My MAG age of innocence arrived a moment ago, my first from this label. I’d not even considered the outer box until I’d seen the photos and video above, just thought it came in a large full slip, the screenplay is also a hardback book which is unexpected. I still haven’t got around to watching the criterion edition I bought last year so this is a first time watch too. Overall the outer box and choice of film are good directions for this label to move in I think, rather than the somewhat over extravagant terminator set, if I had a nitpick I think the slip is crying out for some embossing but I’m very pleased with it.

Wow that everythingblu King Kong is a doozy, and a huge get nowadays. The grind house oc looks much better in hand than I thought it did in the bs, I went for the death proof lenticular myself, but they all look great from what I’ve seen, nova can’t seem to miss at the moment.
-
Nice, they actually match up well too. My Frankenstein editions are usually made up from wildly opposing colour schemes.
-
Zavvi, and it’s still in stock too. I’m not actually sure if it’s the same transfer as the Best Buy lionsgate version, I’ll give it a watch tonight probably.
-
Yeah six art cards and a poster by Matt Ferguson. Fingers crossed there’s no disc issues but I’m happy with it overall.
-
Just received the 4k Ghost In The Shell by funimation. I’m not good at accurately describing the finishes but I think it’s satin gloss with title embossing and border. I’m surprised funimation pulled this out of the bag with their relentless quality control issues but it feels jolly nice indeed in hand.
-
No I haven’t seen those either, I think they were due for a steel book release but I’m not sure if that’s still the case. I’ll need to catch up with all of it, the manga included which I’ve not started reading yet lol.
-
Yeah they did berserk too, I missed out on that one though, I’m hoping to find a second hand copy. I haven’t actually watched berserk yet.
-
Gutted, I was hoping for a steelbook only release in addition to this edition, I have the nova slip and was going to put the steel inside. I might just get the criterion edition now unless there’s a standard release from studio canal.
-
Zavvi had a random sale a couple of weeks ago, I happened to be scrolling at the right time lol . I think it sold out pretty quickly, I went back to get bunny girl senpai but that had gone too.
-
Violet’s about a former child soldier who starts work at a postal company that specialises in writing letters for people who either can’t write or want someone who can better articulate what they want to say. Through doing this Violet attempts to rediscover her humanity after the war. I’ve probably not done a very good job of explaining lol or made it sound boring, @Grendelcan do a better job I expect, it’s on Netflix anyway and there’s an ova episode along with a movie sequel too. I enjoyed it, definitely worth a watch.
-
That totoro looks great! I’d seen that perfect blue ata but it was too rich for my blood lol, I’ll probably get their standard blu and shove it in the steel.
-
I might get vampire hunting d steel while it’s still available, the ghibli steels I’m in two minds about. The uk ones are mostly out of print and ridiculously expensive so it might be easier to get the amarays and get some custom slipcovers for them. I love that perfect blue steel, I got the french one with a silent voice in a gb but they’ve not arrived yet.
-
Yeah it’s great to see them putting out great material, I loved VE the movie and hear great things about miss koboyashi s2. I’m thinking about splurging on euphonium s2 but it wasn’t released here and the right stuff pony canyon edition comes in two parts at $70 a pop. I think funimation are putting out hyouka soon and I’ve got my fingers crossed for the melancholy of haruhi too.
-
That’s a good question, I haven’t seen the blu ray discs yet, just the streaming versions. I remember thinking the music audio in your name was quieter than the Netflix but that might be my headphones. I’ll report back when I’ve compared over the weekend. Also these are pick ups over the last year or so, I’m basically starting again cos I haven’t really collected anime since the vhs days lol. Two eps per tape, those were the days.
-
Ha! Fair enough these are my most recent pick ups nge dvds - I managed to get these on eBay for a reasonable price, I have the Blu ray ce on pre order. A first time watch for me, I plan on watching the sub version this week. paranoia agent MVM millenium actress 4k ATA - PA was a first time watch and it was rather disturbing but it was very compelling, and what an op! MA I’d seen a long time ago and was due a rewatch. clannad sentai sound euphonium ata a silent voice ata violet evergarden ata Clannad funi tamako market/love story ata k-on sentai - I’ve been on a Kyoto animation binge recently, I don’t usually like slice of life anime but love their stuff. VE and ASV I’d seen on Netflix but the rest were first time watches. Loved eupho and tamako. Your name 4k ata Weathering with you 4k ata akira 4k ive samurai champloo MVM - these were all pick ups I’d seen apart from SC which I’m watching now with subs.
-
Yeah I just used right stuff to pick up k-on and clannad after reading the uk funimation releases were using old transfers, they arrived super quickly too. I’ll definitely use them again.
-
Yeah I randomly came across the samurai champloo steelbook for £15 the other week. I keep watching the opening two episodes of series I haven’t seen on Netflix, then if I like them I look for a Blu ray but the list is getting longer and longer. My current wish list already includes - fate stay/night ubw steinsgate ajin vinland saga bunnygirl senpai berserk miss koboyashi angel beats and this doesn’t include forthcoming releases or dvd catalog titles.
-
Oh man I can’t believe I missed that erased box, that’s a great pick up, it’s sold out now. Is there a sale on at Zavvi at the moment? I’m going for a gander.
-
That’s the spirit, I did the same thing with wcl Wild At Heart. I thought everyone did this but it’s quite controversial in some parts. I’ll be doing the same thing with Novas mulholland drive when studio canal put out a steelbook.

Grindhouse (Novamedia Exclusive #35) (WEA Blu-ray Steelbook) [Korea]
Mattrivers95 replied to R1s1ngs0n's topic in Novamedia
Oh that looks excellent, I keep meaning to seek out a kimchi snowpiercer on eBay, I think the Digipack is still attainable these days. -
You SHOULD be happy about it that’s one of the most impressive hauls I’ve ever seen. That kimchi fifth element with milla jovavich on the cover is a stunner.

Loving the transition on that death proof slip, I don’t think I’ve seen a forwards and backwards tilt lenticular before. They both look top notch though, nova have knocked this release out the park.
