2024 HAUL - JUNE CHAPTER: BATCH #3.2
In this batch we have my Birthday haul. That means we roll the clip (which ironically this time works in line with one of the items here).

So for this year's Birthday haul I decided to change things up by going for a 'less is more' approach and what I mean by this is rather than trying to get as many items of different varieties as possible within the budget that I am given, I figured it would be better to have fewer items that are more of quality. Not to say that my previous years haven't been great but we're at a point where titles are getting nicher, more pricier or there's a few other factors like stock issues or not exactly safe for work if its a manga.

Anywho, here's the haul. We start off with the anime which just arrived on time and that's Konosuba: An Explosion on this Wonderful World!, the spin-off series to the Konosuba franchise. I didn't watch this series during simulcast because I wanted to watch the Legend of Crimson film first, but I have watched it finally so I can eventually check this one out (for context I like to watch anime in order of release). This is the Crunchyroll UK release that just came out.
Next we have Hirokazu Kore-eda's 2023 film Monster (怪物), distributed in the UK on Blu-ray by Picturehouse Entertainment. Only found out it was released recently. Picturehouse also released his previous film Broker which funny enough I received in my Birthday haul last year.
Then we have a game that I had been meaning to play for years, which was then re-released across other platforms - Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance. I have played Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne but never finished it, but I am expecting a challenge with this one like the others. The original on Switch I recall ran pretty badly so the moment this re-release was revealed I was going to pick the PS5 version regardless.
For the book portion of the collection I also received Bitmap Books' Nintendo 64: A Visual Compendium which goes over the history of the console and covering over 150 titles released for it. It's got an interesting selection including Japanese imports and segments on things including Cancelled Games.

And last but not least I also received a few T-Shirts today. One from Star Wars, one from Haikyu!! and one from Kaiju No. 8, the latter two my sister bought for me.
