!

I didn't know Blue Giant is now available!

Thanks @NormanicGrav, I just ordered all five omnibus editions.

I met the mangaka at the manga exhibition back in 2019 and he drew this for me :)

Do not ever complain about something being over-packaged - Too many anime items are severely under-packaged, so just be glad you got something undamaged through the mail because of that excessive packaging!
Yeah, nothing like getting something limited edition only to find Amazon just stuck a big shipping label directly to the box and sent it unpackaged.

It's happened to me twice.
 
I just wish more Japanese anime releases were English subtitled - although I'd be broke for sure... Do you rip and add subtitles for non-friendly JP releases you pickup? I have quite a few JP Blu-rays that I can't really watch because they need subtitles, but I've never tried to go that route, seems very time consuming. It would definitely be much easier to do a movie, but individual episodes of a series would really take some work. o_O
 
Nope, I just watch them as is :D My Japanese isn’t all that great, but I know enough to undertsand what’s happening. With these, I now have 9 non-friendly JP releases.

Ah, That's great if you can understand Japanese! I have a few JP non-English releases that I can think of off the top of my head, but I bought them just for collection's sake, because they had really nice boxes or slipcovers. I was thinking I might add English version discs to the sets at some point, although that is much harder to do if they use digipaks:

Violet Evergarden - 4 boxsets
Ancient Magus' Bride - 4 boxsets
Made in Abyss - 2 boxsets
Space Battleship Yamato 2202 - 7 singles
Space Battleship Yamato 2205 - 1 single so far, second one just released in March.
World's End Harem - 2 singles, with the other 2 on pre-order.
Garden of Sinners DVD boxsets - got these 7 box sets just for the OST disc in each one, and gorgeous art on the boxes.

I know I have more non-English JP sets in my collection, but I'm at work so I can't review my shelves.

Had enough of waiting and I'm really enjoying Lupin right now so I left my humanity behind and got the Italian Blu-rays - I'll just watch these with no subs, f it.

Lovely release, 30 page booklet filled with artwork and small card for each movie. Flimsy slipcase, though. 472/1000

Love these.

Edited because I don't know how to write coherently.
 
April 2022 Batch 8!

The limited edition WONDER EGG PRIORITY Blu-ray & DVD release from Crunchymationga UK arrived today via UP1. It's a pretty nice box, though I did notice they re-used the standard edition artwork once again. WELP is a good show with an awful ending, so while I do recommend it to people I wouldn't prioritise it from other shows in your backlog. You can find more photos/specs on my blog.

Also arrived are GANTZ Omnibus 6 & 7, which cover Volumes 16-21 of the sci-fi seinen manga series from Hiroya Oku. Surprising that I've almost caught up with the Omnibus releases but I figured I'll get it sorted sooner than later. Omnibus 8 is available while Omnibus 9 is not yet released but I'll see if I can get both together later this quarter.

And like a few folks here, the replacement disc for Neon Genesis Evangelion's bonus disc arrived today. This has the subtitles that were missing in the live-action deleted scene for End of Evangelion. I will say though, the fact that Anime Limited haven't been public on this disc replacement scheme is rather baffling and quite insulting to the UK community who spent £180-200 on this release.
 
I've received some Switch games I pre-ordered a while ago:
Neptunia x Senran Kagura: Ninja Wars - Limited Edition

Plushies - the lighting is rather poor in this image giving them look duller than they are.

Acrylic stand - looks nicer in person, the photo is a some what washed out.

DIY 'tentacle's - it's actually stockings that have a special design to them.

Eternally salty about AL's ridiculously priced UE for Bebop (and salty for not having bought it) thanks to what amounts to a bebop themed oversized lunchbox, I had my eye on dybex's 20th anniv. edition for a while.

Turns out for like 60 eur (discounted), it's pretty incredible. The disc holders are absolute scheisse but that's OK.

Vinyl-sized with 2 especially commissioned artwork pieces from the chara and mecha designers for this edition (unless dybex were bullshting), artbook full of promotional art from magazines, osts and other editions and products, 3 CD ost and the series itself over 7 DVDs and 5 Blu-rays.

This is the third time I buy Bebop, but it won't be the last. I'm looking at dybex's other Bebop Blu-rays which have a full version of what AL gave us for their CEs - character designs, mechanical designs, settings, it's like 200 pages I think.
