What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

heck, I'm still waiting for my order on 25 May for the 6 anime shirts from Temu to even ship out. It's been over three weeks now, and they were all supposed to be shipping from a US warehouse. I finally got a shipping notice email on Thursday the 12th, but my USPS tracking number still says waiting for shipment today. I doubt I'll ever be ordering anything else from Temu.

Sonic Lost World (Wii U) and Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric (Wii U)

1000015065.jpg

Two more Sonic games for the Wii U to add to the collection, I just need the two Mario & Sonic games for the system now.

Sonic Lost World I have played and beat on PC and is admittedly my least favourite mainline console Sonic game but I wanted it for the collection and I can still find fun with it.

Sonic Boom I have not played and I know it isn't a good game but I will play it as Sonic is my favourite video game series and I want to play and beat as many Sonic games in my lifetime as possible (I've beaten the majority over the past couple of decades anyway so I'm most of the way there).

And some of you may have noticed I've been picking up quite a few Sonic games lately and that's because I'm trying to go for a complete set for the series. At minimum a physical copy of at least one version of every game. A number I need to re-buy as I stupidly sold them when I was younger (with a lot of other games I miss and want to get again as well) so I've got a ways to go but it has been a fun journey so far.

This is how the collection is looking so far.

Can you make something like GITS?
Yes, when do you want it?
Tomorrow.
That's fine!

Unfortunately Bleach didn't come with a slipcover so though it does line-up with the series still, it would had more so if it had a slipcover so a little bummed there.

My Next Life as a Villainess
All Routes Lead to Doom
Content moderate violence, bloody images and RUDE humour. Sounds great.

I'm not a Steelbook junkie but I just wanted this even though it's 4K. I'll watch it one day but for now I'll just hug it

One of my pairs of pants arrived and they're gorgeous and fit rly well, also got some lingerie from Lovehoney that makes me feel extra babelicious, my Hell Bunny Loulou blouse arrived and it's glorious, very cute and colourful and fits rly well, and I got They Were 11! by Moto Hagio off Amazon, which I'm v excited to read, it's a gorgeous edition and much bigger than I was expecting, though ofc being me I wish it was in hardcover, there is also some minor damage but not to the point where I feel compelled to send it back :)

2025 HAUL - JUNE v4

A whole bunch of stuff in one day yesterday. Half came from a trip to town (as I went to see 28 Years Later at the cinema), and half from packages in the post that all arrived at once.

4K Haul - The Penguin 1.jpg
Zebraman - 1.jpg
Zebraman 2 - 1.jpg

#06: Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus, Zebraman & Zebraman 2: Attack on Zebra City
As it's been a while since I had visited town, I decided to go and take a visit to the HMV store to see what they have to offer. I picked up a bunch of stuff so in this portion I'm focusing on the Asian Cinema titles.

Our first pick is a pretty intriguing addition to the collection and that's Ryuichi Sakamoto: Opus, a 2023 concert film directed by Neo Sora dedicated to Ryuichi Sakamoto's final concert before his passing. Considering how important his music has been to the film industry and rather uncommon to have a UK home video release like this, I figured I'll pick it up. This was distributed by Modern Films, the same folks who also released Ryusuke Hamaguchi's Evil Does Not Exist.

Next we have two films from director Takashi Miike and were recently released in the UK by 88 Films back in May. It's the tokusatsu films Zebraman (ゼブラーマン) from 2004 and Zebraman 2: Attack on Zebra City (ゼブラーマン -ゼブラシティの逆襲-) from 2010, starring Show Aikawa (Dead or Alive Trilogy, Yakuza 5) in the leading role. The first time I heard about these films actually came from Funimation releasing the second film years back which Media Blasters then rescued. 88 Films picked it up thanks to Toei and included it as part of their Japanarchy range which fits really well considering the director's style and genre. The limited editions include an obi-strip and booklet.

Haul - Croupier, Heat & The Running Man 4K Ultra HD 1.jpg

#07: HMV's 3 for £50 Deal - Croupier, Heat & The Running Man
Also picked up in HMV are three more live-action Hollywood films for the 4K Ultra HD collection thanks for the 3 for £50 offer. They didn't have every single title that I was interested in, but the three that I picked were of my curiosity recently.

