 Hey everybody, welcome back to another haul video. This time for October 2021, let's do it. Let's get started with some manga goodness. Here is To Your Eternity Volume 15. I am two volumes behind. I've read up to Volume 13 a wonderful spectacular series that I cannot recommend enough. It is beautiful, tragic, and really reminds me of just living the best possible life that you can live. No regrets, right? And here we have two volumes of one of my favorite rom-coms, Rent a Girlfriend, here's Volume 8, as well as Volume 9. Have not read these yet, but I'm really excited to continue this story from where I left off. Wonderful art and just really nice character designs. I think that's one of the main appeals for me when it comes to a series like this. Here we have that time I got reincarnated as a slime, Volume 17. I'm a little behind on this series. I'm mostly collecting it out of fear of it going out of print, the individual volumes. Here we have the ancient Maguscribe, Volume 15. Same thing with slime, I'm a little behind. I think the last one I read was Volume 7 or 8, something like that, so I'm really behind on this. I've heard some people have mixed feelings about this and have kind of abandoned the title, which is weird, but we'll see. Eventually I'll catch up and talk about it with you guys. Next up on the hall is Asadora from Naoki Uru-Sawa, here's Volume 4. Fantastic series. Check out my First Impressions video on it. I can't really say much because we're pretty much one volume behind the Japanese release. I do know Volume 6 comes out at the end of the year, if I'm not mistaken. But yeah, love me some, Asadora and Uru-Sawa goodness. Number 5, Volume 2 from Taiyo Matsumoto. I made a video on Volume 1 if you want to check it out. I absolutely loved it, the world and the characters. It's also unique and gritty and filled with Eurocomics references and homages. I cannot recommend this series enough. I will be reading this as soon as possible and cannot wait for Volume 3, which should be out in January of next year. And as usual, I'm very happy to see them including the more posters, as you can see here, the second one looking really cool, super detailed and wacky and funky, just as I like a Matsumoto manga to be. Pokemon Adventures, Collectors Edition, Volume 10, the last one finishing off the stories, if you will, covering up to Fire Red and Leaf Green and a little bittersweet to end the series there, but I do know that the next generations aren't as interconnected as we would have liked, but who knows, maybe they'll do Collectors Editions later on for those as well, you know, Gen 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and whatever else comes out our way. Lady Snowblood, Volume 1, 2, 3, and 4, yes, all of it. I have to give a massive shout out to my good buddy Josh for making this possible. He sent me a little care package my way and I am forever thankful. Josh has been a great friend for many years now actually, so I'm excited to dig into this a very famous series. I have to admit I have not read the manga, but I have seen and I do own the Lady Snowblood live action movies. And you might know that this is also the inspiration for Kill Bill from Quentin Tarantino and stuff like that. So yeah, I'm really excited to dig into this. One graphic novel here, it is Birthright Volume 10, the end of the series. Finally, I collected the entirety of Birthright. I don't want to ruin it for you guys, but it's really cool stuff. I do recommend checking it out. And here you have all the spines lined up with all the trade paperbacks. Some anime blu-ray goodness. Here is Inspector, one of my favorite anime from 2020. I really enjoyed this adaptation. I believe this was produced by Crunchyroll and it is essentially a noirish spirit, yokai infused detective series, solving urban legends and mysterious cases and all that stuff. I really enjoyed it. I think it's really good. Thankfully, we are getting a second season, so yay, more Inspector goodness. Golden Cowboy Season 3. I love this series so much. I wish I could collect the manga, but I really don't have space for such a long-running series, although it is ending, so I might consider it in the near future. Nonetheless, a great show. And as a treat for you guys, here's the digital code. If you are one of the cool ones to grab it as soon as possible, let me know in the comments section down below so I can heart that comment. Also, another gift from my buddy Josh. He gifted me My Hero Academia Heroes Rising, the second My Hero Academia movie. I haven't seen this. I'm really excited for it. Hopefully it's better than the first one, which I did like, but