Imported my 1st Japanese Bluray

As title says I imported my 1st Japanese bluray. Its the Baccano Aniplex Box set and it comes with the English dub. It's the exact same as the Aniplex Of America release. While that goes for $500+ online the JP release was only $100 including fees, shipping, and taxes. It even only took a week to get here too. It won't be the last one either.

One of my white whales

Had this on my Amazon wishlist for at least 15 years, had to snatch it up when a copy was finally listed again.

GATE Limited Edition Blu Ray DVD Combo

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?

New shelves for my collection

Over a year ago I got laid off from my job and had to move several states over for a new one. I couldn’t bring my old DVD shelves because they had been DIY custom-made for that particular house. So I did what any sane collector of physical media does: I DIY’d some custom shelves for the new house.

The first two pics show the entirety of both shelves, the remaining pics focus on the anime parts of the collection. I had actually fallen away from collecting anime in recent years because streaming had become so prevalent that I glumly thought there weren’t going to be anymore decent releases. Then on a whim I looked through Amazon a few months ago and discovered there were far more anime series on physics media than I had expected. The biggest surprise was a physical release of “Odd Taxi,” of all things. In short, my collection grew significantly in recent weeks. And also, no, I’m not and have never been much of a streamer; I refuse to take part in FOMO and prefer owning my media outright.

Crunchyroll and Aniplex of America are so stupid.

AoA titles are so expensive and they rarely go on sale so exempting them from the B2G1 deal is so dumb. They would still make tons of money even with the discount. At least do with all the AoA titles like they do with Demon Slayer. Have regular edition and then have the expensive Limited Editions.

Most of these shows are available in the UK at regular prices so Im probably gonna start importing more of these titles. CR is literally losing money by not having AoA titles as apart of these sales.

CR Ani-May Week 3: Home Video B2G1 (INCLUDES AOA!!)

esit: yepp including AoA was an oopsie and they've now been removed from the sale

https://store.crunchyroll.com/collections/in-stock-home-entertainment/

They usually exclude AoA but this time they are included!!indicated by the sale badge and I was able to checkout!! I wonder if this is an oopsie and they'll fix it orrr?? They definitely should leverage the fact AoA is on sale on the advertising it'll definitely get them some sales

AoA pretty much never goes on sale save for maybe like 10 bucks after 2 years and only gets more significant savings for the older releases like 5+ years only (and by significant I mean more then $20 off standard price lol) so this is definitely the time to grab if you can stomach the high price point

I included some pics of the latest releases to show the sale badge applying

🗣🎵 "Boku tachi waaaaaa" 🎵 Lmao jk 😂😜

I started watching the series for the first time a few years ago, and liked it a lot, but kinda stopped watching it mid season 1. Not for any reason in particular, but it be like that sometimes. Anyway a week ago I watched the first episode again, and decided I really wanted to own this series on blu-ray. I wanted it back when I first watched it, but held off. This time I said "fuck it" & just pulled the trigger on the whole series at once lmao.

Some of you might be wondering why the only limited edition I got is the last season (set 7). Well that's because all the standard editions I found for that one were actually more expensive than a brand new limited edition for whatever reason (LE was only $25!) I bought everything brand new & it altogether cost me $200.

May Pickups (so far)

My MediaOCD pickups came in today! Very excited they brought back Fist of the North Star at a reasonable price! Also couldn’t pass up on the deals GRUV was doing for JJBA. Very excited to watch these over the summer.

A seemingly large anime collection

Hello, my partner has the task of getting rid of her brothers seemingly extensive anime/manga collection. Both she and I know nothing about it all, really. So, could you possibly give us an idea as to value and where would be the best place to sell it all? Here's a gallery of images of titles so far, but I've just had 5 boxes and four bags arrive to me that we'll be going through. Many thanks in advance for all your help and advice!

We're not looking to sell anything here on reddit at all, just looking for guidance if that's OK!

Macross Delta Bluray

So happy that the Macross Delta box set from CDJapan has English subtitles, I just wish the Frontier boxset had English subtitles!
