You're very welcome! Those preview pics in there looked glorious! Mine hasn't arrived yet, but soon, soon... I can't wait to see the whole thing! Still, I'm always happy to share the joy of a good manga (or its art book) with others!

I went nuts on anime orders the past two weeks because I haven't seen much anime from February to July.

-Attack on Titan regular editions
-Tiger & Bunny (and the first movie)
-Star Blazers 2199 disc 4
-Deadman Wonderland
-Devil is a Part-Timer
-Kill la Kill disc 1
-Moribito (been wanting this one for a while but the old sets were really expensive there for a while)
-Watamote
-GitS 25th Year Edition

(all Blu-Ray)

A lot of pre-orders but these should keep me busy for a while, at least until hockey starts again.

On the previous Right Stuf Sentai sale, I purchased:

Mardock Scramble: The Third Exhaust Blu-ray Director's Cut
Patlabor TV Series Blu-ray Collection 1
Patlabor TV Series Blu-ray Collection 3


I also preordered Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya Blu-ray Complete Collection.

Funny thing is I realized that I purchase Patlabor TV Series Collection 2 a while back when I bought stuff in the last Sentai sale. Back then, I was wanting to get the first collection.

A little disappointed in Shana Season Two S.A.V.E. Edition. For one, there is no slip cover like the first season's S.A.V.E edition had (which wreaks havoc on my continuity/detail-oriented shelving), and the cover art is NOT reversible, so I'm stuck with the ugly green spine label. Booo Funimation, booooooo.

Just won a DVD lot on ebay that includes Stellvia Complete Collection w/ LE Collector's Tin, Sound of the Sky Complete Series Litebox, and Kamichu! DVDs 1-3 w/ Artbox and all inserts (I already own all four DVDs of the series, but I didn't own the artbox and I don't have ANY of the inserts that came with vol. 1, so this essentially completes the whole set for me). The auction also included a Dating Sim called Hourglass of Summer, so that's pretty neat.

Anyway, best part is that the entire lot sold for just $100! I've seen Stellvia alone go for well over that for the collector's tin set, and the Kamichu! box set is also regularly resold for $100-150+, so those alone made this one of the best deals I've ever got.

A few years ago I bought a used Kamichu set with artbox (no inserts, I don't think) for $80 only to stumble across a person who was selling the same set for $30 a few months later... Sad

A similar incident occurred recently with Code Geass R2, where the complete Bandai collection was going used for $200+ at one point from the few sellers who had them (and they were actually selling at that price too). Then, out of nowhere, a hidden cache of those sets must have been unearthed because numerous sellers started posting them for $30-50 brand new; some even having more than 10 available to purchase. Glad I waited for that one Very Happy

Deepdiscount had another "I pity you" discount code combined with a "for the geeks and nerds" convention/anime sale. Anyway, against my better judgment, I picked up Samurai Bride and Familiar of Zero.

One series so good {for what it is} that the majority of the dub actors hide their names but not their voices and the other is a completely adapted Light Novel series that's not fully licensed.

See that barrel? I'm scraping it so hard, I don't think there's a bottom left.

Hooray, got my Twin Spica artbook in today! It was much smaller than I was expecting... sure, the seller had a ruler next to it, I've just never seen an art book that small before. It's nice nonetheless.
Also picked up What Did You Eat Yesterday? 3 from B&N.
