Won a couple of eBay items tonight:
Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid complete with the art box! Which I simply needed because it had to match the other two, which are singles with art box Wolf's Rain complete Legends set. I find it weird that I know the actual picture is sideways, but most official things (like on here for example) show a different image, did it get released twice or something? But I've seen that legends set irl quite a while back so I know it exists with the sideways picture (the isbn also matches). Soul Eater has a similar problem in that generic images show a different cover than the official one, why is this? Is it changed after that image gets released but before it's printed or something? I've also seen pictures of the bootleg version and I know it's not that so I should be safe there. Anyway, this series had better live up the hype or I'm gonna be rather annoyed. |

@lem yeah that is the one. The bonuses are mindblowing for Amazon.co.jp items you think would be exclusive to some place like Animate!
The shelf is secure thank god it's so top heavy with about 150 discs populating the upper half. I was thinking about trying to hunt down another shelf same make and model. It was from Target. Having one on each some of the television would be amazing. Tons of space I highly doubt I could buy another 150 import discs. I'm running out of favorites. |

Damn you Owly constantly reminding me about volumes I had forgotten had been released; I now need to pick up Blue Exorcist 12.
In the mean time Claymore 25 arrived today... It's only my most anticipated release of the year!

@lem I gotta get that Spirited Away disc soon I'm dying to watch it in JP for the first time. Crazy but I've only heard the ENG dub! I've compiled a NICE list of discs to ask for for Christmas. The current exchange rate is really going to help out can't believe I used to pay $75 USD after shipping for each film. Shaves out about $25 USD now. Lem, keep an eye on your inbox I'm going to send you some pictures of my stuff soon I've been meaning to show you. I don't think I'll be doing a Shelf Life submission for a while there are far too many holes in my collection

I had a $15 gift certificate from Crunchyroll all year without using it (Well, I did, but I ordered a set that ended up getting cancelled, so the certificate was returned) and I figured "WTF, let's get the Halloween Mystery Box".
30 discs for $30 (minus $15 gc, + $5 shipping) It's a spectacular use of shelf space, that's for sure. And a spectacular reason for Right Stuff to clear theirs of unwanted Geneon/Pioneer old product. 4 movies Appleseed (2004) Armitage: Dual Matrix eX-Driver: The Movie Submarine 707 Revolution: The Movie Last Exile Vols. 1-3 Gun-X-Sword Vols. 1 & 6 Gregory Horror Show Vols. 1 & 2 (of 3?) 8 other first volumes: Rumiko Takahashi Anthology: Primal Needs (1) Space Pirate Captain Harlock: The Endless Odyssey (1) The Melody of Oblivion (1) The Law of Ueki (1) Trigun Remix (1) Texhnolyze (1) Burn-Up Scramble (1) Someday's Dreamers (1) 11 other middle/late volumes 3x3 Eyes (2) Doki Doki School Hours (2) Heat Guy J (2 & 7) L/R: Licensed by Royalty (3 & 4) Saiyuki Reload (2) The Soultaker (3) X (4) Zipang (4) K-on! (4 - the only non Geneon/Pioneer disc) Not a total waste of money... but close, about 3/5 are disposable and the rest are just tolerable as show samplers and one-watch-and-done stuff. |

Alright so I've been hooked on Pokemon TCG this past week. A co-worker of mine got me into heading to Walmart after work to swoop up a booster pack or two. Got a holo Diancie in my first package (all Phantom Forces, the newest expansion) so it kinda encouraged me to keep buying...nine boosters later (also digital due to the redemption code in each bringing my total opened packages to 18 and total spendings at $36) I've pulled FOUR ultra rare cards. Two EX Pokemon (Manectric EX and MEGA Manectric EX) two of them elusive "full arts" variants (Both Lysandre and AZ supporter cards). I check the odds online and its 1:18 packages so I've totally squashed that probability. The initial goal was to get a Mega Gengar to use in a deck I've got an Elite Trainer Box on the way in the mail (a small college graduation present from my girlfriend so I didn't add it into the total spendings) so who knows. If not I still have a sweet collection of cards, both physical and digital at my disposal. Good god this shit is addictive pulling two rares in one booster is a total rush. If anyone here plays online send me your info!
@Spastic Minnow Melody of Oblivion is one of my absolute favorites hope you enjoy. Enokido is a genius. |

I knew TRSI's 3rd Wave would come with more temptations. But as I lamented in the other thread, I didn't expect the Utena MegaDeal to come along -- for a show that I've seen three times and am buying for the third time, because even at standard TRSI studio sale prices + Got Anime (which rarely happens for Nozomi items anyway), it'd still be $11 more than this deal.
Also in the same order, a few of Sentai's greatest apparent non-hits: Akane iro ni Somaru Saka (S) Dream Eater Merry (Hyb) Happiness! DVD (S) Photo Kano (S) More fanservice and VN adaptations, including the completion in my collection of the Spring 2006 Haruhi Trinity via Happiness!'s Haruhi Kamisaka (to go along with Haruhi Suzumiya and Haruhi Fujioka). Dream Eater Merry, well... yeah, source book fans were probably right in their criticism of JC Staff on this 325-minute commercial, but I liked the concept, the OP, and some of the comedy. Plus, DEM's price reduction vs. the MSRP is unlikely to recur anytime soon.

Just tracked down and bought a copy of Escaflowne (TV).
I have long loved it but didn't realise how hard it had got to find. It's one of those things I just assumed would always be around. @classicalzawa The sideways thing is a bit odd, isn't it? (I have the same set.) But didn't Media Blasters do some similar covers? (My memory fails...) I find it hard to imagine that you'll be disappointed with Wolf's Rain, by the way. Count me with the chorus: for me, it belongs in a surprisingly smallish group of TV series that I think about often and have a recurring urge to rewatch. (Like, for me, Fantastic Children...)

I hope you found it for a somewhat reasonable price, as Funimation is eventually supposed to re-release it. But apparently it takes at least 18-24 months to re-release something that already has existing translations and dubs. The only thing on that list that's even solicited is Cowboy Bebop on 12/16. |
