 Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. Gio here for the first haul of the year 2020. What an interesting month of January. Literally everything that you can imagine has happened and it's only one month so hopefully the rest of the year cools down a little but you know you gotta remain strong right? So yeah haul-wise I didn't get a lot but what I did get was actually pretty freaking cool and I'm really excited to show it off for you guys. It's mostly anime and manga. The channel sort of evolved I guess without me looking and I kind of did mention it on the last haul I did on the end of 2019 where I mentioned that I was taking the channel into a different direction. I'm still trying to figure out the rhythm of said direction but for the most part I don't really consider myself a manga tuber or any tuber as people like to say online. I don't really consider myself like one of those um collected editions channels. I'm just sort of stuck in between. I'm like that gum that binds everything together. An epoxy for our little niche. I don't know but I am thankful that you guys are supporting this channel by liking and commenting and viewing the videos. It's awesome and I love it so much thank you. So yeah for now I kind of like the rhythm where I'm going. I do a little bit of comic books and I talk some anime and I do occasional manga reviews so yeah maybe I could introduce some other elements but we'll see because it's mostly an entertainment channel hence the name a week in a geekdom sort of like the geekdom world a week's worth of information in one episode something like that. That was the original intent of this show. So with that strange introduction welcome everybody to another installment. If you're new here at the end of the month I'd like to do a haul video on all the geeky stuff that I acquired and if you want me to review any of these products in this case books and series let me know in the comment section down below and I will add it to my huge backlog of things that I need to review. I'm still working my way through lists of early 2019 so hang in there. You never know when videos drop when uh with your um request and favorite title. I'd like doing that surprise unveiling of like here's um a book review and next week like there's something else so stay tuned for that. Let's get it started I've been rambling uh manga let's do manga. I got this as a three kings gift something I've been wanting to own forever. I remember when these first came out I read them or at least a volume or two way back when. It's been so long but it's so awesome to have this. This is the Pokemon Adventures manga box set. This is the first uh set covering uh Red's journey. We have seven volumes right there with a mini poster and yeah really fun stuff. I am a huge Pokemon fan. I've been in love with that series ever since the first game came out. When I first got Pokemon blue in 1997 it was a birthday gift. I do remember Bulbasaur was my starter and I fell in love with the series ever since and I've played every game and I thoroughly enjoy all the editions all the regions all the Pokemon they're all fascinating to me. I have such a fun time with this series and to read this manga at my age now is a ton of fun especially because it's it's sort of its own thing. It adapts the game storyline into uh you know sort of this alternate reality if you will but yeah the volumes inside look pretty cool. Let me uh pull one out so you can see it. Standard manga volumes and the funny thing about this series is that as soon as I got this I learned of course that we are getting uh the three in one Omni editions that Viz likes to put out so yay but I'm okay. I like this box set and I will be continuing the series in this format so I will be getting the second box set eventually but yeah Pokemon adventures. Next up uh no longer human this came out uh December 2019 but it took me a while to get it. Here it is Junji Ito's no longer human. It took me a little while but I am going to post a video on this real soon. Next up you got Demon Slayer Volume 10. I don't know if you guys want to see like full artwork of the series but you can probably check it out online. Here is uh Dr. Stone Volume 9. Uh my hair academia vigilantes. Number six we're all cut up on this. I think volume seven. I don't know if volume seven's solicited but that should be coming out this year. And my favorite read of 2019 uh Beastars Volume 4. Viz really needs to hurry up. I mean the Japan just got volume 17 for Christ's Sakes and we're on volume four. Come on I'll buy them all don't worry. Anime let's do anime Blu-rays. All right I recently decided that um well I didn't decided. Satoshi Khan has always been one of my all-time favorite movie directors and I wanted to upgrade my DVD collection of his films to Blu-ray and I started doing that uh the last haul I showed off Millennium Actress and here I got uh Paprika which already came out a while ago but I never picked it up because I had the DVD but now I have the Blu-ray. Paprika and where's the other one? This is pretty interesting. This came out a while ago. The Blu-ray. I do remember buying it and then or pre-ordering it and then canceling it because I'm like I don't know but then I was really interested because I saw how good this transfer looks and it sold out and people went nuts getting this and I do remember seeing crazy prizes online on on sites like eBay. Stores were sold out but eventually we got a restock over the holidays and I was able to pick up a copy of Perfect Blu on Blu-ray. This will complete season two. Here we have Sailor Moon R or basically season two part two and I'm going to go ahead and show you guys this is the second season box set as you can see we're going to take this thing out take this box out and this goes in here so there you go now I have all of season two part one and part two or I guess I should say Sailor Moon R completed something that I started collecting I think it was 2018 I don't think it was 2019 regardless it's been a while and the only reason I haven't gotten it is simply because of the price it's a little bit too expensive so I've slowly been getting them and thanks to the holiday sale I went ahead and picked up volume two of Dura Dura on Blu-ray comes with a booklet, art cards, all that fun stuff here's volume two and I picked up volume three as well so I am halfway done with Dura Dura x2 I should say sorry so I have the first series and I am halfway through the second installment and can't wait to pick up the remaining three of that excellent series so that in a nutshell is the anime manga haul I did pick up one comic collected editions so I didn't leave you guys out my comic peeps I got the 10th volume of the TMNT IDW hardcover collection which has a fantastic cover I love crying and this bodysuit just looks freaking fantastic yeah volume 10 I'm not sure if it counts but digitally I was able to get um Luminese I think that's how you say it for Switch it was on sale 50% off and I got the tourist so I can't really shut them off because they're digital games but I got those for the gaming portion of this haul but yeah that that's about it for the haul thank you guys for tuning in as always like comment subscribe to the channel thank you so much for doing that hit the bell icon so you know when new videos pop up and again if you want me to talk about a specific item uh whether it be a blu-ray or a manga a comic whatever let me know in the comment section down below and I will get to it as soon as I'm able to thank you so much I've got to go I will catch all of you on our next video
