Will’s Anime Watchlist For Summer 2024

Saw One Piece Film: Red the other day with my wife and a friend. Fantastic film! I’d never seen a One Piece film before so it was pretty fun. I am caught up with the manga and occasionally watch clips from the anime. But yeah, it was really fun! Loved that it was a musical! Also, there’s a little something in there for the manga readers so be sure to look for that. :) I wish I could be less generic with this description but I really don’t want to spoil anything. If you like One Piece I can’t recommend it enough!

“"I’ve got no choice but to crush it with my fist." MASHLE: MAGIC AND MUSCLES comes to Crunchyroll this April! @MashleAnimeENG ✨ READ MORE

This is one of the funniest series I’ve ever read. I can’t recommend it enough. One of my favorite series running in Jump right now, though it is close to ending. Anyway, this trailer is great. Perfectly captures the series. Go read or watch Mashle. 🤩

My in-laws are really cool. They don’t watch anime but they know I watch anime and will get me anime themed gifts for Christmas. Last year, they got me a bunch of One Piece stuff including models of the Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny. This year it was figures of Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen and Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul. I haven’t actually read Tokyo Ghoul yet but it is next on my binge read list. The point is, my in-laws are the coolest and I love them very much. 😊

Wake up, babe! New Bleach opening just dropped!

This one might be my favorite. Kinda gives me “Ranbu no Melody” vibes. Super excited for the premiere!

One week until Scarlet/Violet release!

Adding a late addition to this. Delico’s Nursery on Crunchyroll. It’s about a bunch of aristocratic vampires investigating a series of murders while also trying to take care of their children. It’s pretty neat so far.

Will’s Anime Watchlist for Summer 2024

It’s a bit smaller this time but that’s okay. I’m gonna try and catch up on all the dubs I want to watch.

Continuing series from the previous season:

That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime Season 3 (Crunchyroll)

Mission: Yozakura Family (Hulu)

Spice & Wolf: The Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf (Crunchyroll) (Started watching this in the middle of the previous season and forgot to add it to my previous watchlist post.)

New shows for this season:

Red Cat Ramen or Ramen Akaneko (Crunchyroll)

My Deer Friend Nokotan (Crunchyroll) (Favorite of the season)

The Elusive Samurai (Crunchyroll)

Other anime I’ve been watching:

Daily Lives of High School Boys (Crunchyroll) (Just finished. It was very stupid and funny.)

The Apothecary Diaries (Crunchyroll)

And will this be the season my wife and I finally finish Summer Time Rendering?!? Maybe! Once we finish Apothecary Diaries.

I will try to update this if we add any shows to our list. I won’t include any of the dubs I’m gonna check out because that should be it’s own post.

Please please please retweet this if you can. I'm in an incredibly rough spot, and need all of the help I can get financially. My roomie is out of a job, and it's on me to make up as much as I can in order to foot the bills... and I'm very sick, without medication I need, so I can't force more work at my job. Please spread this, if you can't help. It means the world to me.

Cool Bleach Stuff That I’ve Found Working at Vintage Stock

Alright, so I’ve been working at Vintage Stock for about five months now and from time to time we’ll get in some pretty neat stuff, whether it’s from corporate or a customer selling us stuff. Today, I’d like to highlight some of the Bleach stuff that we’ve gotten in. It ranges from really cool to funny to strange. Here we go!

First up:

This sick Hollow Ichigo mask. Bought this in from a customer. Cost $4.99. Immediately bought it for myself. It’s made of plastic so it’s not super high quality but it’s still pretty sick. Of course, like a week or two later, corporate sent us this:

I’m not 100% what material this one was made from but it was much higher quality. Cost $29.99. A customer bought it within a few days. I’m not too upset losing out on this one since I already have the other one for much cheaper. On to other things!

For context, I’m saying “Oh no”, because I know I’m going to buy this later. I actually didn’t though. I bought this one instead.

It was worth it. 😊 Anyway, at Vintage Stock we sell all manner of collectibles, DVDs, video games, and more. This includes figures, of course. So when we got this one in:

I knew I needed her immediately. I actually didn’t have any Bleach figures yet so this was pretty nice. We also had figures of Ichigo when he gets his new Zangetsu and Uryu in his Sternritter uniform but those got bought pretty quickly. We also have a couple of pre-owned figures. And, man. Are they funny.

I don’t know what’s funnier. Renji getting Mike Wazowskied twice or Byakuya costing ten dollars more. Anywho:

Obilgatory Funko photo. I don’t like Funko Pops. The only ones I own are gifts, aside from a Baby Groot one my wife and I bought after the first Guardians of the Galaxy movie came out. However, this one is kinda neat. Especially since it glows in the dark. Is it worth $59.99? Absolutely not. At least for me. Last thing on this list is DVDs. We actually bought in several box sets this evening.

Pretty standard stuff. We also already have Bleach DVDs in stock but they’re a bit… different.

Notice how it says, “Chapter 325-366,” the final episodes of the first anime, but the art is everyone in their season one looks. Also notice the art on the DVD on the right.

That, my friends, is fanart. We have bootleg Bleach boxsets for sale. 😂🤣 This was what inspired me to make this post in the first place but I wanted to wait until we got more stuff in. Here’s hoping I get more neat Bleach stuff in my store.

Man, between Shadows Over Loathing shadow dropping on Switch last week, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Future Redeemed dropping yesterday, and Tears of the Kingdom coming out in less than three weeks, I am set on video games for the next couple of months. 🤩
