Just pre-ordered Barakamon via Rightstuf. Tempted to buy up more among Funi's August slate of pre-orders, but will have to hold off for now until I have more money from selling off unwanted parts of my collection via E-Bay.

Mainly been filling collection holes I may not be able to for much longer:
Gankutsuou SAVE (recently purchased the original novel as well)
Welcome to the NHK! SAVE
Jojo's Bizarre Adventure season 1 (because Viz's track record suggests they will not include Yes's Roundabout)
Thermae Romae vol. I-III

Also, due to to my newfound access to a PS3, I was able to pick up:
JJBA: All-Star Battle
Ni no Kuni
Catherine


Oh! And I became acquainted with this dashing gentleman:

Best Buy had Attack on Titan on sale so I picked up both sets, though I was really just there to pick up Deadpool and Star Wars Episode VII.

Pre-ordered from Rightstuf:
Barakamon BD
AssClass Season 1 Part 2 BD
Laughing Under the Sun BD
BBB LE


Pre-ordered from Amazon:
Belladonna of Sadness BD (which I could have afforded the LE), but for now I will settle for just the movie.

A friend wanted some of the $10 things from that sale on RightStuf, so I decided to get a few manga to make free shipping. Mostly, these are the things that I do not want to wait for the comic shop to get because I want them now, dammit! And these are two of the best series I have read in the past year.

orange omnibus 2
Silent Voice 7


And one anime disc, I got a Burst Angel set (for free), but it had a duplicate disc 1, so I needed Burst Angel vol 3 DVD to fix that problem. Even if the show ends up sucking, at least I only put $3 into it.

Just took notice of Rightstuf's heavily discounted selection of Sentai titles and ordered Burn Up and Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East's first season. Not a bad deal getting two titles for less than $20, counting shipping.

Took some advantage of RSA's $5/7.5/10 sale, to obtain

Fate/Stay Night (2006) DVD
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya S1 BD
Di Gi Charat Specials DVD (will snag the main series in a more favorable Sentai/Christmas sale)
Girls Und Panzer DVD (blind buy)
Nyan Koi! BD
The Pet Girl of Sakura Hall DVD
Canaan BD (completing the not-really-official girls-with-guns tetrology following Noir, Madlax, and El Cazador de la Bruja)

I originally added Prisma Illya S1 DVD to my cart instead, and was this close to adding Glasslip as a blind buy to reach the free shipping threshold. However, the overwhelmingly bad (and not in a "this is a trashy fanservice show that critics hate, but I will enjoy nonetheless" way) reception for it gave me pause, so I upgraded Prisma Illya from DVD to BD instead. Now that I've had a BD player for almost 2 years, I suppose it's time to accept more BD-only purchases instead of clinging to DVD when no combo option is available. Heck, the DVD tray in my main DVD player won't even open anymore (though the unit still functions for surround sound), so the only devices limited to DVD-only playback are the portable player and laptop/PC.

And now there's a vanishingly-rare Funi sale, which unfortunately comes right on the heels of a $428 car repair bill Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

@Zalis116

I was under the impression that all BD players will also play DVDs without problems. I know the two I've bought play them. They also play CDs.

Oops, poor phrasing on my part. My BD player certainly can play DVDs as well; it's only those secondary devices that require DVDs.

Made a small pre-order on TRSI for September:

CLAMP School Detectives Complete Collection DVD
Tsubasa World Chronicle Vol. 3


I wasn't going to miss out on the chance to get CLAMP School Detectives this time around, since I screwed myself over with getting it before it went OOP after Bandai's closing.

Just pre-ordered Rolling Girls via Rightstuf. Leaves Garo and Assassination Classroom left for me to buy up among the Funi August slate, though I'm also interested in getting Dokyuusei.

Preordered Rolling Girls off Rightsuf. Also included Cromartie High School because I wanted the free shipping and that show is hilarious.

From the Funi Rightstuf sale I preorderd: Yona Series 1 & 2, Barakamon, and Boy and the Beast.

Also Ordered Shirobako Pt 2 & Yona manga Vol 1.

And this morning I bought kindle versions of Barakamon Vol 10, The Heiress & the Chauffer Vol 1, and Noragami 11 & 12. I am really behind on reading manga though so I have to catch up.

Manga
