What did you RECEIVE today? PHOTOS EDITION!

I received two Blu-rays from Crunchyroll last week on 9/8 and today 9/14 - both pre-order titles from an order I made at the beginning of August.


Black Butler Emerald Witch Arc
Our Last Crusade or the Rise of a New World Season 2

Quality is better IRL, Photo makes it look kinda meh


Wow, that unearthed vague memories of something I had totally forgotten that I owned very many years ago. I had one of these, probably in the 1970s or 1980s. I have no idea what happened to it:
I didn't have the AC adapter but otherwise I believe it was exactly the same. I only initially remembered it was similar to yours and went looking for information to find it.

I think my initial memory came from this type, which I am fairly certain I also had sometime a bit later, which I got because it made it so much easier to look at a bunch of slides; no idea what happened to it either:
I'm pretty sure mine was a darker color like dark gray or black so probably a slightly different revision or model but it was generally the same as that one.
 
I ended up buying a bunch of Anime 35mm film strips (Mostly Shinkai) 6 or so years ago when I had an interest in cels and reproduction cels (like Evangelions Cellu-Club). Found them over the weekend and decided I should buy something to view them

Shame looking online now, what was once affordable (around £1 a strip)... is really not worth it now. Maybe if I had a 35mm projector it would be worth buying but an artbook would be cheaper and a far easier format to view lol

I have seen people selling slides super of holiday places (Blackpool/isle of white) cheap on ebay so I might buy some just to have a look at old film/slides

Also funny how tech doesn't really change over the years. Same idea 50~ years later but uses LED rather than bulb
 
Through two recent 88 Films-focused sales I have picked up the following:

From HMV via their 2 for £18 deal.

From 88 Films via their End of Summer Sale (I managed to get 30% off).

A proper look at the latter selection. Both LTiP and TPP were very recent titles so happy to have nabbed them for £21 each.
 
Received today, from The Game Collection:

Looking forward to playing this, as I never fully completed the original version.

It's a shame the UK never got a Collector’s Edition for this release, like the first game.
I got both CE's and I'm in the UK

First game from Clear River Games and the second game from Gungho through Panax which offered worldwide shipping, for those in the UK & EU it shipped from Germany.

Part of the Golden Wings Edition, the diorama is still in production so they sent the rest of the items out so at least we had the game on release. The diorama will be sent when it's done.

Also ended up getting a refund on the VAT I paid when I pre-ordered. Got email saying that when it got shipped it came up as recipient pays instead of sender, so they've given me a refund but I didn't get a charge from Parcelforce. So nice little bonus.

My Studio Ghibli vinyl collection is almost complete, just missing a few more (I'm only collecting the vinyls for the seven movies I own).

Had been looking at these two for a while, and just bit the bullet to get them.

I was wondering why Trails in the Sky 2nd has a PEGI 18 rating considering the first game is PEGI 12 and I think very few Falcom games are 18. The descriptions aren't up yet on the PEGI website, but it shows the icon for gambling so I guess that is why. 😄
 
Got this today. Knew about this show since the early 2000s but never showed interest in it.......apart from the OVA which I have ADV UKs release of it. Always found it odd that we got the OVA but not the show however the 18 rating it got probably explains why
I remember watching my ADV set of Sorcerer Hunters not to long ago and thought it's a fun series. The show isn't pg rated as it's pretty racy and the ovas take that up a notch or two but not by much.
