Unboxing [US]: Otorimonogatari - Nadeko Medusa: Limited Edition (Blu-ray)

After the falling pound occurred I was hesitant to do any more importing. But I decided to try and continue pursuing the rest of the Monogatari arcs and to my surprise they arrived today in time for the October pickups collection, however I had to pay customs as a result.

Here's a look at what Otorimonogatari's set is like.

Industry News: Sentai Filmworks February 2017 Release Slate

Sentai is once again going at a slow pace but we finally see the release of one of Kyoto Animation's recently loved titles. This time we have one rescue title, one Blu-ray upgrade and four new additions to the catalogue.

Here's the February 2017 line-up.

Overview [JP]: Miracle Girls Festival (Vita)

A new import has arrived once again! This time however I decided to buy the game used, due to the price of the brand new copy being around the £40s (which I felt didn't match the value of the game). I ordered the game from Solaris Japan and it arrived in very good condition.

Unboxing [JP]: IA/VT -COLORFUL- - Standard Edition (Vita)

A new import has arrived once again! I ordered the game from Solaris Japan and it arrived alongside Miracle Girls Festival.

Industry News: Funimation January 2017 Release Slate

Much like the previous years, January has always been a small slate for Funimation. Though this time we have only two new additions, one continuing title, one live-action film and a new collection.

Note: I haven't seen Shomin Sample yet but I found this gif to be a good reaction for Funimation's recent antics.

Here's the January 2017 line-up.

Unboxing [JP]: Dengeki Bunko Fighting Climax Ignition - Standard Edition (PS4)

It's been a very long time since I last ordered a Japanese-only import. The recent events of the pound sterling and the fact that it was time for me to get a imported game convinced me to pick one up as soon as possible. Out of the PS4 games listed I decided to go with the updated version of Fighting Climax. I also ordered it via Solaris Japan and they did a very good job handling my package.

Unboxing [UK]: Free! Eternal Summer - Complete Series: Collector's Edition (Blu-ray)

So during my summer holidays I went ahead and checked out the first season of Free!. It was honestly pretty good despite the amount of backlash it had. When Anime Limited announced their version of the show's release I figured I'll go ahead with it. Plus I was able to get it for a good price given it literally just got released.

Otaku Collection 2016: September Update | The Return to Uni (upupupupupupu)

I'm now back at University and that means I can spend a lot more than the past year, however the currency rate isn't strong so I'm switching things around for the rest of the year.

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!
