 Hey everybody, welcome to another impromptu unboxing here at a week in Geekdom, Geo here. And I kind of wanted to do this just for the hell of it, because I know half of YouTube has already seen this freaking Blu-ray release, because it's pretty old in internet age. But regardless, here we are. I am unboxing the first Aniplex release for Demon Slayer. So let's go ahead and do it. First off, I love the art in the box. It just looks fantastic. And this image in particular, I did not know it had it. I knew about the front, but I didn't know about the back. And it looks so cool. I'm going to take this off, even though it's an Aniplex release. So everything in this set is expensive, even the little paper thingy. So let's take care of this first. Let's take this off right here. It's probably like five bucks from that price tag. But yeah, the box is super clean, really aesthetically pleasing. I love how the spine looks right there. Demon Slayer, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Volume 1, Episodes 1 through 13. So we're going to place this right here. And we're going to take a look at the first Blu-ray case right here, or the jewel case. Here are all the episodes. And it says disc 1, 2, and 3 containing episodes 1 through 13. But if you open it up, it looks pretty fabulous. This image looks really cool. And we'll take a look at it in detail in a little bit. Inside, it looks black and white, which I did not expect. But it fits, I guess. It looks pretty cool. The disc art looks awesome. And here are the other two discs. If you're wondering what's on the second one, the soundtrack. I knew it was coming with a soundtrack, but I did not expect three freaking CDs for the soundtrack. I didn't know the show had that many tracks involved. I thought it was just going to be one disc, and that's it. But yeah, here it is. Here is the first one, and Volume 2 and 3 of the OST, I guess. But what's cool about this is this Nezuko image right here, which looks really beautiful and awesome. So that's pretty much it. The extras aside from the soundtrack, you've got this really cool booklet. Demon Slayer, Kimetsu no Yaeva, Volume 1. I wish we could get this sort of a hardcover or a bigger release later down the line, an art book. That would be pretty sweet because I typically don't like pamphlets like this or booklets. But it has all the info about the episodes, the staff cast, what they did to make the thing, that sort of info. And you also have a couple of character studies, if you will, for different characters in the first half of the first season. So that's interesting. Oh, and yeah, the back looks pretty interesting. So it's super blurry. There we go, sort of. The other thing that really impressed me was sort of these art cards, but they're more like art prints, really. I'm going to show you here. They are very paper stocky in quality, which I do appreciate. Makes it a little bit more valuable, I guess, in terms of quality. So here's the image from the Blu-ray. You can hear that. Here is the second one. Here's from the other case with the CDs. CDs in 2020, God bless. Here is, as you can see, that's the image that they used for the Blu-ray, for one of the Blu-ray disc, as well as Cine2 over here. Is this thing focusing? Maybe, maybe not. As I said, this is completely improvised. I wasn't really going to do this because I'm not doing that many unboxings, but I wanted to do it for this because it was a little bit expensive, and I am not a collector of anti-plex releases. I only got like one or two back there, but yeah. The thing with this release, I love the anime, and I love the manga. I'm collecting the manga, and I'm watching the anime and all that stuff. I watched it when it debuted. Would I recommend this release for somebody to get into Demon Slayer? I gotta be honest with you guys, no I do not. I think for the price, the thing is you're like, oh, but it comes with so much stuff. Yeah, but this is just a first half of a release, so you're looking to spend much more than what they're asking because you're only seeing the price for it, this set, for volume one, if you will, or yeah, volume one. I don't know. I mean, if you've got the money, hell, go for it. I just happen to have the extra dosh to make it happen, but honestly, I'm a very practical guy. As you can see, my anime blu-ray collection is mostly filled with the single releases because you can fit a lot more on a billy shelf if you go that route instead of just buying every single collector's edition. Plus, there's the fact that I'm not going to use 90% of the stuff that's in the collector's editions for different anime, stuff like posters or different art cards or keychains, all that stuff. Somebody that likes using that stuff, so they're just going to be boxed up and I'm not going to look at it, so regardless. For the price, I mean, yeah, you get the blu-ray release and you might want a bare bones edition, which is available for pre-order as of this video, so I would go for that route, honestly. The presentation is immaculate, it's beautiful, it's a gorgeous release, one of the best ones that they've done, but again, it all comes down to how you feel about spending so much money on a release like this, so if money is a factor, thankfully, Funimation's putting out the standard edition, which you can get for 40-something dollars, which is fantastic, so I would go that route, but if you've got the money and you don't care about spending it on high-profile releases like this and deluxe sets and all that stuff, go for it. Why the hell not? Treat yourself, right? But yeah, I'm just being completely honest and I'm probably going to get some flak from Aniplex Purist, because that's happened in the past, but I don't care. It is what it is, so yeah, love and hate relationship with Aniplex. It continues, wonderful stuff. So yeah, that was a very impromptu unboxing, completely improvised. As I said, I wasn't really thinking of doing it, I just looked at it a couple minutes ago before starting the recording and said, you know what, screw it, let's do a video on it. So yeah, fantastic A-plus presentation, questionable price, if you will, but overall a really cool looking set for one of the hottest shows in the biz right now. So yeah, make of it what you will. Still, I am going to enjoy re-watching the series and cannot wait for the second box set because that has one of the best anime moments or anime fights of 2019, if you know what I'm talking about, cannot wait for that. So guys, yeah, that's about it. Thank you so much for tuning in, thank you for liking, commenting, subscribing and being a part of, but we can geek them. Thank you so very much, I truly appreciate it. I've got to go, I'll catch all of you on our next episode.