The films that I picked were Mike Hodges' 1998 film Croupier starring Clive Owen (Children of Men) and Alex Kingston (Doctor Who) which was distributed by Arrow Video; Michael Mann's 1995 film Heat starring Al Pacino (Scarface), Robert de Niro (Goodfellas) and Val Kilmer (Top Gun), distributed by 20th Century Studios; and Paul Michael Glaser's 1987 film The Running Man starring Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator), distributed by Paramount.

Haul - FE Warriors, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Golf & Xenoblade 3.jpg

#08: CeX Haul - Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Golf: Super Rush & Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Before I visited HMV I first went to the CeX store because I traded in a bunch of anime, most of them will be replaced with different editions/releases later down the line and this was an opportunity to get it out of the way, which meant I received £125 worth of vouchers!

After going into HMV I went back to CeX and took this opportunity to further build the Nintendo Switch collection, especially now with the Nintendo Switch 2 backward compatibility improving the performance for a number of titles. But this haul was mainly focused on first-party Nintendo games because they tend to never go down in price in most cases. So here we have Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes (from Koei Tecmo but they're using a Nintendo IP), Luigi's Mansion 3, Mario Golf: Super Rush and Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Raidou Remastered.jpg

#09: Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Souless Army
The Game Collection brought back their £10 reward points system which included more games to choose from, and that included Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Souless Army, which is a remaster for Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Summoner: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. the Soulless Army originally released on PlayStation 2 in 2006 - which Koei Tecmo published in Europe funny enough.

Unlike the Persona and mainline Shin Megami Tensei games, Raidou is actually an action RPG set in 1931 Japan where Raidou works part-time summoning demons to help investigate various cases. The remaster here is handled better than Nocturne did which includes better performance, presentation and quality of life improvements to make the gameplay even better (which I read were mainly carried over by its second game), plus there's voice acting. While this is on Nintendo Switch 2, I felt PS5 was the better option especially considering the former is a Game Key Card which makes that pointless to grab as a physical owner.

The Adventurers 1.jpg
Hong Kong 1941 1.jpg

#10: The Adventurers & Hong Kong 1941
More Hong Kong goodness from Eureka Entertainment which I ordered from the Terracotta store.

We have Ringo Lam's 1995 film The Adventurers (大冒險家) starring Andy Lau (Infernal Affairs) that Eureka released last April as part of their Eureka Classics range. And released this month is Po-Chih Leong's 1984 film Hong Kong 1941 (等待黎明) starring Chow Yun-fat (Hard Boiled) as part of Eureka's Masters of Cinema range. Both feature slipcases and booklets for their first print editions.

Haul - Drive, Nice Guys, Scanners & The Witch 4K UHD 1.jpg

#11: Second Sight 4K Haul - Drive, The Nice Guys, Scanners & The Witch
A few months back I picked up a couple of Second Sight Films titles on 4K Ultra HD and really enjoyed what I have watched thus far. Since it was going to be a while before there would be any form of sale, I decided to make use of the Zavvi Red Carpet that I still have to pick up four more from the distributor. Unlike HMV, Zavvi shipped all of the titles together in a single package which was very handy.

The films that I picked were Nicolas Winding Refn's 2011 film Drive starring Ryan Gosling (Barbie) and Carey Mulligan (The Great Gatsby), Shane Black's 2016 film The Nice Guys starring Russell Crowe (Gladiator), Ryan Gosling (Blade Runner 2049) and Margaret Qualley (The Substance), David Cronenberg's 1981 film Scanners starring Stephen Lack and Jennifer O'Neill, and Robert Eggers' 2015 film The Witch starring Anya Taylor-Joy (Furiosa) and Ralph Ineson (Final Fantasy XVI).

I have actually watched both Drive and The Nice Guys many years ago when I was in University so these are upgrades from Icon's Blu-ray releases.

Wait, the Zebraman films have a UK release!? I might retire my Media Blasters and Funimation releases if the UK releases are any better, on-disc wise.

Yeah they just came out by 88 Films last month as part of their Japanarchy range (which is dedicated to various Japanese films since they mainly work on Hong Kong, Italy & various genres). 88 tend to improve the discs whenever possible but I think the extras are identical from the looks of it.
