@geishageek,
I've had really good luck with AmiAmi as well. And if I was going to invest that much in a show I too would definitely want to have the assurances that comes with relying on a service that I am very familiar with and can trust as much as possible. That said, Amazon Prime is a fairly recent thing for me, and yes, so far it is working like a charm. No complaints here. *knocks on wood* As for Amazon JP, their much welcome move to lower the shipping costs and their use of DHL for things going to Alaska have been a big plus for me. They've also proven themselves to be very reliable. Of all the discs I've ever ordered from them, at least a couple of hundred to date, only one has ever arrived crushed. So yeah, so far there isn't anything that they've done to turn me away from their services. *more knocks* *tempted to click on "place your order" for Jojo's now*  crap. but I can't. I gotta cool my jets. bought way too much recently.

@lem
I had nothing specific in mind concerning crowdsourcing. Just the impression that several people were complaining about something they didn't get. The only two I have been involved in have been AnimEigo's Bubble Gum Crisis Bluray and Anime Sols Creamy Mami both of which delivered exactly what was promised. It was an interesting contrast. Anime Sols had almost no communication and Robert Woodhead of AnimEigo wouldn't shut up. Concerning Fancy Lala, the guy in glasses sets up the initial premise and then fades out of the picture. I think he has at most a couple of minutes of screen time after the first episode. The rest of the show is all Fancy Lala herself. |

Just had to go back to the comic shop after renting Yamada-kun and the Seven Witches from the library. Got the first two volumes though, hooray! And World Trigger 4, which I can't remember if I have, though a cursory shelf glance says "no", but the february publication date and my list say "maybe?" I checked when I got home and I don't see it, so hopefully I didn't get two copies I guess?
I hate it when I can't remember if I have a specific volume, it makes me feel old |

This is why I keep a list in my phone of where I'm up to with all the series I'm buying. However, it only works if I remember to update it once I've bought stuff... |

I don't have a smart phone though. I have a list of my computer that I update when I get home. I also bring a list with me to things like Otakon to help out (and everyone's phone dies during the con it seems, so a physical list is nice) |

After noticing them on Crunchyroll, I stopped by TRSI and preordered a couple of Aniplex+ figures:
Puella Magi Madoka Magica Figure: Kimono Kyoko Sakura (1/8) Puella Magi Madoka Magica Figure: Kimono Sayaka Miki (1/8) I happened to notice they're more expensive at TRSI than anywhere else since there's no dimensional shipping charge elsewhere, but a bit of wondering through my confusion and I happened to notice TRSI also has an earlier shipping date, so it looks like that's for expedited shipping to their warehouse. I can pay for that. @classicalzawa: My old fliphone had a notes function in the menu; you should check to see if your phone has one, too. |

True. And if I were collecting like 5 manga, that wouldn't be a big deal. But I'm collecting like 20-25, I don't know if my phone has enough space for my entire list, lol |

Before I had a smartphone I used to use draft text messages for notes so you could try that.

Ordered:
Monster 4: Perfect Edition Love at Fourteen 2 Vagabond 37 Hunter X Hunter 32 I'm very much looking forward to reading Vagabond as it seems like Inoue is slowly bringing this series to its conclusion. Edit: I may have stumbled across a few more: Your Lie in April 1 Assassination Classroom 3 Noragami 4 Lets Dance a Waltz 1 Decided after chatting to Owly and Willag last night that I need to increase me Shojo titles so after reading the review for Lets Dance a Waltz it became a must buy. |

Was waiting for the release date to hit so I could get free shipping on Rakuten (I prefer their prices and Amazon charges tax, so them over Amazon totally). Ordered Michiko & Hatchin and Tiger & Bunny The Rising (movie 2), both on blu-ray

Ordered the first volume of Cute High Earth Defense Club LOVE! from Rightstuf. I enjoyed the show enough to plunk down for PonyCan's release.. but feel a tad sour over the deal. Just not really enough extras to justify the high price.
And after long consideration, I also ordered Warner's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Season 1 set..... SOLELY for the dub option. Will cancel my order if the dub falls through, as I now have my JP Imports with subs, and will not need their inferior DVD release for the same content. |
