Watch the "WELCOME to the BLiNX WORLD!" DVD

For some time, the contents of the WELCOME to the BLiNX WORLD! DVD has remained a mystery to the Blinx community. The only background information known about the interestingly named DVD was that it was distributed as a special good at the Commemoration Release Event. Copies are hard to come by and when it comes to Blinx merchandise, it wasn't the most sought-after item in comparison to the NTSC-J versions of the games and promotional posters.

That is, until Emmett Eon over on the Blinx Corps discord recently bought it, ripped the contents and uploaded the files to archive.org and the video to YT.

It's a worthwhile watch for any Blinx fan. I highly recommend watching the whole thing, at least for potential cursed imagery and dubbed Catherine.

After you watch it, feel free to read my time-stamped notes on the video below.
