Hazbin Hotel Season Two Blu-ray Review – The Bigger Poster, the Worse Creases
Quick Verdict Hazbin Hotel Season Two Blu-ray with the PR-32 WATCH PARTY promo card: $25 for the season, an exclusive promo card, and a poster — an irresistible lineup for a fan. The show itself was a shock when I first found it: unfiltered dialogue, gestures, casually adult content, and more beyond that. The contents…

Hazbin Hotel Season One Blu-ray Review – The PR-20 Promo Card Still Ships
Quick Verdict Hazbin Hotel Season One Blu-ray with the PR-20 promo card: I heard the promo card was still being included, so I ordered it together with the Season 2 Blu-ray.

Chocobo Playing Cards Review – Every Card Illustrated Except J/Q/K
Quick Verdict Chocobo playing cards (CHOCOBO PLAYING CARDS チョコボトランプ) from Square Enix: I spotted it on the Square Enix site and hit buy lightly — the case alone was too cute. ¥1,980.

Mushoku Tensei Playing Cards Review – Only J/Q/K Illustrated, Still Decent
Quick Verdict Mushoku Tensei playing cards (無職転生 ～異世界行ったら本気だす～): a 54-card trump deck — actual playing cards, not trading cards — from Algernon Product at 1,320 yen tax included.

Helluva Boss Movic Kimono Acrylic Stands Review – Queen Bee Towers Over Verosika
Quick Verdict Movic’s Helluva Boss kimono (和服) acrylic stands (ヘルヴァ・ボス): 11 designs at 1,980 yen each. The last of the trilogy — stickers, keyholders, stands — and I bought two again: Verosika and Queen Bee. Queen Bee floats mid-sky with flame effects cut as a single acrylic piece, so her stand covers roughly twice Verosika’s…

Helluva Boss Movic Kimono Acrylic Keyholders Review – Was Buying Only 2 of 11 a Mistake?
Quick Verdict Movic’s Helluva Boss kimono (和服) acrylic keyholders (ヘルヴァ・ボス): 11 designs at 880 yen each. I bought two — Verosika and Queen Bee — and I’m already wondering if stopping at two was a mistake.
