On a slightly different note, I get all the indie distributors trying to stand out from one another with their cover artists like Kung Fu Bob, Sean Longmore, Darren Wheeling and 'Gokaiju'.
But can you really promote the ROoT 1&2 as featuring NEW Artwork from Gokaiju when to me that just looks like a photoshop job?! Especially compared to the US Arrow release 🤷‍♂️

Is it just me? Obviously I'm no cover artist and I totally understand work goes into it just seems alot more work goes into some than others...
 
Thanks too Hunter_Killer for spotting this and posting up in the bargins thread.
Akudama Drive CE, seems to have been the only one the dispatched from my order so far and already arrived.

For anyone curious was sent in this packaging, so reasonable chance of getting an undamged copy. The card is pretty thick but obviously no bubble wrap (and probably up to the random packager you get)

I received one UK import from AOL today - so much nicer as a CE than the US release:

El Hazard The Alternate World Collector's Edition

August Haul - Batch #01

The first arrival of the month is the Eureka Masters of Cinema Blu-ray release of Johnnie To's Running Out of Time 1 & 2 (暗戰). As I picked up the director's previously released works from Eureka (Mad Detective, PTU, Throw Down) earlier in the year, I immediately pre-ordered this collection.



Also arrived is the Rightstuf Birthday sale haul, which features 1 Funimation title, 2 Maiden Japan titles, and 3 Sentai Filmworks titles.

Starting off with the Funimation limited edition Blu-ray release of Fire Force Season 2 Part 2. I also picked up the UK version of Part 1 last week which I didn't show, but regardless I now own the whole season. I watched Season 1 during simulcast but didn't do the same for Season 2. You can view more photos & specs on my blog.

Next we have the re-release version of Patlabor: The Mobile Police Collection on Blu-ray. This includes the 'Movie timeline' which consists of The Early Days OVA series (7 episodes), Patlabor: The Movie, Patlabor 2: The Movie, and WXIII: Patlabor 3, as well as the 'Television timelime' with the TV series (49 episodes) and The New Files OVA series (16 episodes). 15 Blu-ray discs in total as well.

And here we have more Sentai titles - Sunrise's infamous mecha series Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon, which got me intrigued thanks to Super Robot Wars V, OLM & AIC's GODANNAR!! for the best visual fanservice experience with designs by Takahiro Kimura, the J.C.Staff film Is it Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Arrow of the Orion for more adventures with Bell & Hestia, and the definition of 'this exists' with Redo of Healer.
