If were talking book backlogs I have 178 unread volumes of manga (technically much more since a lot of them are omnibuses) and 69 novels. Might as well start reading as long as I'm think about it...
The latest editions to it are: Overlord Novel 6 Strike the Blood Novel 8 |

Got back into Buyee last week...it’s been years since my last bid. Won a few things, Little Busters! Blu-ray vol 1-9 and Little Busters! ~Refrain~ Blu-ray vol 1-7 and DURARARA!! Blu-ray Box. Considering a bid on a set of Love Live! 2nd Season discs. Three days left on the auction guess I’ll see how I feel in a couple days.
I’ve reached a personal milestone with these auction wins. I’ll be over 400 import discs in my collection (DVD/BD/CD) exact number is about 405. Really exciting. Never thought I’d get to that amount when I started collecting in 2010. |

@ luffypirate - that is an impressive amount of imports for sure! Yeesh, I'd hate to think what the bill for that is. I only have two Japanese imports myself: the Time of Eve ONA and Children Who Chase Lost Voices. Despite being tempted by certain TV shows, at the end of the day I just couldn't pull the trigger on sets that were expensive and didn't even have subs (both EVE and Children did).

@ Blood- wow thank you that means a lot. Oh goodness I think about the cost sometimes...I’m surprised I didn’t keep track of it (maybe that was a good thing lol) you know, I had stopped buying all together for quite a while, both domestic and import. I took on a new career in social work and couldn’t find a full time position for the longest time. Literally had my income cut in half for about nine months. Couldn’t really find anyway to stretch the money to get some anime discs or figures. Got back into the game about fall of last year.
I found a new way to buy the imports...it requires a fair amount of luck an vigilance but it’s been working. The place to look is...eBay, yes bizarre I know lol the past few months I’ve won some great auctions for anime far under retail cost. If you give it a search once a day you’ll come across some pretty rare stuff. Prior to those last Buyee wins, here’s everything I found on eBay with the total cost: Love Live! Blu-ray vol 1-7 and Love Love! 2nd Season Blu-ray vol 1-2 Code Geass Akito the Exiled Blu-ray vol 1-5 Captain Earth Blu-ray vol 1-9 Natsuiro Kiseki Blu-ray vol 1-7 Total cost with shipping was $273! Less than $10 a volume and some of them were still unopened, and those were just the ones I bid on. I saw some Macross Frontier Blu-ray discs for the films for $10 a piece, a copy of the Anthem of the Heart LE Blu-ray go for $20, and (this is a big one) a Star Driver Complete Blu-ray Box with a copy of the movie for $37!!! If there’s ever an import you’re considering always give eBay a look. You might be surprised about what you find! I usually search “import anime Blu-ray” or “import anime Japan”. |

Holy crap, that's an amazing deal! And you are more generous than I am... if I stumbled on a method of getting import discs for cheap, I don't think I'd share it with the class... who needs other people bidding up the costs!
It's nice to see you back, luffypirate. You were gone for quite some time (for reasons that are now known) and you always struck me as a good guy. |

Due to finally buying a region-free Blu-Ray player last year, I discovered the "art" of importing myself. I don't think I'll ever get to 400 discs, but I have over 50. In fact, my first purchases of the year were imports:
1. Mr. Osomatsu Complete Collection 2. Gundam 00 Complete Collection (both seasons) Madman was having this ridiculous sale shortly after New Years. I got Mr. Osomatsu for less than $10 and Gundam for about $20. Shipping took everything to just under $70, but it was worth it. I know VIZ licensed Mr. Osomatsu but I don't like them much. I'm not much interested in the series, either, but bought the show on a whim since it was so cheap. I own the original Bandai release of both seasons of Gundam 00 but they take up too much space on my shelves. I also made my first order of the year with RightStuf: 1. Ajin Season 2 PE box set 2. My Hero Academia Season 2 Part 1 LE |

Thanks to a total of 30% off at Barnes and Noble, picked up Fairy Tail Vol. 20 today.
... Had I done my math better I probably would've gotten something else, but that's okay. One step closer to filling the gap! Also found out they had a Fairy Tail day planner. Thinking of getting it for a unique thing on my shelf at some point, even if I don't use it. I did shift through it and thought it was super cute! |

On the last day of the offer being available, I took advantage of Right Stuf’s special promo code offer for manga specifically licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment and used it to buy To Love-Ru Vol. 3-4 and To Love-Ru Darkness Vol. 2. Always nice to save a few bucks whenever possible and better late than never, especially for a series that’s close to my heart and will wholeheartedly support ‘till the end of time. I considered also getting Made in Abyss Vol. 1, but will wait until the second print for it comes out so that they can remove the Anime Strike logo from the back as I sincerely don’t want to be reminded of that crap service everytime I look at the back. Also bought Pikmin 3 recently. I don’t think think it will get a port for the Switch, so that’s why I went for it now before too much time passes and it becomes very hard to find/its price skyrockets.

The local anime shop has recently remodeled their store to incorporate all of the new manga acquisitions from their manga trade in program, so the hubby and I checked it out yesterday. I was very impressed by the selection! A lot of art books and older manga. I did pick up a few things, and really tempted to go back next week to pick up a few more.
But my picks this time: I.O.N one-shot Chobits: Your Eyes Only art book The Gentleman's Alliance Cross: Arina Tanemura Illustrations art book |
