Heck, even the Japanese DVDs would be an improvement, since Funi's Bamboo Blade DVDs = TV version.

But they're raw. Not available as a set. And would also set you back about 300-350 USD for all nine singe volumes and the art box. That is if you could get each of them shipped to you without the use of a proxy service/friend overseas/some other way. For a raw, region 2 dvd set.

If the R4 set also looks like *******, then I guess there's always the short wait for the license to switch hands and or a 4K release....Shocked Very Happy

Really enjoying the absurd, wacky, slightly off kilter craziness that is Nichijou right now, so I went looking for the music. To my surprise there's quite a few different cds available Zzz Single, Maxi by Sayaka Sayaki
And this one is finally in the queue.

Also did some ordering of a few domestic blu releases (of ones that I've already imported) along with a couple of dvd sets from Section23/Sentai
The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (Blu-ray + DVD) Still no release date. What's up with that? They had one and now they don't?
Porco Rosso [Blu-ray]
Patema Inverted [Blu-ray] Still waiting on the UK one.

The big re-order, mostly comprising of shows I owned previously, stolen, but covered by renter's insurance (I strongly recommend American Family Insurance if you're in a state they operate).

The timing of the claim payment cooresponded nicely to the end of the Right Stuff sale... so...

Managed to pick up Summit of the Gods for under £15 - Amazon showed there was one left in stock which makes me believe this steal was too good to be true. I've had it before where a volume had been under half the price of other sellers only to be informed that the stock was over stated.

Since I don't fully trust that RightStuf is really and truly done with their sales and I can always place another order, I did order some things for now:

Assassination Classroom 1
The Happy Life
Magical Witch Punie-Chan
Master Keaton 1
New Dominion Tank Police
Synesthesia
You're Under Arrest season 2 parts 1 &2


For the manga, I normally wait until the comic shop gets them, but they didn't have them yesterday and, well, they're also half off here so logically, why not? Actually, the comic shop has to charge me tax, so this is a slight improvement. Been looking forward to Master Keaton, since I enjoyed the anime a lot. They were out of Full Throttle parts 1 & 2, but they may always get in more. The Happy Life has the actor who was Hwang Taekyung in You're Beautiful, so I simply had to.

Another order from TRSI:

Black Magic M-66 DVD
Mysterious Girlfriend X Blu-ray Complete Collection
Place to Place DVD Complete Collection
Time of Eve: The Movie Blu-ray + Soundtrack CD

I wasn't sure about spending more money on Time of Eve as I already own the import BD of the ONA but since it includes the soundtrack and two other short videos I decided to get it. For Black Magic M-66 I really wanted to pick up a copy of the old release since it has both languages but it's getting too expensive even for a used copy; since I usually don't watch dubs anyway I figured I would just go ahead and get the new release.

The Time of Eve movie is also dubbed as well. It should be the same thing as mine, though I got mine through the Kickstarter campaign.

The Time of Eve: The Movie also has 15 minutes more runtime than the ONA. The Deluxe edition which is not on the xmas sale differs in packaging and that it contains a nice little book, but otherwise is the same movie.

I was aware of the English dub and the additional footage but with money being real tight this year those were not quite enough to make me buy it (for one thing I rarely watch dubs) even though I tend to be a completest, since even on sale it seemed a little high for a movie. Having the additional content and the soundtrack made the deal much more attractive. Also, I have never seen any episodes so it was a total blind buy.
