Hypnosismic -Division Rap Battle- 2nd D.R.B "Bad Ass Temple VS Matenro"Bad Ass Temple . MatenroIts what I expectedI bought this having already listened to the digital album. Its good. The case for the cds was unexpected, and honestly quite hard to display. But the cd jacket being so big makes it worth it.

Cat's Eye Original SoundtrackAnimation SoundtrackUnforgettable memoryWhen I was a child, I really loved watching "The Cat's Eye " Now that I've grown up, I still miss those childhood anime, which is exactly why I bought this CD. It features many classic songs-so touching and delightful-that made for a truly enjoyable shopping experience.

EMOTION the Best Ghost In The Shell (English Subtitles) [Priced-down Reissue]AnimationGiTS in HD (Pre-renewal)While I no longer own this particular release, I believe it uses the same audio & video as BCBA-0246; said disc is still in my possession, and it's the reason I sold 2009's reissue if I'm remembering correctly. If this is your first GiTS DVD, but you're familiar with R2J animation home video, picture will not disappoint. Blu-ray ('17 reissue at least) provides a restoration, but DVD, like many examples, is nonetheless praiseworthy.

AKIRA [DTS sound edition] [Priced-down Reissue]AnimationAkira in HD W/DTSIncredible. Blu-ray ('09) gives you a perfect picture (blocking when noticeable), but the gritty aesthetic & deep blacks of DVD will have you drooling. If you've the '01 box, 2011's later sound reissue (I'm going to assume '11 &'02 are identical) doesn't offer any greater of a picture (no need to), so it's doubling down on sound, not image. Disc art for '11, like the box art for 08th MS Team for example, deserves to be put on display.

DIRTY PAIR ARTWORKSTakachiho Haruka / Yasuhiko YoshikazuSuperbFantastic. And undoubtedly the superior of the two artbooks (Crusher Joe). Not because one offers greater animation or color than the other, but because DP offers noticeably more variety, despite being 30 pages less. Just feels like they made the most they could out of each page in comparison to CJ in-between pages featuring cover art. After flipping through each- No contest. Veery happy to have purchased while supply lasts.

Crusher Joe ARTWORKSTakahashi Haruka / Yasuhiko YoshikazuGoodDepending on how developed your sense of appreciation is, a good purchase. A step or two behind Dirty Pair, but what is presented will leave a smile. That said, unlike bibliography, whose thumbnails are given a spread, there are a few images seen on the following page not featured. I could be wrong, but after carefully flipping through the book half a dozen times, they appear to be absent. These include: 1978-12-30, 1978-7-30, 1978-4-30, & 1983-4-30.

"Agents of the Four Seasons: Dance of Spring" Original SoundtrackAnimation SoundtrackA Wonderful First OST CDMy first anime OST CD, and I couldn’t be happier with it! The packaging is great, and the CDs themselves are beautiful, with gorgeous artwork on the covers and especially the extraordinary sakura-leaf embroidery on the discs. The OST sounds phenomenal as well. I can genuinely hear the difference in sound quality even on my not-so-professional CD player. All in all, I’m completely satisfied with this purchase. A beautiful release for an amazing soundtrack!

Hetalia Drama CD - Prologue 2 - [CD+DVD]Drama CDSo cute!It’s such a cute CD drama that came in a nice jewel case. It’s also surprisingly great for people learning Japanese (I’d say N3 for people who want a bit of a challenge, N2 for comfortable listening.) I’m taking away a star since I think 3000 yen is a bit high for only 2 short-ish drama tracks plus a cast commentary. I’m also a bit disappointed that there isn’t a transcript to follow along with in the booklet. That’s kind of standard for most CDs, but it’s honestly not the biggest deal.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue These Official Setting Book Complete Edition 2 [Regular Edition]Mag GardenEpic Story and bookEpic story, two opponents who never really meet but would certainly be best friends. Describing war from two sides without glorifying either side is a fine art and also entertaining, for me one of the best space art books and anime series I've ever seen.

Sayama Yoshinori GUNDAM DISPLAYDESIGN ARTWORKSSayama Yoshinori / Bandai Namco filmworksLove the cockpit perspectiveI'm glad I was able to know the points of perfection. I didn't notice even when watching the main story. If you love the cockpit perspective, I think this is a must-see. I was happy that they were also mentioned about that latest work.

"My Hero Academia (Anime)" 2nd Original SoundtrackAnimation Soundtrack (Music by Yuki Hayashi)Worth Getting!This is the second soundtrack after the first one (My Hero Academia Original Soundtrack). Both are just as good. If you like the action packed "Jet Set Run", you'll like the "You Say Run" in the first OST. This is also a two CD set. Worth getting!

Shingeki no Kioku [Regular Edition]Linked HorizonLinked Horizon's epic soundtrackThis is a thrilling symphonic rock album that perfectly captures the desperate, heroic spirit of the anime. With soaring choruses, thunderous drums, and dramatic orchestral arrangements, each track feels like a cinematic battle. The regular edition still delivers the full emotional impact, making it a must-have for any Attack on Titan fan.

Zankoku na Yoru ni Kagayake [CD + Blu-ray / Limited Pressing]LiSAReview for this limited pressing CDThis limited pressing is a powerhouse package for any LiSA fan. The title track burns with her signature rock intensity and soaring vocals, while the accompanying Blu-ray delivers an exhilarating live performance that is pure fire. Her stage presence and raw emotion are electrifying to watch. An essential collectible that perfectly showcases her dynamic artistry.

Yuigon [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition]Centimillimentalgood musicEvery song attached to the Given anime, i think, will still stand the test of time in ten or more years from now. i have yet to dislike or hate a single song.

Resonant Strings [w/ Blu-ray, Limited Edition]Morfonicalove itthis CD includes the titular track "Resonant Strings" which was very recently added to the global server of the game and quickly became one of my favorite. everything is a 10/10 just because of this song. the CD itself comes with great packaging. CDJapan also did an amazing job protecting this beauty as it made its way to me! like the small bonus gifts too. i would highly recommend, if you havent, to check out the artist performance version of this song on youtube.

Ginga Tokkyu Milky Subway (The Galactic Limited Express) [Limited Edition]AnimationGreat anime, but no subtitles?Love this anime, but extremely disappointed that the blu-ray does not have any subtitles. There are multiple dubs, but no subtitles. I don't watch dubs, so I wasted my money on this.
