2024 HAUL - APRIL CHAPTER: BATCH #5
Two packages as of late; one last Monday and another for today.
There's been a lot of interesting Eureka releases as per usual but I can't get every single one of them upfront. For the time being I went for Daniel Lee's 1996 film
Black Mask (黑俠) as it's being released as a limited edition rather than a first print edition. The reason here is because there are some additional versions of the film that are included exclusively on a second Blu-ray disc (so it's pretty much like how
The Millionaires' Express was handled).
I am interested in getting the
China O'Brien 4K release but was priced out for the time being (the Eureka pre-order bundle didn't have the 4K option included in the selection last I checked).
With
Burst Angel,
Samurai 7 and
Trinity Blood all arriving throughout the month, the fourth and final Gonzo Blu-ray upgrade makes its appearance with
Witchblade. This one I am familiar with thanks to the comic book's ties to
The Darkness but the Gonzo anime is an original story that is more or less set within the universe but not adapting the comic's story and characters.
Like
Trinity Blood we have a booklet to go with the release which is pretty much from the Funimation release. The Blu-ray is also an in-house Funimation SD Remaster upscale type so this won't be a native HD release like the others.
