Not something I bought, but an early Christmas gift from a friend. Just got a Fate/Zero wall scroll in the mail from him today.

I've just purchased hosting for my future blog. My blog will be dedicated to anime as well but I still want to write about all Asian culture. I've found out here that joomla hosting would be better for the blog as I see it. And the price is not too high.

I think I'm safe to do a list now of various anime and games I've gotten over the Xmas/Bday month (I actually did post the manga as I got them though, so I should be good on that!)

Anime (and other BDs):
Avatar: TLA BD
Cluster Edge parts 1+2 DVD
Den-noh Coil parts 1+2 DVD
Digimon Adventure Tri parts 4 and 6 BD/DVD

Garo live-action TV BD (season 1 and the three movie thingies that came after season 1)
Gatchaman Crowds Insight BD
No. 6 BD
Rick & Morty season 3 BD
Samurai Jack Complete BD
Time Jam: Valerian & Laureline DVD
Ushio & Tora complete series DVD


In the case of some of these being on DVD, they were just way cheaper for blind buys. For example on Ushio & Tora, the BD was like $30 some and the DVD was $9. Also, I now have all of the Digimon Tri! Just in time for yet ANOTHER anniversary project to commence!
I also preordered Re:Zero part 2 and Legend of the Galactic Heroes: Die Neue Thesis, the latter largely being a middle finger to Sentai by showing them I am willing to buy LoGH, in fact, ALL the LoGH, at more reasonable prices. And I have now put my money where my mouth is (again, that is, since I am buying the novels too, even though I'm bad at reading novels and may, in fact, never read them, it's still worth it to me).

Games:
Banner Saga Trilogy PS4
Horizon Zero Dawn Complete PS4
Octopath Traveler Switch

Ooh, that's right, I got a Switch! I also got Super Smash Bros Ultimate, because obviously, I am going to need it. NEED IT! It's pretty awesome though, ya.

My holiday spoils!

Gifted to me directly:
R.O.D. Read or Die OVAs DVD (I'm guessing it was discontinued or donated to the library my mother-in-law works at, and since she knows I'm into anime, I'm guessing she was able to pick it up somehow? I don't know. But I've seen the OVAs before and liked them, so I'm fine with this!)
Mary and the Witch's Flower Blu-Ray/DVD Combo
Black Butler: Book of the Atlantic Blu-Ray/DVD Combo


And bought with Christmas money:
The Water Dragon's Bride Vols. 4-6 (Thank you B&N's sale~ Hoping to go back around the 1st to try and get Vols. 7-8, and one of two other books.)

One order from RSA's holiday sale, a few hours before it ended (oddly in the dead of night, rather than at midnight CST like usual).

Gakuen Alice DVD
Haganai Anime Classics BD/DVD
Haganai NEXT Anime Classics BD/DVD
Is this a Zombie? Anime Classics BD/DVD
Is this a Zombie? Of the Dead Anime Classics BD/DVD
Speed Grapher S.A.V.E. DVD

Even though Sentai's sale prices aren't quite as insane as during the Black Friday sale, they may tempt me into another order here.

--------------
From Sentai's sale on Dec 4 2018
Black Bullet BD
Hayate the Combat Butler S1 BD
Flip Flappers BD
Little Busters! EX BD
Little BUsters! Refrain BD
To Heart 2 BD
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya 2wei! BD
Celestial Method BD
Mashiro-iro Symphony DVD
Hayate the Combate Butler S2 BD
Kokoro Connect BD

There is gonna be the anime festival in Australia next March. I'm already thinking about purchasing tickets because it's gonna be the biggest Australian anime-related event of 2019. I think it's gonna be interesting and I've always wanted to visit this country.
