I'm in Love with the Villainess (TV Anime) Blu-ray Box [2Blu-ray+CD / Limited Release]AnimationRevolutionary Yuri
It's built to last...and one of the strongest ways to show that there is a fan base who would support a second season. The case is sturdy and attractive. The 3 discs are solidly secured, and the case is designed so that it uses space extremely economically, and either compartment can be opened quickly. The sound was very clear, so the score punctuated the dramatic scenes more effectively than the first time I watched the series on Crunchy Roll. It's a fine soundtrack, which uses it's chamber instrumentation to good effect. Who noticed the oboe on the first watch? I didn't. It was also easier to notice when our leads' expressions didn't match their words. The special features on the menu are charming! The OST is included as a CD, and rewards close listening. The inclusion of all 12 opening sequences is appreciated. After all, the texted dialogue is a little different each time, and if you can read Japanese, you can fully appreciate each version. I haven't forgotten the booklet. It's 48 pages, and includes settei (design) sheets for the main characters and the most important settings, an 8-page comic by the same mangaka who does the adaptation, a 20-page story by Inori, and credits and track listing for the soundtrack. The short story is clearly situated right after episode 12, and is funny and heart-warming in equal measure. I haven't read the manga adaptation, but the mangaka Aonoshimo shows a real flair for both clothing and facial expressions. It gets a little bit raunchier than the TV series, while still keeping our leads in character. I hope that a second season is forthcoming, but this Blu Ray set is able to stand on its own.

Mika PikaZoMika PikazoGreat book!
An excellent book, there are quite a lot of illustrations, so the book is heavy - only 224 pages. Every illustration in it is amazing. A very bright and beautiful art book, suitable for a collection or as a gift for an anime fan. Japanese artbooks are the best in the world! There are a lot of wonderful, incredibly talented artists in Japan. I'm extremely pleased with the order. Fast shipping, well packaged arrived safely and earlier than expected, perfect item, as described. Everything was super!

"Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure (Hirogaru Sky! Precure)" Vocal Album - FLY TOGETHER!!!!! -V.A.Soaring Songs (with Sora)
The Hirogaru Sky Precure vocal album is a gorgeous collection of songs. I wish they'd put out two vocal albums for each Precure season like they used to, but I can't complain about what we have. Somehow, and it might be my love of the show overly influencing me, but Precure songs are better than most pop songs. As a musical extension of the world of the show, these songs have a unique appeal that today's pop songs simply don't have. On this album we have another version of "Share Shite", sung by Ami Ishii, who also sings the magnificent Hirogaru Sky opening song, which is only present here in the TV size version. This is a sneaky bit of mischief that goes back at least to Mahoutsukai Precure, where the vocal album doesn't have the full version (or any version) of the OP and ED songs. So you either buy the single, or wait a year until the Vocal Best album comes out. Or, if you're as obsessed with Precure music as I am, do both.

"Pretty Cure All Stars F" Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Erika Fukasawa)Stupendous Orchestral Score
Erika Fukasawa contributes a massive, glorious soundtrack for the best Precure movie in years. Passionate, action-packed, wondrously melodic, I can't say enough good things about this album. Precure All Stars F was pretty much a perfect Precure movie, and Erika's score follows suit. The music for the beautiful montage is right up with Hayashi/Tachibana's montage music in the Star Twinkle movie. This also has the single longest piece of music yet composed for Precure with the 8-minute 37-second Track 32, which is the big, emotionally overwhelming climactic sequence with all the tear-inducing flashbacks. LOVE IT.

Kibou no Chikara-otona Precure'23 - Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Naoki Sato)Sato's welcome return to Precure
Naoki Sato, who wrote the music for the first five seasons of Precure, returns to the series for this spinoff. As a big fan of Sato in general, not only his Precure scores, it's fascinating to hear how he's developed as a composer since Yes Precure 5 GoGo in 2008. This score contains more of the cascading rhythmic/repetitive material Sato has been developing over the last ten years, but with the warmth and gentleness of his earlier Precure music. The results are sublime.

Pretty Cure Vocal Best Box 2018-2023 [Limited Release]V.A.Must...buy...every...Precure CD release
I love a sturdy special edition box, and this third Precure Vocal Best Box is another great release. Finally have a copy of Cosmic Mystery Girl from Star Twinkle Precure, sung by Sumire Uesaka. That song wasn't on the Star Twinkle Vocal Best. Disc 6 has a new ensemble version of "Share Shite", a song that has become an unofficial new Precure anthem. And if you really like it, there are EIGHTEEN separate versions of it on Disc 6, with each singer's solo version. Also has a new version of the All Stars DX theme song "Kira Kira Kawaii Precure". But sadly, there's no new version of the ultimate Precure Song "Eien no Tomodachi" from the All Stars New Stage movies, which is my nomination for the best anime song ever written, courtesy of Yasuharu Takanashi.

"Soaring Sky! Pretty Cure (Hirogaru Sky! Precure)" Original Soundtrack 2Animation Soundtrack (Music by Erika Fukasawa, et al.)Precure Music is still the best
Erika Fukasawa's second soundtrack album for Hirogaru Sky Precure is 78 minutes of musical gold. She continues the series tradition for grand heroic themes, with several glorious moments of power, majesty and delight. Her main theme for Sora/Cure Sky could be mistaken for a new Superman theme. Very happy to add this album to my Precure collection. One of the best soundtracks in the series. Fukasawa is the seventh composer to write for Precure (for super nerds, the previous ones are Naoki Sato [1-5], Yasuharu Takanashi [6-9], Hiroshi Takaki [10-13], Yuki Hayashi [14-16], Asami Tachibana [Star Twinkle, co-composer with Hayashi] and Shiho Terada [17-19]).

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Vol.1AnimationWonderfull
This is really a lovely animation serie. All is wonderfull in this animation serie, from the sequence before each epsiode, until the ending sequence, who is, really a masterpiece, with Frieren's face superimposed in the background of the image, and all this flowers in the front part of the image. The style of the animation, as well as the music, are simply sublimes.

Urasawa Naoki Kaite Kaite KakimakuruNaoki UrasawaAwesome Urasawa art book
If you're a true Urasawa fan, this is an essential add to your collection. I wish I knew how to read Japanese or there was an English translation. This book chronicles Urasawa's early titles, up to Billy Bat. It shows his thumbnails, rough sketches & finished pieces.

Kiwameru! Kyara Sakuga (Character Drawing) (KITORA)toshiVery beautifully designed
The neon glossy colors on the dust jacket & overall flaps are really creatively designed and beautiful. There's a little drawing studies workbook of selected drawings included as well. The price is quite good vs other drawing instructional books I've come across. I wish I knew how to read Japanese but I'll have to just practice studies from this book for now. The dust jacket is a cool glossy design. The drawings are beautiful to learn from. I wish there was an English translation for this. The drawings inside have a cool tone to them as well.
