Got in an order a few days ago and here it is:

My-Otome Zwei LE (pretty freaking awesome box too.)
When They Cry Volume 4.
Karin Volume 3 (holy crap, I can't imagine ending on that scene and then having to wait a year for Volume 4!)
Kanon Volume 6 (BEST ANIME EVER!)
Kamichu Complete Collection.
Hellsing Ultimate Volume 4 LE.

Nui manga Volume 1 (unfortunately, there's a printing problem and I'm missing some pages. Wah!)

Bible Black PVC of Hiroko Takashiro to go with my Imari.

Now it's time to start saving up money again. I've got a Tessa PVC I want.

Zwei is out?! See this is why I read this thread.


Also I just looked up the LE. What are you going to put in the huge box? See, I want the pencil boards, but could care less about the T-shirt. Also I would have to figure out a use for the box if it is indeed awesome.

The box is awesome to me because I'm kinda geeky about clever designs. I'm actually thinking about using it to store all my pencil boards after I take the shirt out. (The pencil boards that came with are okay but I would have been happier with a Nina one.)

Got a couple things in:

Shakugan no Shana (Box set, got because it has the OAV)
Kanon V6 (YAY! finally got to finish the series.)
Aria the Animation.

Oddly enough by getting those titles I did find something a little strange. The Box set of Shana, shows not even a hint that Funimation had anything to do with its re-release. Nothing on the box, disks or other wise, all still has the original Geneon designs and logos.

On the other hand V6 of Kanon, had completely removed all forms of ADV. I didn't check the credits, but even at the beginning funimation's are there.

Just thought it was a bit strange.
I realize its due to licensing and such, but just wondered if others noticed it too.

I just got in the mail today:

Trinity Blood artbox

School Rumble 2nd Semester pt1

Kanon volume 6

Should be a fun weekend! I can't wait to watch Kanon. Getting Kanon and School Rumble in the mail today is about the only thing that has gone right for me this week. I hope next week holds better days. At the very least its good to have monday off!

Well I have the artbox that comes with the first volume, and I can tell you I sure don't want another one of those. From the Amazon link you gave it says in the review that it is a box to hold all three volumes. So I guess it is a "part 1" ender, not a series ender, and it does not include the first two discs. If I got that right then I will be very interested to see what we got coming to us.

Yeah the way it is written on TRSI is sort of confusing, but I am sure once they get some descriptions it will clear up.
I have been following the release of this series quite closely. I think FUNimation listened to the fans (complain about the original box) and brought out the "ender" box that will hold the first three volumes. It also ties into how they will release the remaining disc - two more "ender" box sets. The next "ender" box set contains volumes 4-6, and the last "ender set will contain volumes 7-9.

This evening's ebay scores:

FLCL- doubtlessly I paid too much for this much-lauded title, however, I was feeling reckless.

Rumbling Hearts- In the mood for some romance chaos.

Trinity Blood- Drat you, ebay. These things seem so tempting when I see you on the screen, but I just know I'm going to regret this one later on. Stiiiilllll, it seems intriguing to me.

I liked TB, if that is any help for you. While there is not a conclusive ending, it's a hell of a lot more satisfying than Inu Yasha's ending. Of course, TB is about 130 (more or less) fewer than IY, so that may have helped quite a bit.
