What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[HWR]

Crunchyroll UK pushed the boat out and gave me a large crumpled sheet of paper, sat on top of the below LE sets.

Will unbox properly tomorrow to see if there’s any damage but from the outset I’ve been pretty lucky…or have I.

Saw this for a good price on eBay so snapped it up. When I'll actually get around to watching all 9 hours or so of this trilogy, who knows...

These arrived a few days ago, I like most of them but returned the green/coral shirt as the print quality of the image was terrible, I would note that while I do like the rainbow tree hoodie and jaguar/leopard sweatshirt, they do not have consistently stellar print quality overall - I would def recommend being careful on Temu to make sure a product has lots of good reviews before you buy and remember that sometimes there are multiple listings for the same thing but some will be higher quality hence the importance of reading reviews, particularly if you are buying items at additional discounts that are offered on the app, try to load up the exact same item product page on your computer to look for reviews (esp with photos or videos) before you buy - I've mostly been quite careful about that kind of stuff but have prob faltered a bit due to my depression/low mental state combined with all the Black Friday sales and deals of late, and want to help others avoid making the same mistakes

I also got my Anime Limited 12 Days of Xmas sale items:

Ascendance of a Bookworm Seasons 1+2 Standard Blu-ray
Beautiful Bones: Sakurako's Investigation Standard Blu-ray
El-Hazard: The Alternative World Standard Blu-ray
Lupin the 3rd Part 6 Standard Blu-ray

Mobile Suit Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphans: Part 2 Standard Blu-ray
My-HiME Standard Blu-ray
Somali and the Forest Spirit Standard Blu-ray

Durarara Season 2 Complete Parts 1-3 Collector's Edition Blu-rays

And Buddy Daddies Blu-ray - thanks again to @Otomo!

Plus I bought this cute Xmas tree ornament from the library shop when I was out seeing a friend

Start Beautiful Bones first.

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Start Beautiful Bones first.

I thought you might say that! Unfortunately, given that it has no English dub it will likely be a while before I get around to it - I think when I bought it the product page on AL's webshop did say that it's got English audio, and that's part of why I bought it (the other reason is ofc cuz I've heard it's a rly good show)... I'm still working my way thru Is the Order a Rabbit?, that's about all the subbed anime I can handle at once haha XP

Oh well, I'll read your opinion in the future.
I got stuck with Is the Order a Rabbit at about episode 6. A bit too sugary sweet for me, I think.
I own all three seasons.

Seems my items from yesterday escaped any damage though removing those info-cards was fun:

I’m not sure CR UK put enough glue on this one for MHA S6 P2.

Tut tut tut, skimping on such an important manufacturing cost!

My haul from the AtA Christmas Sale:

As other people have stated the Last Chance items really set things off and I was really lucky to grab both the Ultimate Edition of Escaflowne and the Collector's Edition of Re:Zero Season One. I was really surprised by the Collector's Edition of Snow White, so that was a no brainer as well. And with A Silent Voice being one of my all time favorite anime movies I had to grab that one as well.

From the BOGOF sale I only really cared about G Gundam. From the Stocking Fillers aisle I got a bunch of MVM items and from the Collectors editions sale I grabbed Hula Fulla Dance and Deiji Meets Girl. Last but not least I bought Godzilla Minus One.

Spoiler: Mystery Box TV Box 2 (for those who don't want to know the contents)

Out of all the Mystery boxes this one was the most interesting to me, although 4 of them are duplicates. I had standard editions for the bottom row (but I really like the Collector's Editions) and I already owned the Collectors Edition of Inuyasha. The only new item is something I don't care about, so that will be put in my stash of items to sell at some point.

It should be one massive circle of glue the full size of the card, right?!?

 

[Anime1977]

Analogue pocket.i got it from ebay.

Haha, don’t give them ideas!

The good news is the Arrow release has options for watching either the three-movie or six-movie edits, so you can split it into more manageable 90-minute chunks. It's still nine hours of misery overall though.

The packaging was not up to my standard, one sheet of packing paper (see photo). Trigun has a squished corner but everything else was fine. I probably won't ask for a replacement.

Ah, Crunchyroll are spoiling you with that deluxe cardboard box and sheet of paper combo. I had a Wandavision steelbook arrive today that Amazon US shipped internationally in a paper bag. No cardboard, no bubble wrap; nothing. Somehow it arrived with only a couple of very minor dents.

 

[Shadow Cat]

First lot of AL stuff arrived safely

I received another pre-order Blu-ray title from Crunchyroll today - this new AnimEigo release is actually a triple-dip for me, as I have the original 2013 Kickstarter CE Movie release and the 2011 OVA Import from Japan already in my collection:

Time of EVE Complete Collection

 

[RadFemHedonist]

OMG I love all of these! They arrived yesterday, I'm really happy with them and the pink skirt has built-in shorts as well (I guess to prevent chafing and unintentional pantsu-flashing XP) All very comfy and cute

I think one of my two most recent Temu orders will arrive today as well, judging by the tracking (the one with purply-pink shoes and two eyeshadow palettes), so I will likely be doing some v fancy makeup on myself today X3

Sentai Black Friday sale order, and my first time using Stackry. I saved about £200 vs what these would have cost on Amazon.

 

[Otomo]

Decided this was too a good price.
I've seen it but feel I would watch again.
