nice video, they arrived in great condition, cd japan has quite good handling i bought the same set from toho and shipped them to my country myself, now debating whether to get another full set just to keep one set seals forever and watch the other set so expensive but i love this series too much D:
Oh wow! I've thought about something like that before. But, the price is as you've said, quite tough to get the entire set because of it. Seeing how popular the series is, I'm not surprised if they'll release a compact edition at a lower price. However, there's no guarantee it'll happen 😅
Hello, nice unboxing, but the storage box is really thin. When we receive collection slipcases, they tend to be thicker. What I've always wanted to ask is what do you do with all the extras? Do you have a box where you keep everything or are they just in the corresponding volumes? I think in Germany we only get 4 volumes, but fewer extras. Whatever the licensor allows can be licensed. We usually get the slimmed-down license package. I haven't watched the anime yet, only episode 1, but will watch it again on Crunchyroll. But the manga is already available in this country and is doing quite well so far. Best regards from Germany ✌
Hey! Quite thin, but I do think it's sturdy enough. I'll see if it can withstand the test of time 😅 As for the extras, you're right! I tend to keep them in a separate box (specially for the extras). At the same time, I do use some of them though. The can badges on my bags and keychains on some of my stuff like wallet or chain it onto my zippers! Quite similar to how it is in the US, right? Compact editions, fewer extras, fewer discs, but with all the episodes?
@@erzat Hello, then good luck that it is robust enough. Yes, an extra box where you can store extras is always an advantage. I also have a box like this where I keep all kinds of extras that don't fit into the collection slipcases or volumes. I rarely use extras. I think stickers are terrible as extras. I don't hang posters on my wall either. But sure, do what you think. It's up to you. Similar to the USA, I can hardly say. But the anime volumes in this country are more expensive than the USA/UK import. As far as extras are concerned. Additional licenses that you have to buy separately, soundtracks etc. are rather rare or drama CDs are almost non-existent. What is rather standard for extras in this country are: Booklets, collector's slipcases, special packaging (Steelbooks/Future Paks, Digipaks...) Yes, also stickers and posters, art cards and occasionally digital extras such as interviews or making-ofs, then just standards such as trailers or picture galleries. These are one of the most common extras that you have to buy in addition for Germany. Occasionally the international release is also purchased, but the German dub is missing and there are also fewer extras, which are then released as a complete edition. Then have fun with freezing, as I said, I still have to wait. I'm currently taking a break from Crunchyroll and I don't watch any more anime in the simulcast anyway. 😁
@@kuro-1980 Yes! I need all the luck! That's correct. Although I have to admit that because I've bought quite a good amount of releases the past couple of years, I have so many extras that I'm not using. I haven't hung any of the posters or frames so far. But I'm planning to do so once I have a separate room to house all my stuff 😅 That's surprising! Didn't realise that it'll be more expensive. How much on average if I may ask? Similar from the USA imports that I've bought. IIRC, the Dr. Stone release that I bought doesn't come with Drama CDs. Other extras you mentioned tend to be included. Oh, perhaps the market for German dub is not that big? Haha welcome to the club! I don't follow anime weekly. I binge them!! 😎
@@erzat Hello, then good luck to you^^ Yes, I find certain extras quite unnecessary. But I'm over 40, so I don't hang any more anime posters on my walls or stick stickers anywhere. 😅 But you can do that. Good luck with that too. To be honest, I've bought less anime and more manga in the last few years. And I sold the only light novel I owned (Goblin Slayer). So I guess you'll have to grow your collection soon. XD I make it easy for myself, I just sell when I don't like it anymore or when anime is also available in the stream and also in my language (German). I don't know the exact average. But because the anime market here is so small in contrast to other countries like the USA/UK and the licensees also pay extra for the synchro and special extras that aren't included in the license package, it's also more expensive. Especially when the volumes come with fewer episodes. Not so few in the international sector, but some publishers still have the 3-episode system. Others already have 6 episodes or 12 episodes per disc. As I said, extras are additional licenses. There are anime publishers where you don't get any physical extras either. Instead, they show off with the collector's slipcase, which are then quite sought-after by collectors. And are offered on platforms like Ebay at moon prices... The synchro market in Germany is quite small for anime, yes, but somewhat larger for real films and series. Yes, at times I get a subscription to Crunchyroll and watch everything important to me and then cancel again. I've simply given up on a permanent subscription because I'm just not a big anime fan anymore. Especially with season anime, there have been fewer and fewer per season in recent years. The target group, where I also collect mangas, is rarely the case in the anime segment these days. So enough for today, the (short) novel has become too long again XD Greetings from Germany^^
@@kuro-1980 Hello again! Yes, I understand where you're coming from, in fact, I'm also starting to think what am I going to do with all the collections that I've amassed over the past couple of years. I'm gradually running out of space for these 😅 It's quite sad to hear that you've let go of some of your collection, but I can see why that's the case. Hence, these days, I only collect anime or manga I believe I'm going to be able to read or watch a couple of times of which some I still do. Oh, thank you for telling me about how the market works in Germany! I didn't know that that's your situation over there. From where I come from, nearly every products of anime, manga and light novels are imported. Only a handful are licensed here. So, to get them, I need to withstand the currency and import tax pressure. I can imagine how expensive they can be. I have an older cousin who likes to collect limited edition products, and when he came to my house, he kept telling me to keep all that I have in good condition so that when I no longer want them, I can sell them at really, really high price 😅 I got it! I hope Japan will produce more anime in line with various tastes! Even for myself, I tend to get 2 - 3 hits every season these days 🥲 A lot of the ones I like to not be animated or has an adaptation yet. Haha the novel has indeed gotten too long! And greetings from me!! 😎
Quick question my brother, I ordered the Blur-rays One by one as they were being released, but I didn't get the Box where they are saved, I thought it was supposed to arrive with the 7th Volume but I didn't get it, is there something that needs to be done to claim it?
Hey! While it's true that for a number of releases, after collecting all volumes we might receive the storage box (though quite seldomly), but I don't think Sousou no Frieren has that perk when buying its volumes individually. We will have to purchase the store exclusive packages for that 😔 I hope that answers your question!
Those postcards are amazing.
Very!

I feel you on the box, mine came in yesterday and it feels quite flimsy, hope it can stand the test of time
Thanks for that! I was wondering if the outcome is normal or I screwed up somewhere 😅
