Unboxing [US]: Shiki - Part 1: Limited Edition USA (BD/DVD)

For this unboxing I will be taking a look at my fourth limited edition box from Funimation; the first half of Shiki.

Anime/Manga Collection Update ~ Super Update Part IIIB

It's time for a collection update but not just any update, I have some batches of anime arriving and it's time to reveal what they all are.

Part IIIB: The UP1USA Package Part 3

Bad news folks, Freezing went out of print for UP1 as well so I'm stuffed with that. Now for the good news; someone on AnimeUKNews has given me a link to one available through Play Asia. Play Asia is like an Games and US version of Yes Asia (who deliver Asian films and Japanese versions of Anime) but customs will be involved with this one. Since I paid about £43, the customs will add at least £10-25 more onto it. Meanwhile UP1 was able to send me Shiki Part 1.

Unboxing [US]: Haganai: I Don't Have Many Friends - Complete Series: Limited Edition USA (BD/DVD)

It's time for some more harem comedy in the form of Haganai. This latest unboxing is the complete first season with a limited edition artbox in a similar form to High School DxD (two slim Blu-ray cases in a box).

Unboxing [US]: Eureka Seven: Astral Ocean - Part 1: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

The second season to Eureka Seven has finally arrived (well a few months ago in fact) and I have picked up the special Limited Edition artbox that can fit both parts together for Astral Ocean. Time to unbox this rather nice set (but controversial show in general).

Note that this post has been updated on 20th July 2017 to reflect the current blog format.

Anime/Manga Collection Update ~ Super Update Part IIIA

It's time for a collection update but not just any update, I have some batches of anime arriving and it's time to reveal what they all are.

Part IIIA: The UP1USA Package Part 2

Using the USA UP1 site again for the final batch but unfortunately only half of them have been ready for dispatch so I requested these to be here instead of waiting and they arrived the next day. The titles are Eureka Seven AO Part 1 and Haganai Season 1, both are Limited Edition versions. I picked AO because Part 2 was displayed as AB while everyone was saying Part 1 is A only, well it turns out that they're wrong.

Blog News: Unboxing titles being reformatted

Just a quick update, over the past few occasions I have been changing the style of the unboxing titles in various ways but now I have officially stuck to one format and this is how it works:

Text
Image of front cover
Text
Specifications
Plot
Image of back cover
Extra Content (On-Disc)
Extra Content (Physically)
Images of the rest of the title
Extra text ~ optional

Only a few titles have this format but a lot of them haven't so I want them to be sorted out before I end up with more titles. This won't affect anything else it's just to clean up the post a bit better.

Unboxing [US]: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Volume 3: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Next up on the unboxing is the third and final volume of three from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. This series was released by Aniplex of America and have nicely provided the set with lots of goodies. This is my fourth Aniplex USA product (Baccano! and Madoka Magica Volume 1-2 were the first three), and was imported from North America.

Unboxing [US]: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Volume 2: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Next up on the unboxing is the second of three volumes from the Puella Magi Madoka Magica series. This series was released by Aniplex of America and have nicely provided the set with lots of goodies. This is my third Aniplex USA product (Baccano! and Madoka Magica Volume 1 were the first two), and was imported from North America.

Unboxing [US]: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - Volume 1: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Anime/Manga Collection Update ~ Super Update Part II

It's time for a collection update but not just any update, I have some batches of anime arriving and it's time to reveal what they all are.

Part II: The UP1USA Package Part 1

Instead of using the UK version of United Publications, I have decided to go and use the USA version. The only difference between the two are the prices, the US version is using american currency but because of that their price are somewhat lower than the UK for certain titles. For instance, the Aniplex USA titles are not using the price the owner provides (for instance £70 for Madoka becomes £59 depending on the rate of the currency) and therefore worth checking out. I have ordered seven titles from UP1USA and three of them have arrived today (which was unexpected considering the UK version was having delays in terms of arrival). The following three are the Puella Magi Madoka Magica volumes.

Anime/Manga Collection Update ~ Super Update Part I

It's time for a collection update but not just any update, I have some batches of anime arriving and it's time to reveal what they all are.

Part A: The Items Before Arrival

Before posting this, I had mentioned that I was now in University and have bought some items that were available in town. Well I didn't reveal what they physically looked like so it's time to see what they all look like:

Blog News: Current Update

It's been a while but I have stayed for at least a week in University and I am settling very well than I expected it to be. First things first, I am now living in Sheffield and it's a big city which is good as I'm living in a decent location to pick up more anime and manga as HMV is there for the films and shows while Forbidden Planet, Waterstones and WHSmith are selling manga (with the third shop being a shocker since they didn't sell them in Peterborough and Huntingdon). My collection has been updated and I have tested out Amazon to check the address is okay (my Doom 3 BFG Xbox 360 game arrived today and it's in good condition).

The following that I have bought since arriving:

Anime:

Dante's Inferno: An Animated Epic ~ Blu-ray

Eureka Seven AO: LE Part 1 ~ Blu-ray/DVD Combo = Arriving in 2 weeks

Evangelion: 1.11 You Are (Not) Alone ~ Blu-ray

Haganai: LE Season 1 ~ Blu-ray/DVD Combo = Arriving in 2 weeks

Update 7th October 2013, with the exception of Freezing and Shiki Part 1 the rest of the new items ordered from UP1 are being processed including the limited edition Puella Magi Madoka Magica sets from Aniplex USA (which is excellent news since they should be next in line to be going out of print). I have also ordered Shigurui: Death Frenzy and Welcome to the Space Show as they were on offer for a well decent price. Due to the amount of stuff purchased I will not be buying any more anime for a short time period, for university survival reasons. Not to worry as the Anime Limited titles have been delayed to a certain point where I am able to pick them up including the second print run of Cowboy Bebop Box 1 which has the problems fixed. Titles such as the Monogatari series and Durarara!! will be picked up later in Winter 2013 (Dec-Feb). No more manga will be purchased as such until a certain point as well.
