86 - eightysix - Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Hiroyuki Sawano, Kohta Yamamoto)Must-buy Sawano OST!
If you liked Promare and Kill La Kill Soundtracks, then you won't regret buying this CD and adding it to your collection! These songs work wonderfully with the anime scenes but they are also great on their own, with their powerful melodies and the ambiance they create. I have convinced people to watch this anime solely by showing them the first few tracks of CD 1 and I think it is a must-buy to anyone who likes Sawano's works!

Dollybird Vol.29 Sweet Animal DollsHobby JapanDollybird 29
Dollybird 29 focuses on smaller dolls, with a generous section dedicated to Nendoroid Dolls. The outifts are cleverly adapted two-in-ones, showing how the same pattern can be used for an entirely different design depending on colours a d material used and extra details that really make a difference. The article on different fabric types makes a very interesting read, showing how different weights of fabric can change the silhouette of an outfit, which is especially important for smaller figures. Please note that the books are published in Japanese, but translation apps can come in handy. A basic knowledge of patterns is all that’s needed to make most of the clothes - the step by step visuals are very clear and helpful.

Another great volume of Dollybird, with the usual easy to follow patterns and interesting articles. This volume guides us through customising faceplates in the Nendoroid feature, as well as offering patterns for two types of outfits. There’s a large number of beautiful b.m.b outfits to chose from, too, which could be easily resized for similar dolls with a little skill.

Touken Ranbu Musical: Kisho HongiMusical Touken RanbuSurprising continuation
This musical is a direct continuation from the Mihotose no Komoriuta musical.i loved Sengo Muramasa's character development here and how Tsurumaru Kuninaga finds his entry. Very surprising that Tsurumaru seems to have been around in a while although we never saw him in the musicals or references in the Shinken Ranbusai before. Also there are a few plot twists in this musical which are quite unexpected. I loved the songs and performances.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" - Shizuka no Umi no Paraiso -Musical "Touken Ranbu"One of the darkest
I loved this musical part for the dark plot and message it delivered story wise. War is hell and it shows in this musical. I'm very happy to see Ookurikara again and was very pleased with the formation including Hyuuga Masamune and Urashima Kotetsu as well. All actors are very good singers - even the human characters. The musical with the most songs! Also, there is Mikazuki's huge side plot starting here

Salt & Sugar [Limited Edition]Yuma UchidaFunky 11th Single
This is a funky 11th single by Yuma Uchida with B-sides that are also great addition to his repertoire. Visuals are great as usual. The inclusion and freebies are also nice. I just wish thought that the music video is in Bluray/DVD instead of a card. Overall, a must have for any Yuma Uchida fan.

Persona 3 The Movie: No. 3, Falling Down (English Subtitles) [Regular Edition]AnimationFavourite movie from a wonderful game
Without a doubt my favourite of the four movies. It covers a great deal of interactions that we did not get in the game or even in the manga, and Akira Ishida does a great job portraying the relationship between the protagonist and Ryoji. I'm really appreciative of these packages with English Subtitles. They're a real boon.

Persona 5 2 [Limited Release]AnimationNice bonus !
This volume has a very fun drama cd with an original scenario unlike the other ones which follow greatly the game content. It's a treat for sore ears, the cast is really doing amazing. =)

Hane [Regular Edition]Koshi InabaWonderful Single
Koshi Inaba should need no introduction. He's been in the music industry since the late 80s as the lead singer of B'z before he started doing some solo releases as well. He's a fantastic singer with very versatile vocals and creates excellent music. Sadly, all 4 of these songs (to my knowledge) were never included on any of his other releases, so I picked this CD up. It's a remarkable single with a good mix of different songs. Each one has its own charm and is difficult to pick just one as a personal favorite. The insert is just a couple pages with the lyrics and credits inside. It's got some colors inside to go with the green background on the cover though, which gives it some further character to its simplistic design. Highly recommended!!

PERSONA SUPER LIVE P-SOUND WISH 2022 - Kosasuru Tabiji - LIVE CDV.A.25th Anniversary Concert
The concert for the 25th anniversary of the series, and the last to have the wonderdul Kawamura Yumi on stage ... There are some really nice ideas for the production on this one, with use of CGI models on stage, and the blu-ray comes with the option to chose from several viewing angles, allowing us to focus on differents parts of the stage or to follow the flow of the initial editing. It is really practical and I hope they'll keep this option going forward.

30th Anniversary Early BEST Collection for Soundtrack [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition]Yuki KajiuraBeautiful collection
In this time when it's not so easy to find early 2000's OST anymore, this collection is a wonderful catch for any Kajiura fan. Plus, the case is really pretty, wooden with delicate engravings.

Musical "Touken Ranbu" - Kosui Sanka no Ki -Musical "Touken Ranbu"Undercommunication is key
I loved this musical part both in the setting and the twist. The formation consists of very different Touken Danshi who aren't necessarily very familiar with each other. It's also cool with all the mysterious hints about the eldest sword in the Honmaru isn't present anymore. I have my own theories, but I won't spoil anyone. Also, under-communication is key in this story, because Yamanbagiri doesn't really tell the other team members to get ready to flee the timeline they are in. One of the coolest things tho is that Izuminokami Kanesada is finally back from his Kiwame-training! Loved the songs and all the dramatic scenes in this musical part :)
