"THE FIRST SLAM DUNK" Limited EditionAnimationBest Purchase for My First Blu-ray
I've never bought a Blu-ray before, but I made an exception for this special occasion: it's the very first movie of Slam Dunk. Initially, I considered just getting the ordinary DVD disc, but I decided to splurge on the Blu-ray limited edition instead. I'm glad I did because all the freebies included in the special limited edition are intact and awesome, and the Blu-ray quality is excellent. Thankfully, my first purchase here was hassle-free, and it was definitely worth the wait.

Mobile Suit Z Gundam (Subtitles: English, Chinese) IAnimationAmazing release
The first half of the Z Gundam release is a solid package with very good blu-ray quality, however, surprisingly, not as good as the original series release. The audio, once again, is off the charts however. For a anime TV series from the mid-80's this is amazing. It comes with very little bonus features, but such is the case for early anime. One thing stands out: the creditless opening and ending songs. That looks literally as if it were 4K. My jaw dropped. If you are a Z Gundam fan, buy without hesitation. Badass soundtrack, great characters, exhausting plot. Awesome.

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Vol.3AnimationFantastical
The action became more and more strong, alongside the development of the animation serie Soussou No Frieren. Due to the popularity of the anime, many artists create representations of Frieren alongside others Greats Characters, from Greats Heroic-Fantasy Animations Series and videogames, ... . I love and enjoy Soussou No Frieren, an all-newly Heroic-Fanatsy that renew entirely the gender, almost compared to Lodoss's War Chronicles, and Y's The Saga, ... . At when a representation of Frieren, ... ... , with The Amicassor.

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.

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.

Mobile Suit Gundam The Witch from Mercury Season 2 vol.4 [Limited Edition]AnimationA MUST HAVE in your collection
A truly beautiful limited edition Blu-ray with excellent artwork and design work. The rainbow foil border caught my eye immediately, and is a genius touch as a nod to Gundam Calibarn’s permet colors. This is a perfect purchase for fans of the show in my opinion and 100% worth the price, especially considering the quality of the artwork, the additional content of Drama CD/ character commentary, and lastly the end card illustrations for the final 3 episodes. I am so happy with my purchase and will cherish it forever. Thank You SO much CDJapan for the quick shipping and amazing packaging! I received it in 3 days, and there was not even a scratch on the box. This blu-ray was a part of my first order and I’m way more than satisfied with your service. Will highly recommend you to everyone. 10/10 experience.

Mobile Suit Gundam (Subtitles: English, Chinese)AnimationAwesome release of the original Gundam
I bought this blu-ray set with a slight doubt in my mind. It's a 40+ years old anime and it's expensive (the blu-ray box). But after putting the first disc in the player I was swept over by an overwhelming sense of relief, and a big smile came to my face. I do not have previous releases to compare this to, but the quality of this release is insane. The picture is as clear as a 40 years old anime possibly can be and the sound quality is off the charts. Granted, I DO have a very good speaker system, but still. This sounds better then most of my FEATURE releases. If you like the original Mobile Suit Gundam, buy without hesitation. Thank you U.C. libraries!

Suzume (Suzume no Tojimari) Blu-ray Standard Edition (English & Chinese Subtitles)AnimationBeautiful Story & Execution
When I went to see this movie in the theatre I expected something enjoyable but maybe a little ridiculous; what I got was an utterly gorgeous movie with lovely emotional depth. I loved it and I knew I'd want to own it as soon as it came out on DVD/bluray. I was delighted to see it here region free and with English subtitles, and having just rewatched it (working flawlessly on my player in the US, as the region free status promises), I have the same feelings!

Gurren Lagann The Movie [4K Ultra HD]AnimationYes it has English Subtitles
While the picture itself is likely just upscaled to 4k, the addition of HDR and Dolby Atmos make this more than worth it. The movies themselves do in-fact have English subtitles. My only complaint is that the audio commentary does not include subtitles.

Pokemon (Pocket Monsters) the Movie: Genesect and the Legend Awakened [Limited Edition]AnimationMewtwo Collection
This is such a good product to get if you want the majority of the Mewtwo content like the first movie, Mewtewo Lives, and even the prologue alongside the movie itself. There is also, an episode of the OS that has Mewtwo in it. The only problem is that this is a DVD, but other than that, a fantastic collection of Mewtwo content!
