Industry News: Sentai Filmworks January 2017 Release Slate

It seems I was right about Sentai providing less titles per month, as January has only a couple. But we do have 1 Premium release... I'm speechless.

Here's the January 2017 line-up.

Unboxing [US]: High School DxD BorN - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Issei and his journey to become the Harem King continues with the third season!

This title was among my first of two import pickups for Uni so apologies for the delay.

Unboxing [US]: Danganronpa the Animation - Complete Series: Limited Edition (BD/DVD)

Upupupupupu... the Despair begins.

It's been a while but I finally got my hands on the Danganronpa anime, I was originally going to pick this up at launch but various things happened. This title was my first import pickup for Uni so apologies for the delay.

Industry News: Funimation December 2016 Release Slate

Funimation is closing off the year with a bunch of S.A.V.E. editions and a couple new titles from the Spring/Summer seasons finally getting released.

SAYONARAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Here's the December 2016 line-up.

Blog News: Back at Uni, Quick Update

Hey folks, just wanted to give a quick update since I'm now back at University.

Otaku Collection #5 | 7th September 2016

Well then. It's been over a year since my last major complete collection update, and the main reason for the delay was because my average pickups per months was much lower compared to my time at University (also I was unable to find a placement so I had no choice but to take a year out instead). I decided to hold off this update until I had enough to make a difference.

If you like a quick recap on the previous update, here's my post on the 4th collection from back in April 2015. Nevertheless, here is my 5th collection update. The difference here is that I have moved things around so that I can provide more space for each specific distributor.

Remember the Otaku Collection updates contain anime, manga, asian cinema films, video games and anything related to these topics. So let's begin!

Unboxing [UK]: Terror in Resonance - Complete Series: Ultimate Edition (BD/DVD)

It's been a while since I last ordered an Ultimate Edition from Anime Limited. I own the first two titles with this treatment while I skipped the third and fourth for various reasons. Now I've picked up their fifth title after using a discount code from Music Magpie during the bank holiday.

In other words I got this set for £53.84. Here's a look at what the set has to offer.

Otaku Collection 2016: August Update | Bargains Everywhere!

Note: I didn't get any items during the month of July, henceforth no updates on that.

So after getting my accommodation payment sorted I finally got back into picking up more items. However the post-brexit currency rate was still weak for importing so I focused mainly on items from the UK. And interestingly enough, all of the items I bought were pretty good deals.

So here's the items I picked up during August 2016.

Unboxing [UK]: Senran Kagura Estival Versus - Standard Edition (PS4) [NSFW]

So if you remember back in May I ordered and received Senran Kagura Estival Versus (which you can check out an unboxing for right here). The issue here was that I ended up receiving the PlayStation Vita version. I kept the game since it would be so much hassle sending it all the way back to Canada and waited for the UK PS4 version to go at a good price. And here it is.

I'm also tagging the not safe for work note due to the reversible cover. Life and Hometown to the max.

Unboxing [UK]: Seraph of the End - Season One Part One: Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

Universal entered the UK market earlier this year and now I finally got my hands on their treatment for Seraph of the End -Vampire Reign-, released as Seraph of the End: Season One Part One. I picked this up at HMV for £39.99 which is a great deal.

The DVD version of this collector's edition is exactly the same, but I have the Blu-ray so here it is.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks December 2016 Release Slate

Sentai Filmworks have started to put less titles onto the line-ups, but considering it's December I'm not surprised.

Here's the December 2016 release slate for Sentai Filmworks.

Industry News: Funimation November 2016 Release Slate

So Funimation basically unveiled their line-up over at Otakon 2016 but I figured I'll wait since there's a lot of information that I want to be aware of. Then it went live yesterday and bam, there were more titles included. This is quite a packed month.

Here's the November 2016 release slate for Funimation.

Industry News: Otakon 2016 Announcements Round-up

While I was away this past weekend the Otakon convention was happening. And a ton of new information went out for a lot of companies. While Anime Expo had huge news, Otakon was fairly strong especially with Discotek Media. Like I've done with the forum post on Anime UK News I'll be going through the announcements in a quick fashion.

Unboxing [UK]: Samurai Flamenco - Part 1: Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

Better late than never. Figured I'll pickup a couple items before the return to Uni next month. Got this from Zavvi using a student discount code as a test.

Overview [US]: Nisekoi: False Love - Volume 2 (Blu-ray)

Surprise! I made a deal with a fellow forum member to get the first two volumes of Nisekoi Season 1's Aniplex version. It was a good head-start to try and catch up with these sets. Here's the second volume.

Since I've gotten these used, I'll be placing them under the Overview banner of my blogposts (the format is still the same however).
