What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

[BrokenPhoenix]

Don’t think I’ll pick up Set 4 anytime soon but am keen to see Shippuden materialise soon as I’ve held off getting the Viz releases for those so far.

I've got a handful of the Shippuden VIZ sets and I think I'm going to stop with them. I'm not exactly a tech-whiz with this stuff, but the upscale is pretty poor to my eyes (lots of jagged lines compared to the original SD footage).

I assume Anime Limited are doing their own discs for Shippuden like with OG Naruto, so I hope they can do a bit better of a job.

Arrived this week:

 

[demonix]

A couple of deliveries of stuff that will bring the mac mini into a nearly fully functional state with the last item hopefully being delivered tomorrow (the only thing that is missing from that picture is the vertical stand that the mac mini is currently in as I've partly set it up)

 

[RadFemHedonist]

Lots of lovely cute soft bloomers and a rly comfy cardigan from Shein

ABCiee Working Diary arrived from Anime Limited. It is a bit of a blind buy but I liked the trailer and it was cheap

 

[demonix]

The final piece of the puzzle turned up today to get the mac mini fully set up since I'm not paying the apple tax to put a larger SSD in it (plus there are guides that help you put your home folder onto an external drive)

And here's everything in full working glory with the last thing I need to do is move all the files I need over to it and plug in everything else (at least until I get a vertical stand with ports and an SSD enclosure and a dedicated thunderbolt hub to plug in more monitors).

Also the SSD has magnets in it, so it won't be moving anywhere.

Princess Principal: Crown Handler - Chapter 1 + 2 (BD)

 

[Anime1977]

Just got delivered.

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

Just got Panzer World Galient on blu ray from sentai. A title I'm really pleased to own. Love Ryosuke Takahashi's mecha shows. I have a special attachment to this one because @Orgun and I reviewed it for the 2nd episide of Retro Mecha Podcast. When we reviewed it in 2018 it had only ever been available via fansub so an official disc is pretty cool.

The back tagline is so cheesy though. I wish I had a job writing copy for some of these shows. I'd give em the respect they deserve.

Received today, from The Game Collection:

 

[HWR]

Another HMV arrival, this time in the form of Arrow Video’s new FAFDM release.

 

[TakamakiJoker]

From MCM Comic Con Saturday.

 

[Magical Senshi]

I forgot to post this last night. My MCM London haul.

 

[RadFemHedonist]

This arrived yesterday, it's a bit small and tight compared to what I'd usually go for sizing-wise, but still comfortable and cute, I quite like it

 

[NormanicGrav]

2025 HAUL - MAY v4

More packages! One arrived last Wednesday and another arrived on Sunday. I have ordered a few more but whether they'll arrive before the month is over is not clear. Bleach Part 5 has been delayed to August due to being bundled with I'm Standing on a Million-Lives which got the pushback so that's annoying.

#12: Capcom Fighting Collection 2 & The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-

Spoiler: Context

We have another VGP package and this time we have brand new Nintendo Switch releases.

Starting off with Capcom Fighting Collection 2 which I hadn't realised was being released this soon, because for some reason I thought it wasn't due until much later in the summer. In this collection we have eight more fighting games now available for modern platforms - Capcom vs. SNK: Millennium Fight 2000 Pro, released in 2000 for Arcade & Dreamcast, Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, released in 2001 for Arcade, Dreamcast & PlayStation 2, Project Justice: Rival Schools 2, released in 2000 for Arcade & Dreamcast, Capcom Fighting Evolution, released in 2004 for Arcade & PlayStation 2, Street Fighter Alpha 3 Upper, released in 2001 for Arcade, Plasma Sword: Nightmare of Bilstein (Star Gladiator 2), released in 1998 for Arcade & Dreamcast, Power Stone, released in 1999 for Arcade & Dreamcast, and Power Stone 2, released in 2000 for Arcade & Dreamcast.

There are still a good amount of fighting games from Capcom that have yet to be rescued, most notably Rival Schools and Star Gladiator as their second games are included here, and of course the anime licensed properties like Tatsunoko vs Capcom and JoJo's Bizarre Adventure but there's no need to rush at this point.

Next we have The Hundred Line -Last Defense Academy-, a strategy visual novel by the creators of Danganronpa and Zero Escape who have collaborated together to produce this massive project. The developers have stated there are no plans to bring this to other platforms as their main focus is keeping Switch & Steam full of updates and such and since Aniplex is involved I decided to grab a physical copy much sooner than expected via XSEED.

#13: A Quiet Place in the Country, We Still Kill the Old Way & Weak Spot

Spoiler: Context

Radiance Films titles went on sale over on Amazon and I decided to pick up a couple more European Cinema for the collection as it's been a short while.

Starting off with two Italian films by director Elio Petri with his 1967 film We Still Kill the Old Way (A ciascuno il suo) and 1968 film A Quiet Place in the Country (Un tranquillo posto di campagna), both were also distributed by MGM so the logo is on the spine similarly to François Truffaut's films Radiance have also released. These were released in the UK in September & October 2024 respectively.

Next we then have a French/German/Italian film by director Peter Fleischmann released in 1975 called Weak Spot (La faille). The trailer got me interested in checking this film out and thankfully it was included in the sale. Like others, these limited edition releases include Scanavo packaging with a o-ring to cover the info & ratings, a reversible cover featuring the original theatrical poster artwork and booklet.
