I really love this limited edition. There’s so much to the hardcover guidebook, the theme of the whole package is on point and the replica axe is wicked. I wish there were more LEs made like this. Frieren is the only one I can think of in recent history that came close (and surpassed) this kind of set.
Any others?
I totally see why The Eminence In Shadow is a bit divisive. Once I understood the premise and its running gag, however, I fell for the unique brand of comedy and all the heavy handed, over-the-top edginess. It’s become an all-time favorite guilty pleasure comfort food.
Plus, the LE Blu Ray box sets and hardcover light novels are so pretty. If you’re wondering why I have two of the manga volume 1, it’s because I’ve been learning French so I started buying second hand copies of manga and light novels in French as extra practice.
If you haven’t seen this series yet and want to give it a go, I’d suggest doing a bit of reading first to understand the approach as a parody, because I didn’t find the anime series to do a good job of making that clear. It may not be for everyone, but I’m glad I gave it a go as it really hooked me.
I can never seem to figure out the best display / watch order for these. Chronological? Release order? Help?!
Also, am I missing anything?
I’ll post a better showcase once I know I’m ordering them in a sensible way.
I’m finally getting around to watching the SAO Progressive movies and I thought I would share my SAO collection. It used to be much bigger, but I always felt the Aincrad arc was by far the best in the series… so I parted with most everything beyond Season 1.
The rest of the seasons were still a fun watch but I didn’t see myself rewatching them time and again like the first season.
Is this a PS3 era feeling budget game? Absolutely. Does it have an addictive progression system and non-annoying trophy hunt? Also absolutely.
I came for the goofy, musical story and stuck around for the surprisingly fun, short and sweet, chaotic battles and powering up grind.
A lot of fun. Highly recommended to anyone who likes NIS games and Power Stone feeling arena battles.
I’ve always loved this series so I was so lucky to catch the kickstarter and get a pledge in. It came with all sorts of other goodies (magnets, a mug, t-shirt, a massive limited and numbered print, etc.), but the Blu Ray set and the hardcover book are my faves. The brand new English dub is so amazingly well done.
I just wanted to share a few of my favorite big box sets and the “upgrades” or double dip editions that go with them. I have a few more big boxes I’d love to showcase if there is interest in these kinds of posts.
I lucked out and found The Slime Diaries for $10 at a second hand shop. I rarely ever find deals that good.
