The second wave of Director's Company titles released in the UK by Third Window Films I've finally ordered as the sixth title was released this month. The films included here are Shinji Sōmai's 1987 Luminous Woman (光る女), Sōgo Ishii's 1984 The Crazy Family (逆噴射家族) and Shinji Sōmai's 1985 Love Hotel (ラブホテル).

Third Window Films have more incoming that have been either hinted or leaked by the BBFC, and so far those are Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Bumpkin Soup as well as Toshiaru Ikeda's Mermaid Legend and Scent of a Spell.

I presume they are able to license at least up to about 12-15 titles by the end of it, but it's great to see more older films from this time period be released and restored for UK home video. 88 Films will likely take some for their Japanarchy label which I'm also looking forward to owning.

Next I decided to make an eBay order for two more Nintendo Switch titles. First we have Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, the remaster of the Wii U cult classic that combines Fire Emblem with Shin Megami Tensei (though using a Persona style aesthetic). A controversial game given the western release was toned down in some aspects but the gameplay as a whole was apparently pretty solid so why not.

Then we have Triangle Strategy by Square Enix and the team behind Octopath Traveler. This game is a homage to the classic tactical RPG games from the publisher and the physical releases are still around but seem to be using the European/Italian artwork so I decided to take the pre-owned route to secure a UK based copy.
