Nice haul, ShiroAkuma. I went through my cheesy OVA-buying phase last year and I'm not done yet. And I wasn't the one who bought that Welcome to the NHK volume. I have the two set version that Funi put out. Awesome title.

...Tried to buy the Welcome to the NHK volume 6 that was on ebay a few days ago that was listed at $2,000 or best offer. For the hell of it I tossed $100 at it, instant decline. It ended up selling for $180. Anyone on here buy it?


I was collecting the singles when that was being released. I'm glad Funi picked it up. I can't believe resellers these days though 2k?!?! 180?! Shocked For this single Volume? that's worst than crazy. that's just wrong. who'd pay that much when there's a S.A.V.E. still available? (I think)

here's a pic of the singles I collected

For as far as I know that one's still available. Paid the grand total of 15 bucks for it a couple of months ago, so the asking price of 2k is making my mind boggle (so is 180 by the way).

While nothing on Day T-3 interested me, it was still the final day of Yen Press and I am a manga hog. I went pretty light for me though, I was holding back.

Manga
Bride's Story 4
One Thousand and One Nights 8-11
Raiders 7-9


So this completes the only two manhwa I was collecting. Raiders 9 and Bride's Story 4 are pre-orders. Both 1001 and Raiders will clear up some valuable real estate on my collecting shelves though!

Anime
Gundam 0079 set 2
Natsume's Book of Friends


The Gundam set is for my step brother for xmas. I sold him my set 1, and now that both sets have a counter, it seemed a good chance to make sure he got it. I'm not a Gundam fan, but putting that on the order, since it wasn't already on sale, let me add a free $1 Blind Bargain Bin Item with a coupon from my catalog. This will be my first BBB, so let's hope it's not a complete hunk of junk!
I remember watching the first two eps of Natsume, and liking them. Then I remember buying the first three manga and, oddly enough, disliking them. Then I watched Hotarubi no Mori e, and loved it, so I went to read the short it was based on...and disliked it. Maybe her stuff just works better as anime? So I'm hoping I will like it as I remember liking the first two eps ages ago and not dislike it as I wasn't big on the manga version. If not, it will certainly be an easy trade/sell in the future once the premium set goes OOP. Also, this is my first ever NISA set!

Bandai's ever-dwindling stocks caused me to make a TRSI order - which I hated to do since none of the stuff I bought is related to the current sale, but you gotta do what you gotta do when stuff is hovering on the OOP cusp.

Escaflowne: The Movie DVD
The Girl Who Leapt Through Time DVD, Limited Edition
Gundam the Movie: Char's Counterattack
Gundam, Mobile Suit 00 The Movie DVD: Awakening of the Trailblazer
Gundam, Mobile Suit 0079 Sets 1 & 2
Gundam, Mobile Suit 0080 DVD
Gundam, Mobile Suit Zeta Sets 1 & 2
Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya & Nyoron! Churuya-san! 1 & 2
My-Otome DVD Complete Collection
My-Otome 0 ~S.ifr~

Thank god for GotAnime - it saved me almost $35.

Due to the counter on Maid Sama part 1 dropping below 20 I decided not to wait until tomorrow to order:

Allison & Lillia DVD Generation 1
Allison & Lillia DVD Generation 2
Maid Sama DVD Collection 1
Maid Sama DVD Collection 2
Mazinkaiser/Shuten Doji DVD Double Pack

I already have Shuten Doji but I needed something to get free shipping and Mazinkaiser looks entertaining.

If money wasn't so tight I would order more now, but I need to wait and see if anything I really want comes up later in the sale.

A small OOP victory today. I had some time to kill in Glasgow before my train this evening, so I took a stroll along Sauchiehall Street to a large chain bookstore, and what awaited me there was not 1, but 2 copies of Goong volume 8! I only bought 1 but that's good enough for me!

I also picked up We Were There 15 from the comic store.
