Winded up having to cancel my order of Sing a Bit of Harmony from Crunchyroll late last week since I got no notification on why I never received it since its release from a few weeks ago. So winded up getting it off Amazon instead as of today.

My birthday is tomorrow, but my husband and I went out today to celebrate as the weather will be... Well, we're going from sun and 70s/80s to rain and 40s/50s turning into snow overnight. Definitely today was the better day. Anime hyper

My haul:
Yakuza Lover Vols. 1-2 (finally sprung for it since I saw it as Half Price Books; was debating about it since I read the review on here)
Dr. STONE Vol. 11 (haven't seen it in store for awhile, and I had a $5 coupon for Barnes & Noble so I basically got it for 1/2 off)
Dr. STONE Kohaku Banpresto figure (Very excited to have found this!)

I also got two little Anya Forger keyrings from Hot Topic, which I'm keeping them in my shelf with my other figures.

Just pre-ordered the Ancient Magus Bride OVA series (too much of a mouthful to say the full title) off Rightstuf.

Went to a local gaming store near me and traded in a number of my older anime titles I'd been having trouble sell off to go toward the purchase of getting Season 2 of Quintessential Quintuplets. After trading stuff in, only had to pay about $8 for the remaining cost of the set.

Largely DVD movies or series. But let's see:

Ex-Driver: The Movie
Hatenkou Yugi
Napping Princess
Starmyu: Season 1 (sole Blu-Ray set I got rid of)
Good Witch of the West
Wish Upon the Pleiades
Atelier, Escha, and Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky
Perfect Insider

Majority of these, I'd been attempting to sell the past few years now. But wasn't getting any traction with them, even when I was lowering prices. So figured if I couldn't sell them off, might as well trade them in toward an anime. The store has a decent amount of titles in stock, largely older titles on DVD. Got Media Blasters' old release of Voogie's Angel from them a few weeks ago.

biannual library sale...
Yakitate!! Japan manga 2-7,9-26 $1.50-$2 each

I met the guys (also readers/resellers) who got into the comics/manga room first. They got into line 5 hours early. Cleared out most of the manga, but seemed too focused on "big" titles- so they missed this. For reselling purposes, I skipped the filled-up comics room initially and picked up early D&D boxes/books. I actually found these on day two. Makes me wonder if I could have gotten 1 &8 if I got in earlier.

Just slapped down close to $75 CAD for an Anime North weekend pass (to be held at the end of May). Worth every cent. Between scoring bargains and lasciviously leering at scantily clad cosplayers (yes, even some of the female ones!) it's great fun for Blood-.

20 years since Love Hina became my first "in the anime fandom" (i.e. after picking up Sailor Moon S1-4 based on having seen it on TV years prior) series acquired on DVD, I've finally finished off the collection of every Ken Akamatsu-related anime via Amazon, with:

Ground Defense Force Mao-chan DVD Vols. 2-4
My Santa DVD (2007 version)

I'd already had Mao-chan V1 sitting around via a convention screening stash, although it'd become obsolete since it was from a company that no longer existed and couldn't provide screening permissions. And the prices for My Santa finally came down from absurdly high OOP levels, to about $22 before taxes/shipping.

I remember picking up Mao-chan 1 thru 4 and My Santa super cheap from TRSI years ago. I've watched the first volume of Mao-chan but haven't gotten around to the rest, yet.
