January Haul #1
We have one package that arrived on Friday 9th and the next two bought in town on Saturday 17th. There was a delay in showcasing the first one because I was working between 9th-16th non-stop so there was no room to take any photos. I will also be working non-stop between 19th-26th so if any packages show up (including The Dangers in My Heart if that ever ships out) then they'll be saved for near the end of the month.
#1: Diebuster
#2: HMV 3 for £50 4K Ultra HD haul
#3: Travelling Man Manga Haul

#1: Diebuster
The first item of the month is a delayed arrival due to an issue with the booklet that the French community spotted a while back. I've seen the theatrical version over a decade ago so it's nice to finally own the OVA series for Diebuster and see how it compares. I've not actually gotten around to watching the OVA series for Gunbuster so I may go through both back-to-back. Since Discotek didn't acquire the Blu-ray rights, Anime Limited used VDMS this time for the disc which is better than the French authoring company at least.

#2: HMV 3 for £50 4K Ultra HD haul
I visited York before watching 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple at the cinema and went to the HMV store to further build the 4K Ultra HD collection. It was a tough selection due to the lack of variety but I did find three that had my interest.
Bram Stoker's Dracula, Francis Ford Coppola's 1992 film was released on 4K a long while back and it's honestly been on my radar for a while mainly because I was intrigued to see how it was especially when you have a cast like Gary Oldman (Batman Begins), Keanu Reeves (The Matrix), Winona Ryder (Stranger Things), Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs) and Richard E. Grant (Withnail and I).
Inception, Christopher Nolan's 2010 film is a sci-fi classic and one that I had wanted to upgrade from my DVD copy for ages. After re-watching Tenet a few months ago I had wanted to revisit this film as well. The cast includes Leonardo DiCaprio (One Battle After Another), Ken Watanabe (Kokuho), Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F), Elliot Page (The Umbrella Academy) and many more.
Queer, Luca Guadagnino's 2024 film that he made at the same time as his more commonly known film Challengers, pretty much went under the radar but I heard it was pretty good so I wanted to check it out. MUBI picked up the license for the UK release and got the 4K treatment. The film stars Daniel Craig (Wake Up Dead Man), Drew Starkey (Outer Banks) and Jason Schwartzman (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse).

#3: Travelling Man Manga Haul
I visited the Travelling Man store once again, this time to pick up more Viz Media volumes since they didn't have any volumes related to JoJo (plus those would get in the way of the 3 for 2 manga offer).
We have Black Clover volumes 18, 19 and 20, Jujutsu Kaisen volumes 25, 27 and 28, and Komi Can't Communicate volumes 10, 11 and 12. They didn't have specific volumes available for certain series including Jujutsu Kaisen so I decided to get what they had and grab the missing ones via Scifier later.