it falls under the Shonen Jump movies where nothing really happens. It's just a celebration of your favorite characters with flashy movie quality animation, but hopefully this is different. And I do know the third one premiered recently, so I'm excited eventually for that. And we got another treat from that care package. Here is Ultraman Tato. Hi, you're gonna have to forgive me. I'm not super knowledgeable when it comes to Ultraman. Like, I like the character and that's about it. I didn't grow up with Ultraman, the franchise, none of that stuff. But I've always been interested and I know there's multiple seasons or generations or whatever. So yeah, I am very much looking forward to this. Who knows? Maybe one day when I'm done collecting some other stuff, I'll give this a go and collect the rest of the series, I should say. From Arrow, this is something that I was really excited about. We got the announcement in August and I pre-ordered and it finally arrived. It is the Yokai Monsters Collection. And this was my first time ordering from Diabolic DVD. So shout out to Diabolic because that was awesome. Arrived in perfect immaculate edition. I didn't want to go with Amazon because they were charging way more than what was the retail price, I should say. And yeah, went with Diabolic. I'm a fan now. So we'll see if I make more orders from them. Next, I decided to add two more DVDs for my Toho section or collection in my movie library. Here is Varan the Unbelievable, which I believe had two separate releases. One with the American Edit and Dub, which I don't care for. And this one with the original Japanese audio. And of course, I got the Mysterians. The funny thing about these two movies is that they're no longer in print, along with the other Toho stuff. But even though they're old movies and not necessarily the best, but there's still campy goodness to be had. The thing is usually people are charging or asking, I should say, $30, $40 for these movies. And I was lucky enough to find a seller asking $8 per movie. I'm like, yeah, yeah, I'll take them. Thank you. So with those two out of the way, all that's left to quote unquote, complete my Toho set, because there are a lot more movies out there that were released, but not available with a North American Region 1 DVD or Blu-ray. I am missing Dogora, War of the Gargantua's, Space Amoeba, and Orochi, The Eight-Headed Dragon. So those four DVDs are all that's left to have a complete official Region 1 Toho Kaiju DVD slash Blu-ray set. Really excited about that. You guys remember back in the summer, when I did the movie Arrow Criterion, Summersale Hall, I got a bunch of movies that I wanted to check out, some that I already knew about. And this was the only one missing. It is JSA or Joint Security Area. I ordered that in mid-July and it arrived mid-October. I ordered it from Amazon and it was out of stock, I guess, or out of print. So it took them that long. So it took them all this time to restock and send me my copy. But nonetheless, excited. This is a really great film and a wonderful release and I'm happy to own it. This was a birthday gift from the fam, if you will. Back in September, I am a huge fan of the Snyderverse movies. But yeah, I got the Snyder Justice League Blu-ray, 4K Blu-ray cut. I love it and this is what I wanted to see back in 2017 and I'm so happy. I'm so glad that I can now have Zag's initial trilogy on Blu-ray with Man of Steel and BBS. So I'm really excited about this. Two figures. One of them I've had pre-ordered for ages. And it finally shipped. It is my first pup-up parade. I hope I said that right. Pup-up parade. It is the traveler from Journey, one of my all-time favorite video games from PlayStation. And one final shout out to my buddy Josh. My first ever Nendoroid. I've always wanted to get into that. They're expensive and kind of in the same vein as a Funko Pop where you just can't have one and you get really addicted and you want a whole line of it. So I got to be careful because I do have another one coming my way. It's just taken forever because it shipped from Japan. But yeah, this is the Golden Kamui Asirpa Nendoroid. I am really excited about this. I love the series and she's a great character. Really cool that she has so many face plates and tiny little accessories. And it's just the right amount and size of cuteness where it just looks great on your shelf. So thank you Josh. All right that's about it. That's all the stuff I got in the month of October. As usual, there are things that did not arrive. If you've been following my channel over the years, this is a tradition on my haul videos. So you'll see them in the next one.
