Unboxing [UK]: The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (BD/DVD)
It's been a long time since I last picked up a Studio Ghibli title, and while I did pickup some Blu-ray sets a few years ago I didn't prioritise on it at all. Now I have decided to try and get the rest, as Ocean Waves finally saw its Blu-ray release, concluding the Ghibli Blu-ray catalogue.
I've already done unboxings for Arrietty, From Up on Poppy Hill, and Whisper of the Heart - all three in fact now updated to the current format I use.
Now I acquired two more titles. The second is from Isao Takahata's The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.

Unboxing [UK]: Belladonna of Sadness - Collector's Edition (Blu-ray) [NSFW]
Amazon recently lowered the prices for some of the anime titles and this particular one was at its lowest in recent months. I've been interested in checking it out so I picked it up.
Also due to the nature of this film and the contents of this release, please be advised that this post is Not Safe For Work.
