It's Koimonogatari, the last arc of the season. It hasn't been announced yet.

And something to note, it's much cheaper to import it from Amazon Japan. Things are a bit ridiculous given they're using a $1=100 JPY exchange rate at full MSRP. It makes the price worse than Fate/Zero S1 and that was using an exchange rate of $1=Around 80 JPY.
| Quote: | | Here's where we're at as of right now:
LE
Amazon Japan listed MSRP: ￥42,120
Amazon Japan listed discounted price (26% off): ￥31,168
Actual Amazon Japan discounted price (less 8% Japanese tax): ￥28,859
Shipping to North America: ￥800
Handling for one Blu-ray disc item: ￥300
Total: ￥29,959
Total in USD (exchange rate at the time of this posting is 119.28): $251.17
LE w/ Amazon Japan exclusive tapestry
Amazon Japan listed price (full LE MSRP, no discount): ￥42,120
Actual Amazon Japan price (less 8% Japanese tax): ￥39,000
Shipping to North America: ￥800
Handling for one Blu-ray disc item: ￥300
Total: ￥40,100
Total in USD (exchange rate at the time of this posting is 119.28): $336.18
So, really what it comes down to for some folks is this (compared to the LE at Amazon Japan): is the translation booklet and a yet-to-be-detailed wall scroll worth an additional $162.81 (give or take) to you?
Alternately, if you really want something to hang on your wall (compared to the LE with tapestry at Amazon Japan): is the translation booklet worth an additional $77.80 (give or take) to you? |

Sigh, not sure if I'll get this from Rightstuf over Amazon Japan. But that production booklet...

Because that one anime boxset with its BDs, CDs, and written material will get 10x more replay value that any PS4 game would get from me ;p
That Aniplex USA price for UBW I is crazy. Until the yen inflates again I'm sticking with Amazon.co.jp for all of my purchases. I kinda wish I was still head-over-heels for Aniplex USA I really used to love their products. The magic was lost for me somewhere between the Read or Die BD box and seeing that asking price for the Oreimo BD set.

And yet, you can collect several complete anime sets for the price of a single AoA half-complete set.
Between that, and importing these very same shows from Europe at a later point, there's just no other way of slicing it: Buying from AoA is an immensely poor decision that has the fun rebound of justifying that business model.

First let me clarify I am speaking as a normal poster, not a moderator. What you need to understand Leland is that while it may seem like a bad idea to you does not mean everyone else shares that opinion. If a person really enjoys a show and wants to support it that is their right and choice and it is not a poor decision. They may not want other shows. Plenty of people are perfectly content paying more and purchasing from Aniplex. You don't have to understand or even agree with people's decision to do so, but you should respect their decision as it is their money. I personally would prefer to wait for better deals and not spend that much but I would not begrudge someone else from purchasing Aniplex merchandise. Just my 2 cents.

My girl and I are actually pretty big on our 3DS games. It's got everything we need. Animal Crossing, Bravely Default, Pokemon, etc. Might get PS4 when the new Final Fantasy comes out. I'm right in the middle of a FF13 replay right now, this time on a 360! I've got a new 5.1 set up since I first played and it sounds awesome.

I can buy all of those series and F/SN: UBW too as well. You spend money on things you like, that's how hobbies work. If there is something that I want and it happens to be expensive than so be it; that's what a savings account is for. It's not like things like this happen all the time anyway.
