What!?, just my luck that I place an order the day before it goes up. Oh well, guess I'll be making another order.

Just got yesterday my import of the Korean sets of GITS:SAC. Went for these instead of the broken Anchor Bay US releases.

From the Shark Madness sale... "the" because "a" doesn't make much sense either... I picked up Is it Wrong to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, a title I initially balked at but then remembered that Luci Christian was Hestia in the dub.

And that was everything I pretty much imagined it would be. Once I'm done with that, I'm back to watching Christian in Xam'd and Christian in Super Gals. I don't know if I have a problem or if dubs that don't feature her have a problem.

Luci is great, one of my favourite VAs. But yeah, your taste is a little bit limited if she's the only one you care about.

Pre-ordered the Gundam MS Igloo Blu-Ray and the Akira Collector's Blu-Ray off RightStuf.

Hopefully, this will be the last time I ever feel the need to buy Akira...

if there is one constant in this industry of ours, it is that someone always intends to produce a new Akira release every now and then. (And why not? It has done Manga Entertainment proud since time immemorial.)

I'm not sure how much I want to "interact" with some of Akira's later scenes.

Come on we know you want to ride Kaneda's bike with the soundtrack playing in the background. Wink Smile

I'll be skipping this release as I have Funi's previous one and I don't need to quadruple dip at this point.

I was visiting with friends in NYC this weekend and yesterday went to Book-Off and picked up some used manga:

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei vol. 2-14

I had gotten vol. 1 from a generous soul on the community forum but then was disturbed to see that the rest appeared to be out of print. It appears from what is in the ANN encyclopedia this is all that was released here but I am not sure from the info here if it is complete.

Last Tuesday I purchased a new New Nintendo 3DS XL (there goes my charter membership in the PC Gaming Master Race) with a copy of the Super Smash Brothers game from a local Target and got a copy of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon from Wal-Mart. I also bought some games from the e-store:

Animal Crossing: New Leaf
Steamworld Dig
Steamworld Heist
Tank Troopers

I also shopped for used games at Book-Off and got:

Bravely Default
Professor Layton and the Curious Village (DS)
Tales of the Abyss
Xenoblade Chronicles 3D

I then ordered some games from Amazon which had some good sales for Prime Members:

Bravely Second End Layer
Mario Kart 7
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate
Monster Hunter Generations

Earlier today I was in Nintendo NY (formerly Nintendo World) and I purchased Corpse Party for the 3DS. It was some kind of limited edition as it came with a soundtrack and two tiny figures but was the same price as the game alone would have been.

It seems like you've bought a whole bunch of games for it already, but if you want another inexpensive anime-themed game, I full-heartedly recommend Little Battlers Experience, which is under 9 bucks on Amazon right now. I picked it up less than a month ago, and I'm already 90 hours into it, so it's a real bang for your buck.

Behold the secondary good that arises from theatrical anime screenings! This is why such events should happen more often.
