Received today, from HMV:

Today from Amazon. Don’t like that one is sleeved and the other isn’t, would it be a crime to discard the sleeve for part 2?


Edit: checky my Owned list on Anilist and they will be separated on the shelf which means it wont burn me as much they do not have matching spine styles

I throw all my slipcases out, so you have my full support!

My Stackry order arrived, one title from ebay and the rest from the Crunchyroll Store.

One Piece (Collection 26 - 27, 29 - 33) (BD / DVD)



I already owned Collection 28 from a Zavvi import sale but with these collections I own all of the U.S. imports I needed for the TV series as these were DVD only over here in the UK and we only just started getting the blu-ray's from Collection 34 onwards.

Peach Girl (Vol. 6) (DVD)



I've owned this Peach Girl art box for years now and I've finally completed it. Similar to how Suzuka Vol. 5 - 6 weren't ever released in the UK, Peach Girl Vol. 6 was also never released in the UK. I got a great price on this though from a U.S. seller on ebay. Glad to have this complete.

I got a bigg heccin giant box full of anime (and a properly packaged Blue Giant poster!), and 14 items arrived from Temu, the T-shirts are lovely and all the stickers and tapes can be used in a scrapbook/journal/on paper generally, as they are all adhesive on the back (wasn't completely sure if some of them might be more like window stickers, and was thinking I might use them to decorate the outside sides of my Ikea bookcases if they weren't suitable for use on paper), my next post will have the rest of the items that arrived (bar one that I won't be putting on here for personal reasons), and a picture showing all the stickers I tested on a journal page

It's incredibly annoying that the UK One Piece sets miss out some of the HD episodes because of that. I wonder why that happened exactly. 6 volumes seems a lot to miss out. That's a lot of episodes!

A while back I thought maybe I'd replace the ones I had already bought with the UK sets for convenience and them being a bit more cost effective (I hadn't bought a lot of em) but then I did my research and realised what you've just said. I decided I'd just try and batch buy the US ones whenever there's a sale on Crunchy and use a proxy like Stackry.

I see the Manga UK DVD releases of movies 1-9 in your collection. I have those too. It's a real shame that they didn't get released by Funimation or someone else in English (last time I checked anyway) as those discs were so bad, especially the framing issues. I really hope someone else gives us a better release in English. Surely either the UK or US or somewhere in Europe that sometimes puts out discs with English subtitles is due for one given One Piece's popularity.

The shoes are awesomely comfy and cute, the only item I'm not happy with is the scrapbook - the pages were advertised as being thick card but are just paper, boo! I will wait until my other recent Temu orders arrive then send the scrapbook and anything else I'm not happy with back in one package to minimise the amount of effort involved in returns. The shoes really are amazing though!

I love Q and Seven; definitely two of the best shows in the whole Ultra franchise. Seven in particular was made when Tsuburaya Productions were at the top of their game. Some of those episodes are as polished as bite-size movies.

Ah, I want to watch them again just from looking at the boxes!

 

[ID5]

@Dai Yeah I read these were the ones to get, have seen the first 3 episodes of Q already, can't wait to watch them all.

My favourite local independent media store is closing down this week (really going to miss it and all the great people who work there ) They are having a final sale so I picked up the first season of Fruit Basket and the remake. I ordered the rest of the series and the movie online. I have never seen the remake series but I have head it is really good. I had the chance to get the collectors edition of the final season but I left it because there is no chance I'll be able to get the other ones to have the complete set of animal ornaments.

I bought A Real Pain after watching the trailer, it looks like something I am really going to enjoy. I have had Fallen Leaves on my list of things to pick up for a little while, I saw it on sale so I finally picked it up.

@RedundantSquash That's sad to hear your favourite store is closing. Sadly there's nowhere like that in Newcastle where I live. We have an independent record store but nowhere that's not a large chain for other kinds of physical media like Blu ray or games.

I just got back from the Tyneside Cinema film quiz which I attend every month with friends. A buddy of mine I haven't seen since my birthday just gave me this nice mini-haul as a birthday gift. Iria: Zeiram the animation on Blu and a jigsaw puzzle based on a favourite film we both share: John carpenter's The Thing. Haven't done a jigsaw since I was a kid so that'll be interesting.

Feeling very lucky to have such a good friend.

My dress from Shein arrived and it fits beautifully and is really comfy and looks absolutely gorgeous on me (it also has built in shorts which for me is a plus, they don't ruin the effect of it being a mini-dress and I would have worn slipshorts or smth underneath it anyway, it also stops it from riding up which is good for me so that it doesn't end up looking odd - it's often hard to keep a dress that small actually looking like a dress rather than a top lol), couldn't be happier with it!! I also got my glitter glues that I'd pretty much assumed were lost in the post, so that was a lovely surprise too!

I'm really late in asking; do you know if the Vampire Hunter D Japanese Blu Ray is Compatible with a UK Blu Ray player? I'm really interested because it apparently the restoration is great but I can't find out if it's Region Free or Region 2 Compatible.

 

[Scrambled Valkyrie]

The only info I could really find on it was in a reddit thread where someone said they tried it on a region free player in the dedicated Region B mode and it worked but depends if you want to trust some random reddit user.

Considering the amount of physical media content on Youtube there doesn't seem to be one video on this release which I'm pretty surprised by.

I am planning on picking it up myself so if you don't get an answer I'd be happy to test and let you know.

More than one person in that thread being confident that it's region A locked is strange to me, when Japanese anime blu-rays have always been (like, 99+% of the time) region free.

It's region free since I didn't need to change the region on my moded 4k blu-ray player.
